China’s rare earth exports to the U.S. jumped 76% in July compared to the previous month to hit a six-month high as Beijing loosened restrictions on the shipments of the critical minerals as part of a trade truce.According to a Bloomberg News <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-20/china-s-magnet-exports-to-us-hit-six-month-high-after-trade-deal">report</a>, China shipped 619 tons of rare earth minerals to the U.S. in July, up from the 353 tons in June.Shipments had hit rock bottom in May after China put several rare earth materials, used in electric vehicles and missile-guidance systems, on an export restrictions list and asked Chinese businesses to get a government permit before shipping their products abroad after U.S. President Donald Trump raised tariffs on Chinese goods to 145%. China dominates the rare earth magnet supply by processing around 90% of all materials.Western companies, from automakers to consumer electronics firms, soon began to feel the pressure and started curtailing capacity. Following trade talks in Geneva and London, the two sides agreed to cut tariffs mutually, and China agreed to resume rare earth exports for Washington’s concessions on artificial intelligence chips.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about U.S.-based rare earth supplier MP Materials was in the ‘bearish’ territory at the time of writing, while traders were also ‘bearish’ about The Metals Company.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MP">MP’s stock</a> has more than tripled in the past three months following the Pentagon's agreement to take a 15% stake in the company, as well as a $500 million supply agreement with Apple.Alongside the U.S., other countries also saw a boost in supplies.

China’s Rare Earth Exports To US Jump In July Amid Tariff Truce

Shipments had hit rock bottom in May after China put several rare earth materials, used in electric vehicles and missile-guidance systems, on an export restrictions list.

The Metals Company (TMC) CEO Gerard Barron praised the U.S. move to initiate talks with the Cook Islands over seabed resources, but warned that China could take advantage if Washington, D.C., does not step in.“The Cooks have an abundant seafloor resource, and it will fall [into] the way of China if [the] USA doesn’t show some love,” Barron <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/gtbgtb/status/1952943500619661504">wrote</a> in a post on X after hailing the talks as a “great initiative.”Located halfway between Hawaii and New Zealand in the South Pacific, the Cook Islands comprise 15 islands with a total population of just over 15,000, according to 2021 data. It was a territory of New Zealand until 1965, when it became self-governing but in free association with New Zealand. The residents have New Zealand passports and citizenship."The Government of the United States of America has begun discussions with the Government of the Cook Islands to support the research necessary to inform seabed exploration and responsible development within the Cook Islands' Exclusive Economic Zone," the state department said on Tuesday.The outreach from the United States comes at a time when China is boosting its influence in the Pacific region. Earlier this year, China and the Cook Islands signed an agreement to collaborate on a range of areas, including education and deep-sea exploration, excluding security.The State Department further noted that U.S.-linked firms are at the forefront of deep-seabed mineral research and exploration in the Cook Islands.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TMC">TMC </a>was in the ‘extremely bullish’ territory at the time of writing, while retail chatter was ‘extremely high.’<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:718/92;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/TMC_Aug_JPG_fee630ad35.webp" alt=" TMC’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 03:16 a.m. ET on Aug. 6, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="718" height="92"><figcaption>TMC’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 03:16 a.m. ET on Aug. 6, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Earlier this week, TMC <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tmc-reveals-23-billion-deep-sea-mining-potential/chrXkwURdT1">released</a> two independent technical economic assessments outlining the financial and operational prospects of its deep-sea mining initiatives in the Clarion Clipperton Zone (CCZ) of the Pacific Ocean.Together, the reports project a combined value of $23.6 billion for the company's NORI and TOML resource areas.TMC’s stock has more than quadrupled this year, driven by hopes of the company accumulating a significant share of the rare earth metals market that provides key components to electronics, electric vehicles, and other important industries.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/boeing-scores-big-win-with-8-b-cathay-pacific-order-for-14-widebody-jets/chr1otTRdPi">Boeing Scores Big Win With $8B Cathay Pacific Order For 14 Widebody Jets</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

TMC Stock Soars Premarket As Traders Brace For Crucial Pre-Feasibility Report: Retail Calls It A ‘Buy Now Or Regret’ Moment

 President Donald Trump has already issued executive orders to allow companies to extract minerals from the seabed, aiming to reduce the country's reliance on China.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has said that recent trade talks with China have focused on rare earth minerals, and the two sides have made progress in ensuring a steady supply of the critical elements to American shores.“We're focused on making sure that the flow of magnets from China to the United States and the adjacent supply chain can flow as freely as it did before the control,” Greer said at CBS’s Face the Nation program, which was aired on Sunday. “I'd say we're about halfway there,” he added.After U.S. President Donald Trump’s initial tariff salvo in April, China ordered its domestic suppliers to dramatically cut exports to the U.S. and other Western nations in a retaliatory move. Beijing resumed approving export requests in July after the U.S. agreed to make concessions in June following another round of trade talks.In the interview, Greer said that Trump will make the final decision whether to extend the tariff truce beyond the Aug. 12 deadline. He added, “We’re working on some technical issues, and we’re talking to the president about it.”However, a Wall Street Journal <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wsj.com/world/asia/china-western-defense-industry-critical-minerals-3971ec51?mod=hp_lead_pos1">report</a> suggests that China has yet to approve the flow of critical minerals for defense firms. The defense industry is now paying five or more times the previous price for specific materials and seeking alternative sources, as a direct consequence of Beijing’s curb on exports, according to the Journal, which cited several suppliers and defense executives.China dominates the rare earth landscape, holding approximately 90% of the market share in magnet production. While rare earth shipments to the U.S. rose to 353 tons in June, compared to just 46 tons in May, they remained way below the levels seen before the export restrictions.The U.S. is moving to reduce its dependence on Chinese rare-earth imports.

Trump's Trade Rep Says Rare Earth Talks With China 'Halfway There' — But Beijing Reportedly Keeps US Defense Firms Under Pressure

The U.S. defense industry is now reportedly paying five or more times the previous price for specific materials and seeking alternative sources, as a direct consequence of Beijing’s curb on exports.

Trump's Trade Rep Says Rare Earth Talks With China' Halfway There' — But Beijing Reportedly Keeps US Defense Firms Under Pressure

China’s exports of rare earth magnets to the U.S. jumped nearly seven times in June compared to the previous month as trade tensions between the two countries eased after a series of talks.According to a Reuters report, citing data from the General Administration of Customs, exports of rare earth magnets jumped to 353 metric tons, from a paltry 46 tons in May. However, exports were still down 52% compared to the same period a year earlier.Beijing had put several rare earth materials, used in electric vehicles and missile-guidance systems, on an export restrictions list and asked Chinese businesses to get a government permit before shipping their products abroad after U.S. President Donald Trump raised tariffs on Chinese goods to 145%. China dominates the rare earth magnet supply by processing around 90% of all materials.Western companies, from automakers to consumer electronics firms, began to feel the pressure soon and began curtailing capacity. Beijing pledged to start exporting rare earths after the two sides struck an initial agreement in Geneva in May.However, Western businesses continued to complain that Chinese authorities were slow to grant export permits following the deals amid Beijing’s concerns over shipments of AI chips. However, a June pact paved the way for Nvidia to begin export of H20 chips to China, helping alleviate China’s concerns.Overall, China shipped 3,188 tons of rare earth permanent magnets last month, with Germany being its top destination in a relief to automakers. However, total exports were still down 38% compared to the same month in the previous year.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about the U.S. rare earths firm <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MP">MP Materials</a> was still in ‘extremely bullish’ territory late on Sunday, while that of deep-sea miner The Metals Company (considered a Trump trade play) was ‘bullish.’MP’s stock has gained over 74% in the past month following the Pentagon's agreement to take a 15% stake in the company, as well as a $500 million supply agreement with Apple. Most retail traders on Stocktwits believed that the resumption of exports would not fundamentally change anything for U.S. producers.“They (China) have already threatened the U.S. and the rest of the world with restrictions, and the only way to remove that leverage is to go full speed ahead with domestic production,” one user said.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Shadowdoc1/message/621669920</stembedurl>Year to date, MP stock has nearly quadrupled in value while TMC has surged by a whopping 570%.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/japan-s-ruling-party-loses-grip-as-trump-tariff-deadline-looms/ch8qvTDR5A4">Japan's Ruling Party Loses Grip As Trump Tariff Deadline Looms: What Happens Next?</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
