Insiders now suggest that prices have dropped, but still optimistic about 9,10 rare earth prices will rebound to continue rising. Current policies more significant impact on market prices and market consolidation period, suppliers may be slightly tightened supply.

Eu Tb market prices relatively stable, there are manufacturers that the advance does not appear terbium oxide, the market outlook is bullish. Big gap between the market price of europium oxide, manufacturers have said that with a ticket price of 5.1 million yuan / ton, month short term will not cut prices to sell. Meanwhile, the Shanghai and Ganzhou insiders indicate there are currently europium oxide with votes 470,480 yuan / ton about the price.

Magnetic scrap market, the current market price is relatively stable, according to market participants reflected on the small retail investors who are bullish bearish situation. Current market price recovery in the short strips mainstream 102-106 yuan / kg, long 114-118 yuan / kg, tiles 134-138 yuan / kg. Market price movements are not the same, or reported steady tone of both, but also reflects the larger traders, manufacturers are now receiving prices fell slightly in the case that this week the market price recovery is unlikely. At market prices of raw materials situation, scrap magnetic fluctuations in the market price will remain, but will not appear temporarily spike situation.

Reporters from the just-concluded "the Seventh International Symposium on Rare Earth Development and Application of the second session of China Rare Earth Summit" has learned that concern RE litigation may result in the formation before the end of this year. From the Chinese Rare Earth Society and the Chinese Society of Rare Earths stakeholders have indicated a greater chance of losing China, Chinese rare earth export policy faces major changes.

"Unsuccessful outcome is Chinese rare earth quotas cancellation policy, open the supply of rare earths, the government can not constrain the export business behavior." One has been involved in the matter experts told reporters that the past experience shows that companies competing prices is inevitable.

Meanwhile, the uncontrolled expansion of domestic production capacity of rare earth, rare earth application of collective weakness, so this has been widely favored industry in recession, the industry had been high hopes for the domestic market is also a two-year price "roller coaster" gradually shrinking .

Go to the quota of?

In the August 11 meeting of Ganzhou Rare Earth, in addition to industry analysis, how to control excess capacity to become one of the most important issues, the background is still kept in secret rare earth litigation. In 2009 the EU was first proposed lifting of the rare metal products requires China's export quota system; 2010 United States, Mexico and other countries WTO ED also submitted memorandum demanding that the Chinese rare earth export quota system canceled; 2012 U.S., EU official in the WTO China's rare earth export quota system proceedings.


It is understood, Ganzhou Rare Earth conference shortly before the Chinese Society of Rare Earths relevant agencies should be required to provide to the WTO once material. Experts said that the elimination of export quotas for the possible impact, has begun to assess the worst case back to the old way, foreign companies took orders to the domestic enterprises to seek to find a quote, attracted companies competing underselling, "rare earths Prices may have to return to 'cabbage price'. "

China Rare Earth Association Deputy Secretary-General Chen Zhanheng said, now is oversupply, the annual quota of 30,000 tons, the actual sales 10,000 tons, it is in terms of supply and demand will be no major changes, "if the elimination of quotas, tariffs have come down smuggling does not make sense. "

One can not ignore the background, the current domestic rare earth separation smelting capacity has been severely surplus. Ganzhou Rare Earth Group Qiandong Gong Bin, chairman and managing director, told reporters that the current separation of the South ionic rare earth smelting capacity has exceeded 100,000 tons, and as the boss of the Southern Rare Earth Jiangxi in 2013 the first batch of 3,950 tons production target .

"We have a plant capacity is twenty-three one hundred tons, but give only a few dozen tons of indicators, there is enough to eat." An isolated enterprises in Jiangxi official told reporters, "hungry" is a universal phenomenon, very hungry will buy the black ore, "Now is not strict practiced invoices, black mine a lot, so much could not have been separated smelting capacity idle."

According to the China Rare Earth Industry Association, introduced the Secretary-General Ma Rongzhang Southern separated ion ore smelting enterprises to obtain more than 70% of unknown origin. According to statistics, China's rare earth more than 200,000 tons, the actual annual production capacity of 15 to 18 million tons, while the actual global annual demand of 13 million tons, China's demand of about 100,000 tons.

Chinese Society of Rare Earths expert who requested anonymity told reporters that although the pattern of rare earth supply diversification trends are becoming evident, "but if the abolition of quotas and tariffs, China rare earth prices will plummet, topple other countries may again rare earth production line. "

A year ago, the reporter had learned that national administrations organize expert-level discussions, assessment of rare earth export quotas after the abolition of the impact of policy, in the long term rare earth export quotas is the general direction, but the premise is to make domestic production order straightened out, to avoid confusion after the opening.

Bin Gong that rare earth production capacity from the south point of view, the central enterprises and local state-owned holding separate production capacity has reached 78.5 percent, close to the national requirements of large enterprise groups control 80 percent of the south separating capacity requirements.

"But now the 80% is an enlarged version, is not consistent with the original intention of the State Council, if the unlimited expansion of production capacity, control useless, is a waste." The expert said.

Officials from the Ministry of Commerce, said the earth is still kept in secret proceedings, can not be made public. However, the officials said, to solve the rare earth export problems of excess capacity and not simply expect the government's policy, the industry itself needs discipline.

Industry "recession"

According to China Rare Earth Industry Association statistics, in 2012 the output of these three were Applied Materials fell significantly, magnetic yield 78,000 tons, 04,500 tons luminescent materials, hydrogen storage materials, 08,200 tons, down 11.9%, respectively, 43.8% 34.4%, while in the field of non-mainstream applications catalyst "slightly."

China Rare Earth Industry Association of rare earth price index compiled by the December 2012 of 234.1 points down to 3 July 2013 of 153.8 points, down 52.2%, then rebounded to 5 August, up 19.6%.

However, Ma Rongzhang still said that despite the recent praseodymium, neodymium, terbium, dysprosium, europium prices rise up to 100%, but can not make up the shrinking market.

Beijing Nonferrous Metal Research Institute Zhuang Weidong rare earth luminescent materials expert, told reporters that now, in addition to downstream applications of rare earth magnetic material relative prosperity, the light-emitting materials, hydrogen storage materials are very depressed, "LED light-emitting material by a big impact, lithium hydrogen storage materials are facing the squeeze. "Zhuang Weidong said, LED and lithium battery industry growth rate than originally predicted to be fast.

However, the relative prosperity of the magnetic field is currently facing Japan's patented extrusion. Japan's Hitachi Metals official website announced that its global total of more than 600 applications NdFeB, where more than 100 applications in the United States, in China in the year 2000 did not start the application to be published recently by some media quoted insiders as saying up to 320 more. The Hitachi Metals announced this year in addition to already authorized Zhong Ke San Huan, Ningbo Yunsheng, Beijing Beijing and magnetic eight enterprises, no longer licensed to other Chinese enterprises. 2012 Hitachi Metals has been requested in the United States on Chinese enterprises, "337", the final Chinese enterprises to pay to obtain patents pending.

It is reported by patents squeeze some Chinese companies are organized resistance, more than a dozen medium-sized rare earth neodymium formed a business alliance companies, each contributed $ 1.5 million to prepare the United States to prosecute Hitachi Metals.

Ma Rongzhang in Ganzhou Rare proposed to open up new fields of application, such as Chinese surplus every year 30,000 to 50,000 tons of lanthanum, cerium rare earth, rare earth catalyst, if the market is likely to open, you can partially digested these surplus products.

But from Japan Hirosaki University Faculty of Humanities, Professor Dr. Huang Xiaochun pointed out that from the 1970s to date, there have been no applications of rare earth revolutionary technological breakthrough, which reduces the explosive growth in demand for rare earth application possibilities, he believes now overseas Rare weak demand, partly because rare earth prices curbed demand, on the other hand is also a technical bottleneck caused by natural decrease.

Chinese Ministry of Land and official website announced that the 2013 mining of rare earth minerals such as total control indicators have been identified. It is understood that this year China will maintain constant total ionic rare earth mining, while modest increases in rock and mineral type rare earth mining index.

From the point of view other minerals, tungsten mining maintain total control 2012 levels; while controlling the total antimony mining moderately reduced.

26 August 11th ministerial meeting at the office, the Department of Homeland considered and passed in principle "on the MLR issued 2013 annual rare earth ore mining tungsten ore antimony total control notification."

It is understood that, in order to accelerate the transformation of the mode dominant mineral management, and prevent overheated investment market overreaction phenomenon, the Ministry of Land Reform and approval system combines mining, rare earth mine in preparing 2013 annual antimony tungsten ore mining total control indicators clearly, cancellation policies antimony ore mining pause, adjust tungsten and rare earth ore mining differentiated management policy, fine antimony ore utilization indicators restrictive policy.

Meanwhile, the "notice" clearly, antimony ore exploration and mining is no longer suspended registration, according to prescribed procedures and requirements apply. Xinli antimony ore mining rights, should be consistent with total control of mining requirements. Department of Homeland this as "decentralization, changing functions" an important tool.

China is the world's largest rare earth production, application and exporter. Official data show that China has 23% of the world's rare earth resources bear more than 90% of the world market supply. However, due to serious environmental problems facing the mining of rare earth, rare earth resources in China's official current implementation of more stringent environmental standards and eco-protective mining policy.

In fact, rare earths and other important minerals for renovation, this year China's official moves frequently. Middle of this month, the Ministry of Public Security, the Department of Homeland eight departments have jointly organized a three-month special action to combat it. Illegal exploitation of rare earth, illegal production chain of black interests are on the scope of the strike action.

Earlier this year, May to June, the Department of Homeland also carried out one pair of rare earth mining and construction projects recycling of rare earth resources in a comprehensive investigation.

It is understood that, according to the State Council decided in July to December, the Customs Department in conjunction with the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Environmental Protection and other 10 departments in the country to carry out a large-scale struggle against smuggling and joint action. This is our decade biggest smuggling operations. Will be drug trafficking, arms and ammunition smuggling, smuggling of endangered wildlife and its products, rare earth and other resource exports smuggling and defrauding export tax rebates and other illegal and criminal activities of ten special combat.

According to the General Administration of Customs reported in the fight against smuggling of resource products, from Hohhot Customs Investigating a pseudo reported exports of rare earths smuggling and other ways of smuggling cases, involving verification of 130 tons of rare earth, worth 12,090,000 yuan.

Recently, organized by the Ministry of rare earth crackdown is also actively promoting, in the rare earth industry chain hitting and stimulating way to combat smuggling, it is expected rare earth prices will continue to rise. Asian Metal Analysts said the recent volume of rare earth although deserted, but vendors are still optimistic and expects rare earth prices will rise further.

Since the Ministry of Industry on August 7 release remediation rare earth industry to action plan, the rare-earth prices have opened the prelude to gradually bid farewell to the past "cabbage price." Action plan that starting from the 15th of this month, will be joint Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Land Resources, Ministry of Environmental Protection and other eight ministries, to carry out a three-month fight against rare earth mining, production, circulation of illegal acts of the special action. The unprecedented action to combat efforts to rectify, since the implementation eliminate the market played a very good role. The rare earth stocks have soared along with the red, rare earth prices rose again. In addition, overseas rare earth mine production delays of production, but also caused some supply shortage of rare earth price of a certain support.

Rare earth prices opened the prelude

Analysts believe that by the domestic rare earth prices continued to rise due to the role of two factors, both government crack down on illegal production factors, but also overseas rare earth mine can not be put into production factor. Rare earth prices, is expected to help improve China's rare earth industry, the industry profit, out of the industry downturn.

Insiders said that the current downturn in the industry, the main industry is trapped in chaos and excess production capacity. As the rare earth industry with high profits and adequate supply, so many people take the risk, contrary to the relevant laws and regulations, secretly exported. Judging from the customs statistics, exports of rare earth is shrinking, but the foreign rare earth supply has not been affected, showing that private mining issues such as excessive digging and smuggling of rare earth industry in comparison flooding. But also for rare earth materials manufacturers, a lot of people in order to make the difference and avoid state taxes, preferring to risk the purchase of raw ore from private mines. These practices have weighed on the domestic rare earth prices, and caused a decline in performance rare earth enterprises. In addition to smuggling, but also contributed to overcapacity in the industry downturn one of the reasons. The current global production capacity of rare earth minerals, including private, including about 200,000 to 300,000 tons, while global demand for rare earth is only ten tons, the formation of oversupply, resulting in rare earth prices have been low. With the government to combat and rectify the rare earth industry, work, black mineral smuggling has decreased significantly in the short term supply shortage caused by some form of price support space.

Overseas lack of productivity is the price of rare earth minerals present upward trend for a reason. Reported that, according to the rare earth mine to resume production overseas fastest and largest U.S. molybdenum company released the latest financial report, total sales in the second quarter of 3039 tons of rare earth, the average price of 45.04 U.S. dollars / kg, gross loss of $ 18.5 million. This is not the first time that the United States molybdenum losses: in 2012 its heavy losses to $ 460 million; 2013 first quarter sales of 3,274 tons, with an average price of $ 44.71, gross loss of $ 20.5 million. Severe loss of molybdenum company makes the United States slowed the pace of expansion, the suspension of a number of projects to start building. Relative reduction in market supply of rare earth, rare earth prices have rebounded.

In the "2013-2017 China rare earth market analysis and investment value study report", the prices of rare earth elements at home and abroad by the role, but should see foreign manufacturers continue to march to the expansion of the rare earth industry, the future of rare earth supply will be diversified oriented, for the Chinese rare earth industry impact.

It is understood that, in mid-June to 23 August light rare earth neodymium praseodymium oxide has gained 48% in heavy rare earth dysprosium and terbium oxide were up 104% and 87%.

Analysts believe that, with the thorough investigation of private mines nationwide began the year and indicators used, the majority of smelting separation plant is gradually shut down and stop shipments, the majority of raw materials inventory smelting separation enterprises will run out before October, will cause earth supply further tension. After a long time to inventory, the current domestic stocks at a low level, the formation of rare earth prices favorable support. Secondly, the recent national purchasing and storage, and a large group of rare earth integration solutions may exist launched, is expected to further boost the market sentiment.
