Chip Party Must Go On: SK Hynix To Raise $29 Billion In US Listing
About two days after a Chosun media report from South Korea sparked a global sell-off in memory stocks and triggered a 10% crash in the Kospi, a new report states that memory giant SK Hynix is planning a massive $29.4 billion US listing. This move will test investor appetite for another mega AI-linked offering and demonstrate whether markets can absorb another massive listing weeks after the SpaceX IPO.
Bloomberg reports the offering would be the largest U.S. listing by a Korean firm and the biggest ever via American Depositary Receipts, easily exceeding Alibaba's $25 billion 2014 debut.
The offering is being led by Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan. SK Hynix is at the center of the AI infrastructure buildout, serving as one of the top suppliers of high-bandwidth memory chips used in AI chip stacks at data centers.
The listing gives SK Hynix access to a much broader and more liquid US investor base, which...

Mamdani-endorsed former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander defeated Rep. Dan Goldman, whose seat spans lower Manhattan and part of Brooklyn.
In the race to succeed retiring Rep. Nydia Velazquez, Mamdani-endorsed Assemblymember Claire Valdez, a self-described democratic socialist, beat Brooklyn Boroug...

Bankers working for JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong must have been miffed when they were shut off from using artificial intelligence (AI) models from Anthropic, a pioneering American firm in the field.
Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase pulled the plug in April and last week respectively, based on a strict interpretation of Anthropic's terms of use, which reflect Washington's stringent restrictions on China's access to frontier American AI models.

Ras Laffan Explosion Threatens To Slow Qatar LNG Ramp, Goldman Says
A powerful explosion tore through Qatar's key natural gas plant late Sunday, killing at least 13 people and injuring 66 others. While the incident does not appear to have directly impaired LNG export capacity, it has certaintly raised the risk that Qatar may slow the restart of operations as a precaution.
The timing could not be worse. The blast at Qatar's giant Ras Laffan energy complex comes just a week or so after the US-Iran interim peace deal was signed and days after the Strait of Hormuz was reopened.
Latest maritime ship tracking data shows a notable uptick in transits of tankers and cargo vessels on the critical waterway.
Goldman Sachs energy expert Samantha Dart penned a note on Monday detailing how the explosion at Qatar's Barzan gas plant in Ras Laffan does not appear to have directly affected the country's LNG export capacity, but it has raised questions over whether Qatar Energy may slow the restart of export ...
