[World DRAM Price] DRAM Spot Prices Decline to US$9 Range December 29, 1999 (TOKYO) -- DRAM prices are declining as demand for the year-end sales season settles down. According to the worldwide DRAM price survey conducted by ICIS-LOR, which is based in London, Houston and Singapore, the 30-day rolling average prices of 64Mb DRAMs (PC100, 8M x 8) for large users between Nov. 11 and Dec. 10 were US$11.20 in North America, US$11.26 in Europe and US$11.00 in Asia. Compared with the 30-day rolling average up to Dec. 3, it declined by 0.42 percent in North America, was down 1.46 percent in Europe and increased by 1.76 percent in Asia. As for prices for memory modules, the spot price for 64MB dual inline memory modules (DIMMs, PC100) declined by 5.73 percent from the prior week to US$76.02 in North America, declined by 5.51 percent to US$79.24 in Europe and also declined by 5.77 percent to US$73.88 in Asia. The spot price of the 30-day rolling average for 64Mb DRAMs fell to US$10.00 or below in Europe and North America. The daily spot prices were already less than US$8.00 in North America and Asia. It is just a matter of time before the daily spot price falls under US$8.00 in Europe, too. Without production adjustments, the declining trend in prices will continue into the first quarter of 2000. nikkeibp.asiabiztech.com
