South Korea’s index has become a 2026 global outperformer, helped by a heavier weighting to tech stocks and exposure to newer industries. By contrast, Canada’s market has a larger share of traditional sectors such as banking, highlighting a structural mix that may constrain relative upside. The piece is broadly supportive of tech- and growth-led market composition, but it is mostly descriptive rather than event-driven.
