Until it ends I'd think 😬

I wonder when china will cower and buy more Australian coal :popcorn: But factories in guangdong starving for power is a disaster heading into winter.
There is some kind of big bubble inflating, with energy, commodities and shipping costs.

My friend was saying scrap prices were way down, even on copper despite prices of new materials being way up. That was around 6 months ago though so I don't know if it's still the case.

My company recently started preparing for another wave of price increases in 2022, after we got projections from our component suppliers (NXP, ST, Cypress,... basically all of them)

It's also probably that manufacturers will try to keep the chip shortage going as long as they can, in a sort of unspoken price fixing scheme.
No one is in a hurry to lower prices back to normal levels, increase volume yes, but not lower prices.
f4eru:
Seems so.
Look at this !
"Order today, get them after 5 Years"
And it seems to be an official delivery date from ST, I suppose.
