On August 26th, according to South Koreas *Chosun Ilbo*, South Korean DRAM export prices continue to soar, with AI-driven HBM production squeezing the supply of conventional memory. Data shows that from August 1st to 20th, the export price of South Korean DRAM reached $92,183 per kilogram, a 401% year-on-year increase and approximately 12.5 times higher than the low point in January 2023. Goldman Sachs predicts that the DRAM supply gap will widen from 5.0% this year to 5.9% next year, and believes that "HBM required for AI servers and high-capacity server DRAM are absorbing limited production capacity, leading to a further tightening of conventional DRAM supply." TrendForce predicts that by the end of next year, Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron will account for 30% of total DRAM wafer input for HBM production, but HBM will only account for about 13% of actual DRAM bit supply. Memory manufacturers warn that the AI-driven DRAM and NAND supply shortage may continue beyond 2027. SK Hynix stated that from a supply perspective, 2027 could become "the most severe shortage year in the history of the memory industry." Goldman Sachs predicts that the supply shortage may continue until 2028.August 26th - According to Spanish government sources, the Spanish government plans to introduce stricter regulations on water, energy, and cybersecurity due to the surge in data center projects within the country. These new requirements have been incorporated into a draft decree, which will be open for public comment this week. Thanks to abundant renewable energy resources and vast tracts of open land, Spain has become one of Europes hottest hubs, attracting billions of euros worth of AI infrastructure-related projects. Sources indicate that the large number of projects allows Spain to select the most efficient and sustainable facilities in terms of sustainability and cybersecurity, which is the target of the upcoming regulations. According to the draft decree, data center operators must be established within the EU, and the data and metadata they process must remain within the EU. Mechanisms must be established to control access from third countries; stricter regulations will be implemented for data centers handling public data or data involving national security.Federal Reserve Bank of Barkin: If debt continues to increase, investors will eventually stop buying (US Treasuries) at some point.Federal Reserve Chairman Barkin: The U.S. debt problem will eventually face a reckoning.Sources say air raid sirens have been sounded in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Analysis of the NZD/USD Price indicates a continuation of gains towards 0.65

The NZD/USD pair is oscillating within a narrow range near 0.6430 in the early Asian session. Despite the market's risk aversion, the New Zealand dollar has traded sideways after reclaiming the monthly high of 0.6437. In reaction to Tom Barkin's hawkish comments about the Richmond Federal Reserve (Fed) Bank, S&P500 futures are exhibiting greater losses, indicating investors' diminishing appetite for risk.

 

Following a V-shaped recovery, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has turned sideways at 102,000 and is expected to extend gains on a risk aversion theme. In addition, higher 10-year US Treasury yields would certainly provide safe-haven investments a new lease of life.

 

After one hour of consolidation, the NZD/USD pair has broken out of the Bullish Pennant chart pattern, indicating that the rising trend will continue. Participants typically initiate long positions during the consolidation period of a chart pattern, preferring to enter an auction once a bullish bias has been established.

 

Adding to the upward filters, the 20-period and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) have resumed their upward trend at 0.6415 and 0.6401, respectively.

 

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (14) continues to struggle to enter the positive zone between 60.00 and 80.00. The occurrence of a similar event will produce bullish momentum.

 

For greater gains, the Kiwi asset must beat Tuesday's high of 0.6439, which will rocket it to December 15's high of 0.6470, then December 13's high of 0.6514.

 

Alternately, a breach below Monday's low of 0.6361 will weaken the New Zealand Dollar and push the Kiwi asset towards January 12's low of 0.6304. A breach below this level will expose the asset to more losses approaching the low of 0.6263 on December 28.
