KORU is trading $20.21, down 14.15% on August 18, 2026, as Korean stocks reversed sharply after the KOSPI erased an early semiconductor-led rally and closed 1.55% lower at 6,869.83.
- Profit-taking, institutional selling, and rising global bond yields pressured Korean risk assets.
- Renewed U.S.-Iran tensions and higher oil prices further weakened sentiment.
- KORUβs 3x daily leverage amplified the underlying index move and recent rally giveback.
