Thursday, May 23, 3:25 PM China's exports of rare earth metals have rallied in recent months, a trend attributed to low rare earth prices and Japanese demand. But Molycorp (MCP -2.9%), whose shares have jumped 30% in the past two weeks, says it might be premature to assume a firm turnaround in global demand: "Inventories have been built up over the past several years, and they are returning to more normal levels now." 5 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]

ETF Losers: TAN -4.5%. VXX -3.2%. REMX -3.1%. PSLV -1.8%. GDXJ -1.5%. Comment! [On the Move]
Wednesday, January 23, 7:22 AM Molycorp (MCP) -4.3% premarket as the company sets a capital raise, offering a secondary of $200M in common stock and $100M of convertible notes. Both figures could rise another 15% if underwriters exercise their options to buy. (PR) 1 Comment [Commodities, On the Move]
Monday, January 14, 9:54 AM Early strength in Molycorp (MCP +2.2%) is attributed to a takeover story making the rounds highlighting the shares' recent fall below NAV which is turning the high-potential firm into a prime takeover target. Even after rebounding from a record low in November, MCP still trades at a 19% discount to their book value. 1 Comment [Commodities, M&A, On the Move]
Thursday, January 10, 9:46 AM Molycorp (MCP -19.3%) plummets at the open after projecting lower-than-expected revenue and cash flow this year due to weakening rare earth prices. J.P. Morgan cuts its price target on shares to $5 from $8: "We continue to believe MCP will likely have to seek additional capital beyond just a revolver and/or equipment leaseback." AVL -3.9%, REE -3.1%. 2 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
Monday, January 7, 7:27 AM China sets at 46.9K metric tons its first rare earth production quota for 2013 - roughly half the level of 2012. Molycorp (MCP) gains 3% premarket, also helped by Lawrence Balter putting the stock on his list of 2013 underdogs to surprise. The bad news and then some is baked in, he says, keeping his $50 price target on the shares. 10 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX, On the Move]
Friday, December 28, 2012, 10:22 AM China sets its H1 2013 export quota for rare earth resources at 15.5K metric tons to be split among 24 domestic producers. The quota is not always met due to weak global demand; China exported only ~13K metric tons of rare earth ores, metals and compounds in the first 11 months of this year, less than half the full-year 2012 quota. 4 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX]
Monday, December 10, 2012, 3:19 PM Lynas' (LYSCF.PK, LYSDY.PK) plans to ramp up rare earth materials via its new Malaysian plant suffer a setback, as four ministers say it must export waste material in Malaysia or risk having its operating license revoked. The ministers' statement followed reports citing Lynas Malaysia's director as saying the company would not export residue from the plant. MCP +19.8%, AVL +10%, REE +9.5%. 7 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX, On the Move]
Monday, December 10, 2012, 11:35 AM Molycorp (MCP +15.7%) soars, taking the rest of the rare earth sector with it (AVL +6.2%, REE +11%, REMX +1.7%). Traders describe the move as the continuation of a short squeeze in Molycorp - whose shares dropped below 6 in mid-November after being in the mid-30s 7 months earlier. Adding fuel is a report Interactive Brokers has said there is insufficient stock available for short sales. 11 Comments [On the Move, Commodities]
Friday, October 26, 2012, 7:27 AM Shanghai (-1.7%) suffers its biggest decline in weeks, hit by a string of poor earnings reports. Baotou Rare-Earth -7% as it cuts output amidst declines in rare-earth prices. (MCP -1.2% premarket). Maanshan Steel -4.4% after posting a loss that doubled consensus estimates. The country's largest maker of flat panel TVs - Hisense Electric - down 10%, hit by the mix of higher panel costs and lower finished product prices. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
Friday, October 19, 2012, 5:19 PM China's grip on the rare earth market may be slipping, Brad Plumer writes. Two years after China's move to restrict its export quota by 40% - making it economical for other countries to start boosting their own production - the market has adjusted. As a result, rare earth elements simply aren’t as rare as they once were. 5 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX]
Wednesday, September 19, 2012, 10:41 AM As the Arctic melts, the scramble is on for oil, gas and rare earth minerals as they become newly accessible along with increasingly navigable polar shipping shortcuts. So it's no surprise that China is becoming a far more aggressive player in the area, provoking alarm among Western powers. Rare earth names are slightly higher: MCP +1%, AVL +1.7%, REE +0.8%. 14 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX]
Wednesday, September 19, 2012, 7:29 AM As previously rumored, Beijing slashes to 67 from 113 the number of rare earth mining permits it allows, though it's unclear how this will affect actual production. The move comes amidst growing tensions with Japan and speculation China will choke off supplies to Japan, whose electronics industry is a major buyer of the metals. Comment!
