During the morning session, the A-share rare earth sector maintained its active momentum, with the CSI Rare Earth Industry Index rising by 2.77% intraday. This performance was primarily driven by a dual boost from accelerating rare earth prices and ongoing improvements in the supply-demand dynamic. Data from BaiChuan YingFu shows that on February 9th, the price of praseodymium-neodymium oxide surged by 7.59% in a single day, bringing the cumulative increase since the start of the year to 34%. The price of praseodymium-neodymium metal also rose by 6.27% on the same day. On the supply side, policy controls and tight spot availability provided strong support, with upstream holders showing low willingness to sell at lower prices. The transaction price for rare earth concentrate between Baotou Steel and China Northern Rare Earth Group increased by 2.4% quarter-on-quarter for Q1. On the demand side, benefits stem from strong traction in emerging sectors like new energy vehicles and robotics. Downstream magnetic material enterprises have shifted from essential purchasing to proactive stockpiling. Huayuan Securities analysis indicates that rare earth varieties are entering a phase characterized by being "easier to rise than fall." The logic for their value reassessment has shifted from a simple supply-demand balance to a multi-dimensional support system, including export countermeasure capabilities, expansion of new material applications, and the increased importance of global supply chain security. Against the backdrop of rising heat in the rare earth sector, the E Fund CSI Rare Earth Industry ETF offers investors a convenient tool for positioning. This fund closely tracks the CSI Rare Earth Industry Index, providing one-click exposure to leading companies across the upstream, midstream, and downstream segments of the rare earth industry chain. In terms of performance, the fund has recently stood out. Data up to February 9th shows its net value increased by 5.21% over the past week, and its year-to-date return reached 10.98%, significantly exceeding the average for similar products. Regarding fund flows, the ETF has attracted continuous capital inflow. As of February 2nd, it had experienced net subscriptions for three consecutive days, with a net inflow of 86.5959 million yuan during that period, and a net subscription amount of 81.0903 million yuan over the past five days. The fund's size has correspondingly grown, with the latest size reaching 623 million yuan, a 15.36% increase from the 540 million yuan recorded at the end of 2025. Its holdings are highly concentrated in core industry players. The top ten holdings include China Northern Rare Earth Group (13.98% weighting), Goldwind Science & Technology (6.12%), and Wolong Electric Drive (5.31%), with a combined weighting exceeding 60%, allowing it to fully benefit from the profit growth across the industry chain driven by rising rare earth prices. The current strong performance of the rare earth sector results from the combined effect of supply rigidity, demand explosion, and strategic value reassessment. As the national government implements total volume control for rare earth mining and smelting separation, supply growth is expected to consistently lag behind demand expansion. Meanwhile, the development of emerging industries like robotics, the low-altitude economy, and defense will further stimulate demand. The E Fund CSI Rare Earth Industry ETF, with its comprehensive industry chain coverage, low management fee, and good liquidity, provides investors with an efficient, high-quality tool for accessing strategic rare earth resources. For investors optimistic about the medium to long-term prospects of rare earths, considering strategies like systematic investment plans or phased position building is advisable, with a focus on leading companies that possess competitive advantages in high-end application areas such as rare earth permanent magnets.
