Domestic output of PrNd oxide in May 2023 stood at 5,741 mt, down 3.6% MoM. Among them, the output in Guangxi, Shandong and Sichuan was significantly reduced, and the output in other regions remained basically the same as in April.
According to SMM survey, at present, the spot supply of rare earth oxides is insufficient, and the sellers were more reluctant to sell. Quotations were relatively firm. Although downstream PrNd alloy factories were reluctant to accept high-priced spot goods due to losses, sellers refused to lower prices and it was still difficult to purchase low-priced goods. Due to the shrinking profits of rare earth ore, the sellers held back goods.
Some separation plants also slightly reduced production due to the tightening of raw materials. The production of PrNd oxide in Sichuan decreased 16% MoM, and 14% in Shandong. PrNd oxide output in Guangxi dropped 9% MoM.
