Report summary
Rare earth prices showed mixed trends in October with key magnet element prices supported by increased purchasing in early October before weakening towards the end of the month. Prices will weaken further in Q4 2022 before recovering at the end of 2022. Prices for other compounds continued to decline in October on weak purchasing activity. Weak global economic strength and supply chain disruption in China continues to impact market sentiment. Energy transition applications continue to build their share of total demand, despite delays to wind energy projects delaying capacity additions to 2023 and 2024. Integration and collaboration throughout the supply chain have intensified, with several companies announcing their interest in off-takes, acquisitions, and cooperative development of projects. Expansions at Chinese processors represent a growing demand for imported feedstock, with an increasingly competitive market for third-party feedstock.
