Dram, the prices of memories are stable now
Table of contents:
According to DRAMeXchange , DRAM prices have been stable during the month of August, and the cost of 8 GB DRAM PC contracts is stable at $ 25.50. This is a sign that DRAM prices have bottomed out, at least for now.
DRAM memory prices have stopped falling and remain stable
PC makers have reportedly begun to build up DRAM stocks in preparation for U.S. import duties and amid the ongoing trade dispute between South Korea and Japan. This has increased the demand for DRAM, which has allowed DRAM manufacturers to be firmer in their pricing policies.

At this time it is unknown how long DRAM pricing will remain stable. Production growth is estimated at 12.5% in the 2020 DRAM market, the smallest expansion the market has experienced in the last decade. This is because the DRAM market has changed its mind about profitability, as an overly ambitious increase in production would lower DRAM prices and this lowers profit margins.
Next year, the Chinese market for self-produced DRAMs is expected to account for less than 3% of the world's supply of DRAMs. At this time, China's DRAM supplies are not expected to have a significant impact on overall DRAM supply and prices.
This should bring more stability to the memory market.
