Last week, light rare earths, praseodymium and neodymium oxide prices first continued the previous upward momentum, stable and then fell slightly. The overall trading in the praseodymium-neodymium oxide market is light, and when the previous price rises all the way to the price level of 290000 yuan / ton, the downstream wait-and-see atmosphere is strong, the acceptance of this price is limited, and the market enters the game. From the perspective of market inventory, the overall inventory of the holders, including the separation plant, is not high, so the market begins to consolidate at this price level. As of today, the price of praseodymium and neodymium oxide is 28.9-292000 yuan / ton, little change from last week.

In terms of medium and heavy rare earths, products such as terbium oxide and holmium oxide last week showed eye-catching performance recently. In particular, the price of terbium oxide has continued to rise to the highest level in nearly eight years, the market sentiment has been fully mobilized, and the holders are more confident. At present, the market supply of terbium oxide is relatively tight, coupled with the expected superimposed impact of the collection and storage of medium and heavy rare earths, so this round of rise has a certain solid foundation. Of course, when reaching the current price, some of the holders' quotation and shipping enthusiasm have been improved, appropriate shipping; there are also some businesses are still optimistic about the future, shipping hesitation. As of today, the price of terbium oxide is 4,650 murals 4700 yuan / kg, the average price is the same as last Friday.
