US CPI Inflation Rate moved up to 4.2% in May, its highest level since April 2023. The Inflation Rate is now 0.6% above the Fed Funds Rate. The Fed is once again behind the curve and should be hiking interest rates.

‼️South Korean investors are facing massive LIQUIDATIONS:

Forced stock sales from margin loan calls surged to ~300 billion won, or ~$197 MILLION, over the last few trading sessions, the largest reading on record.

This comes as retail margin debt hovers near a record 38 trillion won, or ~$24.9 billion, leaving millions of leveraged retail investors exposed to further forced liquidations as the Kospi Index continues to swing violently.

The Kospi CRASHED -8.3% on Monday, surged +8.2% on Tuesday, then fell -4.5% on Wednesday, with the Korea Exchange temporarily halting program trading on both Monday and Wednesday to prevent automated selling from deepening the declines.

As a result, the Kospi 200 volatility index surged above 90 for the first time on record on Tuesday, underscoring the extreme stress building in one of Asia's most concentrated equity markets.

This comes as Samsung and SK Hynix account for over 50% of the Kospi's total weighting and nearly 75% of its 2026 gains, meaning the entire rally is built on just 2 stocks.

Is the Korean AI market bubble POPPING?

🚨BEARISH BETS ON SOUTH KOREAN STOCKS ARE SKYROCKETING:

The Kospi 200 put-to-call open interest ratio has surged to ~2.5 times, its highest level in 5 YEARS.

In other words, there are 2.5 times more open bearish positions than bullish ones on the Kospi 200.

Such elevated put-to-call open interest is often associated with increased demand for downside protection and cautious investor sentiment.

Historically, this ratio has only crossed this level twice before: in July 2007, just before the Great Financial Crisis, after which the Kospi 200 fell nearly -17% in a single month, and in January 2021 during the meme stock mania peak, after which it declined more than -5% over the following 3 weeks.

Meanwhile, the Kospi 200 index is already down -14% since its all-time high.

Is a bear market coming to South Korea?

$QQQ actually saw record volume on Friday with $71b, which was also the most traded equity on planet, more than SPY, MU, TSLA, NVDA. Also amazing just how much more 70b is than QQQ's big days 10yrs ago. It is the crown jewel of the financial world. Unlike SPY it has no competition (yet) and it can charge more.

⚠️Market leverage has reached UNPRECEDENTED levels:

Global leveraged single-stock ETF assets under management hit a record $65 BILLION before the market sold off.

This figure DOUBLED in a matter of weeks.

Meanwhile, the 3x leveraged long semiconductor ETF, $SOXL, DUMPED -31% on Friday and -35% over the last 2 sessions.

Furthermore, the 3x leveraged long Nasdaq 100 ETF, $TQQQ, dropped -14% on Friday.

All while the 3x leverage long South Korea ETF, $KORU, plunged -42% on Friday and -50% over the last 3 sessions.

So many have gambled with leverage, and now they are paying the price.

[Global Markets Investor @GlobalMktObserv]

🚨A COMPLETE MASSACRE UNFOLDED IN LEVERAGED SOUTH KOREAN ETFS AS THE AI BUBBLE BEGAN TO DEFLATE:

The 3x long leveraged South Korea ETF, $KORU, listed in the US, dropped -42% in just one session.

$KORU has now more than HALVED in price in just 3 trading sessions.

Monday’s session in South Korea is setting up to be epic.

Many retail and institutional investors never learn from their mistakes and continue to rush into hyped themes.

What is even worse is their use of leverage.

Warnings were clear and everywhere.

The New York Times accidentally revealed the moral bankruptcy of capitalism.

China is making breakthroughs in cancer drugs, clinical trials, biotech research, and life-saving medicines.

The first American reaction is not:
“How many patients can this save?”

It is:
“Will this threaten U.S. dominance?”
“Will American biotech lose its edge?”
“Will Big Pharma struggle to keep up?”

That tells you everything.

In a sane world, better cancer drugs would be a human victory.
In Washington’s world, even medicine becomes a battlefield the moment China helps people live.

China’s biotech rise is not just about winning.
It is about responsibility to a massive patient population that cannot wait for American monopolies, American prices, or American permission.

Cancer patients do not care about U.S. dominance.
They care about staying alive.

And that is exactly why China cannot leave this field to America.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
