Nvidia seals a multi-year memory chip deal with SK Hynix. But South Korean chip stocks are sinking

Nvidia has entered into a multi-year agreement with SK Hynix, a major South Korean semiconductor manufacturer, to supply memory chips. However, despite this significant business development, SK Hynix's stock price fell by 7.7% on Monday. The decline in stock value coincided with strong U.S. jobs data, which increased expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike. This expectation typically leads to higher interest rates, which can negatively impact stock markets, particularly those of companies reliant on global economic conditions. The situation highlights the complex interplay between corporate partnerships and broader macroeconomic factors influencing financial markets.
