CITIC Securities has released a report indicating a significant increase in the price of praseodymium-neodymium oxide, projecting a 73.6% year-over-year rise to 731,000 yuan/ton by the first half of 2026. This price surge is attributed to tightening supply, with reduced imports and stricter domestic rare earth management policies, coupled with growing demand from the new energy vehicle and robotics sectors, including Tesla's upcoming mass production of robots. The report forecasts a widening global rare earth supply-demand gap, supporting long-term price increases and recommending strategic allocation to the rare earth industry chain. Separately, the first batch of CSI REITs total return index funds were launched on July 1st, with industry experts noting that the current REITs market valuation is attractive for long-term investors seeking stable cash flow and high dividends, especially in a declining interest rate environment.
