Hopes for a peace deal to end the Iran war triggered a massive 8% rally in South Korean stocks, especially lifting semiconductor companies that had been dragged down by the conflict.

## Idea

The sudden de-escalation in the Middle East removes a major overhang for global tech supply chains. South Korea's massive semiconductor sector, which is highly sensitive to global trade disruptions, just saw an enormous single-day pop. When a whole market rallies this sharply on structural news, institutional money often continues to flow in for days as portfolios re-adjust. Buying a broad South Korea fund lets you capture this relief rally safely.
