Contract prices for DDR, DDR2 SDRAM and NAND flash all picked up for July, according to contract houses in Taiwan.

Contract prices for 256MB DDR-400 are up 2.32% sequentially to US$22 for the first half of July, while 512MB DDR-400/333/266 prices increased 3.38% from June to US$44.3. For the 512MB DDR2-533 segment, contract prices remained flat at US$48.2, a slight on-month drop of 0.2%.

Most DRAM makers expect the upward trend in the market to persist through late September, on seasonal effects. DRAMeXchange has predicted that the 256MB DDR-400 price should peak at US$24-26 in September and remain at that level until November.
