Rare earth market update on June 17, 2025
The domestic rare earth market has remained in a sideways trend overall, with low trading activity and no significant price fluctuations due to traders largely maintaining rigid, demand-driven transactions. As of today, the prices of neodymium oxide, erbium oxide, and holmium oxide are approximately RMB 450,000/ton, RMB 305,000/ton, and RMB 520,000/ton, respectively.
On the positive side, two key factors are supporting the market. First, production costs remain high, overseas rare earth prices have surged (with prices of certain products like dysprosium and terbium rising over 200% in the past two months), and the downstream rare earth industry has a promising development outlook, all contributing to suppliers' low willingness to offer discounts. Second, given that rare earth prices are currently at low levels and downstream demand remains weak, the pace of production expansion among rare earth mining and smelting enterprises has slowed.
On the downside, there are also several challenges. First, China's rare earth exports are subject to restrictions. Second, with relatively ample spot supply in the market and tight cash flow among downstream enterprises, demand growth remains limited.
In related news, China Securities Index Co., Ltd. recently announced the annual adjustment of the CSI A50, A100, and A500 index constituents. Notably, Northern Rare Earth was added to the CSI A50 Index for the first time. This inclusion signifies further recognition of Northern Rare Earth's market leadership and brand value influence in the capital market as a leading enterprise in the rare earth industry.
