# Why Direxion Korea Bull 3X (KORU) rose 15.45% on October 28, 2026

Direxion Korea Bull 3X (KORU) rose 15.45% on October 28, 2026 — SK Hynix earnings boost lifts Korea rally.

## What happened

Korean stocks rallied across Asia as SK Hynix's earnings boosted the AI trade, and the Korea index ETF (EWY) rose 5.1% ahead of a Fed decision.

## Why it moved

KORU holds a fixed 3x multiple of its underlying market, so it roughly tripled EWY's 5.1% move. The Korea rally is the driver here, and the fund amplified it.

## Why it matters

This is the Korea Tech theme, where Korea's memory giants are the main AI-infrastructure exposure in the region. Leveraged Korea exposure makes that theme's swings much larger.

## What would break the thesis

Korea is concentrated in a few memory names, so a reversal in SK Hynix or Samsung would hit the fund hard. The Fed decision could also shift the regional risk trade in either direction.
