A Rare Earth Metal Stocks Forecast For 2021
Rare earth metals have been a very lucrative investment a few years ago. They did recover well after the Corona crash. We have a bullish rare earth metal stocks forecast for 2021. We see a 50% upside potential in rare earth metal stocks in 2021, we add this as another bullish 2021 forecast in our series of global market forecasts.
As explained by Reuters, rare earth elements are used in a wide range of consumer products, from iPhones to electric car motors, as well as military jet engines, satellites and lasers.
Although they are more abundant than their name implies, they are difficult and costly to mine and process cleanly. China hosts most of the world’s processing capacity and supplied 80% of the rare earths imported by the United States from 2014 to 2017. In 2017, China accounted for 81% of the world’s rare earth production, data from the U.S. Geological Survey showed.
There is a dominance by China when it comes rare earths production.
And there are constant tensions with China.
Moreover, commodities as an asset class are in a new uptrend, after having been ignored by investors for some 7 years in a row.
That combination makes for a great case for rare earth metal stocks to flourish at “a” certain point in time in 2021. This is, combined with the chart, the simple yet effective basis for our bullish rare earth metal stocks forecast for 2021.
It is though to easily track individual prices of rare earth metals, as inputs for rare earth metal stocks.
