[Financial News] Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and SK hynix were both up nearly 9% in early trading on the 6th.
As of 9:15 a.m. on the 6th, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. was trading at 255,000 won, up 9.89% from the previous session. At one point, it climbed to as high as 258,000 won, setting a new all-time high.
At the same time, SK hynix was trading at 1,579,000 won, up 9.12% from the previous close. It also briefly rose to 1.62 million won, marking another record high.
The gains were attributed to the overnight rally in U.S. stocks, led by technology shares. On the 5th local time, the three major indexes on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) all closed higher.

Prices were also lifted by signs that the United States and Iran were moving a step closer to ending the conflict. On the 5th local time, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that "great progress has been made toward a final agreement with the Iranian delegation" and that he would temporarily suspend "Operation Project Freedom," which helps stranded merchant ships escape the Strait of Hormuz.
