EWY (iShares MSCI South Korea ETF) is an exchange-traded fund listed in the United States that specifically tracks the performance of the Korean stock market. The ETF comprises Korea's most representative large-cap companies, including globally renowned industry leaders such as Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor, LG Chem, and SK Hynix.
Through MEXC's EWY futures contract, investors can conveniently participate in Korean stock market price movements without directly purchasing Korean stocks or U.S. ETF shares, enjoying a more flexible trading experience.
MEXC EWY Contract supports both Cross and Isolated margin modes, meeting the needs of investors with different risk preferences:
The product offers up to 20x leverage, allowing investors to control larger trading positions with less capital, improving capital efficiency.
