Cook said in an exclusive interview with WSJ that the price hike was “unavoidable,” with the *direct reason being the skyrocketing cost of memory chips (DRAM/NAND) driven by AI*. - The market immediately repriced: the memory price increase is not a positive for SK Hynix/Micron (it is in the short term), but rather the logic of *” downstream demand being crushed by prices”* — Apple's price hike will suppress sales, AI capital expenditure is peaking, transmitting to the entire chip industry chain. - The semiconductor sector collectively fell in after-hours/night trading, with Nasdaq 100 futures also plunging.2️⃣ South Korea's KOSPI market circuit breaker triggered today (morning session -8%, the 5th circuit breaker this year) - Direct victims: Samsung Electronics -9%, SK Hynix -12%. - KOSPI is highly concentrated in the chip duopoly, with Samsung + SK Hynix accounting for ~30% of the index weight. Their crash = index circuit breaker. - Media headline keywords: *” SoftBank rout drags Asia down”*, *” new tech rout”*. SoftBank's holdings in Arm/AI concepts also plummeted, infecting the entire Asia-Pacific tech stock market.3️⃣ The underlying macro narrative (this is the real driver) - For the first time, a downstream player of Apple's caliber publicly acknowledged the chain: *AI capital expenditure → memory squeeze → terminal price hikes → demand destruction*. - The market is beginning to worry: has the 2024-2025 AI infrastructure narrative already entered the stage of ” profit squeezing downstream”? TSMC's earlier capex warning + Apple's current price hike = signals in the same direction. - Combined with the U.S. stock market's own high valuation (the semiconductor sector's PE is already at the historical 90%+ percentile), it crashes at the slightest disturbance.—【Impact on You】 - If your U.S. stock holdings include names like NVDA/AMD/MU/AVGO, sentiment is bearish before tonight's U.S. market open. I will verify again pre-market and issue defensive alerts. - Hong Kong stocks like Alibaba and Tencent have already fallen today (Asia tech stocks broadly declined). Be cautious about sentiment before tonight's Hong Kong market open.- *Risk level raised to ” High”*: The first crack has appeared in the macro-level AI narrative. It is recommended to reduce tech stock positions (unless your stop-loss is already set)." datetime: "2026-06-26T06:51:19.000Z" locales: - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/topics/42230057.md) - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/topics/42230057.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/42230057.md) author: "[葛优躺](https://longbridge.com/en/profiles/11169556.md)" --- # $Intel(INTC.US)⚕ $Arm(ARM.US)$Micron Tech(MU.US)──… ### Related Stocks - [07709.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07709.HK.md) - [SSNGY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SSNGY.US.md) - [COOK.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/COOK.US.md) - [AAPL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPL.US.md) - [603020.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/603020.CN.md) - [INTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INTC.US.md) - [ARM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ARM.US.md) - [MU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MU.US.md) - [.NDX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.NDX.US.md) - [9984.JP](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/9984.JP.md) - [SFTBY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SFTBY.US.md) - [TSM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSM.US.md) - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [AMD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMD.US.md) - [AVGO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AVGO.US.md) - [BABA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BABA.US.md) - [09988.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09988.HK.md) - [00700.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/00700.HK.md) - [TCEHY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TCEHY.US.md) - [NVD.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.DE.md) - [89988.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/89988.HK.md) - [HBBD.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HBBD.SG.md) - [80700.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/80700.HK.md) - [HTCD.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HTCD.SG.md) - [TCTZF.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TCTZF.US.md) ## Comments (2) - **新用户_Xyj64n · 2026-06-26T06:57:20.000Z**: Didn't U.S. stocks already fall yesterday? It was because APPLE raised its prices. - **Investor** (2026-06-26T07:07:34.000Z): Black Friday continues to fall tonight.
