Today we are not talking about rare earths in the commodities sector. Yesterday, the USA declared silver a critical raw material. This will give an additional boost to companies active in this sector in the USA.
Before anyone asks me, no, I am currently invested in silver apart from a long derivative on silver and in $PPTA (+1,29%) I am not invested in this area.
Silver has been a "critical commodity" since yesterday. Specifically, the USA has placed silver, a classic precious metal, on the list of critical commodities for the first time. The list of critical minerals serves as a guide for the US government's strategy, capital deployment and approval procedures for domestic extraction, recycling and processing. The update is part of efforts to strengthen economic and national security by reducing dependence on foreign supply chains and accelerating production and innovation in the US.
