Index Rebalance & ETF Flow Recap: NKY, KOSPI2, New Deal, SET50, MOG Digitech, Syngenta IPO
- There were a couple of ad hoc rebalances in Korea last week for the Korea Stock Exchange KOSPI 200 (KOSPI2 INDEX EQUITY) and KOSDAQ 150 Index (KOSDQ150 INDEX EQUITY).
- Coming Friday will mark the end of the review period for the next rebalance of the HSI, HSCEI, HSTECH, HSCI, LQ45, PCOMP as well as the SET50 June implementation.
- With Japan indices moving higher, the largest inflows went into ETFs tracking the Nikkei 225 (NKY INDEX) and other local/global indices.
EQD | Volatility Update: Weekly Review of Vol Changes and Best Trades-Loose Lips Sinks Ships

Intel Planing on Pulling A Samsung
- By combining TMG+TD+IFS into a single reportable segment, all internal demand will move to this new entity, leapfrogging Intel to global #2 foundry by Q1’24 instead of by 2030
- This new structure risks obfuscating the details of external foundry customer growth
- A much simpler step by step approach which achieves all Intel’s stated goals while retaining visibility into IFS would be far more preferable from a shareholder perspective
