# Why SK Hynix (SKHX) rose 3.18% on October 2, 2026

SK Hynix (SKHX) rose 3.18% on October 2, 2026 — SK's $200B US investment plan lifts Korea Tech.

## What happened

SK Hynix (Korea-listed) climbed on the same Korea Tech rally tied to Trump's $200 billion South Korean investment announcement.

## Why it moved

Reduced geopolitical friction between the US and Korea supports SK Hynix's pricing power in DRAM and NAND, while the investment pledge reassures the market of stable US-Korea supply and customer relationships.

## Why it matters

Korea Tech momentum is underpinned by faith in a durable chip supercycle; the Trump commitment signals political backstopping for Korean memory and semiconductor capacity aimed at US demand.

## What would break the thesis

Execution risk on the investment and any reversal of US-Korea relations could quickly erase the sentiment boost.
