"This could be viewed as a retaliation for the Huawei blacklist. We see this news as ongoing noise around the US China trade disputes. Rare earths really are not that rare, but rather just current deposits being mined which happen to be in China.
"Should the trade war persist it is highly likely that these materials could be sourced elsewhere."
