[SMM Rare Earth Weekly Review: Rare Earth Price Fluctuations Narrowed Ahead of Labour Day Holiday] Pr-Nd oxide market prices pulled back slightly at the beginning of the week due to news-driven factors. However, given that spot supply of Pr-Nd oxide remained tight, upstream suppliers held firm on their offers, and low-priced cargoes remained hard to find. As of today, Pr-Nd oxide prices fluctuated and adjusted to 770,000-775,000 yuan/mt over the week.

Driven by expectations of tightening on the supply side, upstream suppliers raised their quotes one after another. However, as bearish news spread, market confidence was severely undermined. As of today, Pr-Nd oxide prices adjusted to 780,000-800,000 yuan/mt within the week.
Apr 23, 2026 15:52[SMM Rare Earth Weekly Review: Rare Earth Prices Continued to Rise This Week, Market Trading Activity Increased] Pr-Nd oxide market prices, supported by raw material costs and expectations of reduced upstream supply, saw a notable increase in downstream purchasing activity. Suppliers raised their offers one after another, and low-priced supplies tightened rapidly. As of today, Pr-Nd oxide prices rose to 773,000-778,000 yuan/mt over the week.
Apr 16, 2026 16:19[SMM Rare Earth News Flash] Affected by multiple factors, as of 17:00 today, the spot Pr-Nd oxide was quoted at 775,000-780,000 yuan/mt, unchanged from the morning price, and spot Pr-Nd alloy was quoted at 935,000-950,000 yuan/mt, also unchanged from the morning price. According to SMM, some transactions of Pr-Nd oxide were concluded at 775,000-777,000 yuan/mt. Some suppliers reported that supplies below 775,000 yuan/mt were hard to find. Although downstream magnetic material enterprises actively inquired and restocked, they showed obvious resistance to high-priced metals, with the highest transaction price of Pr-Nd alloy reaching 945,000 yuan/mt.
Apr 15, 2026 18:06[SMM Rare Earth News Flash] Affected by multiple factors, as of 12:00 PM today, spot Pr-Nd oxide was quoted at 775,000-780,000 yuan/mt, up about 15,000 yuan/mt from 11:00 AM yesterday. Spot Pr-Nd alloy was quoted at 935,000-950,000 yuan/mt, up 17,500 yuan/mt from yesterday. According to SMM, at current prices, some transactions had been concluded below the average Pr-Nd alloy price of 940,000-942,500 yuan/mt, as downstream end-use demand gradually strengthened and acceptance of high-priced raw materials progressively improved.
Apr 15, 2026 11:40Influenced by multiple factors, as of 5:00 PM today, the spot price of Pr-Nd oxide was quoted at 765,000-770,000 yuan/mt, up approximately 5,000 yuan/mt from the 11:00 AM quote. The spot price of Pr-Nd alloy was quoted at 930,000-940,000 yuan/mt, up 10,000 yuan/mt from the morning quote. According to SMM, some transactions were concluded in the Pr-Nd oxide market at current prices. However, the magnetic material sector showed low acceptance of the 930,000-940,000 yuan/mt alloy price, and no transaction information had been obtained for the time being.
Apr 14, 2026 17:10Dear User, Greetings! In recent years, the rare earth-NdFeB magnetic material industry chain has been continuously developing. During the process of refining its industry chain, SMM identified that the existing NdFeB-related data in the original terminal could no longer meet market demands. Therefore, after multiple rounds of surveys and verification, SMM has revised and expanded its original NdFeB data. The specific adjustments are as follows: NdFeB Production: 1. Discontinued 1 data point, namely the Monthly NdFeB Magnet Output by Manufacturer. The discontinued data location: Rare Earth - Rare Earth Production – NdFeB Magnet. 2. Added 5 data points, respectively [National Monthly Total Production], [Monthly Total Production of Sample Enterprises], [Monthly Production of Top-Tier Enterprises], [Monthly Production of Mid-Tier Enterprises], [Production Volume of Marginal Enterprises per Month]. The above data locations are all under Rare Earth - Rare Earth Production – NdFeB Magnet. 3. The above data are all updated monthly, with the update date being the last working day of each month, and the data dimension being the current month's data. 4. The data start date is January 2025. NdFeB Operating Rate: 1. Added five data points: [National Average Operating Rate], [Average Operating Rate of Sampled Enterprises in the Current Month], [Operating Rate of Top-Tier Enterprises in the Current Month], [Operating Rate of Mid-Tier Enterprises in the Current Month], [Operating Rate of Marginal Enterprises in the Current Month]. 2. The above data are located under Rare Earths - Rare Earth Operating Rate – NdFeB Magnet. 3. These data are updated monthly, with the update date being the last working day of each month, reflecting the current month's data. 4. The data series begins in January 2025. NdFeB Capacity 1. Added new category: Rare Earth - Rare Earth Capacity 2. Added four data points: [Quarterly Total NdFeB Capacity in China], [Quarterly NdFeB Capacity of National Top-Tier Enterprises], [Quarterly NdFeB Capacity of Mid-Tier Enterprises Nationwide], [Quarterly NdFeB Capacity of Small-Scale Enterprises Nationwide] 3. Location of the above data: Added new category: Rare Earth - Rare Earth Capacity 4. The above data is updated quarterly, with the update date being the last working day of the final month of each quarter. The data dimension reflects the current quarter. 5. The data start date is March 2025. NdFeB Supply-Demand Balance 1. Discontinued 3 data series: [SMM NdFeB Supply-Demand Balance: Supply], [SMM NdFeB Supply-Demand Balance: Consumption], [SMM NdFeB Supply-Demand Balance: Supply-Demand Balance] 2. Added 3 data series: [SMM NdFeB Supply-Demand Balance: National Total Supply], [SMM NdFeB Supply-Demand Balance: National Total Consumption], [SMM NdFeB Supply-Demand Balance: National Total Supply-Demand Balance] 3. Data location: Rare Earth - Supply-Demand Balance - NdFeB 4. These data series are updated monthly on the last business day of each month, reflecting the previous month's data (e.g., July data updated on August 29). 5. Data coverage starts from January 2025. Pr-Nd Alloy Supply-Demand Balance 1. Added a new classification for Pr-Nd alloy supply-demand balance 2. Added three datasets: [SMM Pr-Nd Alloy Supply-Demand Balance: Supply], [SMM Pr-Nd Alloy Supply-Demand Balance: Consumption], [SMM Pr-Nd Alloy Supply-Demand Balance: Supply-Demand Balance] 3. Data location: Rare Earth - Supply & Demand Analysis - Pr-Nd Alloy 4. The above data is updated monthly, with the update date set as the last working day of each month, reflecting the current month's data 5. The data series starts from January 2025 NdFeB Production and Operating Rate Forecast 1. Discontinued two data series: [Production - Forecast] and [Operating rate - Forecast]. 2. These will be replaced by two alternative data series: [NdFeB - Monthly production schedule expectation] and [NdFeB - Monthly operating rate expectation]. The above data adjustments will officially take effect on September 10, 2025. Users can then query the aforementioned data in the SMM data terminal.
