US-China trade war
Ahead of the meeting between US President Trump and China's President Xi differences in the approach of both countries remain clear. China’s rise has not only been due to the ability to copy western products but also in innovation itself. The US have so far not been able to make up for their lack of rare earth while China increased processing capabilities as well as also innovate in in the semiconductors space.

A break of the USD 56,00 technical support zone might offer another big slide in prices in the near future. The global economy remains fragile and could quickly cause the demand to fade more.
