[SMM rare Earth Daily Review 10.29] rare Earth prices continue to fall and pay attention to demand in the short term

Published: Oct 29, 2019 20:40

SMM, 29 Oct:

The price of rare earth continues to decline today, and the price of heavy rare earth represented by dysprosium oxide and terbium oxide has dropped obviously. Dysprosium oxide 155-1.58 million yuan / ton, terbium oxide 350-3.55 million yuan / ton, holmium oxide 33-340000 yuan / ton, praseodymium oxide neodymium oxide 28.5-290000 yuan / ton, neodymium oxide fell to 28.7-292000 yuan / ton. Affected by the gradual easing of the supply side in the future, the price of medium and heavy rare earths has been lowered to varying degrees, and the supply of goods at low prices continues to exist in the market, but the sentiment of downstream enterprises towards the market has intensified, and the actual transaction situation in the market is relatively weak. On the light rare earths side, weak demand for light rare earths has also affected falling prices. In the short term, focus on whether follow-up demand has improved.

Prices outside China remained stable this week, with the US-Brazil supply chain construction achieving both funding and project milestones [SMM Rare Earth Weekly Review]
This week, rare earth prices outside China remained broadly stable. Neodymium oxide and terbium oxide edged lower, while terbium metal bucked the trend and moved higher, reflecting rigid demand support for medium-heavy rare earths. In news, USAR's magnet plant in the US broke ground and integrated heavy rare earth resources from Brazil, with recycling projects advancing in parallel. In Brazil, IMC, BRE, and Viridis made intensive metallurgical breakthroughs at their ionic clay projects. On the financing side, Aclara secured a $750 million loan from the Export-Import Bank of the US, and JOGMEC increased its investment in Brazilian exploration, marking a shift in overseas supply chain competition toward "capital lock-in and delivery of separated capacity." Diversification of non-China supply is accelerating, but in the short term it still relies on policy support.

[Pr-Nd series stops rising and turns stable with a weak balance, dysprosium series temporarily stable while terbium continues to decline, magnetic material activity remains moderate] Last week, Pr-Nd oxide consolidated within a narrow range, with upstream and downstream temporarily in a weak balance, while demand-side inquiries and purchases remained cautious; dysprosium oxide quotes were stable, market inquiries saw limited changes, and transactions were mainly small orders for immediate needs; terbium oxide continued to decline, with higher prices still struggling to gain acceptance, suppliers increasing shipments at lower prices, and transactions mostly settling at low levels.
