DDR spot prices rocket amid Taiwan political turmoil

"Spot prices for 256Mbit (32Mbitx8) DDR shot up by over 6% yesterday in Asia, driven by aggressive buying amid political unrest in Taiwan after the island’s contested presidential election, according to DRAMeXchange.

Strong demand drove average spot prices for 256Mbit (32Mbitx8) DDR 266/333/400 above US$5, said DRAMeXchange after the market closed yesterday. Spot prices have reached the highest level in six months."
It kind of makes you wonder how a simple election could be related to DDR chip prices. Then again these are reporters just making up.. errr reporting the news.
