US and China Reach Trade Framework Amid Rare Earth Stock Slump

Rare-earth stocks, including MP Materials, declined after positive US-China trade negotiations suggested China might defer export controls on rare-earth materials, which could impact the sector's shares but won't halt Western development of these critical materials used in technology and defense. Despite recent drops, the sector has seen significant gains this year, and US efforts to develop domestic production continue amid ongoing trade discussions.
