Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have been on the rise recently due to the strong semiconductor boom from the U.S.

As of 10:10 a.m. on the 18th, Samsung Electronics was 282,500 won, up 8,000 won (2.91 percent) from the previous day. Samsung Electronics seems to adjust its gains after rising to 288,000 won at one point during the day.

At the same time, SK Hynix is also trading at 1.761 million won, up 117,000 won (7.11%) from the previous day. On this day, SK Hynix is adjusting its rise after rising to KRW 1.79 million at one point during the day.

This seems to have led to the strong atmosphere of semiconductors in the New York Stock Exchange last night to the domestic stock market. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index closed 1.64 percent higher last night. Micron (4.13 percent), SanDisk (8.88 percent), and SK Hynix’s US stock deposit certificate (3.04 percent) also rose sharply.

Moreover, semiconductors continue to rise despite unstable international sentiment. The three major New York stock indexes closed lower last night as international oil prices soared due to the conflict between the two countries, with the 60-day negotiation deadline between the U.S. and Iran expiring without extension.

Meanwhile, as of this time, foreigners and institutions are net buyers of 1.632 trillion won and 132.6 billion won, respectively, in the securities market. On the other hand, individuals are selling a net 1.1578 trillion won.
