On March 30th, Wang Caifeng, who has long been engaged in the management of rare earth industries and macro-control work, received an exclusive interview with reporters on the recent surge in rare earth prices, the introduction of rare earth policies, and the future functions of industry associations. Rare earth prices soared recently Strong earthquakes in Japan did not restrain the rise in the price of rare earths. In addition to the "Rare Earth New Deal," rare earth prices have recently found new impetus. "Recently, the price of rare earth can be described as 'a price per day' or even a market with no price." On March 30th, Wang Caifeng, head of the preparation group of the rare earth association and former deputy inspector of the raw materials department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, told the "Daily Economic News". The reporter said. According to media reports, in the past two months, a large amount of social funds began to flow in and large quantities of rare earths were purchased in major producing areas such as Baotou and Jiangxi. "With the involvement and speculation of speculative funds, the rare earth price is being artificially created and the risk is accumulating." According to the latest data provided by Business Club, the price of major domestic rare earth products has risen sharply again. Taking yttrium oxide and yttrium oxide as examples, on March 30, the prices of the two products rose to RMB 540,000/ton and RMB 3,000/kg, respectively, representing an increase of 25.6% and 7.14% from the previous Tuesday. "A lot of people have just bought it and it is obviously speculation," said a Shanghai-based rare earth trading company. For the speculation of hot money speculation, Wang Caifeng did not deny that “it can't be denied that this phenomenon is happening. Now a part of social capital has flowed into this industry, including some of the original traders and other social funds are pouring in, which further increases the Market competition." However, the primary reason for the rise and even soaring prices of rare earths is still policy-driven. “Since last year, the government has successively issued a series of related policies on mining, production, and export, especially the reduction in the planned amount of rare earths, and the market demand is also very strong, which will lead to higher prices. At the same time, the prospects for rare earths by enterprises and businesses Not very clear, it will also cause the price to rise." Wang Caifeng explained. Rising rare earth prices will help China increase its pricing power, but excessively high prices will gradually be transferred to rare earth downstream companies. Once downstream companies cannot afford such price increases, they will bring risks to the entire industry. To this, Wang Caifeng said that raising the price and value of rare earths does not mean that prices can go up and down, but that they should be stabilized in a reasonable range. "Taking functional materials as an example, it does not care how much upstream mineral resources are mined, how many products are produced, and more importantly, unstable upstream product prices will cause downstream industrial chains, including our engineering materials, finished materials, etc., to be affected. ." Association will influence rare earth pricing Recently, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation have issued a notice and decided to adjust the standard of rare earth ore resources tax amount from April 1. "The levy of resource tax should be said to be the correct decision." Wang Caifeng said, "Additional resource tax can curb the excessive exploitation of mineral resources enterprises in resource development, so that under the control of relevant departments, the amount of exploitation is determined according to the market demand." The reporter learned that the gap between the cost of rare earth mining investment and the sales price is staggering, which has stimulated the desire of more and more mining company owners to profiteering. The long-term chaos in the rare earth industry, especially the order of medium- and heavy-earth mining, has caused an unwarranted waste of rare earth resources, which is a far cry from the original intention of the industry's "intensive development." “The increase in resource tax will not and will not cause too great an impact on downstream companies. Taxation should be specifically considered according to market conditions, and it must be further verified and continuously adjusted.†Wang Caifeng explained to reporters that this policy adjustment The purpose is not to advocate the elimination of SMEs, but these companies should comply with the needs of industry development. At present, the establishment of the China Rare Earth Association is only a matter of time. “Preliminary preparations such as the location of the office, research and development of the association's constitution, and the convening of members have already been completed and are now reported. They are waiting for the final approval.†Wang Caifeng said. Wang Caifeng said that he hopes that the Association will be able to play a role similar to the China Steel Association in the future, exert influence on the international pricing of export of rare earth products and export quotas, and lead the healthy and orderly development of the industry. “If it involves only the mining and smelting of two companies, then the association loses its meaning. The country cannot always be in the stage of outsourcing resources. We are considering a complete industrial chain. We must not only have roots and leaves, but also have fruit." It is reported that after the establishment of the rare earth association, according to the development characteristics of the rare earth industry, it will adopt different management modes and methods from other industries, and play a role in information statistics, international cooperation and exchange, and moderate price stabilization.
