Growth stocks are getting hit while financials outperform.
Hyundai Motor Group's market-cap ranking and tracking ETFs slipped this week as SK bioscience and Ecopro Materials fell to record lows. Robot-themed ETFs remain heavily concentrated in Hyundai shares despite the pullback. Korea Financial Holdings already posted 2 trillion won in first-half net profit, beating its entire last-year total, while corporate bond issuance nearly tripled year-on-year.
