SK Hynix ADR, SKHY, closed 130.17, -8.98% on its thirteenth trading day.  IPO was at 149.  SK Hynix is a profitable company with over $65 billion in revenues (larger than SPCX) and $28 billion in annual profit.  The ADR is speculative because as a new IPO it does not have a track record to evaluate. 

News on Tuesday about China’s development of DUV technology contributed to a decline in semiconductor stocks.  BofA issued a note that it believes the ASML price decline was overdone.  Our research suggests that China’s DUV technology capacity through 2027 would likely only be equivalent to about 20% of ASML’s expected production.

SpaceX, SPCX, closed at 116.41, +2.56% formed a bullish engulfing candle today.  Our view is that SPCX, with no earnings, is an overvalued speculation.  IPO at 135 on June 12. 

SPY +0.24%, below average volume of 46.9 million shares.
VIX -0.46, 18.21,
NDX -0.98% formed a hammer candle below its June 9 support low and its 8-week sideways consolidation.
