AI Boom Pushes German DDR5 RAM Prices Toward Fivefold Spike

DDR5 RAM prices in Germany rose sharply in August to about 4.9× July 2025 levels, driven by AI demand and trends dubbed the 'RAMpocalypse.' Data from 3D Center via Geizhals show the price index jumping from 445% to 486% year over year, with most high‑capacity kits (64GB/48GB/32GB) posting double‑digit increases and many still 400%+ above last July.

Inflation Reports Released: Fed on Alert as Soft Commodity Prices Surge

Two new inflation measures, the PCE price index excluding food, energy, and housing, and PCE services excluding energy and housing, indicate a continuing disinflation trend. The Federal Reserve is closely monitoring these core measures of inflation, which are considered better predictors of future inflation than headline measures. In the second quarter, the PCE price index excluding food, energy, and housing slowed to a 3% rate, while PCE services excluding energy and housing slowed to a 3.5% rate. Chair Jerome Powell highlighted significant declines in core inflation, particularly in the goods sector, housing services, and non-housing services. The broader core PCE price index for the second quarter remained unchanged at 3.7%.
