After the beginning of uncertainty, market participants gradually adapt to the new regulatory regime, the recent demand for Chinese rare earth has been warmer.

Subject to change and the impact of the export license export port restrictions, January sluggish demand overseas Chinese rare earths, rare earths and February exports increased by 24% to 2052 tons, January exports fell 49% to 1,457 tonnes.

In mid-February until the end of the Chinese New Year holiday, Chinese exporters shipped more concentrated, more contract in January or early February to sign, thus increasing the amount of rare earth export in February. January is also due to weaker demand in the coming Chinese New Year, Chinese exporters to suspend operations until the end of the holiday.

Meanwhile, China's rare earth export market is the new force, which has to a certain extent, pushed up exports in February. It is understood that many not previously export of rare earth producers and traders at the end of January and early February successfully applied to the export license and has started exporting.

In addition, China has increased efforts to combat illegal rare earths, China's export market is therefore subject to support. According to traders, said consumer business has been very difficult for them to low-cost procurement of illegal rare earth resources. October 2014, China's Ministry of Public Security and other eight ministries rare special action has been officially launched and will end March 31, 2015, relating to public safety, taxation and environmental safety and other aspects, the pooling of resources, to prevent illegal trade.

January 2015, China Guangdong Public Security Bureau of Shenzhen Customs union, Huizhou City, smuggling run, Xiamen, Beaconsfield, Huangpu, Nanchang and Hohhot Customs Bureau, and organized large-scale smuggling operation.

Recently, the first batch of rare earth total control of China's Ministry of Industry announced an increase in 2015, while activity will continue to combat illegal rare earth, which are imported from China to bring a lot of comfort to the rare earth companies.

China's first batch of rare earth ore control a total of 52,500 tons, the total smelting and separation products for 50,050 tons, an increase of 12% and 10.6%, respectively. China is consolidating and the separation of rare earth mining companies for the six Rare Earth Group, and will be completed by the end. The payment of the total rare earth control showed preferential policies for large rare earth enterprises.

However, China's imports of rare earth enterprises are still relatively cautious orders. Many importers believe in China in May after eliminating tariffs which will arrive in a more muffled purchase price, but also expressed concern about the impact of China's resource tax reform on prices of recent weeks, some enterprises began stocking.

Earlier there was news that China resource tax reform program will be announced in March, and then up to now have not yet released any further information.

Today, most of the rare earth market products market continues to trend lower steady or trend down, although there are a small number of businesses that deal, but the transaction prices, as the supplier of Ganzhou just left two tons of grass Shen praseodymium oxide, but the transaction price dropped 405,000 yuan / ton. In addition, the business of erbium, dysprosium offer also fell due to the mainstream market coupled with weak demand, continue downward adjustment.

Recently yttrium, europium oxide single market, fewer inquiries recent rally has not significantly affected the wave of yttrium, europium, prices subject to supply and demand constraints, inability to rise, the current high price in yttria 4-4.2 yuan / ton, Europium oxide price in 1800 yuan / kg. Europium oxide lowest point this year in mid-January or so, when europium oxide with a ticket offer individual businesses even in 1600 yuan / kg, though the current price is the lowest level, but still partial bottom level, may still be in the long-term shock level position within the interval.

Currently erbium market demand for light, not as good as the pre-inquiry, traders offer from 26.5-27 yuan / ton in succession down to about 255,000 now, with larger decreases, the frequency of price adjustment is also faster. Dysprosium products prices back to levels before the current price of dysprosium has dropped below 1.8 million yuan, according to a trader Ganzhou dysprosium now reflect with tickets only 176 yuan / ton. Also praseodymium neodymium products recently also caused large fluctuations in the downstream market inquiries and concerns, but businesses inquiry only wait and see, procurement cautious.

Hohhot Customs announced on the 19th, in February 2015, Inner Mongolia increase in volume and a drop in price of rare earth exports, export 660 tons, an increase of about 30% over last year (below), but the average export price fell by half.

China is the world's most abundant rare earth resources in the country. Inner Mongolia is China's "Rare Earth province." Especially located in Baotou Bayan Obo iron, niobium, rare earth deposits in symbiosis, not only rare earth reserves in the world, and high REE contents, many kinds of great industrial value.

According to Hohhot Customs data show that in February 2015, 660.8 tons of rare earth export Inner Mongolia, an increase of 30.8% over last year; the value of 23.731 million yuan, down 35.7 percent; the average export price of 36,000 yuan per ton, down 50.7%.

Reporters learned that the United States is the main export market for rare earths, Inner Mongolia, exports to Japan have increased slightly. Where ninety percent of exports from the big city of Baotou Rare Earth.

Hohhot Customs noted that the global supply of rare earth diversified horizon, other rare earth resources in the country except China will resume rare earth mining and smelting. 37 countries and regions, 261 companies have launched or brewing 429 RE projects in 2013 to form a production capacity of 55,000 tons, is expected to reach 170,000 tons in 2015.

Hohhot Customs also said that if the foreign project into production as planned, the world's rare earth supply from China single supply situation gradually changed the pattern of diversified supply China, the US, Australia and other countries. It is estimated that 30% of foreign projects by computing capacity, the next two years, China's rare earth smelting products or global market share will decline to 65 percent in 2015, the absolute number dropped to 105,000 tons, the world's rare earth production at about 16 million tons.

Currently RE market has stabilized and down, the market reversed last week, praseodymium, neodymium, dysprosium products at current prices continue to decline. Reduce the current RE market rose varieties, individual product pricing up, such as neodymium oxide Quotes steady rise, some businesses offer 33 million or more, reflecting the price rose mainly because of demand, the supply is tight and factory stock. Currently Pan Asia also traded neodymium oxide, the latest total inventory is displayed as 30 tons, Pan Asia's involvement, or on the current price of neodymium oxide plays a supporting role.

Dysprosium products prices also continued to fall, dysprosium oxide is generally lower than the current 1.85 million, already low at around 1.8 million yuan / ton, dysprosium iron price declines similar to the current offer fell below 1.85 million. The same low prices as well as to run gadolinium products, currently gadolinium oxide and gadolinium iron or stable or fall, have lower offer basic range of 2-4 thousand Yuan / ton, plus the lack of favorable policies to attract capital capacity is insufficient, from last year Since the latter part of the fourth quarter, gadolinium oxide and gadolinium iron is in the range of shocks, if demand does not improve in the short term, the price is more difficult to go high.

Praseodymium, neodymium products, Monday offers from businesses over the weekend continued to fall -1 5,000 yuan / ton, lower offer at 39 yuan / ton, higher at 410,000 yuan / ton. Praseodymium, neodymium price rises have 2-3 thousand Yuan / ton, some not until high shipping businesses reduce psychological expectations, offer slightly callback, the current high price of neodymium oxide, praseodymium at 320,000, lower at 310,000 / ton.

In recent years, China's rare earth export volume has been lower than the export quota, so the move did not abolish export quotas for rare earth in China's export volume and prices fluctuate too much. In the international market of rare earth, rare earth export tariff abolition became the focus of attention.

Earlier, Japan, the United States and the European Union believes that China's rare earth export quota measures violate WTO (WTO) agreements against China. In August 2014 the WTO ruled that China lost. Affected by China canceled the export quota.

Rare earth elements can be used in hybrid vehicles (HV) price of neodymium magnet motor is almost no change in the last two years. The current price for one kilogram 90 to $ 100. Only about one fifth in 2011 when the highest price of rare earth. Chinese rare earth export quota in 2014 was about 30,000 tons. Many view, even if you cancel the limit, "the demand side purchases hardly changed."

Market stakeholders are more concerned about the dynamic export tariffs and export quotas set simultaneously. Currently, rare earth will be imposed tariffs of 15 to 25 percent of exports from China. But this is considered a violation of the WTO Agreement, so many opinions expected as early as the rare earth export tariffs will cancel this spring.

If the elimination of export tariffs will decline in international prices of rare earth appear. With regard to future developments, Japanese metals companies Advanced Material Japan Shigeo Nakamura, president of China's rare earth export tariffs are expected to be canceled in around May, he estimated that "rare earth prices will decline slowly."

In addition, there has been stationed in China to expand production and sales of rare earth magnets dynamic. Hitachi Metals February negotiations with Chinese companies on a joint venture to reach a consensus. Previously Hitachi Metals has been producing rare earth magnets in Japan and the US, but the company believes that the establishment of production bases in China "for the procurement of raw materials essential to deal with future demand growth."

Many view, the Chinese government will be "resource tax" and "environmental tax" instead of export duties and other taxes. However, even the introduction of new taxes in China, but the cancellation of export tariffs, expected purchase price of Chinese enterprises and the import prices of Japanese companies will be almost non-existent price difference.

For motor magnet field strength superior technology Japanese companies, which will help to improve price competitiveness. The class of motors, expected future demand growth in China will surpass Japan. About where to set up production bases in the future, how to purchase, focusing reduce production costs, Japanese companies will become more diverse in the way.
