Invest in Technology Metals Means Invest in Future
by Electio Invest Electio Middle EastDuring 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.
