Rare Earth Prices Consolidate Amidst Supply-Demand Weakness; ITOCHU Eyes Aviation Capital Group Investment

A CITIC Securities report indicates that rare earth prices are currently in a consolidation phase due to weak supply and demand. While production saw a significant drop in July, a potential improvement is expected in August. Downstream demand has also decreased due to the summer holiday season, with expectations of a pickup in late August and September as inventory restocking begins, which could stabilize and drive prices upward. Separately, ITOCHU Corporation is considering an investment in Aviation Capital Group, a US subsidiary of Tokyo Century Corporation, with a board decision expected soon. AI

    CITIC Securities: Supply and demand are both weak, rare earth prices are consolidating, and expectations for the peak season are expected to help upward.

    36氪获悉,中信建投研报表示,7月稀土各品种表现差异明显,氧化镨钕先扬后抑,氧化铽跳涨后回调,氧化镝整体平稳。供给端,由于废料厂原料紧张问题导致产量明显下滑,据上海有色网,7月氧化镨钕产量环比下降11%,8月或有边际改善,但总体产量仍被压制。下游高温假期导致电机厂开工下滑,需求回落,8月仍处淡季,金九银十是传统消费旺季,市场对需求启动预期依然较强,8月中下旬有望重启下游备库,打破供需双弱格局,推动价格企稳向上。
