The CSOP SK Hynix Daily (2x) Leveraged Product plummeted 10.51% in pre-market trading on Monday, reflecting amplified negative sentiment towards the semiconductor sector and SK Hynix specifically.
The decline follows a severe sell-off in the U.S. semiconductor sector on Friday, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunging over 10% in its worst single-day performance in nearly six years. This broader market weakness continued into Monday's Asian trading session, with SK Hynix shares falling more than 10% in pre-market trading.
The announcement of a multi-year technology partnership between NVIDIA and SK Hynix, while focused on securing advanced memory supply for AI infrastructure, comes amidst this market turmoil. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's warning that memory shortages "will continue for several years" and that "everything from wafers to packaging to silicon photonics is in short supply" may have contributed to investor concerns about supply chain constraints and their impact on the semiconductor industry's growth trajectory.
