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.
