VanEck Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF

REMX tracks an index of global companies that mine, refine, or recycle rare earth and strategic metals.

A bearish trend but signs of a significant bottom. Commodities are cyclical. China controls most of the world's rare earth metals supplies.

REMX: A Potential Bottom In The ETF

VanEck Rare Earth and Strategic Metals ETF is a full replication ETF focusing on rare earth metals, crucial for tech, EVs, and renewable energy, despite their extraction challenges. Rare earth metals like scandium and yttrium are essential for electronics, urbanization, and renewable energy, driving demand and market growth. The rare metals market, valued at $5.1B in 2022, is projected to reach $14.6B by 2033, driven by tech and sustainability trends.

3 Rare Earth Stocks Crucial for Advanced Technologies

VanEck Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF offers diversification in rare earth, lithium, and other strategic metals companies. The ETF has seen poor returns in the past few years, but there is potential for a rebound in lithium and rare earth prices. China's improving economy and growing demand for strategic metals could drive the rebound of the ETF.

REMX: This Rare Earth And Metals ETF Appears Poised For A Breakout

VanEck Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF has been in a bearish trend, with a 38.7% decline since July 2023. The REMX ETF is primarily weighted towards lithium, not rare earth metals, making it more of a lithium ETF. The decline in lithium prices could present a compelling opportunity for REMX at below $55 per share.

An Update On REMX: Really A Lithium ETF

China is the world's biggest producer and exporter of rare earth elements by a large margin, but it's grasp on the market is slipping, providing opportunities for investors looking to capitalize on the growth in demand for these “supercritical materials.”

China's grip on rare earth elements is slipping. Investors should take note.

Investors who piled into clean energy themes the last few years are experiencing some performance pain this year, as we appear to be experiencing a detour on the road to the clean energy transition. Related themes have been hard hit this year due to a confluence of events.

A Detour on the Road to the Clean Energy Transition

China's recent export ban on rare earth technologies may have significant consequences for rare earth producers. However, the VanEck Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF may not be the best option for investors seeking rare earth exposure, as it is heavily concentrated in lithium miners and developers. Individual stocks like Lynas Rare Earths and MP Materials may be better alternatives for investors interested in the rare earths theme.

China's economy is in severe trouble, impacting the bull case for rare earth metals and funds related to that theme. The VanEck Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF provides exposure to companies in the rare earth and strategic metals industry. Geopolitical risks, particularly China's dominance in the market, pose challenges for investing in rare earth and strategic metals.

The rationale for investing in natural resource equities and commodities has stayed consistent: to enhance portfolio diversification, access global growth and hedge against inflation. The sharp economic recovery from the depths of the pandemic coupled with continually evolving expectations in terms of future impact have recast the spotlight on natural resources and commodities.

Natural Resources and Commodities: Invest Resourcefully

China has restricted exports of germanium and gallium, citing national security reasons. These metals are crucial for high-tech applications, including semiconductors, and China produces a significant portion of the world's supply. The restrictions could impact the global semiconductor industry, with seven of the top ten companies based in the U.S. The move could also signal China's intention to limit the flow of critical metals to the U.S. and its allies.

Hello! This is markets reporter Isabel Wang bringing you this week's ETF Wrap. In this week's edition, we take a look at inflation-protected bond ETFs.

This once popular ETF used to hedge against inflation is now out of favor. What investors are doing now.

REMX is an excellent vehicle for investors wishing to add rare earth exposure to their portfolio. The ETF maintains its focus on companies operating higher up the supply chain.

REMX: A Good ETF But A Difficult Market Environment

Given the new-era transition to clean-green energy, EVs, and battery backup, an investment in rare earth and strategic metals appears to be a no-brainer. However, the VanEck Rare/Strategic Metals ETF is highly exposed to China - and that could turn out to be a big problem for investors.
