What happened

Spot market momentum diverged this week. For DDR4 chips, with spot prices exceeding suppliers' official prices amid sluggish end-market demand, buyers generally believe prices have room for corrections, so they have taken a wait-and-see stance instead of chasing higher prices, which has also caused trading volumes to shrink significantly. The average spot price of the mainstream chips (i.e., DDR4 1Gx8 3200MT/s) slightly decreased by 0.09% from US$46.86 last week (October 28) to US$46.82 this week (November 3). Separately, for DDR5 chips, some buyers raised target procurement prices under delivery pressure, but high component costs have compressed buyers' profit margins, so the willingness to chase higher prices has been limited.
