Neodymium price & supply intelligence

Neodymium drives NdFeB magnet costs across EV motors, wind turbines, and defense actuators. ElementWatch surfaces NdPr spot moves and the policy/production signals that lead them.

What we track

  • NdPr oxide spot pricing (MetalpriceAPI + Argus)
  • Chinese rare-earth export quotas and refinery cadence
  • Lynas, MP Materials, Iluka production releases
  • EV motor + wind turbine magnet demand
  • US DOE rare-earth strategic stockpile signals

Who this is for

EV OEMs, magnet OEMs, wind-turbine procurement, defense primes, and rare-earth refiners hedging input cost.

Decisions ElementWatch supports

  • Whether to lock a forward magnet supply contract
  • Sourcing diversification away from Chinese refining
  • Buffer-stock sizing for next 90 days of NdFeB requirements
