Inverse ETFs Profit Amidst Decline in Domestic Stock Market

The RISE 200 Futures Inverse 2X ETF led with a return of 8.54%, followed by PLUS 200 Futures Inverse 2X (8.33%), KOSEF 200 Futures Inverse 2X (8.31%), and KODEX 200 Futures Inverse 2X (8.24%). The KOSPI index closed down 3.65% at 2676.19, with SK Hynix dropping by 10.4%.
On the 2nd, the KOSPI fell by 3.65%, marking the largest drop in four years, which led to significant returns in inverse ETFs, long-term bond ETFs, and gold ETFs. The 'KODEX 200 Futures Inverse 2X' saw the highest average daily trading volume, indicating strong interest from investors who expect the downward trend in stock prices to continue. Domestic experts suggest conservative responses due to anticipated decline in profit momentum and performance downturn in the latter half of the year.
Last month, as the domestic stock market transitioned from annual highs to a downward trend, trading volumes and interest in inverse ETFs surged. The 'KODEX 200 Futures Inverse 2X' recorded over 3.7 billion shares traded, making it the most traded ETF. Amid the market instability, inverse ETFs are recognized as a stable investment option.
Additionally, ETFs like 'KODEX KOSDAQ150 Futures Inverse' and 'KODEX Inverse' also gained attention with high returns and trading volumes. With the domestic stock market showing signs of weakening, the securities industry anticipates that this downward trend will continue for a while, maintaining the demand for inverse ETFs.
