China pregătește noi restricții la exporturi: prețul unui metal din familia pământurilor rare a explodat

China's commitment to delay strict export restrictions on critical minerals for a year has led to a surge in erbium prices as users rush to stock up. The looming deadline of November 10, 2026, raises concerns about potential supply shortages. Existing export controls on rare earths remain in place, impacting availability and prices across various sectors. Moody's warns that these restrictions could gradually affect the creditworthiness of European companies, particularly in the automotive sector, potentially causing production delays. Prices for holmium and ytterbium have significantly increased since June, reflecting market anxieties.
