I probably should, but am a bit set in my ways and after one unsuccessful attempt at setting up an IG account, I gave up.
The management discussion and analysis is a good read. I like this bit:
"A two-tier market is emerging in the rare earths sector. Within China, prices remain lower under Beijing's firm grip on refining and magnet production. Outside China, supply security carries a premium, with allied governments underwriting mines, separation plants, and magnet facilities, while industrial buyers pay more for assured access. There are reports of long-term contracts now using price floors and take-or-pay clauses, with ex-China buyers reportedly willing to pay 15-30% premiums for rare earths sourced outside of China. This dual-track rare earth economy sees non-Chinese materials fetching higher prices in exchange for reduced geopolitical exposure."
