Rare Earths · USGS + MetalpriceAPI
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
