Shares of South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix soared over 250% in 2025, pushing its market value above $1 trillion for the first time, fueled by strong demand for AI chips. U.S. chipmaker Micron also saw a significant rally after UBS tripled its price target, reflecting the broader tech sector's growth driven by AI. Meanwhile, China's industrial profits rose nearly 25% in April, led by computing and electronics manufacturing, while European firms remain committed to Chinese supply chains despite geopolitical risks. The European Central Bank affirmed its commitment to controlling inflation, and corporate news included Ferrari's shares falling after a lukewarm reception to its new electric vehicle and BP's chairman stepping down amid conduct issues. Global markets remain cautious amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions.
