[SMM rare Earth Daily Review 07.19] weak and stable rare earth market prices of gadolinium oxide, europium oxide and yttrium oxide have been slightly reduced

Published: Jul 22, 2019 20:04

SMM7 22 July news:

Today's market prices of mainstream rare earth products are relatively stable, light rare earths, praseodymium and neodymium oxide quotations are stable at 30-305000 yuan / ton, neodymium oxide is stable at 30.2-307000 yuan / ton. At present, the weak and stable pattern of the rare earth market has not changed, the actual spot transaction is weak, the quotation of the big factory is strong, the actual shipment is on the low side; although there is a low price supply in the hands of traders, but the downstream enterprises maintain the wait-and-see state, buy Xing on the weak side.

In terms of medium and heavy rare earths, the quotations of dysprosium oxide and terbium oxide remained stable at 190-1.92 million yuan / ton and 400-4.03 million yuan / ton. The prices of gadolinium oxide, europium oxide and yttrium oxide fell today, with gadolinium oxide down to 16.5-170000 yuan / ton, europium oxide down to 21.5-225000 yuan / ton and yttrium oxide down to 20.5-215000 yuan / ton. Among the listed prices announced today, only gadolinium oxide has been reduced to 170000 yuan per ton, and other varieties are flat compared with the previous period. Heavy rare earths are expected to remain weak and stable in the short term, and the lower part is affected by the supply side. There is support for prices.

Ex-China Rare Earth Projects Advancing Intensively, Pr-Nd Prices Driven Up by Tight Supply [SMM Rare Earth Ex-China Weekly Review]
This week, the ex-China rare earth market exhibited a trend of accelerated project deployment and price divergence. Price-wise, affected by undersupply in China, prices of praseodymium oxide, neodymium oxide, and corresponding metals rose notably, while other light rare earth and heavy rare earth prices remained generally stable. In terms of trading, Pr-Nd exports declined, and exports of heavy rare earths such as dysprosium and terbium remained restricted. Ex-China developments were active: US-based USA Rare Earth completed its first commercial yttrium metal casting and established a partnership with France's Carester; Japan launched a rare earth magnet recycling initiative for air conditioning compressors; Brazil's Aclara confirmed the commissioning plan for the Carina project in 2028; Canada's Neo achieved a breakthrough in terbium-dysprosium separation in Estonia; meanwhile, resource volumes in Finland, Alaska, Greenland, and other regions expanded significantly; Australia and the US provided financing for critical minerals projects; China's export controls raised European supply chain concerns; and Malaysian civil society organizations opposed the supply agreement between Lynas and the US Department of National Defense.

[SMM Rare Earth Outside China] US rare earth producer USA Rare Earth (USAR) has produced commercial-grade yttrium metal through its wholly-owned subsidiary Less Common Metals (LCM). It is reported that the purity of the yttrium metal produced this time is between 99-99.5%. USAR acquired LCM in September 2025 for $125 million. LCM has a metal manufacturing capacity of 1,500 mt/year and plans to increase its rapid-solidification permanent magnet strip casting capacity by 26,000 mt/year in the UK, US, and France by 2030.

Swedish Mining Project Under Fire Over Indigenous Land Rights
According to Reuters, Swedish mining company LKAB is facing criticism after a report suggested its planned rare earths project near Kiruna could violate Sámi Indigenous rights. The deposit is estimated at around 1.2 billion tonnes of ore, containing about 2.2 million tonnes of rare earth elements, but the mine could interfere with traditional reindeer herding routes. The project is likely to face legal and social challenges as tensions rise between mineral development and Indigenous land use.
