DRAM Spot Price:

This week, the DRAM spot market saw overall trading conditions improve following holidays in certain regions. Buyers’ purchasing attitudes have become more proactive, with demand concentrated on DRAM suppliers’ DDR4 512×16 and 1Gx16 chips. Willingness to follow through with actual purchases increased, while sellers became more reluctant to sell and raised their asking prices. The mainstream chip DDR4 1Gx8 3200MT/s increased 0.94% in price this week (rising from US$32.0 to US$32.3).

NAND Flash Spot Price:

The spot market carries on from last week’s lethargic sentiment, where differences in expectation continue to widen between market buyers and sellers. Some of the sellers are exhibiting flexibility towards selling at lower prices; however, with buyers generally adopting a wait-and-see attitude, the market is currently only supported by sporadic urgent orders, lacking large-scale replenishment momentum, which will cause spot prices to remain in a slight consolidation. Spot prices of 512Gb TLC rose by 0.34% this week, arriving at US$20.541.
