KRX Confirms 20% Samsung and Hynix Caps for Thursday’s Semis Rebalance

By Sanghyun Park

  • KRX confirmed the 20% Samsung and Hynix caps for Thursday. Hynix alone implies KRW 1.2tn of sell flow, with KODEX expected to fully replicate.
  • While TIGER remains uncertain due to replication issues and lack of desk confirmation, it represents only 20% of AUM. Expecting at least 90% total AUM movement for Thursday remains realistic.
  • For passive impact, Friday’s combined KRX/NXT DTV is likely the best proxy, given recent volume volatility and improving semiconductor liquidity.
