DW NOTE
South Korea's stock market just posted a single-session volatility spike larger than anything seen during the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis or the 2008 collapse. The KOSPI's 6.75% intraday swing surpasses every previous panic in the index's history, yet there is no obvious domestic catalyst — no bank run, no currency peg break, no chaebol default. Either Seoul is absorbing contagion from an external shock not yet visible in other indices, or leveraged positioning has reached a threshold where any headline becomes systemic.
