With a new 15% tariff on Chinese materials and the Pentagon taking a $400M stake in America's sole rare earth mine, the U.S. supply chain is officially being rewired. Watch these 5 domestic beneficiaries:
$MP | US rare earth monopoly, revenue up 89% on magnet demand
$USAR | Texas critical mineral deposit aiming for 2028 production
$LYSDY | Top ex-China producer building US processing capacity
$PPTA | Controls the only major domestic antimony reserve
$NVX | Scaling domestic critical battery materials production
Aligning with defense CapEx creates unmatched asymmetry.

$MP $USAR $UUUU $LYSDY Pentagon Suppliers Warn U.S. Won't Have Magnet Capacity By 2027

@fismael Maybe when they actually start mining. It takes years and years to get going. Most of these critical mineral stocks aren't really doing anything but planning and poking around and waiting for things or they're primarily just gold/silver miners.
That's why I stick to the ones that are actually selling a product: $MP, $UAMY, $UUUU and $LYSDY . There's a reason the REXC ETF's two top holdings are Lynas and MP which together make up almost 40% of the fund.
$LYSDY @LynasRareEarths
$LYC $LYSDY
well another typical qtr from Ausi Land. UGH. BoA still says BUY PO: 23.00 AUD that's $16.09 U.S.
but this sums it all up:
"recurring operational disappointments and a moderation in perceived geopolitical tailwinds. However, LYC remains the only established ex-China NdPr & Dy/Tb producer in scale, strategic position that remains exceptionally difficult to replicate. We continue to see an attractive medium-term risk/reward, supported by volume growth, improving pricing protection and increasing revenue certainty, with scope for re-rating as operational consistency improves."
A pullback in rare earths and robotics doesn't change the long-term story. It creates a watchlist.
Key names I'm watching:
• $USAR – Rare earth processing and NdFeB magnets
• $NB – Niobium, scandium, and titanium exposure
• $MP – U.S. rare earth and magnet production
• $VNP – Gallium, germanium, and specialty materials
• $LYSDY – Heavy rare earth producer outside Asia
• UUUU – NdPr processing and critical minerals
• BMM – Domestic germanium and gallium assets
• TMQ / FCX – Copper exposure for AI and robotics infrastructure
Robotics, AI, and electrification all rely on critical minerals. Short-term pullbacks don't necessarily change long-term demand.
I'm using weakness to build my watchlist, not to panic.

China controls 85-90% of REE processing. That's not a risk — that's a loaded gun pointed at Western supply chains.
$REXC
is the pure-play bet on the divorce.
Top holdings
$MP
and $LYSDY are the backbone here, with
$ALOY
and
$USAR
rounding out upstream/downstream exposure. IRA + CHIPS Act funding + China export restrictions = serious geopolitical tailwind for this thesis.
Concentration risk is real — tiny fund universe, volatile REE pricing, some names still pre-revenue. But if China tightens export quotas further, this basket rips. Im watching
$MP
as the lead indicator. 👀
