China to strengthen management of the rare earth industry both to meet international market demand for rare earths can reasonably protect their environment and resources and strive to achieve win-win situation, which is a reasonable return to the global supply of rare earth, based on the policy of sustainable development, in line with WTO the rules should not be reduced to the West an excuse to fight a trade war.

U.S., EU, Japan and other three kinds of raw materials for rare earth export tariffs, export quotas and other management measures proposed to China at the invitation consultations, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology committee member, chief engineer Zhu Ren in Office held a press conference answering reporters that the Chinese government has taken a series of policy measures is entirely for the protection of resources, environment and sustainable development needs of rare earth mining, production, environmental protection and other sectors have also taken a synchronization management measures are consistent with WTO rules.

Currently listing price of rare earth market has been released , the situation has similarities with the same period last year , released last year, following the number of enterprises listed by the love after rare-earth prices rose sharply. Although the price is not listed enterprise storage price , but still lead to better market expectations. Currently vendors offer a smooth or slight increase , the market yet stable.

Currently , according to Baotou manufacturers reflect , lanthanum, cerium oxide and metal prices are not big adjustment , current prices have been low, and demand no pick up, prices down space is limited. According to the manufacturer revealed that the recent market prices of rare earth carbonate slightly lower than the mid to late 10 $ 1,000 / ton, yet rose significantly . The battery grade mixed rare earth prices manufacturers offer more than 10 at the end of the raised five thousand dollars / ton, the price at 140,000 yuan / ton.

Praseodymium oxide market, has some listed prices are 600,000 yuan / ton, while the current market traders offer at 580,000 yuan / ton , the recent market price did not change too obvious .

Today adjustments in prices of some products , such as partial praseodymium neodymium vendors continue to raise the price to 43-43.5 yuan / ton , compared with yesterday raised $ 5,000 / ton. Neodymium oxide, praseodymium prices stable or slightly increase the current $ 5,000 / ton. Today, some suppliers Ganzhou gadolinium oxide with raised ticket prices to 175,000 yuan / ton, while according to others in the industry reflects the actual price of gadolinium oxide did not change much .

Dysprosium oxide prices fell more rapidly rising volatility , expected by the market to the good and the actual needs of the limited impact of the current part of the holding cargo ship then consider first wait and see , but it will not have too high expectations, can

Following the Baotou Rare Earth publicly listed on the official website after the price of rare earth oxides , rare earth aluminum , Rising colored two companies have recently listed on its official website the price of rare earth oxides . Insiders speculate publicly listed manufacturer of large rare earth prices or state purchasing and storage of rare earth precursor . At the same time , A-share market price of rare earth sector have risen recently .

According quote form, listing the inclusion of rare earth oxides , including oxide, praseodymium oxide , neodymium oxide, dysprosium and other nine species, the number of varieties released more than Baotou rare earth, rare earth aluminum . November 1 , the aluminum rare earth oxide released a total of seven kinds of varieties ; Baotou Steel Rare Earth on October 31 released only four kinds of rare earth oxides .

Currently, the three companies listed oxide, praseodymium oxide , neodymium oxide, praseodymium neodymium and europium oxide prices more similar and were higher than the market price.

It is understood that the public listing price of rare earth oxides from the last year has been publicly listed . November 13, 2012 , Baotou Steel Rare earth prices listed within one month after three times increase in purchase price of rare earth oxides , during the national implementation of the rare earths purchasing and storage .

In accordance with past practice , the state purchasing and storage of rare earth rare earth enterprises mainly commissioned large , rare earth enterprises about a month in advance of rare earth products acquired from the open market , then the acquisition of rare earth products will be owned and sold to National Material Reserve .

Dysprosium oxide is also included in the recent acquisition of the plan , and the rare earth oxide price volatility this year , once a single month or up to 70%. According to the listing price , the aluminum rare offer of 200 yuan / ton. Another source said Ganzhou Rare Earth Group's recent acquisition of dysprosium in the market , the purchase price is also similar to the above two . According to China Rare Earth Industry Association data , November 1 dysprosium quoted market price is 188 million to 200 yuan / ton.

Recent large-scale rare earth companies have disclosed the price of rare earth oxides , sparked speculation about purchasing and storage . In this regard, Baotou Steel Rare Earth International Trade , a company executive denied the company an insider said , the company reported a monthly price of foreign , working relationship with the state purchasing and storage is not.

Typically, large-scale acquisition of rare earth enterprises , followed by countries earth reserve, will generally result in reduced supply of short-term market , followed by rare earth prices. November 2012 , North and South rare earth companies have discontinued quote, followed by Baotou Steel Rare Earth , Minmetals Group and the color of shares involved in the rare earth reserve, state purchasing and storage work followed, XCMG has invested several hundred million boost Ganzhou Rare Earth Shouchu . In this context , some of the rare earths traders appeared reluctant sellers, store goods phenomenon , rare earth market prices stabilized. Data show that the end of the rare-earth prices rose an average over 50%.

In late October , the World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement panel to submit a preliminary ruling to the Chinese that support for Japan , the United States and the European Union on Chinese control of rare earth export tariffs violate WTO rules opinions. At the same time , the world's supply of rare earth diversified pattern has been formed , and hundreds more have been put into new projects is seeking to compete for the global rare earths market share. Reporters recently interviewed national experts learned that by the above two factors, China's rare earth products market will exacerbate the polarization of light rare earth products, or will encounter strong impact .

Full liberalization of domestic exports or

Institute of the Ministry of industrial raw materials CCID Institute Yuankai Hong told reporters that China lanthanum , cerium and other light rare natural reserves are relatively large excess phenomenon, and dysprosium, terbium and other heavy rare earths are scarce . Terbium , dysprosium is an important part of the permanent magnets , and more used in high-tech fields , substitutability small . Global reserves of heavy rare earth less gap, is a veritable scarce commodity . While 70 % of the heavy rare earths are located in China , which is also the world compete for the main reason for China's rare earth resources .

Rare senior experts , Inner Mongolia Rare Earth Co., Ltd. Huayi Vice Huyao Bin believe , WTO rare earths in favor of litigation is unlikely. In accordance with the dead convention, Chinese export products should be abolished for all taxes and fees, except as expressly provided . Annex to the Agreement listed rare earth tax rate of approximately 10%, which is the highest tariff charged at the standard of rare earth , while China 's rare earth export tariffs currently at 25%. In addition , in accordance with WTO rules , rare earth quotas have to be canceled. Practicing rare earth export quota license system since 1998, has more than 15 years , October 28 , the Ministry of Commerce announced the 2014 re- rare earth export quota reporting conditions and reporting procedures .

"In the case of full liberalization of exports , China's light rare earth market will usher in a more brutal competition in the market of rare earth severity of the two products will exacerbate polarization. " Huyao Bin says. Huyao Bin pointed out that the heavy rare earths , the lowering of tariffs and quotas will undoubtedly stimulate and expand the resource exploration and development , increasing environmental degradation origin ; LREE , domestic existing and new production capacity will be competing LREE release , market conditions or back into a few years ago appeared "cabbage price ."

However, Huyao Bin also told reporters that the next step, China will be advanced to the WTO Arbitration Commission further complains that even losing our country adjust to the new policy of export tariffs and quotas , as well as six months to one year grace period , that is rare tariffs, quotas may fully liberalized by 2015 at the latest .

Overseas expansion propelled polarization

Inner Mongolia University of Technology Dean Zhang Yin said rare earth , boosting capacity expansion abroad polarization .

Zhang Yin said, except for China , the world has more than 260 companies , more than 420 rare earth projects concentrated in the Americas , Europe and Africa , and the project mostly light rare earth -based, which will to some extent change the global pattern of light rare earth supply and demand . Statistical point of view , if the project has been put into all of overseas production , China's rare earth products will be 95% global market share dropped to 73% ; expansion of production again , this proportion dropped to 57%. If the completion of all construction projects in foreign countries of production, the proportion of China's rare earth supply Jiangzai dropped about 50%.

China Rare Earth Industry Association Secretary-General Ma Rongzhang said light rare earth products abroad, the cost advantage of China's light rare earths also weakened the international competitiveness . According to his analysis , the U.S. molybdenum company of rare earth products cost less than direct Baotou Steel Rare Earth , because the cut-off grade molybdenum mining company more than 9 percent , Baotou mine cut-off grade of only 5% , and molybdenum Our own gas-fired power plant , electricity cost is only 0.2 yuan / kWh. In addition, foreign light rare earth mine with scores better than the domestic . If you take into account the impact of export tariffs and quotas , domestic rare earth products are exported to the international market to increase by about 20% the cost . Global capacity expansion may lead to global light rare earth prices fell , while the heavy rare earth supply remains tight , which will exacerbate the severity of the situation of rare earth market rainbow night .

Experts suggest that promote balanced use

The severity of the polarization of the two major markets of rare earth products , adverse balanced development of the industry as a whole . In view of this , Ma Rongzhang proposal , government and corporate balance strongly promote the use of light and heavy rare earths . Lanthanum , cerium and other elements of an annual surplus surplus 30,000 ~ 50,000 tons , we should vigorously develop new markets, encourage lanthanum , cerium in the field of environmental protection , structural material in applications such as water purification , catalyst, UV protective glass, rare cast iron, steel, rare earth , rare earth magnesium , rare earth copper, rare earth and aluminum , combined with comprehensive development on the downstream industry chain . According to the current changes in domestic and foreign markets as well as rare earth

Reserves characteristics, there are other ways to take the severity of the focus control heavy rare earth exports .

General Manager Zhang said that Baotou Steel Rare Earth , Baotou Steel Rare Earth is the world's largest light rare earth suppliers , Chinese light rare earth export restrictions opens, will be fully integrated into the international market, facing fierce competition. He suggested that the current north-south several Rare Earth Group as soon as possible scientific management mode , allowing operators more in line with market rules . This is very beneficial not only for the industry regulator , also in line with market rules and WTO rules .

Although WTO rules do not support the number of Member States to restrict exports of high tariffs and setting behavior , but allows member states to manage exports through export qualification . A total of 17 species of rare earth , if he loses , China can also negotiate with foreign countries , first release the export of some varieties , namely light and heavy rare earth export of differentiated management , try to weaken the polarization impact on the domestic rare earth industry .

Yesterday, the Beijing Chinese Commercial News reporters Cong Baotou and Xi Tu Products Exchange Limited General Manager Gu Ming Chu confirmed, was postponed nearly three months on the country's first rare earth exchange into trial operation in November , " but the exact date has not been OK . "

Gu Ming said that at present , the rare earth exchange of software and hardware are ready , " is in the simulation run in the same time, the system is also under promotion . As for the specific cooperative enterprises, it is not yet revealed . "

According to the Beijing Daily reporter, rare earth Exchange born in August last year , which led by the Baotou Rare Earth , the other 11 central and local large enterprises jointly funded the establishment of rare earth , this is known as the first national rare earth trading platform , was seen as a rare earth industry consolidation in the industry an important carrier wave , was given "to increase market transparency earth , forming a fair, open and equitable prices of rare earth products " such as multiple tasks. However, the past year, the exchange has lagged because he has suffered hardware improvements , software and other immature shackles , was postponed on.

If oil is the God-given gift of the Middle East , China is undoubtedly rare gifts received . But recently heard of the World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement mechanism panel ruled that the interim report of the results , but for this " gift " cast a haze.

China has been a year and a half finally came news of rare international litigation , allegedly WTO dispute settlement mechanism expert support for the U.S. , Japan and the EU against Chinese rare earth export restrictions policy violations aspirations. Although the final report also require 1-2 months of time before the Foreign officially open , and the Ministry of Commerce , Ministry of Industry and the China Association of rare earth management departments and industry organizations were not confirmed to the outside , but on the 4th afternoon, the rare earth industry analyst economic Herald reporter on the edge Binbin said, " according to information at our disposal , in this country is indeed lost a lawsuit . "

After losing the right side is about to produce a great impact on the rare earth industry , while it is rare earth industry this year in the capital market of wind and water. Lost, bring in the end is the "disaster " or " consolidation opportunities " ?

Aggravate plight of the industry

Binbin in the side view, rare defeat in international litigation , means that China will be forced to the existing policy of rare earth export quota of rare earth export tariffs to be adjusted , " China's rare earth export controls may have to end . "

March 2012 , the United States , Japan and the EU has three trade disputes brought to the WTO claims that China against 17 ​​kinds of rare earths and tungsten, molybdenum export quotas and export duties and other restrictive measures imposed . After fruitless bilateral consultations , in September 2012 , set up by the WTO Director-General panel to adjudicate . Prior to 2011 , WTO had ruled China for bauxite, coke , magnesium and other 9 kinds of restrictions on exports of raw materials policy violation of WTO rules .

"Previously , China's rare earth industry has been a resource to earn by selling foreign exchange earnings , hence the ' cabbage price ' situation. Meanwhile, driven by profit , resulting in excessive export chaos . Based on this situation, the relevant state agencies to find ways to control and eventually taken to develop rare earth export quotas and other administrative means . "So , while Binbin that, once the elimination of export quotas of rare earth prices will once again be affected.

" may also appear again over- exploitation of resources , destruction of the environment , excessive export of such phenomena . A simple example , in the future , a large order of foreign rare earth in China is bound to cause intense competition between enterprises , triggering a price war , which will also result in the loss of low-cost domestic resources . Especially in the current environment, China's rare earth industry has not been fundamentally improved internal circumstances, forced open the industry is bound to exacerbate difficulties. " Edge Binbin said.

At present, China's rare earth industry's profitability situation is not optimistic. Data show that from January to August this year , China's rare earth mining and smelting industry realized main business income of 45 billion yuan , down 14.9 percent ; realized profits of only 3.2 billion yuan , down 62.1% ; rare earth products import and export trade $ 1.4 billion , down 39.4 percent .

It is reported that , in the face of international litigation unfavorable situation , management has been considered more flexible and rational policies instead of across the board, dogged terminal control , such as stress the importance of market allocation of ways to improve the role of mandatory production plan , through fiscal transfer payments rare earth resources to compensate reduction from the source to illegal mining of rare earth resources , overcapacity of power.

"As far as we know, a lot of long-term demand for rare earths are thinking of buying pushed back orders, once the export quotas , they will have a lot of bargaining space and objects , the price will be lower than it is now . " Edge Binbin representation .
