South Korea will temporarily suspend new listings of single-stock leveraged exchange-traded products to rein in volatility after a surge in popularity of funds linked to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. The move is a regulatory throttle aimed at dampening trading swings and reducing leverage-related risk. Near-term impact is likely most concentrated in the leveraged ETF complex rather than the broader market.
