South Korean chipmakers SK Hynix and Samsung extended gains following a local media report that Singapore’s Temasek Holdings Pte plans to invest in their stocks. The news boosted investor confidence in the semiconductor sector, with both companies seeing notable upward momentum in trading. The potential investment by Temasek is seen as a strategic move into South Korea’s tech-driven economy, highlighting growing interest in the region’s innovation hubs like Seoul.

Market analysts suggest the development could signal broader foreign capital inflows into Asian tech equities, with the Bloomberg Markets report adding further credibility to the trend. Investors are now watching for additional details on the proposed deal, which may influence future stock performance and regional market dynamics.
