[Financial News] Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, the two leading semiconductor companies, are rising more than 5% and 8%, respectively, in premarket trading. The gains appear to reflect a rebound in global semiconductor stocks, including SK hynix's American Depositary Receipt (ADR), on Wall Street overnight.
As of 8:20 a.m. on the 15th, Samsung Electronics was trading at 278,000 won in premarket trading, up 5.7% from the previous session. SK hynix was trading at 2,075,000 won, up 8.47%.
The move appears to have been driven by a sharp 27% jump in SK hynix's American Depositary Receipt (ADR) after global AI semiconductor stocks rebounded together on the New York Stock Exchange overnight.
By stock, Micron rose by around 5%, and Lam Research gained 5%. SK hynix's ADR surged 27% to close at $193.92.
Investor sentiment toward global semiconductor stocks improved after the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for June came in much weaker than market expectations.
