Supported by the supply and cost side, the separation enterprises were hesitant to sell at low prices, but high prices did not appeal the buyers either.

SHANGHAI, Jun 23 (SMM) - The prices of PrNd products moved in a narrow range today. The mainstream transaction prices of PrN oxide dropped slightly to 930,000-940,000 yuan/mt, the alloy prices were stable around 1.13-1.15 million yuan/mt. Supported by the supply and cost side, the separation enterprises were hesitant to sell at low prices, but high prices did not appeal the buyers either.

Downstream demand has not seen any obvious improvement, and orders were low. The magnetic material enterprises were not very active in purchasing PrNd alloy.

The mainstream prices of dysprosium oxide were 2.48-2.52 million yuan/mt, and that of terbium oxide stood between 14.2-14.5 million yuan/mt. Market transactions were muted maid sluggish downstream and terminal demand. Gadolinium oxide and gadolinium iron prices were slightly lowered, with fewer inquiries in the market recently.

As of June 23, the mainstream prices of PrNd oxide and alloy were 930,000-940,000 yuan/mt and 1.13-1.15 million yuan/mt respectively. Dysprosium oxide prices were slightly lowered to 2.48-2.52 million yuan/mt, dysprosium metal 3.27-3.3 million yuan/mt, and dysprosium iron 2.48-2.52 million yuan/mt. The mainstream prices of terbium oxide stabilised at 14.2-14.5 million yuan/mt, and terbium metal between 18.1-18.2 million yuan/mt. Gadolinium oxide prices were slightly lowered to 535,000-545,000 yuan/mt, while gadolinium iron prices fell to 505,000-510,000 yuan/mt.

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.
