According to the Pentagon scare recently released a report that in 2011 China 's rare earth export control cause has subsided , because market forces to promote the growth of rare earth production outside of China , and prompted users to switch to alternative rare earth resources.

China , Japan and the United States is the largest consumer of rare earths . RE can be used for the production of wind turbines , hybrid cars , headphones , computer hard drives and televisions and energy-saving lamps and other products.

In 2011, China accounted for 95 % of global rare earth. Rare earth prices rose year so the Pentagon worried for defense manufacturing of rare earth supply might dry up.

But in recent weeks, the Pentagon 's annual report to Congress , said : "The global market forces resulting rare earth supply chain for positive change , the majority of rare earth materials in the defense industrial base will need to get an adequate supply . "

This department period in October 2013 but did not publicly released the report , in 2011-2012 , the global rare earths supply situation has undergone great change , some experts predicted that global demand for rare earths will decline by 20%.

The report, the annual industrial capacity , said the decline in demand has led to the majority of the rare earth rare earth oxides and rare earth metals prices from peak levels in summer of 2011 fell by 60 %. Reduce the demand for rare earths materials attributed in part to increased use of alternative .

The report said: " The reaction of the private sector market forces has been on the increase the development of rare earth materials and the development of downstream processing capabilities. "

Reported that the Pentagon is still supply and production of high purity oxide and alloy processing ability of certain heavy rare earth elements expressed concern .

"Overall , the domestic supply chain, the basic shape of these materials , but also relatively thin. "

The current rare earth market prices were little changed , holding weak demand , prices subdued . Some businesses are still concerned about purchasing and storage of rare earth information, but there has been no positive response to the official , there are businesses reflect Shouchu started early , by the end of the market is more difficult to change. It is part of the business to reflect current market is relatively calm , stable prices or slightly down slightly , but the next year the market still have positive expectations.

Praseodymium , neodymium market , downstream manufacturers of magnetic reflect fewer orders , or orders not received recently , leading to stop the situation more, less procurement requirements, praseodymium , neodymium prices are weak shocks , short- term outlook is difficult rally .

Dysprosium products market , the recent dysprosium oxide , dysprosium iron prices have remained stable , manufacturers and traders offer little change , the rush to the realization of individual businesses , shipping price is slightly lower . According to Ganzhou suppliers now reflect the price of dysprosium oxide shipments 173-178 yuan / ton. Despite the business to reflect market where there are 1.7 million of supply , but only a minority phenomenon , most suppliers offer remained about 1.75 million yuan / ton. Dysprosium iron market , currently quoted at 178-190 yuan / ton have recently Inquirer less .

Other single oxides, such as praseodymium oxide, neodymium and other prices in recent days were not significantly changed. According to Ganzhou traders said Shen grass now shipping prices praseodymium oxide in 575,000 yuan / ton , unchanged from last week at this price . Neodymium oxide , the supplier can accept the shipping price at around 31.5-32 yuan / ton, and reflect no recent orders, business deserted.

Rare earth export policy ( quotas and tariffs ) have been released . In 2014 the first batch of rare earth export quota of 15,100 tons of total rare earth metal provisional export tax rate of 25% rare earth oxides provisional export tax rate of 15-25 %.

1 , concerns the structural changes in export quotas : a slight increase in the total amount or a substantial reduction in the heavy rare earth quotas

Package dilute parent or because of environmental problems again failed to appear in the first batch of export quotas enterprises, the surface 2014 of the first volume of export quotas fell 3% ( of which the light rare earth -2 % over last year to 7% of the heavy rare earths );

After taking into account the package regain dilute EIA probability of large export quotas (similar to last year ) , assuming package dilute get the same quota and 13 years , and the first batch of rare earth export quotas account for 50 % of the annual total, in 2014 export quota the actual total is expected to grow by 1% over the 13-year to 3.13 million tons; wherein the light rare earth export quota will be increased by 2 %, while the heavy rare earth export quota is significantly reduced 6%

2,2014 rare earth export tariffs remain unchanged. According to the Ministry of Finance in 2014 Tariff Implementation Plan , rare earth provisional export tax rate of 25% rare earth oxides provisional export tax rate of 15-25 % ( 15% for the light rare earth basic , 25% heavy rare earth ) , and export tariffs consistent with historical levels , and heavy rare species still used in higher export tariffs .

3 Overall, we do not agree with China 's rare earth export media again tightened point of view. Despite the development of export quotas and tariff policy for the routine work of government departments during the year , but also reflects the importance of the government 's attitude towards the rare earth industry governance, including concerns about environmental issues , but also includes " gradual liberalization of the total , the severity is different ." governance ideas, which is pre- domestic " light rare earth gradually liberalized market , focusing on governance more strategic heavy rare earth " policy orientation is consistent .

4 Furthermore , rare earth export trade of China's WTO proceedings against almost a foregone conclusion , but for now the possibility of final results officially announced in 2014 a larger , 2015 rare earth export policy is bound to make adjustments ( based on the experience of coke , export quotas or export license will be changed , tariffs were canceled ) .

We believe that losing the neutral route through 2014 period, how to control the black industry chain , to form a long and governance under the national reserve under the auspices of the large group market environment ( such as Baotou Rare Earth Stock Exchange during the test run has completed three pen large transactions ) effective mechanism to prevent the export policy and release back - crucial era " rare melee cabbage price ." On this basis , the liberalization of exports of rare earths are likely to become a major driving force clearing of domestic rare earth stocks , rare earth prices eventually play a supporting role .

5 , of course , due to the recent policy measures , such as purchasing and storage of rare earth continually later than expected , traders hold stockpile rare earth prices or selling pressure will make further downstream. As mentioned above, we judge is bound to accelerate the WTO against " policy mix of boxing ," introduced in 2014 is still possible range of policies , and the rare earth sector to promote upward again .

Recently, the Ministry of Commerce announced the list of 2014 rare earth export enterprises and the first batch of export quotas , Jiangxi four companies was in 2014 the first batch of light, medium and heavy rare earth export quota of 1,936 tons , of which 1,715 tons of light rare earths , heavy rare earth 221 tons . Notice that the first batch of export quotas in 2014 with reference to the main production enterprises , export volume , export value in 2011 to October 2013 were calculated .
