The cuts lowered quotes of terbium oxide to 4 million yuan/mt, down 100,000 yuan/mt from the previous price

SHANGHAI, Oct 23 (SMM) – China Southern Rare Earth Group, one of the six, state-owned rare earth mining groups in China, lowered the weekly listed prices for several types of medium and heavy rare earth oxides, including the mainstream dysprosium oxide and terbium oxide, the company said on its website on October 23.

The cuts lowered the quotes of terbium oxide to 4 million yuan/mt, down 100,000 yuan/mt from the previous price released on October 14.

Quotes of dysprosium oxide slid 50,000 yuan/mt to stand at 1.95 million yuan/mt, and prices of holmic oxide shrank 10,000 yuan/mt, to 350,000 yuan/mt.

Prices of gadolinium oxide and erbium oxide were down 4,000 yuan/mt and 2,000 yuan/mt, respectively, and both stood at 168,000 yuan/mt.

Listed prices for other medium and heavy rare earth oxides, including samarium oxide and europium oxide, remained unchanged.

GRANOPT to Cut Faraday Rotator Production Due to Rare Earth Supply Delays from China

Faraday rotator supplier GRANGPT issued a statement on production cuts. The core upstream raw material for Faraday rotators is SGGG (Substituted Gadolinium Gallium Garnet), which is made from bismuth-substituted rare-earth garnet using the liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) method. Nearly all of the rare earths used by GRANOPT’s substrate supplier, SMM Precision, relied on supply from China, and the time consumed in the current acceptance process by China’s Ministry of Commerce has far exceeded expectations, so the company will gradually reduce Faraday rotator production starting in January 2026.
