DRAM Prices Falling Below Break Even Point
by Cho Hyung-rae (hrcho@chosun.com)

Prices are continually falling for two of Korea¡¯s main export products, the DRAM semi-conductor and TFT-LCD. DRAM Exchange, an Internet trading site for semi-conductors said Sunday the price of the 128-mega DRAM, which was the country's main export in the first half, has fallen almost 50% in July. The price of the 128-mega DRAM was around US$2.05 last weekend, on the critical verge of falling below US$2. The price of the DDR (double data rate) DRAM, which is popular these days, is also falling continuously.

The price of TFT-LCDs also fell in July. Samsung Electronics and LG Philips said, Friday, 15-inch and 17-inch LCD products will be reduced by up to US$20 to US$240 and US$350 to US$360, respectively.

Major companies in Taiwan are expected to have to lower prices as will Japan¡¯s Toshiba and Hitachi.
