Intel, SK Hynix premarket gains narrow after SK Hynix denies US chip production talks

The move is a reminder that in semiconductor headlines, the denial travels as fast as the rumor — and premarket positioning built on an unconfirmed report can unwind just as quickly. What matters here is the mechanism, not the magnitude: a single Korean statement was enough to pull two stocks back from their earlier premarket levels, showing how thin the conviction behind the original report was. Whether the underlying talks surface again through official channels, or fade as an unconfirmed media item, is the open question worth watching.
