Rare earth market update on November 11, 2025
The domestic rare earth market overall shows a slow warming trend. Under the influence of various uncertainties, light and heavy rare-earth markets perform differently, with actual transaction volumes still needing improvement.
In the light rare-earth market, with downstream users maintaining essential procurement and strong production cost support, suppliers generally exhibit high reluctance to sell and bullish sentiment, pushing mainstream praseodymium-neodymium prices higher. Today, praseodymium-neodymium oxide and praseodymium-neodymium metal prices increased by approximately RMB 6,000 per ton and RMB 5,000 per ton, respectively.
In the medium-heavy rare-earth market, product prices are locally stable with minor adjustments in some cases, mainly due to slow downstream demand follow-through and insufficient strong bullish factors. Today, terbium oxide and holmium oxide prices stand at approximately RMB 6,650,000 per ton and RMB 502,000 per ton, respectively.
