Price Trend of Chinese Rare Earth Products in June 2026

I. Analysis of China's Rare Earth Price Market in June 2026

According to CTIA GROUP, the price trend of rare earth products in China in June 2026 showed volatile increases, among which the price of praseodymium oxide increased by approximately RMB 30,000/ton, an increase of 3.85%; the price of neodymium oxide increased by approximately RMB 30,000/ton, an increase of 3.87%; the price of praseodymium-neodymium oxide increased by approximately RMB 52,000/ton, an increase of 4.56%; the price of praseodymium-neodymium metal increased by approximately RMB 65,000/ton, an increase of 7.74%; the price of terbium oxide increased by approximately RMB 450/kg, an increase of 7.44%; the price of dysprosium oxide increased by approximately RMB 180,000/ton, an increase of 14.52%; and the price of dysprosium-iron alloy increased by approximately RMB 160,000/ton, an increase of 13.11%.

In June, the favorable market factors mainly included: first, affected by factors such as above-average high-temperature and rainy weather in many places, stricter environmental supervision, declining mine grades, and certain controls on the total volume of rare earth mining and smelting separation, the capacity release pace of some rare earth manufacturers slowed down. Coupled with the limited import volume of rare earth products in China, it became even more difficult to increase incremental spot market supply. Second, with the continued positive development expectations for emerging industries and the implementation of export controls on rare earth items in China, confidence in the future market among industry participants was strengthened to a certain extent, thereby promoting suppliers' sentiment to hold back goods and firm up prices. Third, overseas rare earth supply tightened and prices remained at relatively high levels, and in order to narrow the domestic and international price gap, holders showed a relatively obvious bullish sentiment.
