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

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

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。
