What stands out

SK Hynix opened at $170 per share on Nasdaq, jumping about 14% as U.S. investors rushed to get a stake in South Korea’s second-most valuable, roughly trillion-dollar company. For Nasdaq, Inc., this debut is more than fireworks, it is a direct revenue and reputational win, boosting listings fees, trading volume, and international cachet. Investors who own exchange stocks should treat big cross-border listings as steady tailwinds for fee income and attention, not as cure-alls for broader market or rate-related weakness.
