According to CoinMeta, and as reported by Yonhap News, Samsung Electronics rose 4.74% today to close at 198,900 Korean won SK, while Hynix rose 6.69% to close at 1,212,000 Korean won. Both stocks have seen consecutive second-day gains, with cumulative increases of 5.40% and 7.06% so far this week. The combined market value of the two companies has returned above 2000 trillion Korean won for the first time in three trading days. The market believes that the overall rise in the U.S. New York stock market, which was dominated by technology stocks overnight, coupled with a significant drop in international oil prices, has helped to boost investor sentiment.
