China’s dysprosium oxide production in November was 216 mt, down 0.8% MoM. The dip was mainly reflected in Jiangxi.
According to SMM, shutdown of some separation plants for maintenance lowered dysprosium oxide production by 18% in Jiangxi. However, news of Myanmar's customs closure resurfaced in November, some rare earth ore traders imported goods into China ahead of the closure. Therefore, with sufficient ion-absorption rare earth ore, output medium and heavy rare earth increased in some areas. Among them, dysprosium oxide output in Guangdong and Guangxi in November was up 20% MoM and 15% MoM.
