[Featured Stocks] Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix Fall as US Semiconductor Stocks Close Lower

Leading domestic semiconductor stocks are showing weakness. This is interpreted as a result of weakened investor sentiment following a simultaneous decline in the semiconductor sector on the U.S. stock market.

At 10:51 AM, Samsung Electronics is trading at 54,200 KRW, down 1.99% from the previous day. SK Hynix is also down 3.24%, trading at 196,900 KRW.

The simultaneous decline of semiconductor-related stocks in the U.S. market is seen as dampening domestic semiconductor investor sentiment. On the 10th (local time), semiconductor stocks such as Intel (-3.67%), Nvidia (-3.00%), Broadcom (-2.18%), Microsoft (-1.32%), and Qualcomm (-2.32%) all fell in the New York stock market. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index also dropped 2.42%.
