TMC Stock: Retail Traders See Next Trump-Era Resource Play Amid Fresh China-US Trade Tensions

Over the weekend, the Financial Times reported that the U.S. is looking to buy as much as $1 billion of critical minerals to stockpile.

It said that while the news was "materially positive" for Trilogy, the shares are now trading at an "excess of multiples typically ascribed for development stage projects.” BMO also noted that challenges to the announcement may also emerge.The stock was still up over 2% in premarket trading in low volumes.

Trilogy Metals Stock Is Headed For Best Week Ever: Will Analyst Downgrade Pour Cold Water On Gains?

About 280 million shares have changed hands this week, more than thrice the previous weekly high of 88.8 million.

The Metals Company (TMC) was the top trending ticker on Stocktwits after its shares jumped nearly 10% in premarket trading. The rally followed a report by The Information that the company was starting seabed mining with backing from the Trump Administration.According to the report, TMC expressed renewed optimism at an investor event in New York about starting seabed mining in the Pacific, primarily due to the Trump administration's explicit backing. The administration has been taking stakes in critical minerals companies, citing the industry as a strategic priority.Retail sentiment on <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TMC">TMC</a> remained unchanged in the ‘extremely bullish’ territory compared to a day ago, with message volumes at ‘extremely high’ levels, according to data from Stocktwits.According to TheFly, The Information reported that the attendance of senior U.S. officials underscored the government's growing involvement in critical minerals, following a series of equity deals in lithium, copper, and rare earth companies. The momentum has fueled a sharp rally in TMC’s shares in the last few days amid speculation that it could be the next to receive federal support, the report added.On Tuesday, <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/07/trilogy-metals-shares-surge-after-us-takes-stake-in-minerals-firm.html">CNBC reported</a> that the White House said it would take a 10% stake in Trilogy Metals as part of the current administration’s effort to unlock domestic supplies of copper and other critical minerals in the Ambler mining district in Alaska.Earlier on Thursday, China announced broad new curbs on rare earth exports, potentially jeopardizing its trade truce with the United States. Under fresh regulations from the Ministry of Commerce, companies must now secure a dual-use export license before shipping equipment or technology abroad that could be applied to rare earth mining, smelting, separation, metal processing, or the production of magnetic materials.Shares of TMC have gained 812% in the last 12 months.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/delta-ceo-ed-bastian-says-airline-operations-unaffected-by-federal-government-shutdown-report/ch67Fg9R3Kf">Delta CEO Ed Bastian Says Airline Operations Unaffected By Federal Government Shutdown: Report</a>

Why Did TMC Stock Surge 10% Premarket Today?

According to the report, TMC expressed renewed optimism at an investor event in New York about starting seabed mining in the Pacific, primarily due to the Trump administration's explicit backing.

China unveiled sweeping restrictions on rare earth exports on Thursday, which could upend a trade truce with the United States.According to the new rules issued by the Ministry of Commerce of China, exporters will be required to obtain a dual-use export license from the government before exporting equipment and technology that could be used overseas for rare earth mining, smelting, and separation, as well as metal smelting and the manufacture of magnetic materials.Rare earth materials, used in everything from electric vehicles to missile guidance systems, have been leveraged by Beijing as a potent weapon amid the trade war with the U.S. In April, China placed several key elements on an export restrictions list, which soon forced Western companies, from automakers to consumer electronics firms, to start curtailing their capacity before a trade truce resumed supplies.China dominates the rare earth industry, controlling 60% of production and 90% of refining capacity. The ministry also said that it will not approve applications intended for the development of weapons of mass destruction, territorial expansion, or the enhancement of military capabilities. It also said that licenses for high-end semiconductor makers will be approved on a case-by-case basis. &nbsp;The move comes amid a growing push by the Trump administration to bolster domestic rare earth production by encouraging businesses to establish facilities within the U.S. The White House has already agreed to take stakes in companies such as MP Materials and Critical Metals Corp.&nbsp;Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/CRML">MP</a> was in the the 'neutral' territory at the time of writing, while traders were 'extremely bullish' about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/CRML">Critical Metals</a>.The Commerce Ministry stated that some foreign organizations and individuals have transferred or supplied rare-earth materials originating from China to entities involved in military and other sensitive sectors, posing "serious harm" and potential threats to China's national security and global nonproliferation efforts.Entities on China's export control list and their majority-owned subsidiaries are also likely to be denied approval for exporting dual-use items and technologies, it added. However, Beijing also announced exemptions for humanitarian purposes, like emergency medical care, responses to public health emergencies, or natural disaster relief.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/civitas-resources-looking-at-potential-merger-with-permian-basin-peer-sm-energy/ch67OO5R309">Civitas Resources Looking At Potential Merger With Permian Basin Peer SM Energy: Report</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

The move comes amid a growing push by the Trump administration to bolster domestic rare earth production by encouraging businesses to establish facilities within the U.S.

U.S. rare earth stocks will likely garner increased investor attention on Monday, as China reportedly moved to impose strict regulations on rare earth minerals.According to a Bloomberg <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-25/china-s-rare-earths-companies-rally-after-beijing-tightens-grip">report</a>, citing the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Chinese authorities are pushing for a system to improve tracking of all domestic supply, including a requirement to send regular output data to the government.The plan announced on Friday was based on proposals unveiled in June 2024, the report added.

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.
