I. Analysis of China Rare Earth Price Trends in October 2025
According to CTIA GROUP LTD, in October 2025, the price trends of mainstream light and heavy rare earth products in China continued the downward momentum from late September, primarily due to lackluster downstream demand during the "Golden September and Silver October" consumption peak season, coupled with a complex and volatile global economic environment, making it difficult for many suppliers to stabilize prices. In October, terbium oxide prices decreased by approximately 6.38%, praseodymium oxide by approximately 10.32%, neodymium oxide by approximately 12.50%, dysprosium oxide by approximately 1.86%, dysprosium-iron alloy by approximately 2.55%, praseodymium-neodymium oxide by approximately 2.68%, and praseodymium-neodymium metal by approximately 2.92%.
