According to DRAMeXchange, a research division of TrendForce, the fire accident experienced by SK Hynix's Wuxi plant has led to a sudden surge in market demand. As the damages experienced by the plant turned out to be relatively severe, no official word has been given as to when the company's future production will resume. The tightening of the supplies and the fact that PC DRAM is the said manufacturer's mainstream product have led the spot prices for mainstream 2Gb chips to soar by an whopping 44.5% since the 9/4 fire incident (the calculation is based on the chip's agreed price of $US 2.294 on 9/16). The contract prices that are about to be announced during September, it is worth noting, are also anticipated to show a growth of at least 10%...

DRAM contract price increased by 16% in the second quarter, with DDR3 4GB price hitting US$27.50. Although PC shipments are traditionally weak in the second quarter, PC OEMs’ DRAM inventory levels were insufficient in the second quarter and they expected prices to rise in the third quarter. Furthermore, as first-tier DRAM makers like Samsung and SK Hynix are increasing mobile memory production and decreasing commodity DRAM output, second-quarter prices rose. However, as PC shipment outlook is weak for the second half of the year, DRAM contract price growth slowed at the end of the second quarter, creating uncertainty towards third-quarter figures. Furthermore, as PC OEMs’ inventory levels are climbing, TrendForce expects contract price to stay flat or even decrease in the second half of the year...
