Last week ( as of August 30, 2013 ) U.S. economic data was mixed , Syria war impact on commodity markets dominant position last week, mixed metals , molybdenum , antimony, titanium sponge better performance ; tungsten continue down, down 3.06 %, due to lack of demand downstream tungsten , if Minmetals future does not restore external procurement, tungsten prices may continue to bear the downward pressure .

Precious metals prices were mixed , concentrates the largest decline . Last week, with larger decreases in metals is mainly tungsten and zircon sand , were down 3.06% and 2.55% ; molybdenum , antimony, titanium sponge performed better , were up 2.46% , 2.06 %, 2% . Steel market, increased demand for molybdenum iron effectively promoted molybdenum prices, we are concerned about domestic molybdenum prices have continuously risen nearly a month, rose 2.1 percent last week . Recent antimony prices rise significantly , but not many downstream customers purchasing chase into September , with the gradual return to the market at home and abroad , the market will gradually increase in procurement activities , antimony market is expected to pick up. Titanium sponge prices is because the manufacturer discontinued stops, supply substantially reduced, but the market is still deserted , most consumer providers are watching the market , although prices are still lower than the cost of production now , but the prices of titanium sponge is still difficult. Tungsten concentrate prices continued to fall last week , due to lower procurement weakness, coupled with China Minmetals nearly six weeks is not in the spot market purchases, if the future does not restore external Minmetals purchase price of tungsten may continue to bear the downward pressure .

Rare earth market changes , the price rally stalled . Last week, neodymium oxide, praseodymium , neodymium prices were flat, heavy rare earth dysprosium oxide fell 1.25 percent. Since early June , praseodymium neodymium oxide prices have risen 41 percent , the highest rise 93% dysprosium oxide , rare earth market last week, but some subtle changes : praseodymium neodymium -related products due to buyers lose confidence in the downstream market , manufacturers are no longer continue raised the prices of related products , some traders eager to ship , the price in order to facilitate transactions , is difficult to estimate the short term prices rose sharply ; same situation also appears in the heavy rare earth dysprosium oxide , and it is reported that the government may soon purchasing and storage of rare earth products , so manufacturers To hold stocks to watch , but also short-term price stability estimate .

Today supplier of rare earth market price adjustment, market fluctuations. Gadolinium-based product market, the recent slight increase in the Shanghai area of supplier quotations, Baotou and Ganzhou some manufacturers do not reflect the temporary adjustment of prices, but there are other suppliers on the market raised gadolinium oxide and gadolinium iron offer. Gadolinium on the market today with a vote 19.5-21 yuan / ton, gadolinium iron 21-22.5 yuan / ton. Previous offer more concentrated in 19.5-20 yuan / ton, gadolinium iron 21-21.5 yuan / ton or so.

Today, some suppliers cut dysprosium oxide with a ticket offer to 210 yuan / ton, lower than the day before the offer 50,000 yuan / ton, while with the other suppliers understanding of the situation shows that to maintain the original offer of 215 yuan / ton over still more, to the case of transactions by 2.1 million less than normal. Dysprosium iron market with ticket prices are still 2.25 million yuan / ton. Affected by industry consolidation, there are some suppliers cheap out with no votes sources.

Battery grade mixed rare earth market prices declined slightly over the previous, Baotou manufacturers feedback, now with tickets selling price of 14 yuan / ton, slightly lower than the pre-offer five thousand dollars / ton. According to Ganzhou Ganzhou Rare Earth Association released ionic rare earth ore price display, 9 months yttrium europium-rich ore price was adjusted to 18-20 yuan / ton, August offer for 200,000 yuan / ton. Chinese Rare Earth Society offer the same kind of ore is displayed as 21-23 yuan / ton.

Magnetic scrap market, today's market offers slightly over the previous fine-tuning, some businesses offer more than yesterday's price cut 1-2 yuan / kg. In short the current market price of the mainstream of 98-102 yuan / kg, long 108-110 yuan / kg, tiles 128-130 yuan / kg. Some market participants reflects the current shipping conditions in general, and some others recyclers suspend normal delivery, the recent market may be stabilizing.

Special action will be August 15 to November 15 in full swing, will be focused on investigating illegal poaching , exploration and exploitation of undocumented illegal , strictly investigated the presence of rare earth mine production cross-border mining, mining super indicators act against illegal mining ( recycling ) mines , minerals and confiscate the illegal income , and will be punished ; clean up illegal construction projects in the recovery of rare earth resources, conduct, behavior did not seek recovery of rare earth resources , and immediately ordered to stop production rectification.

Reporter yesterday from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology was informed that the Ministry of Public Security and other eight ministries in the second half will be carried out jointly by the National Rare rectification work. "Combating rare earth mining , production, circulation of illegal special action plan" released yesterday , the industry believes that the move will help the healthy development of rare earth industry , positive leading enterprises.

Su Bo, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry in April this year to attend the first session of China Rare Earth Industry Association member -cum- director general has made it clear that this year , the State Council departments will adopt more stringent measures , combined with the rare earth invoices monitoring system implementation , increase combating illicit production of rare earths , black market and other special rectification, and resolutely deal with a number of typical cases .

Reporters learned that, in order to achieve this goal, "Combating rare earth mining , production, circulation of illegal behavior special action program " has been officially released .

According action programs , special action will be August 15 to November 15 in full swing. Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Land , Ministry of Environmental Protection , Customs, State Administration of Taxation , the State Administration for Industry and Commerce , the State Administration of Work Safety will participate .

This special action will be focused on investigating illegal poaching , exploration and exploitation of undocumented illegal , strictly investigated the presence of rare earth mine production cross-border mining, mining super indicators act against illegal mining ( recycling ) mines , minerals and confiscate illegal income, and will be punished ; clean up illegal construction projects in the recovery of rare earth resources, conduct, behavior did not seek recovery of rare earth resources , and immediately ordered to stop production rectification.

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 , off or cut the amount of energy will rise further , 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 .

August 26 morning, the Minister of Land , party secretary of the State Land Chief Inspector Jiang Daming chaired the 11th meeting of the Ministers office will be considered and approved in principle the " Land and Resources issued in the year 2013 rare earth ore mining tungsten ore antimony total volume control indicators , "which determines the country this year will remain unchanged total ionic rare earth mining , while modest increases in mining rare earth mineralization indicators ; tungsten mining maintain total control standards in 2012 ; antimony mining total control indicators moderately reduced .
    
Currently, the rare earth industry, the main focus is playing private and industry consolidation in mid-August , the Ministry of Public Security, the Department of Homeland eight departments have jointly organized a three-month special action to combat , mainly for the illegal exploitation of rare earth, illegal production , black interests chain. With rare special rectification action unfolds, industry restructuring is also the climax of the current policy direction is to create a large group , which for the rare earth industry, the future market structure has laid the basis for a clear , large corporate mergers and acquisitions also entered hotline phase.
    
Since the early earth resource prices did not reflect , after a surge , the rare-earth prices, the market is extremely unstable , intensive period of overheated investment policies , market overreaction phenomenon is extremely detrimental to the sustainable development of the industry , in order to prevent such phenomenon , while speeding up the transformation of the mode dominant mineral management , the Ministry issued a "notice ." Data show that China has 23% of the world 's rare earth resources bear more than 90% of the world market supply . Chinese market in order to implement more stringent environmental standards and protection of the ecological policy of fear of sexual exploitation of international market will also face trade pressures .
    
" 2013-2015 China rare earth industry investment analysis and trend forecast report" shows that from the calendar year issued indicators observed tungsten 2006-2012 issued the increasing number of indicators , compound growth rate of 4% ; antimony ore mined in 2009-2012 total indicator compound growth rate of 5% . However, rare earth ore and tungsten ore antimony there is a difference , in 2009 there had total control of mining index lower case , is 82,300 tons ; 2010 this indicator increased to 89,200 tons ; 2011 national total control of rare earth mining continues based on the increase in the previous 4,600 tons to 93,800 tons , of which 80,400 tons of rare earth light , medium and heavy rare earth 13,400 tons ; while in 2012 and 2011 a considerable amount of targets .
    
With the rare earth industry consolidation progresses, industry, smelting and separation capacity is expected to scale down , not only that, resource recycling sectors are also expected to enter the track by the wind . Short term, the Government is determined to clear the long term, the market still need to follow institutional management constraints . Subject to international market pressures, policy control can not have much time , this is short-term intensive introduction and strict enforcement policy reasons . Current mandatory policy instruments for the latter is undoubtedly the city toward operational basis , such as the integration of large groups such as industry adjustment is the most direct and efficient means. Despite the apparent form of industry consolidation , but there are still specific implementation problems multistakeholder regulation , the future market structure although rare clear, but big business responsibility.
