It's a point also made by Mark Mobius, the Templeton Emerging Markets Group executive chairman and apostle for emerging-market investing.

Maybe that's why the worst day this year for the Kospi index of South Korean stocks was July 28, which was all about a global tech-stock retreat and nothing to do with geopolitics.''
