On September 4, the rare earth index was 377 points, up 2 points from yesterday, down 62.30% from the cyclical peak of 1000 points (2011-12-06), and up 39.11% from the lowest point of 271 on September 13, 2015. (Note: Period refers to 2011-12-01 to date).

The average price of Neodymium in rare earth metals increased by 5,000 yuan per ton from 4.065 million yuan per ton; dysprosium metal by 2.3 million yuan per ton; and praseodymium metal by 695,000 yuan per ton. The average price of praseodymium and neodymium oxide in rare earth oxides increased by 1500 yuan/ton to 325,000 yuan/ton; dysprosium oxide price was 191,000 yuan/ton; praseodymium oxide price was 382,500 yuan/ton; and neodymium oxide price was increased by 1500 yuan/ton to 325,000 yuan/ton. The price of praseodymium and neodymium alloys in rare earth alloys increased by 5,000 yuan/ton to 465,000 yuan/ton, while the average price of dysprosium-iron alloys was 1.91 million yuan/ton.

Recently, the price of light rare earth has been rising continuously, but the market price of heavy rare earth has remained stable, the domestic rare earth market has been generally trading, the price of dysprosium-terbium metal oxides has remained volatile, the inquiry list of praseodymium oxide has increased recently, and the price of light rare earth oxides has maintained an upward trend. At that time, light rare earth merchants in the field regretted it. Sales sentiment, bullish future market, recent on-site transactions in general. The supply of rare earth is normal in China. The price fluctuation of rare earth market is related to the national environmental protection supervision. Rare earth production has its particularity, especially the radiation hazards of some products, which make the environmental protection supervision stricter. Under stringent environmental protection inspection, rare earth separation enterprises in many provinces have stopped production, resulting in a general market input of rare earth oxides, especially some mainstream rare earth oxides, with normal supply and stable price trend in the rare earth market. Recently, large enterprise groups in the field are reluctant to sell. The market of rare earth oxides is general, but for products. Pricing major manufacturers are also cautious.

Recently, the national environmental protection department has made great efforts to investigate the rare earth industry, which has a great impact on the rare earth industry. The starting situation of the rare earth industry is relatively low, and the market is cold. In addition, the recent rectification of the rare earth industry in Jiangxi Province, a major province of rare earth production, has brought some favorable support to the rare earth market. Recently, the Development and Reform Commission and the relevant departments have stepped up effective measures to regulate the industry, innovate and improve the relevant management mechanism, accelerate the construction of a rational industrial structure, advanced scientific and technological level, effective protection of resources, orderly production and operation of the industry development pattern, and give full play to the special price of rare earth as a strategic resource. Meanwhile, the supply of raw ore resources in the upstream of the rare earth industry has shrunk, and people in the domestic market are waiting for the good news of the policy and national reserves.

Rare earth analysts of business associations expect that the domestic environmental stringency will not decrease in the near future, coupled with the domestic reorganization of the order of the rare earth industry, the supply of Jiangxi rare earth industry will be reduced, but the demand of rare earth downstream will be supported in the near future, and the price of some rare earth market is expected to rise.
