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.
