According to Malaysian media reports, news emerged on July 17 local time that the Special Select Committee on International Trade and International Relations of the Malaysian Parliament issued a statement saying that the committee is currently reviewing the rare earth supply agreement signed between Australian rare earth enterprise Lynas and the US, with the review focusing on whether this agreement will impact Malaysia's foreign policy and strategic mineral sector. It is reported that Lynas signed a binding letter of intent earlier this year, agreeing to supply rare earth oxides to the US Pentagon within four years.

[Pr-Nd series raised on futures boost but transactions lagged, medium-heavy rare earth dysprosium and terbium stable with slight adjustments, magnetic material price hikes limited by spot orders] Last week, Pr-Nd oxide quotations were broadly raised, buoyed by stronger futures, with low-priced spot cargo in the market visibly dwindling. Gains narrowed slightly near the close, but downstream magnetic material enterprises remained cautious in purchasing and showed limited acceptance of high prices, leaving actual transactions insufficient to follow through. Dysprosium oxide prices held steady for the time being, with market inquiries maintaining a just-in-time pace. Terbium oxide also remained stable, while transactions for high-priced cargo struggled to move forward.
