Perhaps in your part of the world. Not in ours. But here's hoping we do get some relief.

Ram prices in Aus might decrease a bit but what hurts electronic prices here is our bloody weak dollar to USD.

The only way to reduce ram prices world wide is to stop buying it. Sounds simple but is true. Defer your next system build until ram prices and graphics card price return to "normal." When current ram and graphics card inventory begins to dust over, prices will return will become more realistic.

Ram isn't only in PC's...

When Mr. Trump initiated the tariffs on Chinese goods, all the good folk tech journalists were all over him suggesting that prices for electronics would soar. That certainly does not seem to be the case. RAM is falling. SSD's are falling. Graphics cards are falling. Desktop PC's are falling. Laptops are falling. Etc., etc., etc...........

I'll be waiting for your updates (apologies) on the tariff situation. And none of you ever considered or reported on the potential long term benefits of a harder line stance with the Chinese.

For shame!
