[January 14 SMM China Rare Earth Market Daily] Today, rare earth product prices continued to fluctuate upward. It is understood that some separation enterprises have already stopped shipments, and most of the remaining suppliers are also expected to stop quoting by the end of this week. The circulation of spot rare earths in the market is gradually tightening. Due to the optimistic outlook of some downstream enterprises on rare earth prices after the New Year, they are still actively inquiring in the market and making purchases during price dips.

[SMM Daily Review: Market Transactions Sluggish as Chinese New Year Holiday Approaches] Today, rare earth market prices gradually stabilized. According to SMM data, the price of Pr-Nd oxide has risen to 405,000-406,000 yuan/mt, while dysprosium oxide increased to 1.64-1.66 million yuan/mt.

[Canadian Company Plans to Invest in Laos Rare Earth Smelter] According to Mining.com, Canada Rare Earth (CRE) has signed a memorandum of understanding with a Laos company to purchase its fully licensed rare earth smelter. The facility will be used to process concentrates and produce commercially saleable rare earth oxides, including light and heavy rare earth elements.

[SMM Rare Earth Morning Meeting Summary: Oxide Prices Soar Rapidly, Downstream Procurement Remains Cautious] Yesterday, driven by the tightening of market supply and speculative factors, the prices in the rare earth oxide market rose rapidly, with low-priced goods becoming scarce. Under these circumstances, some buyers were more cautious in their procurement, and the actual trading volume in the market remained average.

[January 13 SMM China Rare Earth Market Daily] Today, the prices of rare earth oxides rose rapidly. Currently, the transaction price of Pr-Nd oxide has reached as high as 406,000 yuan/mt. It is understood that although metal factories have significantly raised their quotations, the actual market transactions fell short of expectations. Some magnetic material enterprises have stopped taking orders before the holiday season, and most downstream production factories have completed their raw material stockpiling for the Chinese New Year. It is expected that the room for further increases in rare earth material prices will be limited.

[SMM Daily Review: Upstream Supply Tightens, Rare Earth Prices Surge] Today, rare earth market prices rose significantly. According to SMM data, the price of Pr-Nd oxide increased to 403,000-405,000 yuan/mt, while the price of dysprosium oxide rose to 1.63-1.65 million yuan/mt.

[SMM Rare Earth Morning Meeting Summary: Pr-Nd Prices Rise Slightly, Market Purchase Willingness Remains Sluggish] Last week, influenced by news factors, Pr-Nd prices saw a slight boost, but the market's willingness to purchase at high prices was not strong, with price fluctuations being relatively small. With tightened shipments in the ion-adsorption ore market, raw material procurement has become more challenging for ion-adsorption ore separation enterprises. Prices are expected to gradually stabilize in the future.

[SMM Commentary: USA Rare Earth Drives Development of Rare Earth Industry Chain in the Western Hemisphere, Intensifying Global Market Competition] According to a report by Mining.com, USA Rare Earth (USARE) has made significant progress at a new facility in Stillwater, Oklahoma, successfully producing its first batch of rare earth permanent magnets.

[SMM Commentary: Major Breakthrough in Semi-Direct Drive Permanent Magnet Wind Turbines – Will the Rare Earth Permanent Magnet Industry Usher in Significant Benefits?] On January 3, the world's first 20MW-class evaporative cooling semi-direct drive permanent magnet wind turbine, jointly developed by the Ganjiang Innovation Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and CRRC Yongji Electric Co., Ltd., successfully rolled off the production line at the Shandong Green Energy Industrial Park of CRRC Yongji Electric Co., Ltd. This marks a significant success in the innovative application of evaporative cooling technology in the field of large offshore wind turbines.

[January 10 SMM China Rare Earth Market Daily] Today, separation plants have been less active in offering quotes, and rare earth oxide prices overall fluctuated upward. It is understood that due to the prolonged disruption in the normal import of Myanmar ore, some companies engaged in ion-adsorption ore separation have started to reduce or halt production due to raw material shortages. This has also tightened the circulation of oxide spot cargoes in the market, making low-priced procurement more difficult for downstream buyers.
