On June 9, 2025, London was the scene of a key meeting between U.S. and Chinese trade delegations. Amid a crisis triggered by China's suspension of rare earth exports, both powers are seeking agreements to restore the flow of essential inputs for the global technology industry.
Chinese exports to the U.S. fell 34.5% in May, causing severe disruptions in sectors such as electronics, defense, and clean energy. On the negotiation table is the possibility of the U.S. easing restrictions on next-generation chips in exchange for a partial restoration of strategic mineral trade.
Analysts agree that this meeting will set the tone for the coming months. If an agreement is reached, we could see a temporary drop in prices; if negotiations fail, a scenario of commercial realignments with new players will emerge.
