Japan crisis sends component prices soaring

Japan crisis sends component prices soaring. ============================================

Yes memory is volatile.

NAND and DRAM prices have abruptly headed north following Japan's earthquake and tsunami disaster.

Memory prices look set to surge in the aftermath of the earthquakes and tsunami that hit Japan, according to analysts.

With the world still unsure just how much damage the disaster has caused to Japan's manufacturing capability, market speculators appear to be banking on the inevitable disruption to restrict supply and push prices up.

The instability pushed spot trading prices for DDR3 1Gb 128Mx8 units up by more than 7.5% in trading today, according to DRAMeXchange, and other prices were equally volatile.

The spot price for 16GB NAND flash memory chips rose 12.5% as traders stockpiled available components and some suppliers stopped offering prices in the volatile market.
