Trends in U.S. Big Tech ETFs and South Korean Investors
Recently, U.S. big tech ETFs have experienced significant downturns due to tariffs imposed by President Trump and recession concerns. The TIGER Philadelphia Semiconductor Leveraged ETF plummeted by 26.03% in the past week, while the PLUS U.S. Tech TOP10 Leveraged ETF decreased by 20.24%. Overall, major big tech companies face potential downward revisions of earnings, coupled with the threat of a global economic recession, increasing pressure across the ETF sector.
Despite U.S. tariff policies, South Korean individual investors continue to heavily invest in U.S. stocks, with more than 5 trillion won being channeled, and investments in leveraged products are increasing, heightening risk levels. Global investment banks are escalating their sell-offs in technology stocks, and consumer costs are expected to rise due to imposed tariffs. Amidst this economic uncertainty, hedge funds are encountering some of the largest margin calls, prompting demands for additional collateral.
