SMM April 17 News: Today, the rare earth market prices showed a two-tiered divergence between light and heavy rare earths. Specifically, in the oxide market, the price of Pr-Nd oxide decreased to 421,000-423,000 yuan per mt, the price of dysprosium oxide remained at 1.67-1.69 million yuan per mt, the price of terbium oxide increased to 7.17-7.25 million yuan per mt, and the price of gadolinium oxide remained stable at 167,000-169,000 yuan per mt. The price of holmium oxide increased to 487,000-495,000 yuan per mt, while the price of erbium oxide fluctuated between 298,000-303,000 yuan per mt.
In the metal market, the price of Pr-Nd alloy decreased to 520,000-523,000 yuan per mt, the price of dysprosium-iron alloy remained at 1.62-1.63 million yuan per mt, the price of terbium metal remained at 8.9-9 million yuan per mt, the price of gadolinium-iron alloy remained stable at 162,000-164,000 yuan per mt, the price of holmium-iron alloy increased to 495,000-505,000 yuan per mt, and the price of lanthanum-cerium alloy fluctuated between 17,000-22,000 yuan per mt.
Currently, the rare earth market prices show a two-tiered divergence between light and heavy rare earths. The prices of medium-heavy rare earths are relatively stable overall, while the prices of light rare earths are weak. After yesterday's initial jump and subsequent pullback, the overall market price trend is clearly downward, but the fluctuation range is relatively small. In the medium-heavy rare earth sector, despite some purchase news, prices have not significantly increased. In contrast, the price of Pr-Nd alloy in the light rare earth sector continues to decline. Although upstream metal plants attempt to maintain prices, due to poor downstream order conditions and weak market demand, prices continue to fall.Therefore, the rare earth market prices overall show a divergence between light and heavy rare earths, with medium-heavy rare earths tending to stabilize, while light rare earths continue to decline due to insufficient demand. It is expected that in the short term, the prices of medium-heavy rare earths will remain stable, while the prices of light rare earths may further decline.
