Rare earth market update on April 22, 2025
The domestic rare earth market in China continues to operate weakly, mainly reflected in slight price declines for some products, low enthusiasm among traders for market operations, and a scarcity of new orders. Today, prices for praseodymium-neodymium metal, gadolinium oxide, and terbium oxide dropped by approximately 2,000 yuan/ton, 3,000 yuan/ton, and 80 yuan/kg, respectively. Industry players are currently focused on the demand dynamics of magnetic material companies and the announcement of the first batch of rare earth mining quotas for this year.
According to CTIA GROUP LTD, the reasons for the recent decline in prices of mainstream light and heavy rare earth products include: first, prolonged weak demand from downstream users; second, the depletion of positive factors that previously supported rare earth price increases, leading to reduced market speculation; third, the current high rare earth selling prices combined with limited liquidity, resulting in cautious purchasing behavior. However, due to the rigid support of production costs, suppliers are generally maintaining rational pricing.
