London (Metal-Pages) reported consumption of rare earth in Europe are currently multi-see attitude towards the next price movements, market participants return to the market after watching the price will change how the Chinese New Year holiday.

The market for light rare earths and heavy rare earths market outlook trends are differences, this sentiment has been reflected in the market price. In addition, part of the European consumer business also complained that the euro fell against the dollar, making their costs increased by about 10%.

Coincides with the Chinese New Year holiday, Chinese exporters to stop the current business, the European part of the rare earth prices have also been some changes. Erbium is currently quoted at $ 49-50 Europe / kg.

Market participants are also discussed in the March to see prices trend. Before the Spring Festival holiday, offer Erbium at $ 40-42 / kg, some traders believe prices will recover in a few weeks this price, because now the Port of Rotterdam is still in stock. Another Chinese traders are also expected to return to the market, to start a new round of offer.

Another part of the market is that the market in the next period of time will remain strong, mainly because of the larger China's State Reserve purchasing and storage expectations. There is no offer Erbium Europe.

Last week the price of cerium oxide is relatively strong, from $ 3.00-3.50 before / kg up to the current US $ 3.20-3.60 / kg, the main part of European buyers reluctant sellers wait for higher prices. This week a small number of transactions in the $ 3.20 / kg. However, industry sources said there is still quoted at $ 3.00 / kg, and the Port of Rotterdam inventory is still large.

Although the Chinese New Year holidays, as well as European exporters temporarily withdrawn from the market sellers try to push the market price, but the market has not yttria improved. Insiders pointed out that serious excess supply of yttrium oxide, and pointed out that as the development of LED lighting industry, led to weak demand for yttrium. LED lighting demand for rare earths is small.

European 2N samarium oxide prices currently remain at $ 7-7.5 / kg, while in November 2014, the price was down to $ 5 / kg.

Heavy rare earth market outlook is more optimistic, with the exception of yttrium market. Traders noted an increase in inquiries, a trader said that even small purchases because of the heavy rare earth downstream buyers bargain compared to the intensity of the light rare earths is low.

Currently, dysprosium prices in the $ 350-390 / kg in the interval fluctuations, purchasing and storage affected by China, prices or rise further. At the same time, the market price is not higher than $ 500 / kg level, NdFeB enterprises will not exhibit the transition fears.

One trader said the week it received two weeks ago to $ 600 / kg purchase price of terbium oxide, the traders believe the market next few months will show strong. Another trader said they are negotiating yttrium oxide and europium transaction, the current trading price is still being finalized.

Ministry of Commerce recently issued a notice specifying the country including Qingdao Port, including nine ports for rare earth export declaration limited ports.

Since 2010, China has cut rare earth export scale, global rare earth stocks almost depleted, China's rare earth consumption accounts for about 70% of the world accounted for 90% of global supply. But over the past three years, a lot of light rare earth export quotas idle. Last December 31, the Ministry of Commerce issued the "2015 list of goods export license management," clearly will perform the export of rare earth export license management, export enterprises with export contracts can only apply for the rare earth export licenses, which means that our country rare earth export quota management system implemented since 1998 has ended.

Rare earth export quotas, on the one hand will increase the difficulty of China's rare earth resources and protect the ecological environment, but also will lead to the introduction of more effective measures to increase protection. According to Customs statistics, in 2013 and 2014, the amount of rare earth export port in Shandong maintained at about 1500-1800 tons, accounting for about 7% of the country's total exports of rare earths, the value at about 120 million to 140 million yuan.

It is reported that, in addition to Qingdao Port, the remaining eight ports are Tianjin, Shanghai, Huangpu, Hohhot, Nanchang, Ningbo, Nanjing and Xiamen port.

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Land Resources, Ministry of Environmental Protection, Customs, Taxation, Business Administration, Administration of Work Safety eight departments jointly issued the "rare earths, request further investigation of illegal acts letter" require further investigation of the local RE illegal activities.

It is reported that the Ministry of eight departments and China Rare Earth Industry Association, composed of four inspection groups, respectively in Anhui, Jiangsu, Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Sichuan seven provinces (regions) of the country to combat rare illegal behavior on progress made checks. Inspection found that the relevant provinces (regions) of the alleged existence of the business acquisition, sale and comprehensive recovery in the name of the name of the production and processing of illegal use of rare earth minerals, unplanned, over plans to produce other illegal clues.

In recent years, the relevant departments attach great importance to the fight against illegal behavior of rare earth industry exist. Since August 2013, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Land Resources, Ministry of Environmental Protection and other seven ministries, launched a three-month strike of rare earth mining, production and circulation of illegal conduct special operations, and checking to supervise the handling of the issue. This action has dealt with this special 46 cases of illegal mining illegal, and ordered 126 illegal production companies suspend production for rectification, and revoked 16 rare corporate business license, involving a total of seized illegal rare earth materials and 19,000 tons of rare earth products.

However, after more than a year of action to combat illegal rare earths, a free in the regulation of "rare earth black industry chain" has been revealed. In order to avoid regulation and thorough investigation of the country, was shut down some preliminary rare earth companies have started to shift, and after assuming a "resurgence", continues the illegal production, and the staggering production.

In fact, these rare "black factory" capable illegal production, because RE has extensive overseas demand. Before profits, blinded by the "black factory" to laws and regulations, public safety, and life and death aside their desires expansion, stealing becomes no moderation.

And formal rare earth producers compared to those free in the regulatory "black factory" more competitive. On the one hand, these "black factory" can buy cheaper raw materials from some private mining digging mines and other channels. On the other hand, the production of rare earth smelting and not "mandatory production plan" of the constraints, but also save a lot of money into environmental protection equipment spending, even if the price is low, profits are considerable, while the sales is not a problem .

Now, eight departmental action against these violations can play a deterrent. But more importantly, the relevant departments should maintain a high pressure situation of illegal behavior. The focus on comprehensive utilization of resources under the guise of the name of illegal production of rare earth behavior management; establishment of regional linkage mechanism of light rare earths and heavy rare earth crack down on illegal production, in order to achieve the relevant departments and timely communication of information, co-ordination and harmonization of actions; by RE invoices, data sharing, and other means to improve the reporting system, to identify problems and implement investigation.
