What stands out

A Reuters clip showing SK Hynix tumbling more than 15% after its Nasdaq debut is a reminder that listings are headline events for exchanges as well as issuers. When Seoul investors cashed out of a scorching rally, the story stopped being just about chipmakers and started being about liquidity, order flow, and how exchange revenues can flicker with hot money. For Nasdaq, big cross-border listings bring volume and fees and also a traffic jam of volatility that can shape investor sentiment.
