INTC ~+5%: SK Hynix talks on U.S. memory / Ohio foundry — tape vs. “exploratory”

[LondonNewsTrader]

Single-name foundry catalyst into Fed day.

Reuters/CNBC: SK Hynix in talks with Intel on U.S. memory manufacturing — scenarios include leasing space at Intel’s Ohio fab or a JV with cloud partners. SK Hynix said options are exploratory; no specific plans finalized. INTC bid ~+5% on the report; Hynix ADRs firmer.

Why it matters for scalpers: this is narrative flow on foundry credibility (Lip-Bu Tan priority), not a signed contract. Gap/continuation depends on whether the headline still has fresh buyers after the open rush — and whether Korea tech-sensitivity chatter caps the dream.

Keep it event-tape: levels from the headline spike, not a multi-year thesis in one click.

Anyone trading INTC only on the open drive, or holding through FOMC noise?
What’s the invalidation — giveback of the premarket high, or VWAP fail?
