Movement Alert|SK hynix Falls 3.12% in Regular Trading, Rising Treasury Yields and Bull-Bear Divergence Weigh on Storage Sector

Market Focus
Sep 23

On September 23, SK hynix fell 3.12% in regular trading, trading at $188.382/share, with turnover of $844 million. The decline came amid a broad selloff in semiconductor and storage stocks as macro headwinds intensified.

Multiple factors converged to pressure the stock. U.S. 2-year Treasury yields surged to 4.79%, hitting a new year-to-date high, while CME FedWatch data showed the probability of an October rate hike rising to 54.2%, dampening risk appetite across high-growth sectors. The broader semiconductor sector fell in tandem, with Intel down 2.91%, Broadcom down 2.21%, and AMD down 2.02%.

Adding to the bearish tone, renowned investor Michael Burry publicly disclosed increased short positions against storage chipmaker Micron, warning that a cycle reversal driven by DRAM capacity normalization would trigger violent selling across the sector. This clashed directly with Goldman Sachs reaffirming its Buy rating on SK hynix the same day, citing solid HBM fundamentals. The stark bull-bear divergence amplified volatility and weighed on sentiment across the storage complex, with Micron also declining 1.3%.
