SMHX is trading at $57.02 (+2.94%) after overnight strength in semiconductor shares, supported by SK Hynix’s buyback and cancellation plan.
- SK Hynix announced a 40 trillion won share buyback and cancellation plan beginning August 20, supporting chip-sector sentiment.
- Lower Treasury yields and firmer Asian equities improved risk appetite, while U.S. index futures remained mixed.
- The catalyst appears sector-driven, not company-specific.
