SpaceX's 'puny free float' is sparking concerns about greater stock volatility
NEWS | 09 June 2026
SpaceX float 'in a different universe'Most companies that trade on major indexes have about 80% of their stock available for public trading, according to Nasdaq. SpaceX's free float is projected to be dramatically lower, with roughly 4% of shares doled out to investors. Still, SpaceX's float "is in a different universe," Focused Wealth Management's Jacob Friedman said. This can discourage longterm investors like mutual funds and pension funds and fuel investments from more speculative traders and risk-chasing retail investors. SpaceX's low float adds to already high potential for stock volatility from the retail component of this particular IPO.

South Korea's red-hot stock market is having a wild start to the week
NEWS | 09 June 2026
South Korea's red-hot stock market index, the Kospi, is experiencing a volatile start to the week, dropping 8% on Monday, before gaining 8% on Tuesday. South Korea's stock market is dominated by two tech giants — Samsung and SK Hynix — which have both passed market capitalizations of more than $1 trillion in recent weeks. As a chipmaker, SK Hynix is particularly vulnerable to US market moves. As Korea's market was closed by the time the Nasdaq made its move on Friday, the impact of the US sell-off wasn't fully felt in Asia until Monday. Long regarded as something of a backwater in the investment world, the South Korean stock market has shaken off that reputation in the past couple of years.
