[E-Daily Reporter PARK MIN ] SK hynix continued its upward trend for the second consecutive day on the 21st. Following a rise of over 12% the previous day, driven by the announcement of a large-scale share buyback and cancellation plan, the stock is showing a gain of around 4% today.

while SamsungElectroMechanics(009150)is trading at 1,326,000 won, down 5.01%, showing weakness.

Relatively strong buying interest in SK hynix and SamsungElectronics is helping the top two semiconductor companies support the index from below.
