64M DRAM Prices Fall Below 8 Dlrs In Spot Market Trading Saturday, September 9, 2000 TOKYO (Nikkei)--Spot prices for 64M DRAM chips for personal computers, a mainstay of the semiconductor industry, have fallen below 8 dollars for the first time in about two months. Due to a buildup in chip inventories in early spring, buying on the spot market is now thinning, analysts say. Another factor is a slowdown in the growth of the North American PC market, the largest consumer of the chips. As a result, there are now signs of change in the DRAM market. That market had been strongly bullish, with prices having climbed persistently since the spring. But spot prices for 64M DRAMs now range from about 7.4 dollars to 8 dollars, a slide of around 4% over the past week. (The Nihon Keizai Shimbun Saturday morning edition)
