[SMM Rare Earth Daily Review: Rare Earth Market Remains Calm with Stable Prices] Currently, the prices in the rare earth market have largely remained stable. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the overall market sentiment for trading has been relatively weak. Prices in the oxide market are supported by costs, maintaining high levels. The metal market has seen a slight increase in trading activity due to restocking by a small number of magnetic material enterprises. However, as end-use demand has not shown improvement, the order-taking situation for magnetic materials has been average, with restocking mainly consisting of small, on-demand purchases, and the market sentiment remains cautious.

In the metal market, Pr-Nd alloy prices today increased to 535,000 to 540,000 yuan per mt, dysprosium-iron alloy prices were stable at 1.58 million to 1.59 million yuan per mt, terbium metal prices were stable at 8.8 million to 8.9 million yuan per mt, gadolinium-iron alloy prices were stable at 158,000 to 161,000 yuan per mt, holmium-iron market prices increased to 524,000 to 528,000 yuan per mt, and lanthanum-cerium metal prices continued to be stable between 17,000 and 19,000 yuan per mt.

Currently, the rare earth market prices are basically stable. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the overall market sentiment was weak. Oxide market prices were supported by costs, maintaining high levels. The metal market saw a slight increase in trading activity due to restocking by magnetic material enterprises. However, with no significant improvement in end-use demand, the order-taking situation for magnetic materials was average, and restocking behavior mainly involved small-scale purchases as needed, leading to a strong wait-and-see sentiment in the market. Overall, with no significant changes in the supply-demand pattern, most industry players adopted a wait-and-see attitude, awaiting further market developments. It is expected that rare earth prices will remain stable in the short term.
