🫢 DDR4 Memory Prices Surge Over 50%

In Q3, prices for DDR4 8Gb DRAM modules will rise over 50%, says DigiTimes. Spot prices for DDR4 16Gb sometimes exceed DDR5 with similar specs due to strong demand and limited supply.

Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix mostly stopped DDR4 production, focusing on DDR5 and AI memory. Samsung makes DDR4 in small batches, Micron runs limited output in Virginia, while Nanya and Winbond supply most DDR4 but still fall short.

Corporate SSDs with DRAM boost demand. DDR3 prices also rose, with gigabit costs now above DDR5. In early July, DDR4 4Gb costs $12.75, DDR5 16Gb $47.07, and DDR3 gigabit $3.19 versus DDR5’s $2.94.

💼 Why the monthly jobs report doesn't tell the full story

The monthly U.S. jobs report often moves markets within minutes. But the headline number doesn't always reflect the true health of the labor market.
A payroll "job" can be a full-time position, part-time work, or a temporary contract. The report counts jobs, not the quality, stability, or income they provide.
⠀
That means strong job growth doesn't necessarily mean workers are better off. More people may be taking multiple jobs, switching employers frequently, or relying on temporary work instead of permanent employment.
⠀
For investors, the takeaway is simple: the headline payroll figure is important, but understanding what kind of jobs are being created matters just as much.
