# Why iShares MSCI Korea ETF (EWY) rose 5.35% on November 11, 2026

iShares MSCI Korea ETF (EWY) rose 5.35% on November 11, 2026 — Export surge lifts Korea ETF.

## What happened

EWY rose 4.5% after South Korea's November 1-10 exports surged 111.9% y/y, according to customs data. The provisional trade surplus came in at $8.75 billion for the same period.

## Why it moved

A jump that large signals stronger industrial volume and better revenue prospects for Korean exporters, which lifts the whole index.

## Why it matters

This fits the Korea Tech theme, where Korea's exporters serve a global chip and AI-hardware upcycle. The export surge is a macro confirmation that the cycle is flowing into real trade volumes.

## What would break the thesis

The 111.9% figure covers only 10 days, so calendar effects can inflate it. If the full-month print normalizes, the rally could lose its macro support.
