Invest in Technology Metals Means Invest in Future
During the past decade, many impetus investors have turned their attention
to a niche angle of the commodity investment markets – technology
metals. Companies that explore and or process technology metals are of
specific interest to alternative investors because of strong positive moves in
the prices. On the basis of the particular growth rate of these metal prices,
prudent investors will likely add these alternative assets to their watch lists
because they could be setting up for a continued progress.
China extracts over 97% of all tech metals. These minerals are at the core of
defense, industrial, and consumer goods technologies. They are used in
everything from mobile commucations and sensing devices to wind
turbines. China has increased its export controls to meet its domestic
demand. This will directly impede production by technology manufacturers.
Technology metals include lanthanides, tantalum, niobium, yttrium, and
scandium. Among the lanthanides, neodymium and samarium are used to
make magnets for motors and turbines. Lanthanum is used in
semiconductor chips for memory and processing devices. Tantalum is used
to make steel even stronger and lighter in weight. Defense and cyber-
specific applications include jet fighter airframe and engines, guidance
systems, space-based communications, and anti-missile defense.
Energy products like transformers for electric transmission, turbines for wind
power, and motors for electric transport systems require technology metals
for their production. And what makes technology metals more precious is
the difficulty in discovering deposits, extracting usable ore, and processing
into oxide concentrates.
Over the last 15 years the U.S. has become completely dependent on
imports of technology metals, mainly from China. But China has begun to
limit its tech-metal production and exports. According to the statistics, world
demand for technology metals is projected to rise to at least 160,000 tons
annually and will grow by more than 7%. According to the industry experts,
the prices of technology metals will continue to grow as supply fails to meet
demand.
Electio Invest Dubai offers a
guaranteed platform for investors
who wish to include tech metals
in their portfolios, as they help the
investors to physically own these precious metals. Technology
metals have held up well during
the financial crisis, as they aren’t
exchange traded commodities
and aren’t subject to exploratory
trading like gold, silver and other
metals.
Prices for materials used in tech metal
magnets had actually increased last
year; those technology metals
include neodymium, praseodymium,
terbium, dysprosium and didymium, a
blend of praseodymium and
neodymium. Electio assists investors to
own these metals to make their
portfolios safer in a highly volatile
financial market.
