In this week, there is a continuous market downturn of China rare earth magnet products, of which most prices remain the same and few go down. However, price of neodymium magnet products has a little scope to rise. Among representative products, price of Dy and Pr remain unchanged.

Nd, as on behalf of metal with rising price, was 345 thousand Yuan per ton at the beginning of this week, but in the end of week, it fell by 350 thousand Yuan. Due to shortage of some neodymium magnets, upstream businesses have no available stock, which leads to a rise of price of some rare earth products. But order of neodymium iron boron market is still under adjustment and price will gradually become stable. According to experts, with debugging of downstream market and regulation of upstream market, neodymium price tends to be stable. Recently, government fights against illegal private mining and strengthens integration policy of rare earth private businesses, which brings great benefits to market operation order in a long term.
