▷단일종목 레버리지 규제 '풍선효과'? 모처럼 훈풍 불어오는 코스닥
- As trading volume and value plummet, short-term funds that had been concentrated in large semiconductor stocks are showing signs of diversifying into KOSDAQ.
- On August 4, the Korea Exchange reported that the trading volume of 16 single-stock leverage and inverse ETFs based on Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix totaled 138.99 million shares, a 6.3% decrease from the previous trading day (148.30 million shares on August 3). This marks an 88.7% drop compared to the trading volume of 1.226 billion shares on July 30, just before the regulations took effect. The trading value also fell to 1.2543 trillion won, less than half of the 3 trillion won recorded on the first day of the increased basic deposit requirement on July 31.
- The decline in trading activity is attributed to the financial authorities' tightening of regulations. Starting July 31, the authorities raised the basic deposit requirement for single-stock leverage ETFs from 10 million won to 30 million won to mitigate excessive investment. This increase in the entry barrier is believed to have dampened short-term trading demand.
- Funds that had previously concentrated on large-cap semiconductor stocks in the KOSPI through single-stock leverage ETFs are now shifting towards the KOSDAQ and growth stocks, which have been relatively neglected. In fact, the KOSDAQ closed at 780.72, up 43.37 points (5.88%) from the previous trading day, marking three consecutive days of gains since the implementation of the single-stock leverage regulations.

- South Korea's consumer price index (CPI) for July fell by 0.19% compared to the previous month, while rising 2.78% year-on-year, falling short of the consensus estimate of 2.9%.
- Contrary to concerns, July's inflation rate entered the 2% range, but market attention seems to be focused on the rising core inflation pressure (+0.39% MoM) driven by an increase in personal services prices (+0.72%).
- In August and September, consumer price inflation is expected to rise to 3.4% and 3.1%, respectively, due to the base effect of last year's SKT communication fee reduction and the Chuseok holiday impact.
- Starting in the fourth quarter, a decline in crude oil import prices and stabilization of transportation costs are expected to bring the consumer price inflation rate down to around 2.5%.
- Based on these assumptions, annual consumer price inflation is projected to stabilize at 2.6% and 2.0% for 2026 and 2027, respectively.
