Micron have sold RAM for the next 4 years at current prices, so there are buyers expecting this to stay the same.

That means buyers have basically purchased options. If the price falls, they're underwater a little, but if the price spikes it protects them.

People do that all the time, and sometimes it doesn't pay off.
