Flash market update:

In general, activity has decreased recently on memory markets with no one completely understanding why, according to NECX analyst Joe Rossino. More specifically, Rossino reports, flash activity has been painfully slow over the past week.

Rossino’s speculation is that: 1) buyers and sellers are taking a "wait-and-see" approach as the end of Q3 approaches, 2) purchasers may have overbought this past quarter, and need little or no parts for their orders, and/or 3) now is the end of the fiscal year for many operations.

Price-wise, the market has leveled off somewhat from last week for 32-Mbyte, 5-V TSOPs. Less expensive product has been bought up, leaving pricing between $36 and $55.
