Neodymium-praseodymium oxide, the magnet feedstock for EV motors and wind turbines. Chinese export licensing is the swing variable.
Rare Earths NdPr (NdPr — neodymium-praseodymium) drives every permanent-magnet motor in electric vehicles, direct-drive wind turbines and modern HVAC compressors. Spot: $92/kg, stress index 0.79. The bottleneck is not mining but separation — China processes ~85% of global separated NdPr.
Neodymium-praseodymium oxide, the magnet feedstock for EV motors and wind turbines. Chinese export licensing is the swing variable. At the latest reading, Rare Earths NdPr prints a spot of $92/kg — a move of ▲1.80% over the past twenty-four hours and ▲22.00% across the trailing thirty days.
The v3.2 stress index places MIN.NDPR at 0.79 — a critical reading on a composite that blends price momentum, inventory cover, supplier concentration and geopolitical exposure. The metric is recomputed on every ingestion cycle, and the weekly delta is the line worth tracking rather than the absolute level.
For operators, the question is not the spot itself but the buffer behind it. A tightening reading on Rare Earths NdPr compounds with any incident on a shared transit route or producer, and the cascade is rarely linear. The scenarios below carry MIN.NDPR as an explicit input — each one is wargamed and reviewed against this commodity's exposure profile.
No active scenario currently carries Rare Earths NdPr as an explicit input.
