005930, -1.95%

SK Hynix Inc.

000660, -3.30%

and Micron Technology Inc., based in the United States

MU, -6.62%

The investigation follows a lawsuit filed by the United States in April, alleging that the three chip makers have been listening to raise prices for DRAM. The three companies refused to comment to the FT.
