- SK Hynix surged 17% on its first day of US trading, marking the chipmaker's American stock-market debut
- US stocks rose slightly on Friday, with the moves setting up a week featuring inflation data and the start of earnings season for the biggest US banks
Why it matters: SK Hynix's 17% debut pop lands at a moment when traders are recalibrating AI-chip exposure ahead of fresh inflation prints and bank earnings, giving global investors direct access to a top memory-chip supplier whose prior $29.4 billion US listing plans signaled deep demand for AI-linked names.
