Golden Ten Data, March 30 — According to reports from US media, Sony Interactive Entertainment has recently announced an increase in the price of its PS5 series consoles. This marks the second price adjustment by the company in less than a year. Reports state that in the US market, the PS5 console with disc drive will see its price rise by $100, from $549.99 to $649.99 (approximately 4,498 RMB); the digital version’s price will also increase by $100 to $599.99 (about 4,152 RMB); Sony’s most powerful PS5 Pro model will increase by $150, with the new price reaching $899.99 (about 6,228 RMB). Sony has indicated that varying degrees of price adjustments have also been made in markets such as China, Japan, and Europe. Some analysts point out that this price hike is unavoidable due to the increase in memory prices. Additionally, analysts note that reduced helium supply will drive up its price, and if the conflict continues for several months or even longer, the extent of the price hikes may further expand.

Golden Ten Data reported on March 30th that Muyu Xu, Senior Crude Oil Analyst at Kpler, stated that if any potential disruption occurs in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, crude oil shipments may be forced to reroute around the Cape of Good Hope, which would double transit times and increase costs. "Ship owners may choose to divert westward, transiting the Suez Canal and then around the Cape of Good Hope to transport Saudi crude oil to Asia, but this journey would take nearly 50 days, more than twice the time required for transportation via the Red Sea, and would substantially weaken the market's immediate supply capacity." The rerouting would significantly increase costs due to higher freight rates and increased fuel consumption, while also forcing the global oil tanker fleet to be redeployed, as very large crude carriers (VLCCs) are unable to transit the Suez Canal.

Data shows that the SOL price has re-entered a high-concentration chip zone from $83.7 to $91.92 over the past month, with the Point of Control (POC—highest transaction density price) located at $90. After the price enters this dense area, the market tends to fight fiercely around the POC, making $90 a potentially important resistance level in the near term—exercise caution when chasing high.
