• South Korea's margin debt has fallen to 33.4 trillion won, the lowest level since April, following a 30% drop in the Kospi index from its June peak. • The decline is driven by plunging tech shares, specifically Samsung and SK Hynix, leading JPMorgan to attribute the trend to widespread deleveraging. • Similar trends are emerging across Asia, with Chinese traders reducing debt at rates not seen since 2015-2016 and Taiwanese retail investors cutting leveraged positions at the fastest pace in over a year.
