[Breaking] US-Iran ceasefire deal lifts Samsung Electronics and SK hynix 5-6% in premarket trading

[Financial News] Expectations are rising that geopolitical risks in the Middle East will ease after the United States and Iran reached a ceasefire agreement.
As of 8:05 a.m. on the 15th, Samsung Electronics was trading at 342,000 won on NextTrade's NXT premarket, up 6.05% from the previous session. At the same time, SK hynix was trading at 2,269,000 won, up 5.53%.
The sharp gains appear to reflect a rapid improvement in investor sentiment as military tensions in the Middle East, long seen as a major obstacle to global supply chains, came to an end. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), which closed just before this, had already priced in expectations for easing geopolitical risks, with major indexes rising across the board.
