Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Dell Raise Prices; IDC Warns Global Memory Shortage May Last Until 2027

Odaily News: The rapid growth in AI computing power demand has driven up memory chip prices significantly, with upstream price pressures transmitting to downstream terminal devices. Recently, Amazon has raised prices on several hardware products. Among them, the entry-level Echo smart speaker, which has the highest sales volume, saw the largest increase, rising from $49.99 to $79.99 (approximately RMB 538), an increase of about 60%. The 16GB basic version of the e-book reader rose from $109.99 to $149.99 (approximately RMB 1,000), an increase of about 36%.

Prior to Amazon's price hikes, tech companies such as Apple, Microsoft, and Dell had already responded to cost pressures by raising product prices and reducing standard memory configurations. Market research firm IDC had previously warned that the global memory shortage could last until 2027, and industry forecasts suggest that memory chip prices may peak in 2028 before gradually stabilizing.

The night before Jackson Hole, the "inflation thunder" will be revealed! July core PCE may rise to 3.3%, and expectations for interest rate hikes in September are heating up

At 20:30 Beijing time tonight, the U.S. Department of Commerce will release the July Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index. The market expects the overall PCE in July to rise by 0.1% month-on-month, with the year-on-year growth rate falling from 3.7% in June to 3.6%; the core PCE month-on-month may rise from 0.1% to 0.2%, while the year-on-year remains at 3.3%, marking the 65th consecutive month above the Federal Reserve's 2% inflation target.It is noteworthy that rising prices in the AI industry chain, high valuations in the stock market driving up portfolio management fees, and the situation in the Middle East leading to increased energy costs may all become potential drivers of core inflation. Goldman Sachs predicts that stock market valuation factors may contribute approximately 0.11 percentage points to the month-on-month increase in core PCE in July.What draws more market attention is that the Bureau of Economic Analysis plans to comprehensively adjust the PCE statistical methods by the end of September, which may lead to adjustments in the price calculations for categories such as computer hardware, stock portfolio management, and legal services, and may also retroactively revise historical data, increasing the difficulty of interpreting inflation data.Currently, the market's divergence regarding the Federal Reserve's policy path in September has intensified. The CME "FedWatch" shows that the probability of the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates unchanged in September is 59.9%, while the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike has risen to 40.1%. The market is also waiting for this week's Jackson Hole annual meeting to seek the latest signals from Fed Chair Powell regarding inflation and subsequent interest rate policies.

Morgan Stanley: AI computing power $3.1 trillion off-balance-sheet commitments emerge, financing structure becomes a new variable in the supply chain

According to Chao Xiang Research, a Morgan Stanley report points out that the total off-balance-sheet commitments disclosed by hyperscale vendors, Nvidia, and Broadcom have exceeded $3.1 trillion. Among them, lease commitments amount to $1.1 trillion, procurement commitments to $1.7 trillion, and the total on-balance-sheet debt and lease liabilities of hyperscale vendors is $770 billion.Amazon and Google's free cash flow turned negative in the second quarter of 2026, and Meta is expected to follow suit next quarter. Financing tools are restructuring the capital structure of AI computing power from six aspects: off-balance-sheet lease and procurement commitments constitute the first layer of financing, the proportion of debt issuance rises from 2% in 2025 to 19% in 2026, Google frees up $110 billion by cutting buybacks and issuing equity, Oracle's customer prepayments in the second quarter amount to $4.6 billion, and Broadcom and Nvidia launched a chip leasing SPV to support unrated AI labs.Morgan Stanley believes that as the financing structure itself becomes a core variable of the AI supply chain, the importance of tracking off-balance-sheet commitments and changes in accounting judgments is approaching that of tracking chip shipments themselves.
