Rare earth metals have become some of the world's most valued resources. They are found in almost every car, gadget and household. After the US stopped the excavation of rare earth materials China now has a monopoly on its production.

The cost of many rare earth elements has defied analysts' predictions with steep price increases since the beginning of the month. For instance in the last week, the price of dysprosium has risen from around $700 per kilogram up to $1,470.
