2011 began with a 35% YOY drop in Chinese rare earth export quotas and further speculation of higher short-term prices. Purchasing has been slow to pick up in January, however, as REE consumers take time to digest the new supply limits.
Share prices of many prospective rare earth mining companies have continued to surge while investors remain mixed as to what direction the market will take long-term.
With the rare earth market still in a period of volatility, don't miss Asian Metal's upcoming International Rare Earth Summit 2011. The conference will be the first and only event held outside of China to include major international consumers, traders, and mining groups, as well as Chinese suppliers and producers. The conference will address the question: what is next for the rare earth industry?
Specific topics include:
- Rare earths and the global supply chain
