"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.

This week, the domestic rare earth market continues to be under pressure, the prices of mainstream rare earth products are still falling, the listing price of rare earths in the north has turned down from the previous month, and the market as a whole is still in a period of consolidation.

In terms of light rare earths, the lanthanum and cerium industry remains stable, the fundamentals and trading conditions have not changed much, the price of neodymium oxide continues to decline this week, the acceptance of high prices downstream is not high, there are relatively many shipments in the market circulation, and the price grasp is relatively loose. The price of rare earths in the north announced in the middle of the week is significantly lower than that of last month, which also reflects the lack of confidence in the market in the short term. Generally speaking, the market is under severe pressure. As of today, the price of neodymium oxide is 33.5-339000 yuan / ton, down 3000 yuan / ton from last Friday, while the price of wrong neodymium metal is 42.5-430000 yuan / ton, down 5500 yuan / ton from last Friday.

In terms of medium and heavy rare earths, products such as terbium and gadolinium continue the downward trend this week without exception. Under the mood of buying one piece but not buying down, the current terminal consumer enterprises purchase less, the rigid demand is mainly released, and there is still a certain price expectation. This week, terbium oxide, dysprosium oxide, gadolinium oxide and other products are still in the overall consolidation down, wait-and-see mood has not subsided, order 0.3, as of today, the price of terbium oxide is 4850-4900 yuan / KK. 20 yuan / gram lower than last Friday; The price of metal terbium is 6200-6250 yuan / dry gram, down 20 yuan / dry gram from last Friday, and the price of dysprosium oxide is 1710-1730 yuan / dry gram, down 30 yuan / dry gram from last Friday.

The tax rate adjustment brought about by the formal implementation of the resource tax law last week and the reduction in the listing price of rare earths in the north this week may indeed put pressure on the market. In the current situation of lack of positive factors to stimulate terminal consumption at home and abroad, the domestic rare earth market may continue to consolidate.
