[World DRAM Price] Prices of DRAMs Decline Only in Asia Market May 31, 2000 (TOKYO) -- DRAM microchip prices continue to decline in the Asian market, although such prices are rising in the U.S. and European markets. The prices of 128Mb DRAM microchips for large-volume users are witnessing a difference of more than US$3.00 between the U.S. and Asian markets. The price gap is a reflection of trends in the two overall economies. While the U.S. market is seeing PC sales on the rise, the Asian market is still just picking up, although it has bottomed out. A worldwide DRAM price survey conducted by ICIS-LOR showed that the 30-day rolling average prices of 128Mb DRAMs (PC133, 16M x 8) for large-volume users between April 13 and May 12 were US$14.65 in North America, US$12.48 in Europe and US$11.46 in Asia. ICIS-LOR is based in London, Houston and Singapore. As compared with the results of the previous week (the 30-day rolling average prices up to May 5), such prices rose by 0.82 percent in North America, increased by 2.34 percent in Europe, and declined by 4.46 percent in Asia. The spot prices for 128MB DIMM (PC133) memory modules rose by 0.63 percent from the previous week to US$110.74 in North America, increased by 0.72 percent to US$106.19 in Europe, and went up by 0.20 percent to US$98.98 in Asia.
