SK Hynix extends gain to 3%, Samsung Electronics turns positive

With no stated catalyst behind the move, the read is less about fundamentals than about how quickly sentiment can reverse in the two names that anchor South Korea's chip complex. A rebound in both, after weakness, matters chiefly as a signal of shifting positioning in memory exposure rather than of any confirmed change in demand or earnings. Whether the gains hold through the session, and whether Samsung's turn positive proves as durable as SK Hynix's larger advance, is the open question.
