【SMM News on March 4】Driven by rising domestic prices and international energy prices, overseas lanthanum-cerium oxide prices increased across the board. Lanthanum oxide FOB was assessed at $960-1,020/mt, up $30/mt; cerium oxide FOB was assessed at $1,883-1,967/mt, up $125/mt; and cerium oxide CIF (Port of Rotterdam) was assessed at $2,550-2,560/mt, up $135/mt.

According to the SMM survey, this round of price increases was a normal market fluctuation and has not yet caused significant cost pressure on overseas buyers.
