Could a Chinese Blacklist Be Bullish for Rare-Earth Stocks?
Key PointsChina instituted new export restrictions in June that affected companies like USA Rare Earth and MP Materials.
Geopolitical tensions between the United States and China are driving bullish sentiment for U.S. rare-earth stockholders. China maintains dominance in the global market for rare-earth mineral extraction and processing, using this leverage to maneuver through strained relations with the U.S., Japan, and the European Union. Despite U.S. and allied efforts to decrease reliance on Chinese rare-earth supplies, progress remains limited.
