Samsung, SK Hynix Fall Over 6% Premarket on US Chip Selloff

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix both fell more than 6% in premarket trading, with SK Hynix dropping 7% and its market cap slipping below 1,000 trillion won. The move followed a broad selloff in US semiconductor stocks that dragged down the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, weighing on Korean memory names. The drop is negative for short-term sentiment, but the long-term impact may be limited if industry fundamentals hold.
