As quoted in the market news:
While the U.S. has Mountain Pass and other rare-earth deposits, it lacks sufficient manufacturing capacity to take the commodities and make them into rare-earth products such as magnets, Lifton said. Any change in Chinese exports may benefit Europe and Japan, where there is more manufacturing capacity, he said.
