$MP Materials Corp.(MP)$ $Energy Fuels(UUUU)$ $The Metals Company(TMC)$ 🇨🇳 China tariffs + 🇺🇸 U.S. strategic stakes; the rare earth trade is heating fast.
Plus: $FITB swung hard today, $DKNG is under pressure, and $ACHR just got rug-pulled.
🚨 RARE EARTHS REVOLUTION: Tariff Shock, China’s Chokehold, and a New AI “Oil” Supercycle? 🔥
🌍 Geopolitical Chokehold
Rare earths are rapidly stepping into the geopolitical spotlight as the new semis. The images tell the story clearly. China mines around 70% of global rare earths, processes 87%, and refines 91%. It also produces 94% of permanent magnets that power EV motors, wind turbines, hyperscale data-centre fans, precision guidance systems, and advanced defence platforms.
🛡 Strategic Stakes for the U.S.
The defence implications are enormous. An F-35 jet contains roughly 418 kg of rare earths, an Arleigh Burke destroyer 2,600 kg, and a Virginia-class submarine around 4,600 kg. Over 70% of U.S. rare earth imports currently come from China, underscoring the vulnerability of supply chains underpinning both AI and national security.
📈 Market Repricing in Real Time
Market behaviour reflects that strategic reality. MP Materials has surged approximately 400% year to date, while Energy Fuels and USA Rare Earth have each climbed more than 100%. The National Security Index image shows a broad surge across the sector: TMC +679.8%, OKLO +593.5%, UAMY +585.0%, TMRC +553.9%, MP +394.3%, IDR +321.2%. This is widespread capital rotation, not a one-off rally.
💼 Positioning for the Supercycle
The underlying structure separates this moment from political noise. China’s dominant role across mining, processing, refining, and magnet manufacturing creates a durable geopolitical risk premium. Tariffs may drive short-term volatility, but the strategic dependency displayed in your charts supports a multi-year theme.
Positioning around this shift doesn’t need to be complicated. Focus on companies tied to mine-to-magnet progress and allied supply growth. Use tariff pullbacks to build positions rather than chase spikes. This is leverage to AI, EVs, renewables, and defence, where permanent magnets quietly sit at the centre.
👉❓Given China’s 70 / 87 / 91 dominance and the 94% magnet production share, does this look like the start of a rare earth supercycle or just a tactical trade into year-end? Which mix would you lean into among $MP, $UUUU, and $USAR based on today’s leadership board?

- Tui Jude·2025-10-14TOP🌐I’ve been tracking $UUUU and it’s wild seeing how the uranium crowd overlaps with rare earths now. The defence demand data you mentioned is what seals it for me. This is way bigger than a simple commodity rotation.5Report
- Cool Cat Winston·2025-10-14TOP📊这种地缘政治角度对$MP造成了沉重打击。70/87/91/94的主导地位确实反映了半成品是如何成为关键基础设施的。我也喜欢你将它与国防用途联系起来的方式,这就是为什么这不仅仅是另一个关税贸易。6Report
- Hen Solo·2025-10-14TOP🦅The YTD leaderboard is insane. $TMC leading with that kind of performance shows how capital’s already chasing strategic positioning. It’s like watching a new macro theme take shape in real time, not months later.4Report
- PetS·2025-10-14TOPThis feels like 2016 semis all over again. $MP is becoming the anchor play, and the policy backdrop is basically forcing capital to reroute. Your framing of tariffs as a structural catalyst, not noise, is on point.2Report
- Enid Bertha·2025-10-13TOPShocking that one of the auto manufacturers didn’t buy MP when it was $20. MC was like 3-4B then now like 15. They could’ve had a monopoly on the needed EV materials. Be $100 soon.6Report
- Kiwi Tigress·2025-10-14TOP你布置这个的方式让稀土设置感觉是不可避免的。我被地缘政治扼杀如何与市场重新定价直接联系在一起,尤其是在MP带头的情况下。这就是大局清晰度6Report

- Queengirlypops·2025-10-14This is the kind of post that gets me hyped. Seeing $TMC smash the leaderboard while China’s locking up the whole supply chain hits different. Feels like we’re watching the next AI resource wave take off in real time 🧃3Report
