- Shares in Nvidia's chip supplier SK Hynix 000660.KS rallied more than 7% to a record high on Monday, after U.S. chipmaker Intel's earnings results rekindled expectations of artificial intelligence demand.

The South Korean company outperformed its rival Samsung Electronics 000660.KS, whose shares rose 2.5% as it braces for a potential strike by unionised workers in South Korea in May.
