Index Rebalance

<ul>
<li>KT’s foreign room is likely staying below 3.75% for November, setting up an ETF recall play. We've seen short-term buying pressure in similar past index reshuffles.</li>
<li>The ETF recall impact peaks right after the announcement. KT’s May downweight saw a 5% spike in two trading days post-announcement.</li>
<li>KT’s price moves more with downweights than SK Telecom’s because of higher overseas borrowing demand. This trend should hold, so setting up a position before the November announcement makes sense.</li>
