It was reported that the State Reserve Bureau has signed an agreement with six major purchasing and storage of rare earth rare earth group , at a time of the month, purchasing and storage of rare earth is expected to heat up again . In addition , the National Committee of Standards and Technology rare recently held a meeting to discuss and validation of the " rare earth grades representation " and 18 rare earth industry standards. Baotou Steel Rare Earth and Rare hospital subordinate units , International Trade Company , and the United States company , involved in the development of hydrogen storage company which led a number of criteria . With the formation of six Rare Earth Group , a new pricing mechanism of rare earths is expected to break Bureau .

RE purchasing and storage time approaching

It is understood that the second round of rare earth Shouchu ongoing negotiations are expected to finalize the details of the next purchasing and storage price. After a continuous decline in the fourth quarter of 2013 , rare earth prices are close to the level of the bottom of the mid- 2013 period.

After the news that April 10 will ultimately determine the price of purchasing and storage , in the purchasing and storage expected strong background in late March to early April rare earth prices have risen. And because there is no final detailed program introduced, therefore , two weeks before the return of rare earth price decline . However , in view of the State Reserve Bureau has signed an agreement with the purchasing and storage of rare earth aluminum , Minmetals , Steel, Jiangxi thin, Xiamen Tungsten and Rising colored , purchasing and storage of rare earth can be considered to have officially finalized . Near the end of April , purchasing and storage is expected to rise again . It is said that purchasing and storage of product categories may be oxide, praseodymium , neodymium , praseodymium oxide, neodymium oxide, europium , terbium oxide, lutetium oxide, dysprosium oxide, erbium oxide, yttrium oxide , the number of purchasing and storage on the basis of the original 10,000 tons an additional 30% of the self- storage business , purchasing and storage of rare earth prices by about 10% -15 % higher than the current market price of the mainstream . Of course , before the formal introduction of the final purchasing and storage of Association , any message also belong to guess.

From the historical data , from January to February is the off-season demand for rare earths , the chain typically have significantly increased the amount of rare earth exports from March to May . If you plan to gradually implement the recent state purchasing and storage , then the current price of rare earth corresponding stage at the bottom . Insiders optimistic market outlook is expected to determine the domestic rare earth prices upward , price increases in the coming quarter is expected to reach about 15%.

When the domestic rare earth prices fall to a certain price , the state purchasing and storage mechanism in accordance with the requirements in the market, purchasing and storage ; When rare earth prices rose to a certain price , the state sold rare as requested by purchasing and storage mechanisms. When the total excessive exploitation of rare earth resources , led to a substantial decline in rare earth prices , the State timely reserves , will play an effective role in regulating the market .

Of course, purchasing and storage price adjustment is only a means , and has certain limitations . When the rare earth prices, companies have an incentive to sell rare earths is difficult to stabilize prices ; while in rare-earth prices are low , purchasing and storage enterprises conduct a more limited impact on the market price . Management of rare earths should be from the source of governance, the fight against illegal poaching behavior , can play a role in stabilizing market prices.

Analysts pointed out that , in addition to purchasing and storage , it should accelerate the integration process of the rare earth industry , so the market by reducing the supply of rare earths to stabilize prices . Purchasing and storage plan should be carried out in large and medium enterprises , it will also strengthen in line with the industrial policy of competitive advantage , with the relevant environmental policies , the market will also accelerate the pace of mergers and reorganization .

Industry -standard validation beneficial pricing

Sino-US trade disputes in rare case, the WTO panel found preliminary export duties and export quotas for rare earth products to implement measures to China in violation of the established rules , said China appealed to the export control of resources and environmental protection, and tried to use tariffs and general Agreement on Trade (GATT) Article 20 of the general exception provisions on environmental protection to defend .

It is understood that every ton of rare earths will also produce hundreds of tons of waste, causing serious pollution of water and soil . U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) , said rare earths in the process can lead to contamination of surface water and groundwater heavy metals and radionuclides , and for the immersion of rare earth concentrated acid will make the soil near the mine no longer suitable for farming. In other countries , mineral mining, the high cost required for the rule of environmental pollution makes some items discontinued, so that these countries by the rare earth exporter to importer .

Recently , the National Committee of Standards and Technology held a rare meeting to discuss and validation of the " rare earth grades representation " and 18 rare earth industry standards. Baotou Steel Rare Earth and Rare hospital subordinate units , International Trade Company , and the United States company , involved in the development of hydrogen storage company which led a number of criteria .

In the 18 standard, europium oxide and other three product standards for validation , pre-trial and discussed by the Baotou Steel Rare Earth and Rare hospital as the main drafter ; 1 standard method " abandoned chemical analysis of rare earth phosphors first part : total rare earth oxides Determination of the amount of " discussed by the hospital as the main drafter of the rare earth ; " rare earth grades representation "and other standards to participate in the validation by the Baotou Rare Earth subsidiary, as the second part of the drafters . It was also on the 2014-2015 project to demonstrate the standard RE , RE hospital and hydrogen storage method for companies to seven industry standards recommendations.

At the same time , advanced rare earth materials industry technology innovation strategic alliance ( the pilot ) started in Beijing , Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel Rare Earth ( Group ) Hi-Tech Co. pushed as executive vice chairman of the unit .

Advanced rare earth materials industry technology innovation strategic alliance is under the guidance of the Ministry of Science , led the establishment of the Rare-Earth "rare earth industry technology innovation strategic alliance" and the Beijing Nonferrous Metal Research Institute led the establishment of the "advanced rare earth materials and cleaning balanced use of industry technology innovation strategic alliance "formed in July 2013 from the strategic integration , and in November 2013 was voted the third installment of the State Ministry of Science and industrial Technology Innovation strategic Alliance pilot . Advanced rare earth materials industry technology innovation strategic alliance is currently gathering a large group of six rare earth , rare earth materials and key domestic enterprises, research institutions and universities of 33 members of the unit , the main face of China's rare earth industry development for the major key technical issues actively carry out effective cooperation with the research conducted industrial technology innovation , accelerate scientific and technological achievements and upgrading of industrial technology , to enhance the core competitiveness of the rare earth industry , and promote the healthy and orderly development of China's rare earth industry . Industry generally expect rare earth " group of six " is a good start regulate the rare earth market , only the establishment of a scientific pricing mechanism for rare earths , in order to reflect the strategic position of rare earth resources at a reasonable price , while in line with international trade rules.
