Rare Earth Market - August 13, 2026

Rare earth market update on August 13, 2026

The domestic rare earth market as a whole maintains a tepid trend, mainly attributable to the prolonged volatile downward trend of rare earth prices over the previous period with relatively large declines, which forced suppliers to generally enhance their profit awareness, thereby narrowing the room for further price declines.

In addition, the downstream rare earth industry is developing well, and the market has relatively large demand for rare earth functional materials, which is also a major driving force for suppliers to maintain firm quotations. A research report from Dongguan Securities pointed out that humanoid robots are expected to open up the second growth pole for rare earth demand this year, and rare earth product prices may gradually recover.
