Samsung Averts Massive Strike
A major factor in the sector’s shift comes from overseas. According to recent market updates, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (OTC:SSNLF) averted a worker strike.
Earlier in the week, fears of a strike that could potentially reduce global memory output had propped up prices. The resolution led investors to pare gains in U.S. memory peers like Micron on Friday.
