13:53 ET SARS concerns effecting DRAM markets -- Silicon Strategies : A column in Silicon Strategies from a research firm cites concerns over the SARS outbreak's effect on the DRAM markets. SARS concerns are said to have "scared" Chinese consumers away from retail outlets. As a result, PC sales have witnessed a dramatic slowdown with sources mentioned in the article suggesting PC OEMs are making half of their targeted sales numbers for China. Subsequently, DRAM inventories at OEMs have been increasing with transactions in the China and Hong Kong spot markets described as being "virtually ceased". It is important to note that this is a slow time during the PC sales cycle due to seasonality. Despite this development, the article also mentions a positive note being production problems, which have reduced supply and kept prices higher according to the research firm's supply and demand ratio. 13:32 ET Fund Flows : Equity mutual funds reported net cash outflows of a modest $796mln for the week ended Wednesday, April 30. Most domestic and international sectors reported redemptions. Taxable bond funds continue to be the big winners with high yield really raking it in ($1.1bln to HY). International, global and emerging market debt funds all reported inflows for the fifth consecutive week. Government/mortgage funds reported net outflows. And finally, money market funds were hit with net redemptions totaling $46.6bln and municipal bond funds had net inflows of $330mln.
