Why Foreign Investors Are Fleeing South Korean Stocks
from Trade and Tariffs with Fexingo: International Commerce, Trade Wars, and Global Supply Chains · host Fexingo
South Korea's Kospi index plunged 7% on Monday, June 8, 2026, as foreign investors continue to dump Korean stocks despite a record rally earlier this year. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down the numbers: the EWZ ETF dropped 19.2% in five days, and the trade-weighted dollar index sits at 118.9. They explore why capital is fleeing—from geopolitical risks tied to Iran-Israel tensions to structural concerns about Korea's export competitiveness. The conversation drills into the specific data, contrasting Korea with other emerging markets like India and Brazil, and asks whether this is a buying opportunity or a warning sign for global trade. #SouthKorea #Kospi #ForeignInvestment #EmergingMarkets #TradeWar #Geopolitics #IranIsrael #ETFs #EWY #DollarStrength #Exports #GlobalTrade #SupplyChains #Economics #Business #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
