These Two Obscure Metals Spell Opportunity for Investors By Nomi Prins, Editor, Inside Wall Street with Nomi Prins Range anxiety… It’s the fear some electric vehicle (EV) drivers have of running out of battery power on a long journey. This problem has long plagued the EV industry. But today, I’ll tell you about two rare metals that will help solve this problem. Neodymium and praseodymium… These two silvery metals are classed as rare earth elements. I wrote to you about [rare earth elements (REEs) and their uses]( a couple of months ago. There are 17 in total. And they are used in everything from iPhones, electric cars, flat-screen TVs, and computers, to sophisticated military equipment. Neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (Pr) are two of these rare earth elements. They’re often referred to by their combined symbols NdPr. And they’re vital components in some of the 21st century’s leading [New Energy]( technologies. The good news is that you don’t have to be able to pronounce or spell these metals to understand their importance… or profit from them. Today, I’ll show you why demand for these little-known elements is set to more than triple by the end of the decade. This will drive prices up. And I’ll show you a simple way to set yourself up to profit when it does… Recommended Link [Is This $57 Trillion Opportunity For Real?]( [image]( The EV boom… it’s been called “the wave of the future” ... “already reshaping the auto industry.” And “One of the biggest... transformations... in the history of capitalism.” It’s part of a $57 trillion megatrend The Wall Street Journal calls “profound.” With Larry Fink, billionaire CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest investment firm, calling it: “The greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime.” But Dave Forest, senior analyst at Casey Research, has some bad news. After taking a cross country road trip in a Tesla Model 3... He’s uncovered a huge problem… that could bring the EV boom to its knees. Today he’s stepping forward to share the cold, hard truth of his experience. Including details on a new technology being called a “gamechanger.” Surprisingly, it’s not a new kind of battery. It’s a cutting-edge electronic power device. And Dave believes the obscure firm behind it... could help unlock this $57 trillion opportunity. [Get the details here.]( -- Making EVs Go Further It all comes down to one of the main uses of neodymium and praseodymium – magnets. Magnets made with NdPr can generate a constant magnetic force. For this reason, they are known as permanent magnets. This means they don’t need an electric current to generate magnetism. EVs equipped with NdPr magnets require less battery power than those with ordinary electromagnetic magnets. So they can drive longer distances before needing to be recharged. Most EV manufacturers, including Tesla, Toyota, Ford, and General Motors, already use NdPr magnets in their motors. And as I’ve told you before, [the number of EVs sold each year is set to quadruple]( from current levels to about 26 million by the end of this decade. And with carmakers trying to increase the distance their EV can travel on a single charge, demand for NdPr magnets from the EV industry will soar. Currently, EVs account for about 10% of annual NdPr production. But that is set to increase to 50% by the end of the decade… And by 2035, demand for NdPr from the EV industry is expected to outstrip current supply. And when demand rises, prices typically follow. On top of that, there’s another New Energy technology vying for NdPr supply… [Featured: Be Warned: Fill Up While You Can, America…]( Tailwind from Wind Turbines Today, wind turbines account for about 9% of the NdPr magnet market. NdPr magnets eliminate the need for a gearbox in wind turbines. Gearboxes encase the mechanics of the units, similar to a transmission in a vehicle. Without a gearbox, the need for constant maintenance is eliminated. Additionally, this allows the turbine to generate energy at lower wind speeds. And the wind energy sector is starting to pick up… In 2020, offshore wind turbines produced about 35 gigawatts (GW) of energy annually. But the International Energy Agency expects the number of annual offshore wind installations to grow 13-fold by 2030. And this will increase annual output to about 270 GW. This will generate huge additional demand for NdPr. Wind turbines need up to 232 kilograms of NdPr magnets per megawatt (MW) of energy generated. So, the extra 235 GW of energy wind turbines will produce by 2030 will require more than 50,000 metric tons of NdPr.

DOING… And watch this critical video from inside the Miami Bitcoin 2022 Conference – ASAP. [Click here – LIVE footage reveals curious details!]( -- Demand Will Outstrip Supply So we have two rapidly growing industries driving demand for NdPr over the coming years. Overall, demand for NdPr is expected to grow from 42,100 metric tons in 2019 to 109,800 metric tons by 2030. Nearly 90% of this growth will come from clean energy technologies such as EVs and windmills. Meanwhile, the market is entering a period of under-supply due to NdPr’s role in the global shift towards New Energy. China currently holds most of the cards in the rare earths market. It produces and processes almost 60% of global rare earth supplies. And as I told you in a recent essay, right now, [the supply from China is far from guaranteed](. Other nations, [including the U.S.]( are increasingly focusing on sourcing, producing, or forming other alliances in the rare earths arena. But even so, the huge spike in demand from the EV and wind energy sectors means we’ll likely see shortages of NdPr in the coming years. [Featured: Trading Millionaire Reveals, “2008 Was My Most Profitable Year”]( According to independent research and advisory service Adamas Intelligence, by 2030, there could be a global annual deficit of 16,000 metric tons of NdPr. That should lead prices higher. NdPr prices have been steadily increasing over the past two years. Neodymium is up 292% and praseodymium is up 295%. And prices are expected to increase further over the next few years, as you can see in the chart below. Neodymium is expected to increase by 40% and praseodymium is expected to go up 64% by 2025. [Chart] NdPr will play a key role in the New Energy transition in the coming years… and its price will reflect that.

The best way to get exposure to the growth in NdPr is to buy shares in NdPr mining companies. But these often come with a degree of risk only suitable to those with a taste for the higher-stakes table. Instead, you can consider investing in the VanEck Vectors Rare Earth ETF (REMX) to position yourself to benefit from the overall growing need for rare earths, including NdPr, worldwide. The fund holds companies involved in producing, refining, and recycling rare earth and strategic metals and minerals. So, it gives you broad exposure to the REE industry. As an exchange-traded fund (ETF), it also carries less company-specific risk than investing in individual companies. Happy investing, and I’ll be in touch again soon.

Send your thoughts to [feedback@rogueeconomics.com](mailto:feedback@rogueeconomics.com?subject=Inside Wall Street Feedback). --------------------------------------------------------------- MAILBAG In last week’s mailbag, reader Jon G. respectfully disagreed with Nomi’s belief that [the position of the U.S. dollar as reserve currency is secure](. And he spelled out what he believes is China’s strategy to achieve world economic domination. This reader believes the U.S. will play a part in its own downfall… Dear Nomi, first let me say I really admire what you’re doing and wish you the best of luck. Second, I do mostly agree with Jon G. as to his analysis and mapping out China’s future planning. But it’s going to take quite a while for China to accomplish all that. See, for example, how long they have waited in their intended takeover of Taiwan. China has a multiple-century tradition of moving slowly and carefully. And they have patience. As long as the U.S. keeps on dividing and fighting itself, the opportunity for China to become preeminent will remain, in my view. – Peter N. And another questions [Nomi’s comments on the stability of the U.S. dollar]( and thinks some have grown tired of the U.S. financial “chicanery”… Hi Nomi. I do like the feedback segment. My question concerns the monetary system and your comments on the dollar. The last person that sees a bubble is the one that is in it. I have to giggle when our politicians/monetary authorities accuse China of currency debasement and government control while wearing “rose colored” glasses. There have been monetary changes throughout history and it appears the eastern hemisphere has grown tired of U.S. financial chicanery. China has moved forward on several financial fronts to promote financial destiny. It appears all they want is to have a form of stable currency. I'm not sure if they want to be the world reserve currency but want some form of value to their currency and that is why they have encouraged their citizens to own gold. Do we have “rose colored” glasses? – Steven S. Do you think that reader Steven is right and that the U.S. has “rose colored glasses”? And if the U.S. does keep infighting, as Peter writes, how soon will China swoop in to become the dominant economy?
