SK Hynix Margin Lending Surges 9 Trillion Won in One Month as Foreign Investors Short-Sell

GateNews
Stocks
According to South Korean financial authorities, over the past month through July 7, individual retail investors increased margin purchases of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix by a combined 2.5 trillion won, while foreign investors dominated short-selling activity. Foreign investors' short-sale transactions reached 1.9 trillion won on a single day, dwarfing retail traders' 120 billion won and institutions' 350 billion won. SK Hynix's lending balance surged 9 trillion won to 30.5 trillion won, rising from second to first place among tracked securities, while the combined lending balance for both chipmakers hit 55.5 trillion won. The divergence reflects opposing market views: retail investors bet on a rise driven by AI semiconductor demand expectations, while foreign investors expanded short positions and hedging strategies.
