Contrary to popular belief, DRAM contract prices are not going up this month.
Contract prices for DRAMs are expected to be flat in the second half of this month, “as DRAM makers seem to stop proposing price [hikes] for both DDR and DDR2 modules,” according to DRAMeXchange, a memory clearing house.
It’s a buyer’s market on the spot market. The firm’s DRAM index, the DXI, fell to 2,986 from 2,998 in the week of March 14-20, as spot prices of both DDR and DDR2 parts encountered slight drops.
In DRAM spot market today, 512Mb(64M*8)400MHz kept lifting slightly, which stimulated the demand on high-density modules, however, buyers were only interested about the low price modules. Prices of mainstream chips 256Mb(32M*8)400MHz/333MHz remained at USD2.02/USD2.15 respectively, with limited transactions. For UTT(ETT), due to the sluggish demand and the rising USD, some vendors released their stocks at lower prices for profit, and the price slightly dropped 0.11% to USD1.72, with limited transactions.
DRAMeXchange observed that DDR2 parts fell more than DDR.
