BEIJING (Asian Metal) 19 Aug 15 - Current neodymium oxide 99.5%min prices went down by around 8% from those of late July to RMB225,000-230,000/t (USD35,211-35,994/t) by cash payment
“I sold around 10 tons of neodymium oxide 99.5%min at around RMB225,000/t (USD35,211/t) by cash payment early this week . Neodymium oxide demand remains poor and the majority of buyers are not interested in making purchases . We can only make deals with few regular clients now . As the demand shows no signs of rebounding, I think the price will drop further in the coming two weeks,” said a producer in South China.
The producer, whose annual production capacity of neodymium oxide is 300 tons, has produced around 20 tons of the material per month so far this year as a result of persistently poor demand. He holds an inventory of around 30 tons now.
"As far as I know, neodymium oxide 99.5%min prices declined to RMB225,000-230,000/t (USD35,211-35,994/t) by cash payment, down by around RMB19,000/t (USD2,973/t) from those of late July . To be honest, I lack confidence in the market in the coming days, but we are not going to sell the material within this week at current price level owing to stable production cost . We will accept price declines if the price keep going down next week, ” said another producer in South China.
"Our plant has begun overhaul since late July and will resume production in late August,” added the producer, whose annual production capacity of neodymium oxide 99.5%min is around 250 tons . The plant produced about 15 tons of the material in July and has continued to halt production so far in August . The producer has around 60 tons of stock at the moment .
. The market witnesses few inquiries and reducing deals . Suppliers have difficulty in making deals and lack confidence in the market in the coming days . It is predicted that the price will slide a bit in the coming two weeks.“I sold around 10 tons of neodymium oxide 99.5%min at around RMB225,000/t (USD35,211/t) by cash payment early this week .
