SRAM remains popular despite the higher cost compared to DRAM as companies justify the increase in processing speed. The cost delta of 5-10X over DRAM is worth it for many, as SRAM is finding wide adoption in embedded sytsems. Buyers on Supplyframe properties are showing a high degree of interest, which could result in future shortages..

Chinese memory producer YMTC is raising its 3D NAND pricing by upwards of 5%, with market leaders Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix expected to follow suit. Firmer memory pricing pricing is here. Memory makers (and Supplyframe as forecasted in early Q1) believe pricing has reached its floor.

At-volume resistor prices are forecast to grow in H2 and market prices where up 8% in Q1 as manufacturers try to counter dynamic raw and precious metal costs. Despite a supply deficit, copper prices have slid 16% year-to-date. Buyers should resist higher costs on resistors as a result.
