Rare earth market update on April 29, 2025
Domestic rare earth prices in China are consolidating within a reasonable range, with praseodymium oxide at approximately 433,000 yuan/ton, gadolinium oxide at 163,000 yuan/ton, and dysprosium oxide at 1,600,000 yuan/ton. Market activity remains subdued, with few new orders. On the positive side, strong production cost support and tightening supply of certain products have reduced suppliers' willingness to offer discounts. On the negative side, the upcoming May Day holiday and tight liquidity have led buyers to adopt a cautious procurement strategy.
