  "account": "SK Hynix's stock price surged 5.6% on Friday, reaching ₩1,843,000, as the company explored manufacturing memory chips in the United States for the first time in exploratory talks with Intel. The strategic discussions, centered around leasing capacity at Intel's Ohio semiconductor facility or forming a joint venture with cloud providers, reflected growing pressure on chipmakers to expand domestic production due to the surging demand for high-bandwidth memory in AI data centers. A Reuters report highlighted these talks, which have benefited global technology stocks by recovering from recent declines. Investors were favorably viewing the potential move, aligning with Washington's efforts to reinforce U.S. chip production amid a severe AI-driven chip shortage. The broader macro environment also contributed to the positive market sentiment, with Asian technology and semiconductor stocks, including Samsung Electronics, posting gains due to a rise in U.S. 10-year Treasury yields and a drop in oil prices.",
