Rare earth market update on December 1, 2025
On Monday, the domestic rare earth market remained generally average overall, with slightly different price trends for mainstream light and heavy rare earth products. According to CTIA GROUP LTD, increased downstream user inquiry and procurement enthusiasm along with tightening low-priced supply have driven tentative price increases for praseodymium-neodymium, with praseodymium-neodymium oxide and praseodymium-neodymium metal prices increasing by approximately RMB 9,000/ton and RMB 12,000/ton respectively. Dysprosium-terbium prices maintained stable operation, mainly attributed to lack of improvement in market demand and insufficient motivation for suppliers to raise prices; today, terbium oxide and holmium oxide prices consolidated around RMB 6,550,000/ton and RMB 498,000/ton respectively.
