[SMM Flash News: Rare Earth Market Prices Continue to Rise] Currently, rare earth market prices are experiencing a slight increase, but the rate of increase has slowed down, primarily due to the lack of robust demand for medium-heavy rare earths in the market. Affected by export controls, downstream enterprises prefer light rare earths, resulting in a general level of trading activity in the medium-heavy rare earth market. Large factories have slowed down their procurement of medium-heavy rare earth oxides, with overall weak demand and a slower rate of price increase. The light rare earth market is relatively active, benefiting from concentrated procurement by large magnetic material manufacturers, leading to vibrant trading. Supported by oxide costs, the trading range of Pr-Nd alloy has increased, prompting metal enterprises to increase their procurement of Pr-Nd oxide. As a result, the availability of low-priced goods has decreased, and prices continue to rise.
