Global Governments Shift Focus To Industrial Policy
The critical minerals sector is undergoing a significant transformation, with governments and corporations increasingly prioritizing control over supply chains. The past week saw major developments in the US, Japan, and Europe, with a focus on diversifying away from China and investing in domestic industrial capacity. Legislation and investments targeting rare earths, tungsten, and other critical minerals aim to reduce dependence on foreign processing and promote national security. This shift was reported by various sources, including Reuters and the Wall Street Journal, and analyzed in the Critical Minerals Report by InvestorNews.
