*ST美芝盘中跌停，上演“天地板”，成交额超3亿元。

Compute-driven demand has pushed electronic fabric prices sharply higher: common specifications have undergone five price increases so far this year, lifting the average to 7.4 yuan/m, about 100% above last year’s Q3 low. An unnamed listed electronic-fabric maker confirmed five hikes, saying prices are reviewed at month-end and adjusted for the following month, with each increase around 10%. A senior executive at a leading producer said the uptrend began last year but has accelerated this year. Producers say capacity expansion is constrained by high equipment and process-control requirements, and by conversion of standard lines to AI-specialty electronic fabric, which has reduced supply of ordinary grades.
