July and August temperatures baked everyone, these two months of rare earth prices rose to as high as the highest point this year, the position since June after hitting the rare earth market consolidation, July Shouchu rumors, August " rare are" and "rare earth kingdom," the most important meeting of the year , the rare earth prices have how kind of change ?

How policies affect nearly two months, the spot market price : 6 months late, rare earth "hitting " action first action in the south , the spot market price of rare earth set off a wave of price surges, then positive effect weakened, neodymium , praseodymium , dysprosium , europium , terbium products prices down briefly in early August two most important industry conference - fifth China Baotou Rare Earth rare Earth industry Forum and the development and application of the Seventh International Conference - in two large Baotou and Ganzhou rare Earth origin held . August 7 , the Ministry announced the " fight against rare earth mining , production, circulation of illegal behavior special action program ", decided from 2013 August 15 to November 15 in the fight against rare earth mining , production, circulation of illegal behavior of special action , focusing on combating the illegal exploitation of rare earth , waste recycling and other irregularities. Praseodymium, neodymium, dysprosium, europium , terbium prices rise again , the price is at a high short-term stalemate , late August , praseodymium neodymium , dysprosium loose down prices again , europium , terbium high stalemate continues .

Why praseodymium neodymium, dysprosium products prices seem to be more sensitive , and europium , terbium lanthanum cerium most characteristic LREE have different prices ?

Policies and requirements of the game :

From last August to June this year , the price from the above chart are four rare earth prices can be seen that the overall trend is downward , by the end of October last year, state purchasing and storage policy brief pull up prices fall again after die hard earth . In addition to outside praseodymium neodymium , lanthanum cerium terbium dysprosium europium prices have fallen below the lowest point last year . And in addition to outside neodymium praseodymium , lanthanum cerium terbium dysprosium europium failed to rise to the same period last year the price .

Didymium market is almost the highest attention to a product , whether manufacturers, traders, companies south or north of rare earth rare earth companies , most of the rare-earth traders who are involved on this market , followed by slightly dysprosium products .

Praseodymium, neodymium and dysprosium ferroalloy production of high performance NdFeB permanent magnet materials is the main raw material , to improve the NdFeB magnetic and thermal stability of the product plays an important role . Both in the NdFeB permanent magnet materials costs account for a significant proportion of Dy alloy NdFeB permanent magnet materials can be used in addition to , but also can manufacture super- magnetostrictive alloys, magneto-optical recording material , nuclear fuel thinner.

Due to application of rare earth NdFeB share a larger market share , praseodymium neodymium , dysprosium products by supply and demand side greater impact. Favorable policies can drive supplier price increases sellers, sluggish demand can also suppress the price regression normalization deal. Supply-side and demand-side , who are more initiative ? Short-term policies favorable impact on the market and suppliers mentality affect the long term price is still around mainly by application requirements , so once the difference in price at a high level beyond the point where the downstream market is willing to bear the price will fall.

Lanthanum, cerium and europium , terbium applications seem to have considered very good, but different amounts of each resource reserves , market supply is different , different production processes , in people's minds the value is different, the market price there bad days to do .

As can be seen from the price chart lanthanum cerium , favorable policies seem to lanthanum, cerium had no significant effect , the price is still mainly affected by the relationship between supply and demand . The europium , terbium by the policy because of its high value of the pet , purchasing and storage of key objectives , the price is more likely affected by the policy .

The remaining months , the spot market for rare earth policy seems to affect only the purchasing and storage this one , but the market price before the rumors have given rise to a high position Glasgow , purchasing and storage are also on the market deeper and more powerful influence , need to look at real time and implement purchasing and storage quantities and purchasing and storage objects, etc. , even without purchasing and storage effect , nearly three months of National rectifying action will not let prices fall again in June during a price so low .

Policy of good intentions , but the policy point of application should be comprehensive, regardless of how the value of a species which are final demand, the relevant departments for downstream applications, more than I should put incentives and subsidies, natural recovery in demand will lead to price increases .

Japan's Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Economy on September 1 start of the use of supercomputer "Beijing " from the domestic exploitation of natural resources can be stabilized in the development and performance of rare earth metals also new material items. Project plan with 8 years to achieve practical , annual investment of about 150 billion yen, commissioned by the Ministry of Education East , JD , Tokyo Institute of Technology and a total of 2,500 researchers involved in research and development. This is the first time in Japan in the domestic rare earth metals research alternative materials .

Each containing a rare earth metal natural resources by most electronic form , based on the resource type of the arrangement of different electronic , but even other natural resources , as long as the electronic arrangement reorganization can produce rare earth metal containing natural resources the same performance . Japanese government over the new project is to use the law of the Seto Inland Sea from mixed seawater collected out of the sodium and rocks from domestic raw materials acquisition Shah out of silicon, calcium and about 20 kinds of natural resources , production and rare earth metals the same electronic arrangement of new materials. The "Beijing " will accurately calculate the type and proportion of electronic arrangement . In addition , in order to verify whether the material can be developed and played out the same performance rare earth metals , used in the hybrid engine of rare earth metals such as Toyota Motor Company will participate in the project consultancy basis . The project not only rare earth metals research alternative materials , and will study mostly imported from China and other rare metal indium alternative materials . Indium and other rare metals are widely used in new LCD SHARP "IGZO" a liquid crystal panel.

To get rid of dependence on China Rare Japanese government and private sectors in the exclusive waters looking for rare earth resources , R & D does not use a motor with a rare earth metal magnets, and dispersion of rare earth sourcing ground. However, there are still rare earth imports from China accounted for half. According to the Finance Ministry trade statistics , in 2012 Japan imported about 4,793 tons of rare earth , of which about 2,985 tons from China.
