In the early hours of the 22nd, following a decline in large technology stocks, including global semiconductor leader NVIDIA, both Samsung Electronics and SK hynix stocks are weak.
As of 9:30 a.m. on that day, SK hynix is trading at 174,600 won, down 2,000 won (1.13%) from the previous trading day. At the same time, Samsung Electronics is also trading at 55,000 won, down 400 won (0.72%) from the previous trading day.
On the 21st (local time), the U.S. stock market fell amid concerns over pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump on the Federal Reserve (Fed) and tariff uncertainties.
President Trump wrote on the social media platform Truth Social that "a 'Mr. Too Late' and a major loser could cause an economic slowdown if interest rates are not lowered." He also stated on the 17th that "if I want him to resign, he will step down very quickly."
In particular, the weakness of the large tech stock group known as the 'Magnificent 7' (M7) was pronounced. NVIDIA dropped 4.51%, and Tesla plummeted 5.96% one day ahead of its earnings report for the first quarter. Other large tech stocks such as Amazon (-3.11%), Meta (-3.35%), and Microsoft (-2.35%) also declined.
