The rare earth market experienced slight fluctuations today, with an increase in inquiries driven by procurement activities from major enterprises. However, due to downstream companies' low acceptance of high-priced raw materials, actual trading volume did not significantly increase, resulting in overall stable rare earth prices. In the short term, rare earth prices are expected to remain stable due to the intense bargaining between upstream and downstream players.
