0144 GMT - UBS highlights some reasons why investors shouldn't fret too much about a potential oversupply of rare-earth oxides. In a note, the bank's analysts say they are "sympathetic to concerns about oversupply" and acknowledge "a large range of outcomes remains possible." They reckon that policies will support the development of ex-China magnet capacity in parallel with upstream rare-earth processing. Those magnet makers will need feedstock, they say. Projects for new rare-earths plants will take longer than expected, given technical complexity. "We remain of the view that magnet capacity will be quicker to come on vs. upstream assets," say the analysts. They reiterate a buy rating on miner Lynas, highlighting low costs and growing heavy rare-earths separation capacity "that is likely not fully appreciated yet."
