China's rare earth exports increased in June as a result of agreements reached with the US to ease trade tensions.
The world's largest rare earth producer exported 7,742.2 metric tonnes in June, up from 5,864.6 in May, and 60% higher than June 2024.
The total rare earth exports from China for the first six months of the year were 32,569.2 tonnes compared to 29,095.2 tonnes in the same period last year.
It's important to note that the data does not distinguish between the different types of rare earths, with a more detailed breakdown expected to be released on July 20.
