China just reminded the world who controls the rare-earth market.

Overnight, Beijing rolled out a new draft penalty framework targeting violations across rare-earth mining, refining, and magnet production — producing above quota limits, operating without licenses, blocking government inspections.

In plain English: China is tightening its grip on one of the most critical supply chains in the global economy. Rare-earth stocks surged across Chinese exchanges immediately after the announcement, with several names hitting daily trading limits. Second-quarter concentrate prices were raised 45% quarter-over-quarter — the biggest jump since China changed its pricing system in 2023.

In today’s Masters in Trading LIVE, Jonathan Rose reveals his complete 8-stock critical minerals watchlist and exactly how he’s positioning ahead of the crowd.
