[SMM Rare Earth Morning Meeting Summary] Pr-Nd oxide rebounds slightly as suppliers hold prices firm, terbium oxide continues to weaken, metals follow the rise but transactions remain limited.
[Pr-Nd oxide rebounds slightly as suppliers hold prices firm; terbium oxide continues to weaken; metals follow gains but transactions remain limited] Yesterday, Pr-Nd alloy prices edged up slightly, mainly driven by increased inquiry activity from downstream magnetic material enterprises and higher raw material prices. Some suppliers raised their quotes, but actual transaction follow-through remained limited. In the medium-heavy rare earth metals segment, although market inquiry activity was relatively low, dysprosium-iron alloy and terbium metal quotes remained relatively firm, with a clear tug-of-war between sellers and buyers and transactions in a stalemate.
