Shanghai Metals Market reported in August that China's PrNd oxide output rose approximately 10% month-on-month, driven primarily by scrap recyclers increasing operating rates after maintenance.

Shanghai Metals Market also noted that President Xi Jinping visited the United States for state talks starting September 23, fueling market sentiment and speculative price increases for PrNd. In late September, major producers entered the market to purchase PrNd oxide, strengthening supplier price offers and shifting transaction centers upward, according to Shanghai Metals Market.
