[World DRAM Price] Prices Still Expected to Rise in August August 6, 2003 (TOKYO) -- According to a world DRAM price survey conducted by ICIS-LOR, which has bases in London, Houston, and Singapore, the rolling average prices of 256MB DIMMs (PC2100) on the spot market in the 30-day period ended July 18, 2003 (June 19-July 18) were US$29.19 in North America, US$32.56 in Europe, and US$30.51 in Asia. Compared with the previous week (the rolling average prices for the 30-day period ending July 11,) the prices rose 4.35% in North America, 3.84% in Europe, and 1.63% in Asia.<BR><BR>As for memory modules, the prices for 128Mb DRAMs (PC133, 16M x 8) for large-volume users in North America rose by 0.54% from the previous week to US$2.83, remained unchanged at US$3.03 in Europe, and unchanged in Asia at US$2.90.<BR><BR>The 30-day rolling average spot prices of the Double Data Rate (DDR)-type 256MB DIMMs continue to rise. This is because PC manufacturers do not seem to be curtailing their production plans thanks to the strong demand for use of enterprise PCs.<BR><BR>With such a climate, the DRAM prices will probably rise in August as well for both large-volume users and on the spot markets. At least they will not show signs of declining for large-volume users in the early part of August.
