Despite an increase in downstream inquiries today, overall trading volume remained low, and the market continued to see intense bargaining between upstream and downstream players. Notably, news regarding the resumption of Myanmar ore transportation had no significant short-term impact on the market, with heavy rare earth prices remaining strong and Pr-Nd product prices relatively stable. SMM expects rare earth prices to maintain a stable trend in the short term.
