Market Focus07-10

On July 9, Teck Resources rose 6.44% in regular trading, trading at $59.735/share, with turnover of $136 million. The rally was driven by reports that the Canadian government will invest hundreds of millions of dollars to support Teck's expansion of germanium production capacity at its Trail metals facility in British Columbia.

According to reports, the funding will come from Canada's Natural Resources Department, the Canada Growth Fund, and Export Development Canada. Teck is North America's largest germanium producer, recovering germanium from its Alaska zinc operations, and is the sole Canadian supplier of germanium oxide to the United States. Germanium is a critical material for defense equipment, semiconductors, and chip manufacturing, areas where the U.S. has limited domestic production and processing capacity and urgently needs new supply channels.

Within the Diversified Metals & Mining sector, the overall tone was positive. Among peers, Rio Tinto up 1.0%, USA Rare Earth up 3.5%, BHP Billiton up 2.09%, HudBay Minerals up 4.59%, and MP Materials down 1.47%.
