Rare earth prices rebound or continuation but the strength is still observed

Recent rare earth prices rebounded, mainly due to production cuts and the fight against the illicit production and protect the price for. We believe that the current round of rare-earth prices rebound or will continue for some time, but not with the 2011 increase that round skyrocketing compared.

Recent rare earth prices rise bottom. Where: light rare earth (including: lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium) rebounded by 5% -10%; heavy rare earth (including: terbium, dysprosium, , erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium , scandium, yttrium) rebounded by 20% -30%. In terms of geographical distribution, the light rare earths are concentrated in the north and the heavy rare earth concentrated in the south.

Rare earth prices rebound this round main reasons: 1) since late June, Jiangxi Ganzhou campaign against "black earth" special action; 2) there is news that the Ministry of brewing promote RE downstream applications market policies, while the United multiministerial increase the comprehensive governance "black earth" efforts; 3) leading the Baotou Rare Earth rare Northern announced starting from July 1 cut half of its rare earths processing plant.

We believe that the current round of price increases or rare earths will continue for some time, but not with the 2011 increase that round skyrocketing compared. The main reason is: The current demand for downstream demand remained weak, especially magnetic materials, market expectations of future downstream demand is also very cautious, so cut down on illegal production and protect the price of price support efforts will be weakened. While in 2011 the entire earth relatively stable market supply and demand, policy stimulus has greatly improved and the market is expected to push up the market price.
 
A) a clear cut half a means to protect the price, but also reflects the demand is expected for the second half of the earth is poor; 2) Stop are active practices have been available raw materials inventory it will not affect the production plan; 3) speculate on the possible and promote the Northern restructuring related to: December 27 this year, "rare earth upstream business integration and restructuring framework agreement" will expire, if not before signing a formal agreement, restructuring fails. Select Mineral discontinued six months can effectively reduce the amount of concentrate supply, its effect is similar to water and electricity, is conducive to the smooth progress of restructuring.

For the United States intends to exploit indigenous imposed on China Rare Earth

U.S. media broke the news that the United States some members mulls bill requiring the government to allow to increase domestic rare earth mining. U.S. Lawmakers said the move primarily to reduce dependence on Chinese rare earths to protect U.S. national security.

Under the Act, the U.S. approval authority must be made within 30 months of approval not to be unreasonably delaying approval. The debate in the House Rules Committee on Modi by explaining the purpose of the Bill, said the bill put forward is based on national security considerations and economic recovery.

Moment, pushing America to expand domestic rare earth mining behind the main factors: First, the market demand is huge. REE is manufactured rockets, computers, stealth aircraft, LED fluorescent tubes, and many other products indispensable raw materials. More importantly, rare earth manufacturing energy saving products is an important raw material, the United States to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, imported from overseas can not meet their own needs. "Forbes" magazine said the United States is sitting on the world's proven reserves of 15% of the earth, but the yield was less than 1% of the world, resulting in this production capacity and reserves within the United States do not match demand and is mainly due to government restrictions the exploitation of rare earth resources.

Second, out of its own military security considerations. United States, "Defense News" that the United States needed to develop sophisticated weapons, mostly from China Rare Earth and China to strengthen management of rare earth exports will likely threaten the United States military capabilities. U.S. military, military industrial enterprises and energy exploration companies have been used as a reason to lobby the government and Congress to expand the exploitation of local rare earth resources.

Third, control of the initiative in the field of rare earth new materials. Currently, rare earth new materials in the field of intellectual property rights for the United States and Europe are the main control. But with the rapid development of China's rare earth industry in China in the field of R & D capabilities on the rise. U.S. experts have put forward, in order to lead the development of rare earth new materials in the field, the United States must be an appropriate increase in extraction and mining, processing to achieve greater technological breakthroughs.

Fourth, for the technological development of the industry ahead of the layout. America's current pace of economic growth has returned, some of the new technologies to achieve breakthrough innovation led by the economic boom in the United States may once again appear. Moment, information technology, biotechnology and other technologies of the future will be the United States focus of industrial development, and rare is the application of these technologies provides the important basic materials. U.S. Magnetic Materials Association reported that rare earth mining the main issues, namely, the high cost of mining is very difficult to extract, the second is environmental pollution, to large-scale mining of rare earth resources in the United States, need to establish a chain, but it will take time . To meet the great development of the technology industry, the United States need ahead of the layout, and establish a domestic rare earth supply chain.

U.S. exports of rare earths on Chinese management practices dissatisfaction and concerns have not been eliminated in China on the issue of rare earth put more pressure on China to relax Rare management measures. The Chinese may be necessary to protect resources and environment considerations, continue to adhere to the current rare earth mining and export management measures. In the rare earth issue, Sino-US new collision and friction will be inevitable.

MIIT regulation of rare earth industry, major efforts

Recently, there is news that the State Ministry of many ministries to jointly conduct nationwide Rare remediation work, the current regulation scheme has entered the stage countersigned by the various ministries. It is understood that this regulation is still rare to combat the "black" rare earth-based, but the "anti" scope and intensity will be more than in past years.

In May this year, the Ministry had proposed a "new round of rare earths to rectify." After this, the first to Ganzhou rare earth industry consolidation: to develop a "Ganzhou Rare Earth Mining order rectification and supervision special action program." Ganzhou Rare Earth industry for remediation has launched nationwide Rare remediation work to lay a critical foundation.

Investment Advisor in the metallurgical industry researcher Yuan Zhibin that since smelting and separation capacity higher than the national overall targets stipulated rare earth mining, once the private mine checked, some lack of resources smelting companies may be forced to stop separation, while some companies have likely to accept higher prices of other rare earth ore. Meanwhile, the rectification work carried out will also allow traders to hoard goods will gradually strengthened, conduction through the layers after the rare earth industry for the whole industry chain will also be presented in terms of price expectations.

Insiders expect this year with the Ministry of illegal mining of rare earth remediation efforts to further strengthen the relevant cut-off will probably be able to further increase the total amount, which is to eliminate unhealthy competition in the entire industry, the formation of a large group of rare earth and other aspects can play a certain effect.

"For listed companies, involved in mining business performance is expected to be substantially improved, and as the demand for the downstream industry chain has not yet appeared significantly improved, so this will result in not involving mining companies there is a big operating results uncertainty. "Yuan Zhibin representation.

MIIT vice minister Su Bo had previously noted that the large enterprise groups to effectively assume rational development and utilization of resources, environmental protection, leading rare earth industry transformation and upgrading of responsibility, completely changed the industry scattered, chaotic, and poor production patterns, improve the rare earth industry core competitiveness .

East African countries of rare earth resources development short and long term interests of the game

Kotak Canadian mining company recently announced that the coastal Kwale district in Kenya found that approximately $ 62.4 billion worth of rare earth ore reserves. If this result is correct, Kenya will become the world's rare earth reserves, one of the five countries, and is expected to join with neighboring Tanzania, a rare earth exporter ranks.

Kenya and Tanzania, the newly discovered rare earth resources lead to world attention. For two people, how can the victims rather than the beneficiaries of a resource is their top concern, while the two biggest problems facing the government is how sustainable development and use of this resource, allowed better for the country's economic development and people's living standards improve services.

Throughout the world, China is relatively rich rare earth resources in the world. Currently, 23% of China's rare earth resources to bear more than 90% of the world market supply, to become the world's largest rare earth production, application and exporter. Analysts pointed out that China-Africa cooperation in the context of increasingly close, China has since the 1950s in the development of rare earth industry has accumulated rich experience and lessons to learn from the two African countries.

The first is the establishment of technical applications supporting industries, strengthen technology research and application of rare earth local talents. 1960s, because rare earth production, backward technology, low-cost Chinese export to foreign countries only rare earth mine, and then high-priced imports of rare earth products, the grim reality forced the Chinese have in the next few decades to intensify the development of rare earth separation and purification technologies. And this experience is in many African countries currently has the resources staged development process. History tells us that, for newly discovered rare earth minerals in Kenya and Tanzania, the collection of royalties or blindly exports are not the best way to develop this resource. To achieve sustainable development and utilization of rare earth minerals, the two departments should pay attention to the surrounding area through investment in supporting the establishment of mineral rare earth production and application of technology companies, such as household appliances, smart phones, computer manufacturers, etc., so that not only can solve the local labor force, but also to reap economic benefits while in training local skilled workers. Correspondingly, the relevant departments should be long-term perspective, institutions of higher learning in the country to strengthen local production and application of rare talents.

The second is to enact clear responsibilities, the details of a comprehensive laws and regulations, strict rare earth mining and production industry, access management, to control the rare earth mining process of environmental pollution. Rare earth mining, processing, separation and other aspects of the vegetation may be severely damaged, resulting in soil erosion, soil, surface water and groundwater contamination, crop production even crops. Some rare earth mine in the smelting, separation process will produce large amounts of toxic and hazardous gases, radioactive waste and other contaminants. Therefore, for these two African countries to develop policies protective mining of rare earth resources, production and environmental protection standards, a clear separation of rare earth smelting enterprise product quality, process equipment, production scale, environmental protection and other aspects of access requirements, rare earth industry to develop environmental risk assessment system is a priority.

Third, you should avoid over-exploitation, the establishment of strategic reserves of rare earth. Any resource has exhausted one day, not to mention the "rare earth" belonged "rare" resource. After half a century of mining super strength, China declining reserves of rare earth resources. Kenya and Tanzania to avoid this over-development of the old, you need to develop rare earth resources, while establishing strategic reserves of rare earth, rare earth resources will be included in a certain proportion of the reserves are not allowed exploitation of resources by the central government on the implementation of the enterprise resource reserves to give subsidies.

Analysts pointed out that mineral development is always relative short-term benefits and long-term interests of the game between: exports are short-term interests, and the interests of a long-term strategic reserve; resource development is a short-term interests, and environmental protection are long-term benefits; investment is short-term benefits and personnel training is the long-term interests. How do the two balanced accommodation, in particular short-term interests to avoid being kidnapped while working to achieve the country's long-term sustainable development, it is including Kenya, Tanzania, including many African countries need to face the important issue.

Rare concept remediation program intensified across the board gains across the board

Recently there have been news that the Ministry intends to carry out the national ministries and commissions jointly earth remediation work, the current regulation scheme has entered the stage countersigned by the various ministries. It is understood that this regulation is still rare to combat the "black" rare earth-based, but the "anti" scope and intensity will be more than in past years. Market analysts believe that this will further support the rare-earth prices, sending positive for the two markets. The two markets, rare earth stocks across the board gains across the board on Tuesday, Minmetals Rare Earth, Sheng and resources opening soon a strong limit.

The background of the national regulation of rare earth in July and August of 2011, rare earth prices began to fall sharply, fell when the highest price discount for each purchase, so that a person wonder Baotou Steel Rare Earth, rare earth prices have dropped the cost of production. Rare earth is an important strategic mineral resources, China's largest producer of rare earth, rare earth production once reached 95 percent of global supply, with rare earth prices skyrocketing unfavorable, as prices plummeted rare condition, the same is not conducive to the healthy development of rare earth industry chain .

Back in May, the Ministry had proposed a "new round of rare earths to rectify." After this, the first to Ganzhou rare earth industry consolidation, Ganzhou City to develop a "Ganzhou Rare Earth Mining order rectification and supervision special action program" for the rare earth industry in Ganzhou has conducted nationwide Rare remediation remediation work done Well, an important foundation. And Ganzhou Rare Earth campaign has an immediate effect on the market since June 20 has been ushered in nearly a month of rare earth prices continued to rise. According to statistics, since mid-June, the representative of the heavy rare earth dysprosium and terbium oxide species prices rose 19% to 25%, and dysprosium iron also rose by 22%; light rare earth neodymium praseodymium oxide species representative of the mainstream transaction price yesterday price 32 ~ 330,000, compared with 250,000 before the start price / ton, up 30%. Analysts believe that with the campaign deepening of rare earth prices rebound will receive strong support.

Su Bo, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry recently participated in the rare earth industry conference, said that this year, the State Council, relevant departments will take more stringent measures to crack down on illegal production of rare earths, black market and other special rectification, and resolutely deal with a number of typical cases; and further implement local government regulatory responsibility, enterprises and local resolutely against illegal deduction plan targets, strict accountability. For the rare earth industry regulation, Su Bo, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry had also noted that the large enterprise groups to effectively assume rational development and utilization of resources, environmental protection, leading rare earth industry transformation and upgrading of responsibility, completely changed the industry scattered, chaotic, and poor production patterns to improve the core competitiveness of China's rare earth industry.

Since smelting and separation capacity than state regulations generally rare earth mining target, once the private mine checked, some lack of resources smelting companies may be forced to stop separation, while some companies are also likely to receive higher and other rare earth minerals. Meanwhile, the rectification work carried out will also allow traders to hoard goods will gradually increase in conduction through the layers after the rare earth industry for the whole industry chain will also be presented in terms of price expectations. Industry insiders estimate that this year with the Ministry on the issue in the renovation of the rare earth industry to further strengthen, off the total amount will probably be able to stop further rise, which the entire industry to eliminate unhealthy competition, the formation of a large group of rare earth and other aspects can play a certain role . For listed companies, involved in mining business performance is expected to be substantially improved.

Rare earth prices is not demand-driven market outlook is not optimistic

The rare earth prices rose appears, is not the real needs of the downstream pull, mainly because look at a few reasons: First, the state of illegal mining and refining of rare earth products to increase efforts to crack down the illegal exploitation of mineral and separation of smelting companies have discontinued, illegal a significant reduction in the supply of rare earth products; Second, rare earth prices after two years of decline, has been close to the cost line, the industry generally believe has bottomed out, not much room for further declines; Third, pre-earth prices continue to fall enterprises downstream applications did not replenish stocks, with the production of normal consumption, downstream firms will buy some more or less raw materials; fourth, that the rare-earth prices, did not rule out the possibility of speculation, rare opportunity to uplift product prices.

Currently, rare earth price gains have slowed down, with shipments increasing willingness to hold stocks, but no volume shipments of practical action. If the market was a lot Paohuo downstream start receiving goods, then the price of rare earth products may also stable and slightly higher, if the downstream continue hesitation, no pick-up, then the price of rare earth products will likely be a new round of fall.

Next period of time, rare earth prices go, first decide on the downstream demand, the demand if we can steady growth driven by demand, rare earth prices will show steady growth. But from the current domestic and international economic environment, manufacturing weak downstream demand growth in a short time is difficult to recover. In the case of weak demand growth, the continuity of national policy is crucial, if the country can be sustained crackdown, avoid sports-style action, then by the national policy stimulus, rare earth prices will likely continue to stabilize over time If national policy enforcement to relax, then do not rule out rare earth prices will likely continue to decline in the market a new round.
