iShares MSCI South Korea ETF

U.S. stocks may be breaking records, but a flood of investor cash is moving elsewhere—toward emerging markets, where valuations are cheaper, currencies are strengthening and years of underperformance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/emerging-markets">may finally be reversing.</a>
The iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEMG#NYSE">IEMG</a>) has attracted $7.4 billion in inflows so far in 2025, making it the 12th most bought ETF overall and the second-most popular international equity ETF after the Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VXUS#NYSE">VXUS</a>), which pulled in $7.8 billion.
The US-listed emerging-market fund has also just posted its biggest 4-week inflow since 2021, taking in $3 billion as investor appetite for international diversification in equities heats up.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Emerging Markets, And Why Now?</h3>
Macro analyst Callum Thomas, founder of Topdown Charts, added that many investors remain "seriously underexposed to what may be one of the biggest opportunities in the coming decade."
He pointed to several tailwinds for EM stocks:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Valuations: EM stocks trade at steep discounts to developed markets</li>
<li>Allocations: Global portfolios are underweight EM equities</li>
<li>Currencies: The U.S. dollar may have peaked, while EM currencies are rebounding</li>
<li>Monetary policy: Many EM central banks are actively stimulating growth</li>
<li>Sentiment: Investor skepticism remains high—a classic contrarian signal</li>
</ul>
"We may well be on the cusp of a golden decade for emerging markets," Thomas said.
Technically, Thomas sees signs of a major shift. "There is a clear long-term uptrend in play," he said, noting that EM equities are currently "significantly below" trend.
ETF.com analyst Sumir Roy said the trend is being fueled by investor recognition of growing strength outside the U.S. "This year's rally in international equities has extended to emerging markets, and ETF investors are taking notice," Roy said.
The analyst also broke down why the two most popular U.S.-based emerging markets ETFs have delivered different performance this year.
So far this year, the iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF is up 15.6%, outperforming Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWO#NYSE">VWO</a>)&#8217;s 12.7% gain.
Essentially, the difference came down to the exclusion of one key country. South Korea—is entirely absent from the Vanguard ETF– but makes up 11% of IEMG and has been one of the world's top-performing markets in 2025. 
The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWY#NYSE">EWY</a>) is up 38% year to date, contributing 3.6 percentage points to IEMG's performance, second only to China's 4.3 points.

President Trump Says Talking To Countries About Contributing More To Military; South Korea Should Be Paying For Its Military

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://thearorareport.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/1751976913294blob.jpg" alt="" /></figure>
To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Strong Global Bull</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/stock-market-chart-analysis-trump-tariffs-korea-japan-mc-07082025">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of Ishares Msci South Korea ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWY#NYSE">EWY</a>).
Note the following:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>This article is about the big picture, not an individual ETF.&nbsp; The chart of EWY ETF is being used to illustrate the point.</li>
<li>The chart shows how strong the global bull is in stock markets across the world.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The chart shows that stocks in South Korea rallied after Trump imposed huge tariffs on South Korea.&nbsp; Stocks in Japan also rallied after Trump imposed huge tariffs on Japan.</li>
<li>The chart shows our buy signal near the April lows on Korea ETF EWY and huge gains since then that are beating the S&amp;P 500 (SPX).</li>
<li>By now, you may be asking why did the stocks rally in Korea and Japan after Trump imposed huge tariffs.&nbsp; There are three reasons: 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Global bull is very strong.&nbsp; In a strong bull market, markets focus on hope and ignore potential negatives.</li>
<li>Trump extended the deadline from July 9th to August 1st.</li>
<li>Trump is showing flexibility to extend the deadline beyond August 1st.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The chart shows our signals to take profits in EWY prior to the big drop.  These and similar signals helped protect investors from the big drop in April.</li>
<li>In the early trade, there is buying in the U.S. stock market on optimism about Trump's flexibility.&nbsp; For the time being, the market is ignoring the negatives of tariffs.</li>
<li>Prudent investors should pay attention to interest rates that are inching up again ahead of Treasury auctions.  Treasury will conduct three-year auction today, ten-year auction tomorrow, and thirty-year auction on Thursday.  If auction results are good, expect the stock market to rally.  On the other hand, if an auction fails, there is significant downside risk.</li>
<li>The Fed minutes for the June meeting will be released at 2 pm tomorrow, and it may be market moving.</li>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Arora Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.  Our proprietary Protection Band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors. 
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.

Global Bull Market Holds Strong Despite Tariff Moves On Korea And Japan; Treasury Auction Results May Steer Market Direction

Correction: The current prime minister of Japan is Shigeru Ishiba, not Fumio Kishida. 
The U.S. dollar is notching its strongest one-day gain against the Japanese yen in nearly two months as traders react to President Donald Trump's sweeping new tariffs targeting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46281204/wall-street-today-trump-tariffs-japan-south-korea-stocks-drop">multiple U.S. trading partners.</a>
Starting Aug. 1, all goods imported from Japan and other Asian trading partners will face a 25% tariff, Trump announced Monday, citing persistent trade imbalances and unfair practices.
The move follows a 90-day pause for negotiations that fell short of providing a better outcome than the &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; duties on April 2. And now, the fallout is landing hard.
The dollar surged past 146 yen, gaining 1.2% on the day—its sharpest move since May 12. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Markets Shake As White House Sends Tariff Letters To Trading Partners</h3>
In an official letter to Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, Trump stated that the new tariffs aim to address what he called "years of Japan&#8217;s tariff and non-tariff policies and trade barriers."
He also warned that any retaliatory tariffs would be met with proportional increases by the U.S. and said transshipped goods would face higher rates. 
He also offered an out: Japanese companies that move production to the U.S. won't face tariffs — and he promised quick approvals for those who do.
According to International Trade Statistics data, U.S. imports from Japan totaled $152.07 billion in 2024, with vehicles accounting for $51.27 billion and machinery, including nuclear reactors and boilers, adding another $36.05 billion.
The White House stated that the tariff levels could be revised based on bilateral trade relationships, with the goal of reducing trade deficits and protecting U.S. national security.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">More Countries Face Tariff Hikes</h3>
South Korea will also face a 25% tariff starting in August under the same terms as Japan. The dollar gained 0.9% against the Korean won in the session, reinforcing the greenback's strength amid heightened global tensions.
Several other countries were also named in the tariff list, including:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Malaysia: 25% tariff</li>
<li>South Africa: 30% tariff;</li>
<li>Kazakhstan: 25% tariff,</li>
<li>Laos and Myanmar: 40% tariffs</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs Took A Beating</h3>
Country-focused ETFs sold off hard on Monday: 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The iShares MSCI Japan ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWJ#NYSE">EWJ</a>) dropped 2.3%, marking its worst session since April 10. That's a sharp reversal after a 25% rally off spring lows.</li>
<li>The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWY#NYSE">EWY</a>) plunged 3.5%, also its worst day since early April.</li>
<li>The iShares MSCI Malaysia ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWM#NYSE">EWM</a>) fell 2%.</li>
<li>The iShares MSCI South Africa ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EZA#NYSE">EZA</a>) dropped 2%.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next?</h3>
The White House said tariffs could still be adjusted — higher or lower — depending on "the strength of the relationship" with each country.
Investors are now watching closely to see how Japan, South Korea, and others respond — and whether the European Union, facing a similar deadline this week, becomes the next target in Trump's escalating trade war.
Meanwhile, the message from markets is clear: tariffs are back in play, and traders are bracing for more volatility ahead.

President Trump Says We Are Taking $2B In A Day From Tariffs; Japan Is Flying Here To Make A Deal, So Is South Korea

Treasury Secretary Bessent, In CNBC Interview, Said: Tariff Negotiations Result Of Massive Inbound Calls, Not Market

South Korea&#8217;s suspended president, Yoon Suk Yeol, was removed from office Friday after the country&#8217;s Constitutional Court unanimously upheld parliament&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42497084/south-korean-lawmakers-impeach-yoon-over-martial-law-attempt">impeachment over his December martial law declaration</a>.
What Happened: All eight justices voted to strip Yoon of presidential powers, concluding he had &#8220;committed a grave betrayal of the trust of the people&#8221; and created widespread chaos in society, the economy, and foreign policy, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/04/south-korea-president-yoon-suk-yeol-impeachment-verdict-results-removal">reported</a> The Guardian.
Acting president Han Duck-soo will remain in office until a new leader is elected within 60 days. Han pledged to ensure &#8220;there are no gaps in national security and diplomacy&#8221; during the transition period.
&#8220;The defendant not only declared martial law, but also violated the constitution and laws by mobilizing military and police forces to obstruct the exercise of legislative authority,&#8221; said acting chief justice Moon Hyung-bae in the televised ruling.

Why It Matters: South Korea&#8217;s National Assembly initially impeached Yoon in mid-December after he imposed martial law, claiming it was necessary to prevent &#8220;anti-state&#8221; opposition forces with North Korean sympathies from threatening the country. Lawmakers defied security forces to reject the order, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42320772/south-koreas-president-to-be-impeached-in-2024-polymarket-traders-are-unsure">forcing Yoon to lift it after just six hours</a>.
The ruling People Power Party said it &#8220;solemnly accepts and humbly respects&#8221; the court&#8217;s decision, while Yoon&#8217;s lawyer called the judgment &#8220;completely incomprehensible&#8221; and a &#8220;purely political decision.&#8221;
Political uncertainty has weighed on South Korean markets. The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWY#NYSE">EWY</a>) closed at $53.14, down 2.73%, while the Franklin FTSE South Korea ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLKR#NYSE">FLKR</a>) ended at $18.09, down 2.79% on Thursday. As of Friday, 12:37 p.m. local time, the Korea Composite Stock Price Index or KOSPI was down 1.49%, trading at 2,449.69.

South Korea's Yoon Suk Yeol Removed, Court Says President 'Committed A Grave Betrayal'

As global markets reel from Donald Trump&#8216;s sweeping tariff announcement, speculators who wagered on a chain reaction of trade retaliation may soon cash <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44626421/trumps-reign-of-tariffs-unleashes-d-day-on-wall-street-analyst-warns-of-stagflation-risk">in the big prize.</a>
On Thursday, trading on CFTC-regulated prediction platform Kalshi lit up with activity as speculators priced in a sharp rise in retaliatory tariffs from major U.S. trading partners. 
The market titled "Which countries will impose tariffs on the US before Q3 2025?" saw odds spike across several jurisdictions in the wake of Trump's announcement.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Global Trade War Now Becomes The Base Case</h3>
<ul>
<li>The odds of South Korea enacting retaliatory measures soared to 79%, up 29 percentage points in a single day. </li>
<li>Japan followed with a 33-point jump to 73%</li>
<li>South Africa climbed to 74%, up 16 points.</li>
<li>India saw a more cautious move, with odds now at 35%</li>
<li>Kalshi traders assigned a 96% probability that Brussels will strike back with its own tariffs in the coming months.</li>
</ul>
Only Mexico moved in the opposite direction. Following Trump&#8217;s exemption of North American partners from the new tariff structure, the odds of retaliation from the southern neighbor collapsed to 45%, down 31 percentage points.

Speaking on Bloomberg TV, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick attempted to downplay the likelihood of backlash, saying the tariffs will be applied broadly and uniformly, and adding that "it will not be effective for countries to retaliate against Trump tariffs."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Country ETFs Witness Deep Declines</h2>
Amid the turmoil on Wall Street, U.S.-listed country ETFs took a beating Thursday as investors dumped risk ahead of possible tit-for-tat tariffs,
The VanEck Vietnam ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VNM#NYSE">VNM</a>) plunged more than 8% in premarket trading, on track for its worst session since March 2020. The U.S. will apply a 46% tariff rate on Vietnam.
Japan's iShares MSCI Japan Index Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWJ#NYSE">EWJ</a>) dropped 3%, while the iShares China Large Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>) fell 1.8%.
