Rare Earths Market Faces Uncertainty Amid Trump Trade Policies

Via Metal Miner The Rare Earths MMI Monthly Metals Index displayed bearish sentiment as it entered 2025, dropping by 3.08%. Weak Chinese demand for metals across the board had at least some impact on the downward direction of the index month-over-month. Considering major changes are underway in the global rare earth industry, this created downward short-term price pressure. As far as the U.S.

is concerned, the incoming Trump administration could impose tariffs that would impact any raw materials imported from China, which could potentially raise U.S. rare earth prices in the long term. China's export ban on gallium, germanium and antimony also went into full effect in December, adding additional volatility to the rare earths market. The Trump Transition The inauguration of President Donald Trump in January 2025 signals a transformative period for U.S. trade policies. Rare earths are indispensable in manufacturing high-tech products, including smartphones, electric vehicles and advanced defense systems. The administration's proposed strategies are poised to influence both the pricing and import dynamics of rare earths in the U.S. Rare Earths and Trump Challenges Introducing tariffs on Chinese goods is central to President Trump's trade policies. Reports suggest that the administration is exploring imposing a 60% tax on imports from China and a 10% tax on goods from other countries. The strategy emphasizes safeguarding sectors tied to economic stability and national defense. According to Reuters, such tariffs could push overall rates to levels unseen since the Great Depression, posing significant risks to supply chains dependent on rare earth elements from China. China currently dominates the global rare earth market, accounting for around 70% of total supply. In response to U.S. trade measures, China has signaled the possibility of utilizing its foothold on the industry to limit rare earth exports to the United States
