Rare earth market quotation in China: domestic rare earth price is unchanged from previous trading day owing to continuous weak demand and unclear guidance from the policy side. Downstream factories are not interested in purchasing materials and thus deals are hardly done. Traders have enough confidence in keeping firm offers at present. Rare earth price in Chinese market will maintain weak adjustment recently.
