[SMM Weekly selection] Light rare earths praseodymium-neodymium oxide market turnover is lower than last week, inquiry orders and actual transactions are generally weak. Due to the market demand upstream merchants gradually cut prices, praseodymium neodymium oxide prices gradually fell. In terms of medium and heavy rare earths, the prices of dysprosium oxide and terbium oxide rose sharply this week compared with last week. The recent acquisition and storage expectations have attracted much attention from the market. Myanmar's imports of ionic rare earth minerals are relatively low compared with the same period last year, and the market is expected to maintain a relatively low level of imports of ionic rare earth minerals that may be caused by the upcoming rainy season in Myanmar, and market enquiries and transactions have picked up.

"SMM rare Earth Weekly report" released, the weekly report SMM will select one of the hot topics, prices, market or major changes in the industrial chain information released into a document for your reference.

The prices of rare earth products have been mixed this week. In terms of light rare earths, the market turnover of praseodymium-neodymium oxide this week is lower than that of last week, and the inquiry order and the actual transaction situation are generally weak. Due to the market demand upstream merchants gradually cut prices, praseodymium neodymium oxide prices gradually fell, Friday praseodymium neodymium oxide quotation 26.6-269000 yuan / ton. In terms of medium and heavy rare earths, the prices of dysprosium oxide and terbium oxide rose sharply this week compared with last week. The recent acquisition and storage expectations have attracted much attention from the market. Myanmar's ionic rare earth ore imports are relatively low compared with the same period last year, and the market is expected to maintain a relatively low level of ionic rare earth ore imports that may be caused by the upcoming rainy season in Myanmar, the impact of tightening of rare earth mineral raw material supply and market storage expectations, upstream merchants actively raise quotations, market enquiries and transactions have warmed up. Dysprosium, terbium prices are supported by the actual transaction situation, the performance is relatively strong and rising day by day.
