TradingKey - On November 12, the three major U.S. stock indices closed slightly lower. Nvidia announced the immediate resignation of Jensen Huang as CEO and director, which at one point dragged tech stocks sharply lower intraday; however, strength in AMD and Broadcom, fueled by market expectations that AI chip demand could spill over to competitors, alleviated some of the selling pressure. Meanwhile, surging oil prices pushed the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield above 5.1%, also capping risk appetite.

South Korean stocks rallied nearly 3%, with Samsung surging 3.37%, SK Hynix gaining 4.55%, and Kioxia soaring over 5%.
