SKHX Tracks SK Hynix to a Record High Days Before Its Nasdaq ADR Verdict
SK hynix printed an all-time high in Seoul on June 17, touching roughly 2.5 million won as the SEC is expected to clear its ~$14 billion Nasdaq ADR listing around June 22. The proximate spark was a June 16 disclosure that the chipmaker is reviewing shareholder-return measures, which the market read against reported ~100 trillion won figures the company has not confirmed. SKHX, the Hyperliquid perp that converts one SK hynix share from won to dollars, ran 11.79% to about $1,704 — hotter than the equity's single session because its 21-hour window captures both catalyst days. Underneath it is the same AI-memory bid that has the stock up roughly 272% this year at a market cap past $1 trillion.

SKHX Tracks SK Hynix to a Record High Days Before Its Nasdaq ADR Verdict
SK hynix printed an all-time high in Seoul on June 17, touching roughly 2.5 million won as the SEC is expected to clear its ~$14 billion Nasdaq ADR listing around June 22. The proximate spark was a June 16 disclosure that the chipmaker is reviewing shareholder-return measures, which the market read against reported ~100 trillion won figures the company has not confirmed. SKHX, the Hyperliquid perp that converts one SK hynix share from won to dollars, ran 11.79% to about $1,704 — hotter than the equity's single session because its 21-hour window captures both catalyst days. Underneath it is the same AI-memory bid that has the stock up roughly 272% this year at a market cap past $1 trillion.
SKHX Rebuilds Toward $1,528 as SK Hynix's Nasdaq ADR Decision Nears
SKHX is back near $1,528 on the perp, up about 4.44% over 24 hours, but the move reads more as recovery than fresh catalyst. The live event is SK Hynix's planned Nasdaq ADR, where the SEC is expected to clear the listing the week of June 22 ahead of a possible mid-August debut. Behind that sits a freshly signed multi-year Nvidia HBM4 deal, a record quarter, and a stock that just touched a $1 trillion market cap. The perp is positioning into the decision, not reacting to news.
SKHX Drops 4.64% on the Perp While Seoul Closes Green Into the ADR Decision
SKHX fell 4.64% over 22 hours to $1,463 on Hyperliquid even though SK Hynix's Korean listing closed the June 12 session up 2.33%. The perp is round-tripping intraday chop rather than reacting to a fresh negative catalyst, in a name that has swung double digits almost daily this week. The real event is two weeks out: the SEC is expected to rule on SK Hynix's roughly $14 billion US ADR the week of June 22, with a debut targeted as soon as August. A tungsten-gas supply squeeze hangs over the memory sector, but Hynix is better insulated than its peers.
SKHX Fades Its Nvidia-Memory Pop as the SK Hynix Whipsaw Rolls On
SKHX is down 7.07% over eight hours to $1,426 on Hyperliquid, handing back most of the gain it added earlier in the session after Jensen Huang reaffirmed SK Hynix as one of Nvidia's lead memory partners. There is no fresh negative headline behind the fade — it is profit-taking in a name that has swung more than 10% intraday almost every day this week. The next hard catalyst is the SEC, which is expected to act on SK Hynix's roughly $14 billion US listing the week of June 22.
SKHX Round-Trips Its AI-Trade Unwind as Nvidia Doubles Down on SK Hynix Memory
SKHX is up 11.11% over 24 hours to $1,498, erasing the AI-trade unwind that knocked SK Hynix lower earlier this week. The bounce rides a reaffirmed Nvidia partnership: on his Seoul trip Jensen Huang called SK Hynix Nvidia's largest memory partner and confirmed the new Vera CPU will run on SK Hynix DRAM. Two catalysts remain loaded behind the tape — an SEC clearance for SK Hynix's roughly $14 billion US ADR expected the week of June 22, and a roadmap to triple wafer capacity by 2034. With the memory cycle still tight, the perp is round-tripping back toward record territory rather than topping out.
SKHX Snaps Back as SK Hynix Chairman Maps a Tripling of Wafer Capacity
SKHX is up 9.86% over the past day to roughly $1,484, extending a snapback in SK Hynix shares after an early-June AI-trade unwind. The proximate trigger: SK Group chairman Chey Tae-won used a Nikkei interview to lay out a plan to triple the chipmaker's wafer capacity by 2034 and roughly double it within five years, reframing a memory market the company says stays tight through at least 2030. The capacity pledge lifted the broader memory complex and reset the supply narrative just as SK Hynix's up-to-$14 billion US ADR listing heads toward an SEC decision expected the week of June 22.
SKHX Extends Its Run as SK Hynix's $14B US Listing Heads for a June 22 SEC Gate
SKHX pushed up 17.43% to about $1,525 as SK Hynix's plan to list American depositary receipts in the US firmed into a dated event. The chipmaker filed confidentially with the SEC in March and is now expected to clear approval the week of June 22, opening the door to an offering that could raise up to $14 billion. The listing would let US institutions that can't hold Seoul-listed shares own the stock directly, layered on top of an HBM4 win that already made SK Hynix Nvidia's primary memory partner.
SKHX Climbs 14% as Huang's 'Buy the Discount' Call Sparks a Memory-Chip Snapback
SKHX is up 14.27% over 20 hours to roughly $1,461 as SK Hynix leads Korean memory names back from a violent AI-driven selloff. The trigger was Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang telling investors they can now buy chips 'at a discount,' which helped the KOSPI reclaim the 8,000 level after shedding about 15% from its record. Underneath the bounce sit two structural bids: SK Hynix's grip on Nvidia's HBM4 supply and a US ADR listing that could land as soon as August. Just remember SKHX is a KRW-to-USD tracker, so the print blends the equity move with the won.
SKHX Bounces 6% as SK Hynix Leads a Retail-Driven KOSPI Reversal
SK Hynix led a sharp KOSPI reversal on June 11, dragging SKHX up 6.26% to about $1,382 after the index fell roughly 4% intraday before clawing back past 7,800. But this was a domestic-retail bounce, not a foreign re-entry: offshore investors have now net-sold Korean stocks for 24 straight sessions, and individuals did the buying. Record June semiconductor exports, the new NVIDIA HBM4 partnership, and a US listing targeted for August are the structural bid underneath a tape foreigners keep selling.
SKHX Resumes Its Slide as Korea's Chip Selloff Erases the Bounce
SKHX fell 10.72% over the past 23 hours to roughly $1,273 as South Korea's semiconductor selloff resumed, with SK Hynix closing down 7.54% on Wednesday after a one-day rebound of more than 15% the session before. This is not a company-specific story. It is the third sharp leg of a broader KOSPI unwind driven by foreign outflows, AI-bubble repricing, a weak won, and a volatility gauge sitting at record highs. The structural bull case is intact, anchored by a multiyear NVIDIA memory partnership signed this week and a reported plan for a U.S. listing, but for now the perp is whipsawing with Seoul rather than with SK Hynix's fundamentals.
SKHX Claws Back 4.48% as SK Hynix Whipsaws Between the NVIDIA Deal and Record Korean Outflows
SKHX is up 4.48% over 11 hours to $1,371, its third sharp reversal in as many sessions after SK Hynix crashed into a circuit breaker on June 8 and has whipsawed both ways since. There is no fresh headline behind this leg — with Seoul's cash market closed for much of the window, the bounce is mostly a recovering won lifting a dollar-quoted tracker. The bigger fight is structural: a multiyear NVIDIA HBM4 supply deal and an August US listing on one side, record foreign outflows and a Broadcom-driven AI-memory repricing on the other.
SKHX Gives Back Tuesday's Bounce as Foreign Outflows and a Weak Won Bite
SKHX is back near $1,321, down 11.68% in 18 hours, as Korea's Wednesday session sells off Tuesday's 15% relief bounce in SK Hynix. The rebound had no structural bid behind it: foreigners have net dumped tens of billions of Korean stock since May as the AI-memory trade reprices off Broadcom's soft guidance. Because the perp is priced in won and converted to dollars, a weakening won is dragging SKHX down faster than the headline Seoul equity. The fundamentals still point the other way, which is what makes this a repricing rather than a broken franchise.
SKHX Fades Its Relief Bounce as the Broadcom-Driven Memory Rout Reasserts
SK hynix's Hyperliquid perp is unwinding Tuesday's relief bounce, down 8.75% over 16 hours to $1,358 with no fresh headline behind the move. The rebound that lifted the Korean memory giant about 10% in Seoul came after a brutal week in which a soft Broadcom AI forecast knocked roughly a fifth off the stock and tripped a KOSPI circuit breaker. With Korea's cash market thin off-hours, the perp is pricing that spike back down toward where it started, putting the bounce on trial. The next Seoul session decides whether it was a bottom or a head-fake.
SKHX Gives Back 6% of Its Sidecar Spike With Korea's Cash Market Closed
SKHX, the Hyperliquid tracker for SK hynix shares, is down 6.31% over three hours to $1,401, fading from a local high near $1,490. The catch: Korea's cash market is closed, so the underlying stock isn't trading — this is the perp itself giving back the euphoria from a session that saw SK hynix rise about 8% and KOSPI 200 futures trip a +5% buy-side sidecar. After a week that ran from a 10% crash to a circuit-breaker rebound, the off-hours tape is repricing one of the most stretched names in Korea ahead of the next open. No fresh company catalyst is behind the drop.
SKHX Clears Its Crash Round-Trip Into New Highs as Korea's DRAM Market Turns Seller-Friendly
SKHX is trading near $1,493, up 14.25% over 22 hours, after extending the rebound from Monday's 8% KOSPI crash past its round-trip level and into fresh local highs. There was no company-specific news on June 9 — the move was a market-wide repricing, with SK hynix's cash shares up about 8% as a 5% jump in KOSPI 200 futures tripped a buy-side sidecar. Underneath the bounce sits a real memory supercycle: the June 7 NVIDIA partnership, a server-DRAM market tight enough to support price hikes of up to 70%, and a stock already up roughly 250% this year. The risk is the mirror image of that strength — two chipmakers now drive most of the index, and margin debt is at records.
SKHX Round-Trips to $1,460 as Korea Flips From Crash Halt to Buy-Side Sidecar
SKHX, the Hyperliquid perp tracking one share of SK hynix, is up 16.26% over 23 hours to $1,460 — a near-complete round-trip from Monday's KOSPI circuit-breaker crash. On June 9 Korea's cash market flipped to the mirror image of that halt, tripping a buy-side sidecar as the index rebounded 4.8% and SK hynix climbed about 8%. The structural anchor under the bounce is the multiyear NVIDIA–SK hynix memory pact signed June 7. The fragility is that two memory names now make up more than 40% of the entire index, so this bounce is sitting on a very narrow base.
SKHX Reclaims 14% as NVIDIA's Memory Pact Powers a Circuit-Breaker Round-Trip
SKHX has climbed 14.31% to roughly $1,422, completing a round-trip from Monday's KOSPI circuit-breaker crash. The rebound is underwritten by SK hynix's newly signed multi-year memory partnership with NVIDIA, which puts the company at the center of the Vera Rubin AI buildout and starts HBM4 deliveries in the second half of 2026. The Korean market snapped back hard, with the KOSPI up 4.8% and a buy-side sidecar tripping on futures, but SK hynix and Samsung are carrying most of the index, so the same leverage that drove this bounce still cuts both ways.
SKHX Recovers 6.72% as the Circuit-Breaker Panic Fades and HBM4 Holds the Line
SKHX is up 6.72% over 23 hours to $1,334, but there's no fresh catalyst — the perp is simply clawing back Monday's circuit-breaker crash and settling near par with SK Hynix's 1,911,000 won Seoul close. The selloff started with Broadcom's weak AI-chip outlook, which erased more than a trillion dollars across the chip complex and tripped an 8% KOSPI circuit breaker. What's holding SK Hynix up is structural: a new multiyear HBM4 supply deal with NVIDIA running through 2030 and a US listing targeted for this summer. Today's move is the panic unwinding, not a new leg higher.
SKHX Perp Gains 10% as Its Weekend Discount Unwinds Into SK Hynix's 8% Drop
SKHX is up 10.31% over 23 hours to $1,342, but the move is the opposite of what the number suggests. SK Hynix, the stock it tracks, fell 7.68% on Monday to ₩1,911,000 as the KOSPI tripped an 8% circuit breaker and the chipmaker shed roughly $82 billion in market value. The perp is higher because it spent the closed Korean weekend pricing in a worse open than actually arrived, so it converged up from a steep discount even as the underlying dropped. The NVIDIA partnership and a pending US listing keep the long-term bull case intact, but Monday's tape was a macro and profit-taking flush, not fresh strength.
SKHX Trails as SK Hynix Erases a 10% Circuit-Breaker Crash on the NVIDIA Pact
SKHX is up 4.54% over 23 hours to $1,271, but the headline is in the underlying stock, not the perp. SK Hynix staged a violent intraday reversal in Seoul, clawing a roughly 10% circuit-breaker crash back to a 1.59% loss at 2,037,000 won after sealing a multi-year AI-memory partnership with NVIDIA. The perp had already front-run that recovery over the weekend, overshooting to about $1,307 before easing back, so SKHX now sits a few percent below the recovered cash mark near $1,310. The basis that paid traders all weekend has inverted: the perp is the cheap leg now, and this time it is because the equity out-recovered it, not because the market is bracing for a fall.
SKHX Erases Its Weekend Discount as the NVIDIA Pact Floors a Brutal SK Hynix Reopen
SKHX is up 7.80% over 23 hours to about $1,307, but the move is the perp closing the deep discount it carried all weekend, not a fresh bid in the stock. SK Hynix actually reopened in Seoul down roughly 10%, tripping another KOSPI circuit breaker, before clawing back to about -4% at ₩1,986,000 after NVIDIA and SK hynix unveiled a multi-year AI-memory partnership. With the underlying worth roughly $1,275 at a ~1,560 won dollar, the perp has flipped from a 5-9% discount to fair value or a touch above. The basis trade that paid since Friday's flush is done.
SKHX Climbs to $1,269 as the Weekend Discount to SK Hynix Narrows Before Monday's Reopen
The SKHX perp prints near $1,269, up 4.62% over seven hours while Korea's cash market sits closed for the weekend. There is no new equity news here — this is the perp clawing back part of the discount it opened during Friday's Broadcom-triggered memory flush. Against a roughly ₩2.07 million Seoul close and a ~1,540 won dollar, SK Hynix common marks near $1,344, so the perp is still about 5-6% below fair value, down from a ~9% discount a day earlier. Dollar traders are pricing less downside into the June 8 reopen.
SKHX Holds Near $1,225, Locking a Discount to SK Hynix Into a Closed Korea Weekend
The SKHX perp prints around $1,225, down 12.99% over 22 hours and roughly 9% below where SK Hynix common marks after Friday's Seoul close. The cash stock fell 9.92% to about ₩2.07 million in the Broadcom-triggered memory unwind that tripped a KOSPI circuit breaker. With the Korean cash market now shut for the weekend, dollar traders on Hyperliquid are holding that discount rather than waiting for Monday's open to reprice. Nothing new broke overnight — this is the same flush, frozen until June 8.
SKHX Breaks to $1,233 as the Perp Discounts a Second Red Seoul Open
The SKHX perp prints $1,233, down 19.54% over 22 hours and well below where SK Hynix common closed in Seoul. The cash market shut down 9.92% at ₩2.07 million, but with the won sitting near 1,540 per dollar, a clean cash-close-times-FX mark on this share lands around $1,340 — meaning Hyperliquid traders are pricing the perp roughly 8% under fair value with Korea closed. That gap is dollar holders front-running a second down session into the Broadcom-triggered memory unwind that already tripped a KOSPI circuit breaker. Nothing new broke; this is the same flush extending overnight while Seoul can't reprice.
SKHX Slides to $1,304 as a Sub-1,500 Won Compounds the Memory Selloff
SK Hynix common closed down 9.92% at ₩2.07 million in Seoul, but the SKHX perp on Hyperliquid prints $1,304 — down 14.93% over 20 hours, a deeper cut than the cash market took. The gap is currency: the Korean won broke below 1,500 per dollar on June 5, its weakest since 2009, so dollar holders of this KRW-denominated share absorb the equity drop and the FX drop in the same tape. The selloff itself is the Broadcom-triggered memory unwind — soft AI-chip guidance that tripped a KOSPI circuit breaker and accelerated a weeks-long foreign liquidation. The $14 billion US listing is still live, which frames June 5 as a positioning flush rather than a fundamental break.
SKHX Stays Pinned as Foreign Selling Turns the Broadcom Shock Into a Full-Session Flush
SK Hynix common closed down 9.92% at ₩2.07 million in Seoul, capping a full session of selling that began with Broadcom's light AI-chip guidance and ended as a foreign-investor liquidation. The KOSPI shut down 5.54% at 8,160.59 after tripping a sell-side circuit breaker minutes into the open. On Hyperliquid, SKHX prints $1,356, down 11.57% over 14 hours — off the morning lows near $1,325 but still deep in the red as Korea's most crowded trade unwinds.
SKHX Drops 13.6% as Broadcom's Soft AI Guidance Triggers a KOSPI Circuit Breaker
SK Hynix common fell 8.18% to ₩2.11 million in Seoul on June 5 after Broadcom's light Q3 AI-chip guidance gutted the semiconductor complex overnight. The KOSPI tripped a sell-side circuit breaker minutes after the open and slid through 8,100, the first real crack in Korea's 2026 AI-memory bull. SKHX prints $1,325 on Hyperliquid, down 13.60% over 12 hours — a deeper cut than the underlying, as the perp window straddled the record-high leg before the unwind.
SKHX Falls 5.86% as 'Citizen Dividend' Proposal Reverses KOSPI From 8,000
The KOSPI touched 8,046.78 intraday on May 15 before closing 6.12% lower at 7,493.18, after Presidential Chief of Staff Kim Yong-beom floated a 'citizen dividend' funded by excess profits from the AI industry. The proposal was read by the tape as direct extraction from Samsung and SK Hynix, the two stocks now responsible for over 42% of the index. SK Hynix common dropped roughly 7.66% to ₩1,819,000; SKHX prints $1,247 on Hyperliquid, down 5.86% over the past 24 hours and giving back most of Wednesday's $1,340 breakout leg.
SKHX Holds Above $1,300 After SK Hynix's PER Eclipses Samsung for the First Time
SK Hynix's 2026 forward PER reached 6.79x on Wednesday, just above Samsung Electronics' 6.77x — the first time Korea's two memory leaders have ever crossed on that metric. The reset was abrupt: three months ago Samsung carried a 2.80-point premium, erased by SK Hynix's 78.68% one-month return versus Samsung's 35.44%. The SKHX perp is sitting at $1,332, up 5.86% over 23 hours, holding the shelf carved out by Wednesday's record close in Seoul rather than fading the breakout.
SKHX Tags $1,340 as Seoul Closes SK Hynix at Record ₩1,976,000
SK Hynix closed Wednesday's Seoul session at a record ₩1,976,000, up 7.68%, after intraday tagging a fresh all-time high of ₩1,990,000 — eclipsing Monday's prior record. The reversal, from a sub-₩1,800,000 open to a record close, hands the offshore perp a confirmation it had been front-running all night, with SKHX printing a new $1,340 high and running 16.65% over the prior 23 hours. KB Securities' 40% target raise to 2.8 million won on Tuesday set the analyst floor; Seoul stamped the validation.
SKHX Extends Bounce as KB Securities Lifts SK Hynix Target 40% to 2.8M Won
KB Securities' Kim Dong-won raised SK Hynix's price target from 2 million to 2.8 million won on Wednesday, framing the AI memory cycle as a near-zero shortage condition with supply tightness intensifying into 2027. The bump lands two sessions after the stock printed an all-time intraday high of 1.949 million won and one session after the 'citizen dividend' flash crash, with the SKHX perp grinding back to $1,311 — within roughly 1% of the all-time intraday high — even as Korean spot opened May 13 down 1.69%. The offshore book is leading the analyst tape before Seoul confirms.
SK Hynix Bounces as Kim Walks Back the AI 'Citizen Dividend'
Korea's presidential policy chief Kim Yong-beom clarified that Tuesday's 'citizen dividend' framing targets excess AI-related tax revenue, not a new windfall levy on SK Hynix and Samsung profits. That walkback is unwinding the policy premium that flash-crashed the KOSPI from near 8,000 to 7,421 intraday yesterday. SKHX is bouncing into a fundamentals backdrop that has not softened: HBM3E contract prices up roughly 20% for 2026, Q2 DRAM ASPs guided around 40% higher QoQ, and a fresh Intel EMIB packaging tie-up still on the board.
SK Hynix Round-Trips Monday's Move After Korea Floats AI 'Citizen Dividend'
SK Hynix touched an intraday record of 1.949 million won on Tuesday before reversing sharply after presidential policy chief Kim Yong-beom proposed a citizen dividend funded by AI industry excess profits. The KOSPI flash-crashed from near 8,000 to 7,421 intraday, foreigners net-sold 5.6 trillion won of Korean equities, and the won broke 1,489 per dollar. The SKHX perp captured a steeper move than the cash stock as it gave back most of Monday's 11.98% gain on the new Seoul policy risk.
SK Hynix Erases Stone Age Selloff as Iran Accepts Ceasefire and Q1 Profit Hits Record
SK Hynix climbed to 971,000 won in April 8 pre-market trading after Iran formally accepted a two-week ceasefire and Trump suspended military operations, erasing the entire 14.43% SKHX perp selloff from April 2. The recovery is backed by upgraded fundamentals — brokerages now project a record 40 trillion won Q1 operating profit as DRAM prices jumped 40% and NAND tripled within the quarter. Microsoft and Google are simultaneously finalizing multi-year supply contracts with price floor guarantees, treating memory as a strategic reserve rather than a commodity.
SK Hynix Gives Back Ceasefire Rally After Trump Vows to Send Iran 'Back to the Stone Age'
SK hynix fell 7.05% to 830,000 won on April 2 after President Trump used a national address to promise massive strikes on Iran over the next two to three weeks, reversing the previous session's 11%+ ceasefire-driven rally and triggering a 4.47% KOSPI selloff. The SKHX perpetual amplified the move to a 14.43% decline over 20 hours as thin order book liquidity and won weakness past 1,519 to the dollar widened the gap between the perp and its underlying.
SK Hynix Rebounds 12% as US-Iran Ceasefire Signals End March's Korean Selloff
SK hynix jumped over 11% on the Korea Exchange on April 1 after both the US and Iran signaled willingness to end hostilities, triggering a 9% KOSPI rebound from a brutal March that saw the index drop 19%. The SKHX perpetual on Hyperliquid printed a 12.88% gain over 19 hours, reclaiming ground lost during the Qatar helium crisis and broader geopolitical selloff that hammered Korean chipmakers through March.
SK Hynix Drops as Qatar Helium Crisis Collides With Korean Equity Rout
SK hynix fell over 4% on the Korea Exchange on March 19 after Iran's missile strike on Qatar's Ras Laffan complex threatened roughly 30% of global helium supply, a material with no substitute in semiconductor manufacturing. The SKHX perpetual on Hyperliquid printed a sharper 10.33% decline over 22 hours, amplified by a weakening won and thin perp-side liquidity.

SK Hynix Bounces on LPDDR6 Breakthrough and NVIDIA Rubin HBM4 Lock-In
SK hynix gained over 12% on the Korean exchange on March 10 after announcing the world's first 1c LPDDR6 DRAM, a day after reports confirmed the company as the dominant supplier for NVIDIA's Vera Rubin HBM4. The move also catches a broader KOSPI recovery after the index suffered a historic 12% single-day crash last week on Iran war risk-off.
SK Hynix Catches a Bid After Iran War Rout Hammers Korean Equities
The SKHX perp bounced 15% in 21 hours as traders buy the dip on South Korea's worst equity crash since 2008. The Iran war drove KOSPI down roughly 20% over four sessions last week, triggering circuit breakers and dragging SK Hynix into the selloff despite fundamentals that remain arguably the strongest in global semis.
SK Hynix Locks 70% of Nvidia's Vera Rubin HBM4 Supply
SK hynix is up double digits on the Hyperliquid perp as the weekend delivered a company-specific catalyst strong enough to cut through the Iran-war panic gripping Korean equities. The Korea Economic Daily reported Saturday that Nvidia has confirmed SK hynix and Samsung as the sole HBM4 suppliers for its next-generation Vera Rubin AI accelerator, with SK hynix taking roughly 70% of the allocation and Micron shut out of the flagship tier entirely. The perp market, trading 24/7, is pricing in the news ahead of Monday's KRX open — and ahead of Nvidia's formal Vera Rubin unveil at GTC on March 16.
SK Hynix Caught in Historic KOSPI Meltdown as Iran War Threatens Korea's Energy Lifeline
SK Hynix dropped 10.75% over 14 hours on Hyperliquid as the KOSPI suffered its worst two-day crash since 2008, driven by US-Israel strikes on Iran and Tehran's threats to shut the Strait of Hormuz. The selloff exposed a critical vulnerability for Korean chipmakers that import 97% of their energy through those contested waters.
SK Hynix Bounces 10% as Korean Markets Claw Back From Historic Iran-War Crash
SK Hynix (SKHX) ripped nearly 10% higher on March 5, snapping back from the worst two-day rout in KOSPI history. The catalyst is straightforward: an overnight US equity rally took the edge off Middle East panic, and institutional buyers piled back into the most-shorted Korean semiconductor names. At $646.70 on Hyperliquid's HIP-3 perp, SKHX is still well below last week's highs — but the bounce is real.
