According to MP Doctor on the 20th, as of 8:34 a.m., SamsungElectronics is trading at 220,500 won, up 2,500 won (1.15%) from the previous trading day. At the same time, SK hynix is trading at 1,282,000 won, up 5,000 won (0.39%).
Although the New York stock market closed mixed earlier, analysts note that a simultaneous rebound in tech stocks—which had recently suffered significant losses—is contributing to the recovery of domestic investor sentiment.
On the 19th (local time), the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose 1.61% on the New York Stock Exchange, marking its first gain in nine trading days. Micron Technology (2.97%), AMD (1.76%), SK hynix ADR (4.67%), and SanDisk (5.53%) posted particularly notable gains.
Of course, concerns about the profitability of the AI industry continue to sweep through the market, weighing on related stocks. CoreWeave, which had recently faced heavy selling pressure, fell 0.44%, while Meta (-0.55%) and Microsoft (-1.16%) also declined amid caution regarding the returns on AI investments.
