Rare earth stocks have been a ticket for riding a roller coaster for over a year, but the latest descent has been particularly brutal. Downward momentum gathered steam last Thursday, after the International Energy Agency's Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2026 edition highlighted a planned surge in mining capacity well beyond expectations of refining and magnet production. MP Materials, USA Rare Earth, Critical Metals, Energy Fuels and American Resources all fell by more than 10% last week and some stocks continued to fall on Monday.

Federal support for MP Materials, USA Rare Earth, and others is rebuilding U.S. rare-earth refining. REMX, EART, and SETM ETFs offer diversified ways to invest in this supply chain.

A fight between two of the U.S.’s biggest rare-earths companies illustrates the stakes behind the effort to loosen China’s hold on the sector.

The tit-for-tat retaliation comes after Washington’s recent decision to expand its military-linked company list.

USA Rare Earth is rapidly securing the domestic critical mineral supply chain through unprecedented federal funding and aggressive downstream expansions.

USA Rare Earth has finalized a Commerce Department deal for up to $1.6 billion in funding for its rapid buildout of a rare earth supply chain from mining to finished magnets. Despite the deal moving forward, along with an equity stake and warrants for the federal government, USAR stock pulled back following recent gains along with MP Materials and other volatile rare earth stocks. Along with a $1.5 billion equity offering for private investors in January, USA Rare Earth has amassed a $3.5 billion war chest of committed capital.

The Trump administration hopes to spur “a new era of American innovation,” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says.
