SK Hynix Shares Drop 11% Amid Asian Tech Sell-Off

SK Hynix shares fell over 11% in Seoul on Thursday, reversing an 8% gain from the previous session. This decline follows a broader sell-off in U.S. semiconductor stocks, where Micron Technology dropped 8% and Intel lost over 4%. The decline is partially attributed to profit-taking after a strong rally and concerns over a proposed moratorium on data-center construction in New York. For investors, this indicates potential volatility in the semiconductor sector, which constitutes about 20% of the S&P 500. SK Hynix (000660) is seeing significant market fluctuations following its recent U.S. listing.
