Rare Earths Rally After Department Of Defense Sets A Price Floor
By Metal Miner
The global rare earth metals market has seen a whirlwind of developments in the past few weeks, sending ripples through both supply chains and pricing. A series of U.S. and Chinese policy moves, from Washington's unprecedented price support for rare earth magnets to Beijing's export curbs, continue to reshape this critical sector.

The interest, for now, is strictly international and not targeting domestic audiences.
Chinese regulators sent out guidance to brokerages last month to cool off on publishing research and making public comments related to stablecoins amid concerns it was renewing domestic interest in cryptoc...
