The rare earth ETF Huatai-PB (516780) and other related products also saw net inflows on April 9, 2026. According to Wind data, after a weakening in supply and demand in March that created price pressure, prices for core rare earth products such as praseodymium and neodymium oxide have risen again since April. As of April 6, the price of praseodymium and neodymium oxide was 729,400 yuan/ton, an increase of 2.3% month-on-month and a rise of 20.13% compared to the end of last year. The tightening of supply and demand balance is the main reason for the rise in rare earth prices. On the supply side, the growth rate of domestic rare earth mining quotas has slowed, while the suspension of mining in Myanmar and Vietnam's ban on raw ore exports have intensified overseas supply tensions. On the demand side, the continuous growth in demand from sectors such as new energy vehicles, wind power, and robotics has driven an increase in rare earth demand. Additionally, in April, downstream magnetic material manufacturers began to purchase at low prices and actively build inventory, pushing rare earth prices upward. In terms of news, at a press conference held by the Ministry of Commerce on April 9, regarding whether to continue delaying rare earth export controls, the spokesperson stated that both China and the United States will maintain communication through the economic and trade consultation mechanism on their respective concerns. China is committed to maintaining the security and stability of the global production and supply chain, fully considering the reasonable demands and concerns of the global civilian sector, including those of the United States, and actively promoting convenient and compliant trade. Export applications that meet the conditions of being for civil use will be approved in accordance with the law.
