South Korean stock market surges over 55% and consolidates leadership in 2026

Meanwhile, the South Korean stock market has seen a strong appreciation since January 2026.

According to the Market Data Monitor report from Itaú BBA, the index accumulated a rise of 191.5% in 12 months.

However, during the early conflict between Iran and the United States in 2026, there was significant volatility.

At that moment, the Kospi index fell by 12.1% in a single day, triggering the circuit breaker.

Even so, the market later recovered and consolidated its global leadership.

Furthermore, the performance was driven by the technology sector, especially semiconductors.

Thus, areas related to artificial intelligence and digitalization increased investor interest.

Structure of global funds favors Asian markets in 2026

Moreover, the composition of global funds reinforces the Asian advantage.

According to March 2026 data from MSCI Emerging Markets, South Korea represented 15.4% of the portfolio.

On the other hand, Brazil had only 5.15% participation in the same index.

Meanwhile, Taiwan led with 22.53%, concentrated mainly in the company TSMC, with 13% of the allocation.

Thus, Asian markets receive a greater structural volume of international capital.

Foreign investors buy stocks while Brazilians shift to fixed income

Finally, in contrast to foreign capital, Brazilian investors reduced their exposure to the stock market.

According to Itaú BBA, equity funds recorded a net outflow of R$ 7.14 billion in 2026.

Meanwhile, fixed income funds received R$ 154 billion in the same period.

Thus, the advance of the Ibovespa was mainly supported by international resources.

Therefore, local investors remained more conservative, prioritizing lower-risk assets.

In this scenario, with foreigners buying and Brazilians shifting to fixed income, will Brazil be able to maintain this pace without global leadership?
