US storage stocks fell sharply, with Micron Technology and SanDisk leading the decline.
On October 12, the US storage sector generally declined, with Micron Technology and SanDisk extending their pre-market losses to 4.8%, while Seagate Technology and Western Digital fell 1.6% and 2.4%, respectively. Hynix fell 3.9%. The stock prices of South Korea's two storage giants are under pressure, and a sharp sell-off by foreign investors is affecting market sentiment. Morgan Stanley points out that the memory chip industry is still in a traditional boom-bust cycle.
