What is Rare Earth Advantage?

"Rare Earth Advantage: Daily Edge for Institutional Capital"

The definitive rare earth elements briefing for institutional allocators managing nine-figure portfolios. Every episode delivers critical market data, supply chain developments, and production capacity updates across neodymium, dysprosium, terbium, and praseodymium markets.

What You Get:

Real-time rare earth pricing intelligence and market movements
Supply chain disruption analysis and geopolitical impact assessment
Production capacity updates from MP Materials, Lynas, Ucore, and emerging players
China's export control implications and Western diversification strategies
Heavy vs. light rare earth separation facility developments
Strategic positioning analysis for the next 18-36 months
Why Institutional Capital Listens:
China controls 60% of global rare earth production and 90% of processing capacity. With $6.4B market size growing to $11.68B by 2035, and critical applications in defense, EVs, and renewable energy, rare earth supply chains represent both massive opportunity and systemic risk.

Pure rare earth market focus. Zero irrelevant content. Maximum institutional edge.

Episodes run 4-5 minutes, Monday through Friday. Weekend strategic synthesis available.

Your competitive edge in the world's most critical elements.
