[SMM Tin Express: DRAM Sellers Hoard Inventory, NAND Spot Prices Rise but Trading Volume Remains Low]
iconJan 15, 2026 09:09
DRAM spot prices continued to climb, with trading volume remaining constrained as suppliers and traders were reluctant to release inventory. The average price of mainstream DDR4 1Gx8 3200MT/s chips rose by 9.64%. In the NAND flash segment, spot prices have been rising steadily in the recent period. However, trading activity remained sluggish due to a combination of factors: a sharp increase in spot prices, weak consumer product demand, and the expected shutdown of factories during the Chinese New Year. Although some buyers adopted a wait-and-see approach, spot traders, optimistic about future price trends, refused to lower prices to stimulate sales. This deadlock led to continued weakness in the spot market. This week, the average spot price of 512Gb TLC wafers increased by 9.68% to $15.052.
