SK Hynix’s U.S. market debut drives premarket gains, following a chip-led rally that lifted the Nasdaq on Thursday.
Premarket trading saw select stocks gap higher Friday, led by anticipation of South Korean memory chipmaker SK Hynix’s Nasdaq debut. The move follows a chip-driven rally that pushed the Nasdaq higher in the previous session, though broader stock index futures remained mixed.
Investors are focusing on SK Hynix (SKHY) as it begins trading in the U.S., a key development amid ongoing demand for semiconductor stocks. The Nasdaq closed higher Thursday, buoyed by strength in chipmakers, while futures for the S&P 500 showed little direction ahead of the opening bell.
No immediate market reaction was reported in premarket activity, with attention centered on SK Hynix’s listing and broader sector trends.
