DRAM Spot Price:

This week, the DRAM spot market continues to exhibit a bullish atmosphere. Sellers, anticipating further price hikes, are reluctant to sell, which has led to significant price consolidation at high levels. Buyers are actively stocking up, but limited supply has created a situation where prices are rising while transaction volumes are shrinking. Spot quotes are steadily rising for mainstream chips such as DDR5 16Gb, DDR4 8Gb, DDR3, and eTT products. This reflects continued market confidence in future price hikes. As for the average spot price of mainstream chips (e.g., DDR4 1Gx8 3200MT/s), it has risen by 5.40% from US$6.033 last week to US$ 6.359 this week.

NAND Flash Spot Price:

Optimistic sentiment emerges in advance from the spot market under the expectation of rising contract prices, where both price inquiries and transactions have become aggressive, and some of the spot traders are now reluctant in sales due to the promising market outlook. This further ascended prices on a continual basis. Spot prices of 512Gb TLC wafers rose by 5.44% this week, arriving at US$3.121.
