SK Hynix plunged about 10% in Seoul on Monday, dragging the KOSPI, after the memory-chip maker rose 13% in its US trading debut last Friday. A Seoul active-equity manager said the New York gains appear priced in, leaving the stock exposed to large intraday profit-taking and arbitrage unwinds. The $26.5bn US offering — viewed as a barometer of overseas financing demand and the durability of the AI rally — was over 7x oversubscribed despite concerns about elevated AI valuations and capex. SK Hynix is a major supplier of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for NVIDIA.

Iraq’s prime minister will visit Washington on Monday to deepen strategic ties and is expected to sign oil and gas agreements as part of broader economic, trade and investment cooperation. Government spokesman Hader Abadi said the deals will include multiple MOUs and Baghdad is preparing to bring in several US companies to boost oil production capacity. Iraq’s state news agency quoted Abadi saying the agreements will seek alternative export routes to reduce Iraq’s exposure to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Amid heightened US‑Iran military tensions, Iraq is seeking to balance ties with Tehran and Washington; strengthening Iraqi armed forces will also be discussed in Washington.
