Investment sentiment shrinks on inflation concerns
U.S. stock markets AI and memory-related stocks also plunge
“There is unlikely to be a repeat of the plunge like in July” <\/p>\n

\"[Yonhap \uc0ac\uc9c4 \ud655\ub300 [Yonhap News] <\/p>\n

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, which have recently been recovering, are plunging in the 6-8% range on the KOSPI.<\/p>\n

As of 11:18 a.m. on the 19th, Samsung Electronics was down 18,500 won (6.98%) from the previous day to 249,500 won. Samsung Electronics seems to adjust its decline after falling to KRW 247,000 at one point during the day.<\/p>\n

At the same time, SK Hynix is also trading at 1.526 million won, down 135,000 won (8.12 percent) from the previous day. On this day, SK Hynix is also adjusting its decline after falling to 1.51 million won at one point during the day.<\/p>\n

This seems to have been affected by a contraction in investor sentiment due to inflation concerns due to the rising situation in the Middle East last night. International oil prices rose in the futures market after a ship was shot down in the Strait of Hormuz. In addition, the U.S. 30-year Treasury bond rate rose to 5.33% during the day, the highest level since 2007.<\/p>\n

As a result, AI and memory-related stocks such as Nvidia (-2.343%) and Micron Technology (-7.02%) fell sharply last night on the New York Stock Exchange. In addition, SK Hynix’s U.S. stock deposit certificate (ADR) plunged 9.20 percent and the Philadelphia Semiconductor index plunged 4.98 percent.<\/p>\n

Han Ji-young, a researcher at Kiwoom Securities, said, “The U.S. stock market last night put pressure on semiconductor stocks such as Micron (-6.9%) and SanDisk (-9.0%), which recently staged short-term rallies. Stock market volatility may increase in the process of facing macro uncertainties in the future, including today, but it is necessary to take the possibility of abnormal supply and demand deterioration and stock market crash as in July to be low.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as of this time, foreigners and institutions are net selling KRW 1.7107 trillion and KRW 1.386 trillion, respectively, in the securities market, while individuals are net buying KRW 2.6258 trillion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Investment sentiment shrinks on inflation concernsU.S. stock markets AI and memory-related stocks also plunge“There is unlikely to be…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":124127,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[2668,4317,325,276,241,275,16973],"class_list":["post-124126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sk-hynix","tag-hynix","tag-inflation","tag-middle-east","tag-samsung-electronics","tag-sk","tag-sk-hynix","tag-yonhap-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124126"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124126\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124127"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
