From the rare earth index chart, it can be clearly seen that the domestic rare earth prices picked up in early July, and the prices of mainstream commodities in the rare earth market have increased to varying degrees recently, and the rare earth market has stopped falling and picked up. In terms of products:

It can be clearly seen from the product price trend chart that the prices of domestic mainstream products such as neodymium oxide, metallic neodymium, praseodymium neodymium oxide, praseodymium neodymium alloy, praseodymium oxide and metallic praseodymium are gradually rising. As of July 2, the price of neodymium oxide in domestic rare earth is 480000 yuan / ton; The price of metal neodymium is 595000 yuan / ton; The price of praseodymium neodymium oxide is 487500 yuan / ton; The price of PR nd alloy is 602500 yuan / ton; The price of praseodymium is 700000 yuan / ton; The price of praseodymium oxide is 570000 yuan / ton, and all products have increased in varying degrees. Most of them have risen for 2 working days in a row. The turning point of domestic light rare earth market is now, and the market price is gradually rising.

The domestic rare earth market has stopped falling and recovered, the inflection point of supply and demand structure is coming, the demand for high-end magnetic materials is increasing, and the profit margin of rare earth industry chain is opening up. In the near future, China’s rare earth quota on the supply side may increase steadily, the supply rigidity is optimized, and the new energy efficiency standards are implemented. The proportion of frequency conversion air conditioners in domestic household appliances and NdFeB penetration rate will continue to increase, and the demand side is expected to continue to rise. The sales of new energy vehicles are relatively normal, and the demand for rare earth is high. The main rare earth raw materials of high performance NdFeB are light rare earth praseodymium neodymium oxide, heavy rare earth dysprosium oxide and terbium oxide, which are used in new energy vehicles, wind power, energy-saving frequency conversion air conditioning, traditional vehicles and other fields. According to statistics, the sales of new energy vehicles are still good. According to the data released by China Automobile Industry Association, in May 2021, the sales volume of the automobile industry is expected to reach 2.224 million units, a month on month decrease of 2.1% and a year-on-year increase of 0.5%; From January to may, the cumulative sales volume of the automobile industry is estimated to be 10.951 million, a year-on-year increase of 37.6%. Recently, the downstream demand has increased more than before, and the market price of light rare earth has turned to the rising channel.

It can be seen from the trend chart that the price trend of dysprosium in China is getting warmer, and the price of dysprosium oxide is 2.385 million yuan / ton as of the 2nd; The price of dysprosium ferroalloy is 2.38 million yuan / ton, and the price of dysprosium metal is 3.265 million yuan / ton. The domestic price of terbium series rises correspondingly. The domestic price of terbium oxide is 6.525 million yuan / ton, and that of metal terbium is 8.3 million yuan / ton. The transaction of domestic rare earth market has improved, the leading magnetic material factory has continued to expand, the demand for replenishment has made the domestic heavy rare earth market prices warmer and higher, coupled with Myanmar’s ban on exports, the global supply of rare earth is more concentrated, and Myanmar is one of the production areas next only to China and the United States. Myanmar has a great influence on the domestic heavy rare earth market products, the import source has decreased significantly, the market supply of heavy rare earth on the floor is general, the recent downstream procurement is active, and the market price trend has stopped falling and warmed up.

Recently, the “notice on industrial energy conservation supervision in 2021″ stressed that enterprises in key industries such as iron and steel, non-ferrous metal smelting, petrochemical and chemical industry, building materials and so on should be comprehensively investigated, and special supervision on the implementation of mandatory energy consumption quota standards per unit product should be carried out, so as to finally achieve full coverage of energy conservation supervision of enterprises in key industries during the “14th five year plan”. Industry insiders believe that this reflects the strengthening of government control over the rare earth industry, which is conducive to the healthy development of the industry. Since 2021, the overall demand of rare earth products is fair, the downstream demand has increased recently, the phenomenon of replenishment is frequent, and the price of domestic rare earth market has risen.

In 2021, the first batch of rare earth mining, smelting and separation total amount control indicators increased significantly, which was related to the strong downstream demand. The Ministry of natural resources issued the total amount control indicators of rare earth mining in 2021. In 2021, the total amount control indicators of the first batch of rare earth mines (rare earth oxide REO, the same below) in China were 84000 tons, including 11490 tons of ionic (mainly medium and heavy rare earth) rare earth mines, The index of rock ore type (light) rare earth ore is 72510 tons. The first batch of tungsten concentrate (tungsten trioxide content 65%, the same below) has a total mining control index of 63000 tons, of which the main mining index is 46890 tons and the comprehensive utilization index is 16110 tons. In 2021, the total amount of rare earth and tungsten mining will continue to be controlled, the national policy will be favorable, and the domestic price of rare earth will rise.

With the sustainable development of new energy vehicles, wind power and variable frequency air conditioning in the downstream of rare earth, and the continuous demand, coupled with the normal start of domestic rare earth supply, the recent on-site transactions have increased, and the purchase is active. Business analyst Chen Ling expects that the market price of rare earth will maintain a rising trend in the future.

1、 Price trend:

According to the data of the large list of business agencies, the domestic PA6 market market adjustment and operation are mainly in June, and spot prices are adjusted narrowly. As of June 30, the main offer price of sample enterprises for Zhongwei 2.75-2.85 was about 15000 yuan / ton, up 2.97% compared with the average price at the beginning of the month, with a rise of 23.29% compared with the same period last year.

2、 Analysis of influencing factors:

In terms of caprolactam in the upstream, the trend of June was adjusted slightly. At the beginning of the month, international crude oil was stronger, but the benzene external market continued to decline, and the peripheral news was empty. In addition, styrene continued to decline, dragging the center of gravity of pure benzene. In the middle of the middle, the inventory of pure benzene port was low, and the domestic pure benzene price continued to rise, and then the fluctuation and consolidation, and lidocarbonamide stabilized. In the second ten days, the supply of pure benzene decreased continuously and the price was stronger. In addition, some caprolactam enterprises have been overhauled and the supply is tightened. It is expected that caprolactam may continue to rise in the short term.

The raw material caprolactam is narrow and vibrated, and it turns warm at the end of the month. The cost side support of PA6 is still acceptable. The spot market of PA6 in the first ten days was also stable, and the profit of PA6 polymerization enterprises in the next half of the month improved limited. At present, the traditional off-season impact of rubber and plastic industry is still in progress. Downstream factories tend to take goods only, and follow up is slow. The transaction on the site is weak, and the actual delivery and investment are mostly small orders. However, there are still some enterprises in the industry to maintain production lines, and the supply side is good for conventional spinning and slicing products. In addition, the strength of caprolactam at the end of the month, the spot price of PA6 at the end of the month rose.

3、 Post market forecast:

Analysts from business society think: the caprolactam market in the upper reaches of PA6 in June is generally stable and has been strong at the end of the month. PA6 cost side support is acceptable. Affected by off-season, the end-user consumption is low, downstream enterprises just need to buy mainly, the on-site investment is poor, and the wait-and-see mentality is strong. It is expected that the spot price of PA6 will rise in the short term or will be affected by the strong upstream.

According to the statistics of Gaishi automobile, in May, the global new energy vehicle market received good news and continued to recover. The monthly sales of new energy vehicles in all countries showed a three digit year-on-year growth, led by the growth rate of over 600% in the UK; Many countries have reopened, and business confidence has boosted economic recovery. Some government subsidies for electric vehicles and increased investment in crossover vehicles have injected a “booster” into the new energy market. The global new energy vehicle market has a bright future, and the demand for cobalt is expected to rise in the future.

Cobalt Market Risk news

It can be seen from the statistical data released by China Academy of information technology that in May 2021, the domestic market mobile phone shipment volume was 22.968 million, a year-on-year decrease of 32.0%. From January to may, the total domestic market mobile phone shipment volume was 148 million, a year-on-year increase of 19.3%. From the data of the first five months of 2021, the domestic mobile phone market still maintained rapid growth, showing an overall upward trend. However, in April and may 2021, the mobile phone shipment decreased year-on-year, the upward trend of the mobile phone market slowed down, and the upward momentum of the cobalt Market weakened.

According to the data released by the State Administration of market supervision and administration, up to now, Jiangnan motor has recalled some zhongtaiyun 100s electric vehicles, Tesla motor (Beijing) and Tesla motor (Shanghai) have recalled some imported and domestic model 3 and domestic model y electric vehicles, and Zhengzhou Daily has recalled some Shuaike pure electric vehicles, In 2021, the enterprises recalled 1.2838 million defective new energy vehicles, accounting for 22.13% of the total number of new energy vehicles. The recall of new energy vehicles with multi brand, multi quantity and high proportion will make consumers have doubts about the quality of new energy vehicles, or affect the sales of new energy vehicles in the future.

Market Overview

Bai Jiaxin, a data analyst at business news agency, believes that with the increase of mobile phone production, the global and domestic markets of new energy vehicles have risen sharply, and the demand for cobalt market has risen, and the cobalt market is more favorable. However, in April and may, the shipment volume of mobile phone market decreased year-on-year, the demand for cobalt in mobile phone market declined, the large-scale recall of new energy vehicles increased consumers’ worry about the quality of new energy vehicles, and the sales volume of new energy vehicles in the future may not be as expected. Generally speaking, the demand of cobalt market is expected to rise in the future, but the overall rise may not be as expected. The support for the rise of cobalt market is insufficient, and the power for the continuous rise of cobalt price is limited. It is expected that the cobalt price will not break the 400000 yuan mark in the future.
