China's decision to scrap export quotas and taxes on rare earth elements may boost stalled demand for the products, according to Lynas Corp. Ltd. Users have been drawing down on stockpiles while awaiting clarity over China's policy on the export of the elements, Amanda Lacaze, chief executive officer of Malaysia-based Lynas, said in an April 24 interview. Rare earths are used in everything from cruise missiles to iPads. "In the short term, a lot of what has been damping demand will be released," Lacaze said. "Some customers have been living off inventories and they'll come back and start placing orders." Lynas, one of two major producers outside of China, rose as much as 30 percent in Sydney after Molycorp Inc., the largest U.S. producer, jumped 9.4 percent April 23 in New York.
