TrendForce's latest research says structural supply tightening in mature-node DRAM is forcing consumer DRAM buyers to shift to older-generation chips to secure allocations, triggering a fresh wave of legacy consumer DRAM procurement. That dynamic is expected to extend the Q1 2026 price rally for DDR2 and DDR3. TrendForce forecasts DDR2 contract prices to rise about 55–60 pct in Q2 2026 and a further 35–40 pct in Q3 2026.

The Guardian reports British Prime Minister Starmer is expected to announce a timetable for his departure on the morning of the 22nd (local time), a move that would smooth the way for Andy Burnham to become prime minister without a formal leadership contest before autumn. Cabinet ministers say Starmer will make the announcement outside 10 Downing Street; No.10 insists he still stands by his commitment made on the 19th to contest any challenge. More than six cabinet ministers have privately told Starmer his premiership is over, and he spent the weekend at Chequers finalising potential exit plans, the paper said.
