Bitcoin SV (BSV) emerged following a hard fork of the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) blockchain in 2018, which had in turn forked from the BTC blockchain a year earlier. The goal of Bitcoin SV is to fulfil the original vision of the Bitcoin protocol and design as described in Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper, early Bitcoin client software and known Satoshi writings. BSV aims to offer scalability and stability in line with the original description of Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, as well as deliver a distributed data network that can support enterprise-level advanced blockchain applications. To this end, it has removed artificial block size limits and re-enabled Script commands and other technical capabilities which had been historically disabled or restricted by the protocol developers of the BTC blockchain. This allows the network to process tens of thousands of transactions per second while maintaining extremely low transaction fees for micropayments, in addition to offering advanced capabilities such as tokens, smart contracts, computation and other data use cases. The BSV network is unique in its capacity for unbounded on-chain scaling while also being more aligned with the original design of Bitcoin than any other blockchain.

China’s tightening grip on rare earth exports has revived old tensions and opened new doors. Beijing’s export curbs on rare earth minerals have prompted US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to call for support from India and other allied nations, casting the standoff as “China versus the world.”In an interview with Fox Business, Bessent described Beijing’s move as akin to pointing “a bazooka” at global supply chains and the industrial base of the free world. He emphasized that the U.S. is actively coordinating with like-minded partners and expects “substantial global support” from India, Europe and democracies in Asia.He accused China of trying to leverage its command-and-control economic model to exert control over critical resources, declaring that the U.S. will assert its sovereignty in response. Bessent also warned that China’s export restrictions marked a provocative shift with serious implications for global supply security.Impact of the ongoing ‘tariff wars’&nbsp;This isn’t the first time that the US and China have clashed over rare earth minerals. In April, China announced export controls on a range of rare earths and related magnets as a response to US President Donald Trump’s broader tariffs on goods. The decision disrupted global supply chains that are vital to automakers, aerospace firms, semiconductor manufacturers, and military contractors.The latest rare earth crisis led to US President Donald Trump imposing an additional 100% tariff on Chinese imports, effective November 1.Rare earths are crucial elements used in electric vehicles (EVs), wind turbines, and defense electronics.&nbsp;China’s rare earth curbs: What does it mean for India?China currently dominates about 70% of rare earth mining and nearly 90% of processing capacity globally, giving it significant leverage over this critical sector. India imports nearly 90% of its rare earth magnets from China.However, India is pushing to secure its own supply chain. It is reportedly preparing a ₹7,350 crore initiative to bolster domestic production of sintered rare-earth permanent magnets (REPMs) and reduce dependency on imports.According to reports, the scheme, which will run over seven years, aims to establish a fully indigenous manufacturing chain, from converting neodymium-praseodymium oxide to magnet fabrication, with a target annual capacity of up to 6,000 tonnes.&nbsp;&nbsp;India has also been reportedly working with the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), a powerful rebel group controlling parts of northeastern Myanmar, to obtain samples of rare-earth ores.India – US trade negotiations in the spotlightIn August, the Donald Trump-led administration imposed a 50% tariff on Indian exports, blaming New Delhi for funding the Russia-Ukraine war by importing the deeply discounted Russian crude.&nbsp;However, reports indicate that the imports have fallen significantly over the last six months, a point which could be crucial as New Delhi and Washington prepare to meet this week.&nbsp;China’s latest moves come amid a wider trade standoff and could signal a subtle thaw in the strained India–US relationship.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.&nbsp;

China’s Rare Earth Curbs May Push US Closer To India Amid Global Supply Shock

Metals stocks are surging, with the Nifty Metal index as the top sectoral gainer on Thursday. Heavy buying is evident across the sector, with Hindustan Copper and Zin shares surging over 5%, NMDC, SAIL &amp; Lloyds Metals gaining 4%, and JSW Steel and Tata Steel rising 2%.&nbsp;Hindustan Copper hit a fresh 52-week high as global copper prices surged to a record high. Additionally, concerns about rising supply from major copper mines, such as Freeport's Grasberg mine in Indonesia, added to the sentiment. News reports suggest that it may not resume operations until mid-2026.&nbsp;Other global mine disruptions and declining ore grades are expected to maintain tight supply conditions through 2027.&nbsp;Investors are also tracking minutes from the US Federal Reserve’s meeting, which showed a likelihood of interest rate cuts later this year. This augurs well for assets like metals, as&nbsp;a rate cut in the US could reduce borrowing costs for foreign investors, encouraging them to invest in higher-growth markets such as India.In another trigger for the sector, the European Commission proposed cutting steel import quotas earlier this week to support EU steelmakers.&nbsp;All Eyes On Q2 Earnings SeasonWith the September quarter earnings season approaching, brokerage firm JM Financial estimates that operating profits across metals will decline by nearly 6% compared to the previous quarter, driven by lower realizations. They expect Indian ferrous players to witness an EBITDA/tn contraction in Q2, while non-ferrous players may witness margin expansion. Hindalco and Tata Steel remain their top picks in the metals space.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

India is reportedly preparing a new ₹7,350 crore initiative to bolster domestic production of sintered rare-earth permanent magnets (REPMs) and reduce dependency on imports.According to a Business Standard report, the scheme, which will run over seven years, aims to establish a fully indigenous manufacturing chain, from converting neodymium-praseodymium oxide to magnet fabrication, with a target annual capacity of up to 6,000 tonnes.&nbsp;&nbsp;The government also plans to support five integrated REPM units (each with an annual capacity of 600–1,200 tonnes) through capital subsidies and sales-linked incentives. The country currently imports nearly its entire REPM requirement, with domestic demand of 4,010 tonnes annually expected to rise to 8,220 tonnes by 2030.Meanwhile, India has reportedly been working with the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), a powerful rebel group controlling parts of northeastern Myanmar, to obtain samples of rare-earth ores.This push comes after China further tightened its controls on rare earth exports, expanding restrictions on processing technology and limiting overseas cooperation. According to reports, China’s Ministry of Commerce said that the new rules will explicitly restrict exports to foreign defence and semiconductor users.Beijing has also reportedly asked India to provide assurances that heavy rare earth magnets supplied by Chinese firms will not be re-exported to the United States and will be used solely for domestic purposes. In response, Indian companies have submitted end-user certificates confirming that the magnets will not be used in the manufacture of weapons of mass destruction.China’s Grip On Rare EarthsChina, which accounts for&nbsp;around 60% of global mine production and nearly 90% of processed and permanent magnet output, has widened its export controls.&nbsp;Under the new curbs, restrictions on exporting rare earth magnet-making technology will now cover a wider range of magnet types. Equipment used in recycling rare earths has also been added to the export control list, meaning companies must secure a licence before exporting such machinery. Additionally, manufacturers using Chinese components or equipment in their production lines abroad must apply for export licences for any controlled products.For the first time, the ministry clarified the intended targets of the restrictions. Overseas defence firms will be denied export licences altogether, while applications linked to advanced semiconductor manufacturing would be reviewed separately. The government also prohibited Chinese companies operating overseas from engaging in rare earth-related projects with foreign partners without official approval.The move builds on sweeping curbs introduced in April, which triggered global shortages before shipments resumed following deals with the U.S. and Europe.&nbsp;Impact On IndiaIndia imports nearly 90% of its rare earth magnets from China and was severely impacted when China announced export controls in response to US President Donald Trump’s broader tariffs on goods. India was also among the last countries to start receiving rare earth supplies, as businesses currently require government clearance for investments from neighbouring countries, a policy aimed largely at China, following years of border tensions and its close ties with Pakistan.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.&nbsp;

India Ramps Up ₹7,350 Crore Rare Earth Plan As China Expands Export Curbs 

With China tightening its grip on rare earth exports, India is looking to push ahead with an ambitious manufacturing initiative to build a domestic rare earth magnet capacity. 

NMDC shares have rallied over 20% in the last six months as the largest iron ore producer in the country looks to make a shift towards critical minerals.&nbsp;According to SEBI-registered investment advisor&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/wealthwishers">Wealth Wishers</a>, NMDC is evolving from a traditional iron ore producer into a diversified player. With strong fundamentals, government backing, and a foray into critical minerals, they believe it could emerge as one of the key beneficiaries of India’s push for mineral self-sufficiency and green industrialization.&nbsp;Betting On Rare Earth MineralsFollowing recent global disruptions, such as China’s restrictions on rare earth element exports, India has initiated the National Critical Minerals Mission, focusing on self-reliance in critical and rare earth minerals that are required for renewable energy, EV batteries, and advanced manufacturing.&nbsp;NMDC has begun diversifying into critical minerals exploration and will collaborate with Hancock Prospecting in Australia for lithium exploration, marking its entry into high-potential future resources.&nbsp;India currently imports nearly 90% of its critical mineral requirements, making NMDC’s entry into this space a strategically significant move. Going forward, NMDC’s transition into critical minerals may take time and require high capital expenditures with uncertain short-term returns, according to the investment advisor.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/wealthwishers/message/631264522</stembedurl>NMDC’s Big Moves In 2025Looking to strengthen its dominance and cater to India’s growing infrastructure and steel demand, the&nbsp;Navratna public sector enterprise recently announced plans to double its iron ore production capacity from 50 million tons to 100 million tons by FY30.&nbsp;NMDC is also developing a 135 km slurry pipeline to transport iron ore fines more efficiently. This will significantly reduce dependency on rail and road logistics, cut transportation costs by nearly 50%, and support NMDC’s shift towards green and clean logistics, Wealth Wishers noted.They added that&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NMDC.NSE">NMDC’s</a> financial metrics reflect a fundamentally strong company with stable returns and attractive dividend payouts.&nbsp;However, not all is green for the company. The advisor noted that, as a government-owned entity, decision-making can sometimes be slower than that of its private peers. Additionally, iron ore and metal prices are cyclical and heavily dependent on global demand, particularly from China.&nbsp;Wealth Wishers concluded that NMDC’s initiatives could significantly enhance its long-term growth prospects. And while short-term performance will still be influenced by commodity cycles, the company’s focus on self-reliance, green logistics, and resource diversification positions it well for the next decade.&nbsp;What Is The Retail Mood?Data on Stocktwits shows that retail sentiment improved to ‘bullish’ a day ago on this counter.

Shares of Hindustan Copper surged as much as 6.9% to their highest in over 11 months on Thursday. The stock has been on a strong rally lately, declining in just four sessions so far this month. During this September rally, the stock has gained 43.5%.What’s Driving Hind Copper Rally?Copper prices surged sharply, driven by concerns over supply and geopolitical risks in major producing regions. Benchmark three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange jumped 3.9% to $10,400 per metric ton, marking a 15-month high, after Freeport-McMoRan declared force majeure at its Grasberg mine in Indonesia, the world’s second-largest copper source.Force majeure is a contract clause that frees parties from liability for unforeseeable, catastrophic events, such as natural disasters, allowing them to avoid penalties for non-fulfilment, with its scope varying across jurisdictions.The announcement followed a September 8 accident at the mine, which killed two workers and left five missing after a massive mudflow involving roughly 800,000 metric tons of material. According to reports, the force majeure is expected to slash Freeport’s copper sales by about 4% in the third quarter. Grasberg reportedly accounts for around 3% of global copper production.The copper spot price has rallied close to its all-time high of $11,104.50 per ton, reached in May 2024.Earlier this week, Hindustan Copper’s shares rallied after the company executed the Rakha mining lease deed in Jharkhand for a period of 20 years.What Is The Retail Mood?Retail sentiment on Stocktwits has remained ‘bullish’ for nearly a month.

India is stepping up efforts to build its domestic rare-earth magnet industry, with the government preparing fiscal incentives to reduce dependency on imports, particularly from China.During the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association’s (ACMA) annual session, Union Heavy Industries and Steel Minister HD Kumaraswamy emphasized the need to shore up vulnerabilities in critical raw material supply chains.According to the minister, a scheme is in the works to extend support to the industry for both capital and operating expenses, bridge the cost gaps associated with imported magnets, lower tariffs on essential machinery, and ensure a steady supply of rare-earth magnets, which are vital for electric vehicle motors.New Subsidy Scheme To Drive Production?A plan under review involves a subsidy scheme worth approximately ₹1,345 crore, aimed at kickstarting magnet production and processing units in India. The government has held inter-ministerial consultations on the plan; once finalized, the proposal will go to the Union Cabinet for approval.India currently has a very limited capacity to convert rare-earth oxides into finished magnets, despite reportedly significant domestic reserves. With global supply chains feeling squeezed, especially after export restrictions, India is seeking to become more self-reliant.Reducing Dependency on ChinaIndia is reportedly exploring alternative sources of rare earths and has turned to Myanmar as it aims to reduce its dependence on Chinese exports, with <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/india-china-trade-thaw-china-lifts-curb-on-fertilizers-rare-earth-minerals-ahead-of-pm-modi-s-visit/chsgBjKRdg4">current imports</a> at almost 90%.India is working with the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), a powerful rebel group controlling parts of northeastern Myanmar, to obtain samples of rare-earth ores. The Ministry of Mines has asked both state-run and private firms, including IREL and Midwest Advanced Materials, to participate in the initiative.&nbsp;In April, China announced export controls on a broad range of rare earths and related magnets as a response to US President Donald Trump’s broader tariffs on goods. The decision disrupted global supply chains that are vital to automakers, aerospace firms, semiconductor manufacturers, and military contractors.&nbsp;It was only last month when China agreed to lift the curb on rare earth exports to India.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.&nbsp;

The Nifty Metal index rose 1.2% in early trade on Monday, led by gains in steelmakers such as Tata Steel, SAIL, and JSW Steel, following Morgan Stanley's bullish outlook on the sector.The Nifty Metal index has been on a strong run lately, gaining in five of the last six sessions and adding more than 7% during the period.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SAIL.NSE">Steel Authority of India</a> (SAIL) and <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TATASTEEL.NSE">Tata Steel</a> were the top gainers on the index, rising 3.97% and 2.31%, respectively.Domestic Demand To Drive GrowthMorgan Stanley expects select steel stocks to outperform the broader materials space in the coming months. The brokerage highlighted expectations of expanding steel spreads and stronger domestic demand as key drivers for the sector’s near-term momentum.Morgan Stanley upgraded JSW Steel to an ‘Overweight’ rating, raising its price target to ₹1,300. It also upgraded Tata Steel to ‘Overweight’ with a target of ₹200, citing their strong positioning to benefit from hot-rolled coil (HRC) price expansion.Among the two, <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/JSWSTEEL.NSE">JSW Steel</a> remains the brokerage’s preferred pick due to its stronger growth outlook and higher exposure to the domestic market, despite richer valuations.For Steel Authority of India (SAIL), Morgan Stanley lifted the rating to ‘Equalweight’ with a price target of ₹140. The brokerage noted that SAIL’s earnings are highly sensitive to steel price movements, given its relatively low profitability base. However, it refrained from moving to ‘Overweight’ due to weaker volume growth prospects and expensive valuations.On Jindal Steel and Power (JSPL), the brokerage retained its ‘Equalweight’ stance but raised the target price to ₹1,150. While acknowledging JSPL’s strong volume growth outlook, Morgan Stanley highlighted its higher dependence on long steel products, which may limit margin expansion compared to peers.Morgan Stanley expects domestic steel prices to rise on improving demand, while global macro factors such as potential US rate cuts and a softer US dollar provide additional support. It also pointed to the possibility of a safeguard duty extension for three years, which could further boost margins for Indian steelmakers.The brokerage increased its steel price estimates by 3% for FY27 and FY28.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
