INTC.TO is trading at CA$57.19 (+5.17%), lifted primarily by reports that SK Hynix and Intel are exploring U.S. memory-chip manufacturing arrangements, potentially involving Intel’s Ohio facility.

  • Intel gained roughly 5% premarket; SK Hynix later said no plans had been finalized.
  • Broader technology sentiment is modestly positive, but elevated Treasury yields and uncertainty ahead of the Federal Reserve decision are limiting the sector-wide lift.
  • The move appears predominantly semiconductor-specific rather than purely macro-driven.
