A series of chip price hikes in the 7th quarter revealed abnormal market ups and downs. Now that the China Development and Reform Commission has paid unusual attention to the price increase of chips, it will in-depth investigate whether there is potential price manipulation. The reporter cited the China Daily on Wednesday that Chinese economic regulators are closely watching the recent surge in the price of mobile phone memory chips, or will investigate possible company price manipulation. The report quoted an official from the China National Development and Reform Commission’s Price Supervision Bureau as saying that chip prices have risen sharply in the past 18 months and the NDRC has remained vigilant. "We have noticed that the price soaring situation will pay more attention to the industry's future problems caused by 'price manipulation'," the report quoted Xu Xingyu, the price supervision bureau official as saying. According to the report, Xu Xinyu stated that there may be multiple companies acting together to try to push up the price of chips and maximize profit. The "super cycle" of the memory chip industry caused by the tight supply and the surge in demand has pushed up the price and profit of chip makers such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.
