Rising Korea Inbound ETFs Amid Global Market Decline

The recent escalation in tensions between China and Japan has led to a significant surge in Korea's travel and cosmetics-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Notably, the 'VITA MZ Consumption Active' ETF climbed by 10.55%, reflecting investors' heightened interest in inbound industries. This surge is primarily due to the Chinese government's travel restrictions on Japan, which resulted in increased travel demand between China and Korea.
Conversely, global markets showed a downward trend due to concerns over the profitability of the artificial intelligence industry. Battery and semiconductor-related ETFs also dipped, attributed to profit-taking activities. These global economic factors are prompting a cautious stance among investors, contrasting with the upward performance in emerging market ETFs.
As the inbound theme gains traction, there is an observable shift in individual investors' attention toward more stable indexes such as the S&P500 and Nasdaq 100. Meanwhile, the volatility anticipation in the KOSPI index has caused a flow of net purchases in products like 'KODEX Leverage'. The varying returns across these ETFs are significantly influenced by international developments and consumer trends.
