Interesting shortage mapping by Goldman Sachs
For bottleneck investors…
⸻
Where tightness is strongest
1. Memory
DRAM and NAND show the most extreme pricing power:
- DRAM: +250–300% like-for-like in 2026, +300–350% ASP including mix
- NAND: +200–250% like-for-like in 2026, +250–300% ASP including mix
Tightness continues into 2027, especially for DRAM
Main beneficiaries:
SK Hynix, Samsung, Micron, plus Kioxia/Western Digital for NAND
⸻
2. Substrates
ABF, PCB and CCL all show strong price increases and very tight supply/demand into 2027
Main beneficiaries:
Ibiden, Shinko, Unimicron, Nan Ya PCB, Kinsus, AT&S, Elite Material, ITEQ, TUC
Glass substrates are next, by the way
⸻
3. Optical cables and devices
Optical cables, optical devices and InP substrates all show tightness and positive pricing
Main beneficiaries:
Coherent, Lumentum, Fabrinet, Innolight, Eoptolink, Amphenol, TE Connectivity, AXT, Sumitomo Electric
The chart is more bullish for optical cables, optical devices and InP than for generic connectors
⸻
4. MLCCs
MLCCs are also moving into very tight conditions, with positive pricing into 2026 and 2027
Main beneficiaries:
Murata, TDK, Taiyo Yuden, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Yageo
⸻
5. Materials
T-glass, CCL copper foil, tantalum powder and silicon wafers show signs of tightening
Main beneficiaries:
Nitto Boseki, AGC, Mitsui Mining & Smelting, Shin-Etsu, SUMCO, GlobalWafers
Just putting it out there:
If everything crashes together from $NBIS, $MRVL, $INTC, $SNDK, $AMD, $SIVE, $MU, $LITE, and others...
Which are all down -4% to -10%+ today so far.
Probably doesn't have anything to do with individual fundamentals.
Indiscriminate selloffs from things like cascading margin liquidations, usually provide compelling opportunities if the underlying improves.
🚨A key liquidity indicator is flashing red for US stocks:
The G10 Excess Liquidity Leading Indicator, which measures real money growth relative to economic growth, has turned negative for the first time since the 2021 inflation shock.
This indicator has historically led the S&P 500 by ~6 months, meaning stocks could come under pressure over the next 6 months.
In general, excess liquidity turns negative when inflation and economic growth absorb money faster than it is being created, leaving less capital available to support risk assets.
Put simply, the real economy is now effectively extracting liquidity from financial markets rather than supplying it, a dynamic that has preceded major drawdowns in 2008 and 2022.
If the historical lead time holds, the window for market strength to continue is narrowing.
Will the indicator prove correct again?
올해 시장을 움직일 4가지 주요 테마 🚀
① 전력: AI 서버 전압이 800V에서 1500V로 상향됨에 따라, 고전압 부품(Power Rack, SiC/GaN) 수요가 폭증할 것 ⚡
② 광통신: 데이터 병목 해소를 위해 전기 신호 대신 빛을 사용하는 CPO(Co-packaged Optics) 기술이 1.6Tbps 시대를 주도할 것✨
③ 부품: AI 서버용 MLCC, 특수 유리 섬유(T-glass) 등 부품이 '26년부터 공급 부족에 직면할 것 ⚙️
④ 피지컬 AI: 산업용 AI(일본)와 자율주행/로봇(중국)으로 AI가 리얼 세계를 제어하기 시작 🤖
- 다른 섹터의 회복이 더딘 가운데, 올해도 기업 이익의 핵심 동력은 'AI 공급망'
- AI 테마는 더 넓고, 더 깊고, 더 확산되는 단계로 진입
- 밸류에이션 부담이 있지만, 이익 성장 속도가 이를 정당화할 것

🚨 Scott Bessent Just Signalled Bretton Woods 2.0 And Warns To Position Yourself For It
“The banking system created after WWII unleashed global prosperity. Why not recreate it now?”
He openly calls for “Rewiring the banking and financial system.”
Sounds familiar?
The architects are openly planning a new financial architecture. As The Great Taking shows, these resets reassign ownership. When they redesign the pipes, control of assets, collateral, and custody is on the table.
He also adds:
“Build your safety zone and secure direct ownership now, don’t wait to discover where you stand in their new system.“
Can someone remind me which DLT/Blockchain is creating an end-to-end financial stack - Payments, Treasury, Institutional-grade Custody, Brokerage, Repo Markets, Private Identity and Tokenization?
