SK Group's Listed Affiliates Account for 51.67% of Market Trading Volume on July 6, Driven by Hynix Rally

According to Korea Exchange data released on July 6, SK Group's 19 listed affiliates generated trading volume of 20.76 trillion Korean won on July 3, accounting for 51.67% of total corporate group trading volume—exceeding the combined share of all other conglomerates. This concentration is disproportionate to SK Group's market position; while it holds 35.39% of total market capitalization compared to Samsung's 39.94%, SK Group commands 51.67% of trading volume versus Samsung's 32.29%.

SK Hynix drove this concentration, capturing approximately 90% of SK Group's trading volume as brokerages raised price targets above 4 million Korean won amid AI semiconductor rally expectations. Single-stock leveraged ETFs amplified the trend; the KODEX SK Hynix Leverage product attracted 3.15 trillion Korean won in inflows over the past month, 2.5 times the Samsung Electronics equivalent.
