Rare Earth Market: Pr-Nd Under Pressure Pulls Back, Medium-Heavy Rare Earth Continues Strong [SMM Rare Earth Daily Review]
[SMM Rare Earth Daily Review: Pr-Nd Under Pressure with Pullback, Medium-Heavy Rare Earth Continues to Hold Up Well] On the whole, the rare earth market shows mixed performance. Pr-Nd products experienced slight price pressure due to sluggish inquiry activity, while medium-heavy rare earth products continued to hold up well supported by tightening low-priced supply sources and increased inquiries. The overall spot transactions in the rare earth market remained in a stalemate. It is expected that in the short term, Pr-Nd product prices may move sideways in a narrow range; for medium-heavy rare earth, supported by the persistent difficulty in finding low-priced supply sources, prices of products such as dysprosium, terbium, and holmium are likely to consolidate on a strong note.
