Sector News: Prices of Chinese Rare Earths Are Soaring
Oil.com
reports: BMO Capital Markets says that a
surge in the price of Chinese rare earth metals in November is a reflection of
the geopolitical tensions between that country and the developed world. Commenting
on the sudden price gains in a research note, BMO’s commodity analyst Colin
Hamilton also said that as nations around the world consider self-sufficiency
in rare earths and other critical minerals, while also enacting more trade
restrictions and economic protectionism, the market “is set for long-lasting
transformation over the coming years, one that we believe will likely lead to a
gradual erosion of Chinese dominance in processing capacity.”
November
saw the prices of all major Chinese-sourced rare earths spike, but especially
those used in magnets. In particular, the research note mentioned neodymium,
which is the most common rare earth used in making magnets, which rose by 27%
since early in November, up over 50% year to date. Several other key rare
earths also increased in value last month, including dysprosium (+17%),
gadolinium (+9%) and terbium (+27%).
Another
factor in the price surge is a new law that came into force in China on
December 1, Hamilton noted. Known as the Export Control Law, it creates new
regulations that give the government more control over such exports as
technology and rare earths.
“Market
participants are increasingly of the view that the introduction of the new law
will lead to a restriction of rare earth-based exports from China to key
partners including the U.S., on the pretext that it is safeguarding its
national security,” Hamilton stated.
Though
exports of Chinese rare earth metals have been decreasing in recent years,
Hamilton’s report pointed out that rare earth-based magnet exports have
actually been trending up because of increased global demand, including by the
U.S. In anticipation of concerns that the Chinese government could use the new law
to further curtail exports, “key customers in the U.S. (or perhaps the State
Reserve) have seemingly been buying up as much material as possible, with U.S.
rare earth magnet imports reaching 480 tonnes in September, the highest monthly
total since 2016.”
