Jump in rare earth deals
Print Edition
AROUND 227,000 tons of rare earth products were bought and sold through China’s first national rare earth trading platform in 2015, up more than fivefold from the amount in its inaugural year of 2014.
Turnover in 2015 reached over 24 billion yuan (US$3.6 billion), the Baotou Rare Earth Products Exchange said.
Launched in March 2014 in north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the exchange processed 35,000 tons of rare earth products, with a turnover of more than 5.6 billion yuan, in that year.
More than 100 rare earth enterprises and agents have opened accounts with the exchange, which was started by China North Rare Earth Group Co, the country’s leading rare earth producer, and another 12 firms and institutions.
“This trading platform can help regulate the country’s rare earth market and improve the way rare earth product prices are formed,” said Yang Zhanfeng, a researcher with the Baotou Research Institute of Rare Earths.
The metals are vital for manufacturing high-tech products.
