Samsung Electronics Co. ’s top management made a rare visit to leaders of the company’s largest labor union late Friday in an effort to revive stalled wage negotiations after government-mediated talks collapsed earlier this week. Samsung shares fell 8.6% in Seoul trading Friday, underscoring mounting investor concerns over a strike that could disrupt operations at the world’s largest memory chipmaker. The union has threatened an 18-day walkout beginning May 21 if its demands are not met. Chief Executive Officer Jun Young-hyun , who heads Samsung’s semiconductor business, along with three other senior executives, visited the union’s office in the southern South Korean city of Pyeongtaek, home to Samsung’s sprawling semiconductor manufacturing complex, according to the union. “We will view the labor union as one family and a community of shared destiny and approach dialogue with an unconditionally open attitude,” Samsung said in a statement Friday. “We earnestly urge that the union comes forward to engage in dialogue without delay, mindful of public concerns and the national economy.” Read More: Samsung Offers Unconditional Talks, Urges Union to Join Dialogue Kim Young-hoon, Korea’s employment and labor minister, also met union’s leaders in Pyeongtaek. During the meeting, the union requested that Samsung appoint new management representatives for any future negotiations, according to a separate union statement. The outreach came days after marathon tripartite wage talks involving the government, Samsung and the union broke down without an agreement. That has fueled fears of labor disruptions at a critical moment for the company’s booming chip business that accounted for more than 90% of its total operating profit in the first quarter. Late Friday, Samsung conveyed its willingness to resume negotiations, while union leaders responded that talks could continue if management presents proposals addressing the union’s core demands. The union has been pushing Samsung to exp...

laddawan punna/iStock via Getty Images Market Review The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) kept rates on hold after three consecutive cuts in 2025. After the Iran war began, the FOMC revised its year-end median forecasts for headline and core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation higher to reflect the impact of the global oil price shock. Chair Powell stated it is “standard learning that you look through energy shocks –dependent on inflation expectations being well anchored,” with the committee’s “dot plot” continuing to reflect one rate cut in 2025. Initially, this was in line with market expectations. However, the conflict escalated with disruptions to shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, which impacted ~20% of global oil supplies. By the end of the quarter, markets moved to price only 62% chance of a rate cut by July 2027. We expect the Federal Reserve to “look through” energy price inflation as long as second round inflation impacts are contained and long-term inflation expectations remain anchored.
