Samsung Electronics and its South Korean labour union are set to join a new round of government-mediated pay talks on Monday, in a bid to avert a strike at the tech giant, which accounts for nearly a quarter of the country's exports.

Investing.com -- South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi will hold a high-profile bilateral summit on Tuesday, according to an official announcement from the South Korean presidential Blue House on Sunday.
South Korea will pursue all options, including emergency arbitration, to avoid a labour strike at the country's biggest employer Samsung Electronics and to minimise any damage if one does occur, its prime minister said on Sunday. The world's largest memory chip maker and its South Korean labour union will resume pay talks on Monday with a government mediator, in a move that could ease concerns over a potentially disruptive strike at the tech giant that accounts for nearly a quarter of the country's exports. "Just one day of suspension at Samsung Electronics' semiconductor factory is expected to incur direct losses of as much as 1 trillion won ($667.68 million)," Prime Minister Kim Min-seok said after an emergency meeting with ministers on Sunday.
Investors already factor in cyclicality in the chip industry. The bad news is that they’ve frequently gotten their assessments wrong.

The market’s appetite for memory chip makers is feverish, but this subset of the semiconductor industry might be looking a bit too hot. Memory companies have been the latest beneficiaries of the artificial-intelligence investing craze, a boom that has lifted the entire semiconductor sector.

Micron (NASDAQ:MU) is the memory stock dominating every AI headline this quarter, with traders glued to high-bandwidth memory pricing and the next supply-cycle data point. But here is what you should actually be watching. Memory has always been a commodity-cyclical business. The pricing leverage powering Micron’s current run can reverse on a single Samsung or ...
