Rare earth market update on April 27, 2026
On Monday, the domestic rare earth market continued to run weak overall, mainly reflected in the continued decline in praseodymium-neodymium (Pr-Nd) prices, difficulties in updating dysprosium-terbium prices, low activity in market transactions, and slow order growth. According to CTIA GROUP's information from Zhongtung Online, the recent decline in Pr-Nd prices from high levels was influenced by factors such as limited consumption capacity of downstream users, significant price increases in raw materials earlier this month, and insufficient supportive factors. Today, the prices for praseodymium-neodymium oxide, praseodymium-neodymium metal, terbium oxide, and dysprosium oxide are approximately RMB 780,000/ton, RMB 960,000/ton, RMB 6,120,000/ton, and RMB 1,380,000/ton, respectively.
In terms of news, data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows that from January to March 2026, the total profit of industrial enterprises above designated size nationwide reached RMB 1,696.04 billion, an increase of 15.5% year-on-year. Among them, the mining industry achieved a total profit of RMB 256.33 billion, an increase of 16.2%; the manufacturing industry achieved a total profit of RMB 1,238.43 billion, an increase of 19.1%; and the electricity, heat, gas, and water production and supply industry achieved a total profit of RMB 201.28 billion, a decrease of 3.2%.
