US customers should get Chinese rare earth permits more easily after trade truce: Reuters

  • A trade truce between the US and China announced on May 12, 2025, is expected to ease export permit access for US customers seeking Chinese rare earth metals.
  • This development follows China’s April 4 addition of seven rare earth elements to its export control list amid prior trade tensions and reciprocal tariffs.
  • Industry sources anticipate faster export license approvals, while Australia prepares a A$7-billion critical minerals investment and strategic stockpile initiative.
  • Warren Pearce said the CMPTI, worth A$7 billion and approved before Australia's recent election, will level the competitive field and encourage investor confidence.
  • The trade truce and Australian government actions suggest increased rare earth supply security, though risks include market price impacts and ongoing geopolitical volatility.
