TOP 3 Major News

The price of "Rice of the Electronics Industry" has risen by up to 10 times, and the spot high-capacity MLCC products have been hyped to 2 to 10 times their original price

MLCC (Multi-layer Ceramic Capacitor) is referred to as "Rice of the Electronics Industry" in the industry. It is an indispensable component for almost all electronic devices, ranging from small products such as mobile phones and household appliances to large equipment including AI servers and new energy vehicles. The component market has shown an extremely divergent trend recently: the AI boom has led to severe shortages and sharp price hikes of high-capacity MLCC models, with the price of some spot products soaring several times; while ordinary consumer-grade products have seen their prices peak and then fall back. Behind this stark contrast between hot and cold market segments is the driving force of the AI computing power wave. The market trend began to ferment at the end of May. The news of explosive growth in AI computing power demand spread to the component market, major overseas manufacturers transferred a large amount of their consumer-grade production capacity to high-end AI products, the market worried that the supply of conventional materials would tighten, and distributors rushed to stock up and snap up goods. Entering June, the spot market entered a red-hot state where "prices change once a day, or even once an hour". The price of some popular models increased by 7 to 8 times in just one month, and the highest spot price was hyped to 2 to 10 times the original price. (CLS)

Semaglutide Has Become a Hard-Hit Area for "Deteriorated Re-circulated Drugs"

Recently, the Guangzhou medical insurance department, leveraging big data early warning of drug traceability codes, joined forces with the public security organ to bust a criminal gang that illegally purchases and sells "re-circulated drugs". "Re-circulated drugs" refer to the drugs prescribed via medical insurance reimbursement, which are illegally resold after being recycled by drug traffickers at low prices. Law enforcement officers found that the drugs that are supposed to be stored under cold chain conditions were kept in sweltering and humid warehouses at a temperature of over 30 degrees Celsius. When delivering the drugs, the suspects used foam boxes, aluminum foil paper and other materials to fake cold chain preservation, covering up the fact that the drugs had been out of the cold chain and might even have deteriorated. In this series of cases, the drug with the largest involved amount is semaglutide. At present, the police have seized multiple storage dens and impounded more than 8,000 boxes of drugs involved in the case. (Cailian Press)

UBS: Global AI sector capital expenditure will rise to US$1.4 trillion in 2027, with 90% of the increment coming from memory price increases

UBS currently predicts that artificial intelligence capital expenditure will approach US$1 trillion in 2026, and further rise to about US$1.4 trillion in 2027, and the core driver behind this growth is the sharp rise in memory costs. UBS estimates that memory-related expenditure will surge from US$71 billion in 2025 to US$367 billion this year, and reach US$923 billion in 2027. The remaining AI-related costs are expected to reach US$631 billion in 2026 and fall back to US$525 billion in 2027. This means that the rise in memory costs this year contributes about 60% of the increment in AI capital expenditure; by 2027, as spending on other components declines, the increase in memory costs will even exceed the total net increment of AI capital expenditure.
