DRAM Spot Market:

In the spot market, the demand momentum has not been strong enough to push up prices further since the end of the Lunar New Year holiday. Hence, the overall transaction volume remains low. Demand is tepid for modules as buyers are relatively passive during the slow season. As for chips, their prices have been propped up by sporadic transactions. The average spot price of mainstream chips (i.e., DDR4 1Gx8 2666MT/s) dropped by 0.41% from US$1.950 last week to US$1.942 this week.

NAND Flash Spot Market:

The NAND Flash spot market continues with its sluggishness this week. Sellers, taking into account the extended days of sales, have been engaging in active quotations and offering room for bargaining to conclude transactions, while buyers, who have dissipated in rush orders, together with their sufficient inventory in handling corresponding demand, have been reluctant in undertaking the aforementioned offering. On the whole, NAND Flash spots are experiencing a confined extent of increment amidst sluggishness. 512Gb TLC wafer spots have risen by 4.28% this week, arriving at US$3.585.
