On the spot side, the prices of most rare earth products held steady last week, with praseodymium neodymium oxide and metal praseodymium neodymium prices rising slightly during the week.

Praseodymium and neodymium metal prices also rose, although the upstream business quotation is relatively strong but downstream demand remains relatively weak, resulting in praseodymium and neodymium oxide prices significantly up the action can be weak. In terms of medium and heavy rare earths, the prices of dysprosium oxide and terbium oxide were all the same during the week, the market was expected to close and reserve during the week, the upstream quotation remained strong, and the market demand was relatively weak, resulting in a flat stalemate in dysprosium oxide and terbium oxide prices.

A plant in northern China is calling for bids for indium ingots and bismuth ingots
SMM, February 6 - According to SMM’s investigation of market information, a large smelter in northern China began public bidding for a certain quantity of indium ingots and bismuth ingots starting yesterday. Market sources indicate that the starting price for these indium ingots exceeds 4,000 yuan per kilogram, while the starting price for bismuth ingots is above 150,000 yuan per ton. The bidding results are expected to be announced before the Spring Festival. Market participants note that, given the clear trend of sluggish trading activity ahead of the Spring Festival, the timing of this bidding is not ideal. However, the relatively favorable starting prices have generated considerable market anticipation for the outcome of the bidding.
