DRAM spot prices rebounded this week (November 21-25) as some second-tier module house players sought to build up inventories amid concerns over production cut by suppliers.
While some DRAM suppliers have recently decided to reduce their production due to weak demand, spot prices for DRAM are expected to see an upward trend later this month and such a trend will last throughout the end of this year, said the research firm.
As of noon of November 25, spot price of a white-branded 1Gb DDR2 shot up by 10% to US$1.01 and branded 2Gb DDR3 rose 3% to US$0.75, noted inSpectrum.
The NAND flash spot market remained quiet this week with most demand seen in the high density segment, including 64Gb MLC and 128Gb MLC, the research firm said, adding that as of noon of November 25, spot price of a 32Gb MLC was flat at US$3.34 while a 64Gb MLC rose 1% to US$5.82.
