Supply and Demand: Currently, with news that imports from Myanmar will soon resume, some market participants' sentiment has declined, and there are signs of weakening rare earth ore prices.

Rare Earth Oxide Prices: Pr-Nd oxide quotation range is about 443,000-445,000 yuan/mt, dysprosium oxide mainstream quotations are in the range of 1.65-1.67 million yuan/mt, and terbium oxide quotations have been adjusted to around 6.5-6.55 million yuan/mt.

Supply and Demand: Last week, under the influence of news that ion-adsorption ore imports will soon resume, some suppliers' willingness to sell increased, and overall raw material prices slightly pulled back; however, some companies are still waiting for the issuance of quotas, resulting in relatively small fluctuations in rare earth prices.

Rare Earth Metal Prices: Pr-Nd alloy mainstream quotations are in the range of 543,000-545,000 yuan/mt, dysprosium-iron alloy quotations are about 1.63-1.65 million yuan/mt, and terbium metal quotations are around 8.1-8.15 million yuan/mt.

Supply and Demand: Currently, metal factories are experiencing a somewhat quiet order situation, with low downstream inquiry enthusiasm, mainly purchasing as needed. In the absence of significant volatility in oxide prices, metal factories' quotations remain stable, and overall rare earth metal prices are steady.

Supply and Demand: Last week, the scrap market was generally stable, with separation enterprises offering relatively firm quotations, and the overall trading atmosphere was rather cold. The tug-of-war over prices between buyers and sellers was not particularly intense, and market participants are adopting a wait-and-see attitude towards future trends, with generally low purchase willingness.
