According to E-Daily, Kosdaq-focused ETFs recorded losses of 17-18% over the past month as of July 9. Major Kosdaq 150 ETFs including KODEX, SOL, ACE, TIGER, KIWOOM, and RISE all posted similar declines of approximately 17.5-18%, based on total return calculations. Active-type Kosdaq ETFs experienced steeper losses, with KoAct Kosdaq Active down 22.96%, TIGER Kosdaq Active down 22.82%, and TIME Kosdaq Active down 22.77%.

The Kosdaq index closed at 794.00 on July 9, failing to reclaim the 800-point threshold for the first time in approximately 10 months. The weakness reflects a broader market shift toward large-cap stocks, with investor sentiment dampened by concerns over growth sectors including biotech, secondary battery, and semiconductor materials.
