Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

It's not even futures, just basic demand through scarcity.

There is an expectation that there will be a severe shortage of RAM soon, which causes people to panic buy it now, which drives prices up. It's not that complicated.
