The chips are having a moment
South Korean chip stocks caught a bid after Micron waved a pretty friendly flag on AI demand. Translation: the market heard “more AI spending” and immediately started shopping for semis like it was the last day of a sale.

- memory suppliers
- AI hardware names
- semiconductor equipment plays
