rare earths technical

"China's steps to restrict access to rare earths and critical minerals to the West."

Rare earths are a set of 17 metallic elements used as essential ingredients in many high-tech products — from smartphones and electric vehicles to wind turbines and military systems. They matter to investors because their supply is concentrated, production is costly and environmentally sensitive, and price or policy shifts can quickly change profitability for miners, manufacturers and tech companies; think of them as scarce spices that can make or break a product’s recipe.

critical minerals technical

"pivotal moment for the U.S. critical mineral industry and China's steps to restrict access"

Materials needed to build modern technologies—like batteries, electronics, renewable energy systems and defense equipment—that have few easy substitutes and often come from a small number of countries or mines. Investors care because their supply can be disrupted, expensive or slow to increase, which affects the cost, availability and growth prospects of companies and industries that rely on them; think of them as critical spare parts for the global economy.
