RE: Neodymium-Praseodymium (NdPr) Oxide, USD/mt14 Jan 2021 05:45
Skulkar, Yes you are right he was quoting Shanghai prices in US$/t, which incidentally is now US$67,485.50 as it went up US$742 today; However as I stated Pensana will be selling into the EU/USA market where last nights price was US$102.25/kg.
Not only are Rare Earth prices rising steadily, the rate of increase appears to be increasing ie we are now in 'Exponential Growth'
Over the last eight weeks, the average daily rise in Shanghai prices was: PrO 0.52% and NdO 0.73%
However, this week the rate of change has averaged almost twice that with PrO 0.94% and NdO 1.36%
If prices continue to rise at this accelerated rate, Neodymium Oxide will reach its (2011) all time price high of US$280/kg in around another 87 trading days time,.ie around June 1st.
IMO There is now a distinct possibility that this year is shaping up to be a repeat of 2011
