The DRAM spot market remained weak this week, with prices staying mostly flat, according to the latest data.
Spot price of both 1Gb DDR2 and DDR3 were pegged at US$2.26 and US$2.52, respectively, as of noon June 17.
DDR2 supply volume was small in the spot market, but lukewarm demand in the channels was unable to spur prices. For the DDR3 segment, more module makers revised their quotes down by single percentage points this week, with the price of 2GB DDR3 modules averaged at about US$45. Some effectively tested (eTT) DDR3 modules were even offered at as low as US$38.
The NAND flash market, on the other hand, showed some improvements. Thanks to growing demand for low-density memory cards, the price of the mainstream 16Gb multi-level cell (MLC) flash chips enjoyed an about 1% growth. But transaction volumes were still low in the channels.
