VanEck Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF offers diversification in rare earth, lithium, and other strategic metals companies. The ETF has seen poor returns in the past few years, but there is potential for a rebound in lithium and rare earth prices.

VanEck Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF has been in a bearish trend, with a 38.7% decline since July 2023.

The decline in lithium prices could present a compelling opportunity for REMX at below $55 per share.

China's recent export ban on rare earth technologies may have significant consequences for rare earth producers. However, the VanEck Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF may not be the best option for investors seeking rare earth exposure, as it is heavily concentrated in lithium miners and developers. Individual stocks like Lynas Rare Earths and MP Materials may be better alternatives for investors interested in the rare earths theme.

China has restricted exports of germanium and gallium, citing national security reasons. These metals are crucial for high-tech applications, including semiconductors, and China produces a significant portion of the world's supply. The restrictions could impact the global semiconductor industry, with seven of the top ten companies based in the U.S. The move could also signal China's intention to limit the flow of critical metals to the U.S. and its allies.
