DRAM Spot MarketThanks to the strong growth in contract prices, spot prices have maintained a consecutive upward trend. In the meantime, suppliers and intermediaries holding inventory have shown a clear reluctance to sell, resulting in a rather tight overall trading volume. The price of mainstream DDR4 1Gx8 3200MT/s memory chips surged by 9.64% in the week from January 7 to January 13, climbing from US$25.407 on January 7 to US$27.857 on January 13.

NAND Spot MarketSpot market prices have edged further upward recently. Against the backdrop of currently elevated spot prices, weak demand for consumer products, and upcoming factory closures for the Spring Festival holiday, some buyers have adopted a wait-and-see approach. However, spot traders, buoyed by their optimistic outlook on future price trends, have refrained from cutting prices to rush shipments, resulting in lackluster trading volume across the market. The spot price of 512Gb TLC Wafer rose by 9.68% in the week from January 7 to January 12, reaching a unit price of US$15.052.
