SMM, January 10: Today, rare earth market prices experienced slight fluctuations. According to SMM data, the price of Pr-Nd oxide increased to 400,000-401,000 yuan/mt, dysprosium oxide adjusted to 1.61-1.63 million yuan/mt, and terbium oxide decreased to 5.75-5.8 million yuan/mt. Gadolinium oxide rose to 151,000-153,000 yuan/mt, while holmium oxide remained stable at 410,000-415,000 yuan/mt.

In the metal market, Pr-Nd alloy prices rose to 490,000-494,000 yuan/mt, dysprosium-iron alloy was priced at 1.58-1.6 million yuan/mt, terbium metal remained at 7.2-7.25 million yuan/mt, gadolinium-iron prices stabilized at 148,000-150,000 yuan/mt, and lanthanum-cerium metal was at 17,000-19,000 yuan/mt. Today, influenced by Baotou Steel's increase in Q1 2025 concentrate prices, suppliers maintained a strong sentiment to stand firm on quotes, leading to a slight rise in Pr-Nd product prices. However, due to differing market expectations between buyers and sellers regarding medium-heavy rare earths, the overall prices of dysprosium and terbium remained stable. Currently, back-and-forth negotiations between upstream and downstream remain intense.

Rare earth market prices remain weak, downstream still holds a wait-and-see attitude [SMM Rare Earth Daily Review]

[SMM Rare Earth Daily Review: Rare earth market prices in the doldrums, downstream remains on the sidelines] Overall, today's decline narrowed significantly from yesterday. Pr-Nd oxides were the first to stop falling, while metals only eased slightly. Terbium, dysprosium, gadolinium, and other varieties that had fallen sharply earlier moved into consolidation. Trading activity showed no clear recovery, with buyers and sellers still locked in a standoff at low levels. Actual transaction centers edged lower, and the market was dominated by sporadic restocking and delivery of previous orders. In the short term, whether Pr-Nd prices can stabilize and rebound hinges on whether magnetic material enterprises can convert pre-holiday restocking inquiries into actual orders. If orders remain elusive, Pr-Nd product prices may consolidate on a subdued note within a narrow range.
