Sep 25

Rare earth stocks including Energy Fuels (UUUU), Ioneer (IONR) and NioCorp Developments (NB) were up Wednesday after a Reuters report said the Group of Seven nations and the EU are considering price floors and tariffs to encourage investment in rare earth production.

The discussions come amid efforts to counter China's dominance in the supply of critical minerals after Beijing introduced export controls earlier this year, the report said, citing sources with knowledge of the matter.

Representatives for the Group of Seven nations and the EU did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment on the matter.

Shares of Energy Fuels, Ioneer and NioCorp were up 5.8%, 24.7%, and 4.7%, respectively, in recent afternoon trading.
