The oscillations are related to the fact that Huawei is the main consumer of the memories made in the North American country. That would put an end to much of the market and generate a surplus of inventory.
“While the US ban ripples continue spreading, deliveries of Huawei smartphones and servers must face heavy obstacles in the next two to three quarters, impacting the peak demand season for DRAM 2H products and the precipitation time prices. “
With warehouses full, the output will be to further lower values, in order to attract other companies to consume the product of these manufacturers.
