Last month, the price of rare earth appears broad. The recent market prices of rare earth products dysprosium is also strong in the short term, dysprosium market price trend is still running strong. There are businesses that now the market price is higher, downstream buyers reluctant to purchase by the cost of support, cargo operators who heard the recent news of state purchasing and storage, the price outlook is expected to continue upward.

Affected by the impact of the price of dysprosium oxide, dysprosium dysprosium iron prices are rising in tandem with the market now offer was 2750-2850 yuan / kg and 2250-2350 yuan / kg. However, the actual volume of the entire downstream market is not optimistic, end-user demand procurement, factory shipments is not the intention, the overall market trend is not very good, long-term demand to price support efforts is limited. Rare analysts believe that now most of the speculation among traders on the market in the short term, the market price of dysprosium strong trend will continue to be run.

Recently, the U.S. media broke the news that the United States some members mulls bill requiring the government to allow to increase domestic rare earth mining. U.S. Lawmakers said the move primarily to reduce dependence on Chinese rare earths to protect U.S. national security.

Under the Act, the U.S. approval authority must be made within 30 months of approval not to be unreasonably delaying approval. The debate in the House Rules Committee on Modi by explaining the purpose of the Bill, said the bill put forward is based on national security considerations and economic recovery.

Moment, pushing America to expand domestic rare earth mining behind the main factors: First, the market demand is huge. REE is manufactured rockets, computers, stealth aircraft, LED fluorescent tubes, and many other products indispensable raw materials. More importantly, rare earth manufacturing energy saving products is an important raw material, the United States to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, imported from overseas can not meet their own needs. "Forbes" magazine said the United States is sitting on the world's proven reserves of 15% of the earth, but the yield was less than 1% of the world, resulting in this production capacity and reserves within the United States do not match demand and is mainly due to government restrictions the exploitation of rare earth resources.

Second, out of its own military security considerations. United States, "Defense News" that the United States needed to develop sophisticated weapons, mostly from China Rare Earth and China to strengthen management of rare earth exports will likely threaten the United States military capabilities. U.S. military, military industrial enterprises and energy exploration companies have been used as a reason to lobby the government and Congress to expand the exploitation of local rare earth resources.

Third, control of the initiative in the field of rare earth new materials. Currently, rare earth new materials in the field of intellectual property rights for the United States and Europe are the main control. But with the rapid development of China's rare earth industry in China in the field of R & D capabilities on the rise. U.S. experts have put forward, in order to lead the development of rare earth new materials in the field, the United States must be an appropriate increase in extraction and mining, processing to achieve greater technological breakthroughs.

Fourth, for the technological development of the industry ahead of the layout. America's current pace of economic growth has returned, some of the new technologies to achieve breakthrough innovation led by the economic boom in the United States may once again appear. Moment, information technology, biotechnology and other technologies of the future will be the United States focus of industrial development, and rare is the application of these technologies provides the important basic materials. U.S. Magnetic Materials Association reported that rare earth mining the main issues, namely, the high cost of mining is very difficult to extract, the second is environmental pollution, to large-scale mining of rare earth resources in the United States, need to establish a chain, but it will take time . To meet the great development of the technology industry, the United States need ahead of the layout, and establish a domestic rare earth supply chain.

U.S. exports of rare earths on Chinese management practices dissatisfaction and concerns have not been eliminated in China on the issue of rare earth put more pressure on China to relax Rare management measures. The Chinese may be necessary to protect resources and environment considerations, continue to adhere to the current rare earth mining and export management measures. In the rare earth issue, Sino-US new collision and friction will be inevitable.

Future impact of modern industry is the basic substance, must ultimately special metal functional materials, and rare earth functional materials is the most important one.

Most of China's rare earth mining enterprises located in a large area. In the core area of ​​rare earth resources, China's rare earth industry formed three bases and two major north-south pattern of rare earth production system. Three bases are located in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, Sichuan and Jiangxi Ganzhou MIANNING represented by seven southern provinces. Including header and mianning region dominated by light REE, and Jiangxi provinces in southern seven heavy rare earth-based. Two production systems, namely the northern light rare earth-based process system and to the south of the heavy rare earth-based process system.

In the new materials industry, "second five" key catalog among the rare earth functional materials selected 25 species, including rare earth magnetic materials and rare earth luminescent materials accounted for 50% of the total.

"Twelfth Five-Year Plan" that, "Twelve Five" period, China is expected to require a total of 40,000 tons of rare earth permanent magnet materials. New energy field, 2015 cumulative production and sales of new energy vehicles will be more than 500,000, according to every need of new energy vehicles 60kw rare earth permanent magnet 3 kg basis, totaling 1,500 tons of rare earth permanent magnet. During the second five efforts to achieve the output value of new materials more than 25% annual growth target. Organizational development of high energy product rare earth permanent magnet materials, new production processes, promoting high coercivity, high temperature NdFeB magnets and samarium cobalt magnets, Sm-Fe-N isotropic bonded magnet powder and industrialization, the new permanent Material production capacity 20,000 tons / year.

In foreign countries, of rare earth resources had already been applied to the high-tech military which. Rare is the manufacture of precision-guided weapons, radar and night-vision goggles and other weaponry indispensable element. U.S. "Patriot" missiles to intercept incoming missiles precisely the reason why, thanks to the guidance system used about 4 kg of tungsten-cobalt magnets and titanium boron magnets; U.S. "Aegis" system of spy-1 radar is also used made by the Chinese rare earth magnets. Without these elements, these weapons will blindness.

In the domestic capital markets, be more concerned with the rare earth elements is the development of energy-efficient hybrid interlocking.

And other new materials, like the bottleneck problem faced by the current development of domestic rare earth faces two major problems, one lower grade of products, irrational industrial structure; Second, marketing is not wide enough, not enough widespread application of rare earth products, which are in need of technical progress to give support. "Planning" also mentioned the need to increase R & D investment, focusing on new materials R & D investment accounted for 5% of sales revenue, and built a number of new materials engineering and technology research and development and public service platform.

"Smuggling" as a legal concept charges, in the rare earth business circles, became vocabulary? Recently, the state of the rare earth industry, strike hard, some responsible persons suspected of smuggling away cooperate with the investigation by the local public security bureau.

"This is not new as long as there are profits, someone will take the risk." One yuan rare earth industry insiders told reporters.

Rare Earth Industry Association, Ma Rongzhang publicly stated last year, in 2011, foreign import statistics than the number of rare earth exports to China Customs statistics 1.2 times higher than the number that smuggling is a normal amount of 120% of exports, "the amount of smuggling now may not be so high, but there must smuggling. "

Recently, this reporter unannounced visits to an export freight business, I learned the details of their smuggling of rare earths.

Profit more than 50% to avoid customs

"This circle where, if strict accordance with national policies define words, many places are" unclean "." The rare earth industry, told reporters the case said.

He said "no clean", referring to the choice of private mines, smelting separation production targets over production (industry, also known as a side job), there is smuggling.

Why would smuggling of rare earth Eliminated? The industry believes that, because of "profit dictates."

At present, the domestic franchise invoice no private mining of rare earth crackdown increasing separation midstream smelting enterprises will not rush to use this limelight private mines, traders cautious hoard goods, not domestic sales. The export, and if through customs tax, the profit will be greatly reduced; relationship if exports through intermediaries, profits can guarantee at least 50%.

Cerium oxide to heading 2,846,101,000 example, each kg of 15% export duty, value added tax of 17%. According to information provided by rivers Consulting, June ceria average export price of 8.69 U.S. dollars / kg, or about 53,000 yuan / ton. The cerium oxide in the domestic price, but is 2.6 yuan / ton, the export price doubled.

According to the sources, foreign businessmen will understand the domestic rare earth price quotes. If they think $ 8.69 / kg price is too high, demand for lower prices, then, domestic traders to make up the difference out of pocket only, which is obviously not the pen good deal. However, to avoid customs not the same, domestic traders can use more than 30,000 yuan / ton price to sell, some of fees paid to brokers to ensure their own profits at least 50% or more. Generate demand for such smuggling.

Rare is "entrained" exit

Wong (sound) is a person in charge of export freight companies, although quite young, but talk about "sensitive goods" business (smuggling of rare earth) is very skilled.

"You want to export cerium oxide, lanthanum, cerium carbonate such over 20,000 yuan / ton cheaper rare earth, we have to charge 3,500 yuan per ton fee, if those are the heavy rare earth oxide, erbium, fees naturally higher." Mr. Huang on the "Daily Economic News" reporter, said, "This price is not high, we will earn 600 yuan per ton to 800 yuan, if large, it can be considered favorable."

Wong export freight companies where both agents clothing, bags such common goods export declaration, but also agents of rare earth, charcoal such "sensitive goods." They are mainly from the Guangdong Whampoa of Hong Kong and Shenzhen, Shekou Port exit, the containers transported to Hong Kong and then help mainland exporters way of fixed positions, shipped overseas buyers.

"Domestic transportation costs requires companies themselves out." Wong said, they are responsible for re-export from the Mainland to Hong Kong and then shipped to foreign link.

He knew entrainment these "sensitive goods" out off the seriousness, but he very confidently said, "We are one day made 3,4 units Hong Kong car (Hong Kong and mainland customs clearance logistics vehicles), rare earth shipments of up to 10 a day ton. "loaded more than one company per container cargo. He is 20 tons per day, for example, 18 tons loaded textile toys, entrainment of two tons of rare earth, rare earth to the declaration on behalf of talc.

The industry had told reporters that this is a means of smuggling of rare earth. Price of up to several hundred thousand tons of heavy rare earths, mixed together with flour or talcum powder to bypass customs inspection, the flow of the customs, and then refined in a foreign country. Colorless, odorless powder mix together, it is difficult to distinguish.

Mr Wong said, that line is very risky, a Hong Kong car one million yuan, if a problem of domestic cars and drivers have been seized, the driver and then go take a couple of years in prison, then the company will pay nearly $ 200 million.

"These private live, we can do it, you can not do what we do not hard embrace." Wong said, "within its capabilities, we can promise to the customer, such as one day out of a few tons of cargo can, if dozens of tons of goods to be once we finished out, it certainly can not do. "
