Key Takeaways:

Powered by lumidawealth.com

  • China’s rare-earth magnet exports fell 74% year-over-year in May, the sharpest decline on record, with shipments to the U.S. dropping 93%.
  • Beijing’s export controls, introduced in April, have disrupted global supply chains for electric vehicles, electronics, and defense industries.
  • A tentative U.S.-China trade framework may ease restrictions, but China retains the ability to reimpose curbs, keeping geopolitical risks high.
  • Chinese suppliers like JL Mag and Zhong Ke San Huan High-Tech have begun receiving export licenses, but approvals remain limited.

What Happened?

China’s rare-earth magnet exports plummeted in May following Beijing’s decision to impose export controls on certain rare-earth metals and products, including magnets made with dysprosium and terbium. These materials are critical for industries such as electric vehicles, electronics, and defense.

Exports to the U.S. were particularly affected, falling 93% year-over-year to just 46,000 kilograms. The restrictions, introduced during heightened U.S.-China trade tensions, have exacerbated supply chain disruptions, with U.S. automakers warning of potential production halts.

A trade truce reached in Geneva in mid-May, which included a 90-day tariff reduction agreement, has yet to fully restore rare-earth exports. Both sides have accused each other of failing to uphold the agreement, prompting further negotiations in London.

Chinese suppliers like JL Mag and Zhong Ke San Huan High-Tech have started receiving export licenses, but approvals remain slow and limited. These companies have increasingly relied on overseas buyers, with exports accounting for a growing share of their revenue.


Why It Matters?

China’s near-monopoly on rare-earth production—mining two-thirds of global supply and processing 90%—gives it significant leverage in trade disputes. The export curbs highlight the strategic importance of rare earths in critical industries and their role as a bargaining chip in U.S.-China relations.

The restrictions have disrupted global supply chains, particularly for U.S. automakers and defense contractors, underscoring the risks of over-reliance on a single supplier. While the tentative trade framework may ease some restrictions, the six-month limit on licenses keeps the door open for future curbs, maintaining uncertainty for global markets.

For Chinese suppliers, the export controls have created challenges but also opportunities to strengthen their position in overseas markets. However, their reliance on government grants and limited export approvals could constrain growth.


What’s Next?

The U.S. and China are expected to finalize their trade framework in the coming weeks, with potential easing of rare-earth export restrictions. However, the agreement allows China to maintain its export-control system, leaving room for future disruptions.

Global industries will likely accelerate efforts to diversify rare-earth supply chains, including investments in domestic production and partnerships with non-Chinese suppliers. Policymakers and businesses will closely monitor the implementation of the trade framework and its impact on supply chain stability.

Investors will also watch for further developments in the rare-earth market, as geopolitical tensions and export controls continue to shape the industry’s trajectory.
