Overall, due to insufficient orders from downstream industries, magnet enterprises have weak purchasing willingness. Inquiry activity across the rare earth market is relatively subdued, and prices show no significant fluctuations. It is anticipated that in the short term, unless downstream order conditions improve, there will be limited room for rare earth prices to rise.
December 15 News:
Today, rare earth market prices operated stably. Specifically, in the oxide market, praseodymium-neodymium oxide prices remained stable at 578,000 – 580,000 yuan/ton, dysprosium oxide prices held steady at 1.36 – 1.38 million yuan/ton, terbium oxide prices were adjusted down to 6.24 – 6.28 million yuan/ton, and gadolinium oxide prices were stable at 158,000 – 160,000 yuan/ton; holmium oxide prices remained at 494,000 – 496,000 yuan/ton, while erbium oxide prices continued to fluctuate between 350,000 – 354,000 yuan/ton.
In the metal market, praseodymium-neodymium metal prices were stable at 700,000 – 710,000 yuan/ton, dysprosium-iron alloy prices held firm at 1.30 – 1.32 million yuan/ton, terbium metal offers were lowered to 7.76 – 7.80 million yuan/ton, gadolinium-iron alloy prices remained at 153,000 – 155,000 yuan/ton, holmium-iron market prices were stable at 498,000 – 505,000 yuan/ton, and lanthanum-cerium metal prices continued to hold steady between 17,000 – 19,000 yuan/ton.
Currently, rare earth market prices are generally stable, and market activity is relatively calm. Regarding the praseodymium-neodymium market, due to limited new orders received by magnet enterprises and low purchasing enthusiasm, inquiry activity is subdued. Metal enterprises also show relatively low willingness to offer prices, resulting in an overall poor transaction climate. Performance in the oxide market is similarly sluggish, with holders predominantly adopting a wait-and-see approach and maintaining stable quotations. The medium-to-heavy rare earth market has seen slight price increases for some products influenced by market news; however, for dysprosium and terbium products, holders maintain a strong cautious stance, and their offer prices have not shown significant changes.
Overall, due to insufficient downstream orders and weak purchasing willingness from magnet enterprises, inquiry activity across the rare earth market is light, and prices show no pronounced fluctuations. It is expected that in the short term, if downstream order conditions do not improve, there will be limited room for rare earth prices to rise.
