Hongpo,
the world appears to have an insatiable appetite for Dysprosium – with your numbers showing exports up over 300% – much more in percentage terms than any of the other rare earths
don’t these numbers indicate stockpiling of Dysprosium by “rest of world” users – it’s obviously an element that they can’t do without, to engage in such behaviour
is that how you interpret the export percentages, or do you see another reason for the imbalance reflected by the percentage increases
