On July 16, Micron Technology fell 3.14% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $874.14/share, with turnover of $147 million. The decline extends the severe sell-off that has gripped the storage chip sector throughout the week.
On the news front, the memory chip sector continued its sharp downturn, with Micron having plunged approximately 8%-10% in the prior session and SK Hynix ADR falling 9%. The recent launch of SK Hynix US-listed options and the rapid introduction of multiple single-stock leveraged ETFs have diverted speculative capital, intensifying fund reallocation pressure within the sector. Meanwhile, dual headwinds from supply expansion and demand specification downgrades are eroding market confidence in the sustainability of elevated memory pricing. Micron shares have now retreated over 30% from their high of $1,255, with broader semiconductor names also trading lower, including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing down 4.65% and AMD down 3.46%.
