About this episode
In this episode we dig into rare earth metals - key elements for everyday technologies but also vital to the energy transition from electric motors to wind turbines. Beyond this, these elements have become of strategic national importance. We examine the supply chain and market structure, both historically with its booms and busts and whether the next cycle will be different and why. We also look at what the opportunities might be for commodity traders and investors. Our expert guest on this episode is Chris Goodman. Chris is on the board of Canada Rare Earth, a former executive of Talaxis, and has twenty years’ experience trading hard commodities.
