DRAM is trading 3.7% up today as AI data-center demand continues to outpace available memory production.

  • HBM4 shipments and long-term agreements with major technology companies are lifting HBM and conventional DRAM prices, while manufacturers prioritize higher-margin HBM capacity.
  • Industry data showed HBM export prices exceeding $70 and conventional DRAM prices rising sharply, reinforcing the sector-wide supply squeeze.
  • Broader markets are nearly flat. The September 4 jobs report and rate expectations may influence intraday volatility, but are not the strongest explanation.
