US-Ukraine minerals deal: key commodities at stake Ukraine is set to sign an “improved” minerals deal with the US after the US dropped its claim to $500 billion in potential revenue, according to the FT. The news has boosted the euro and market sentiment, but what about the commodities involved?
Ukraine holds about 5% of the world's critical raw materials, essential for EVs, clean energy, and defense. Its untapped reserves, valued at over £12 trillion, include lithium, titanium, and graphite. The US is eager to secure these resources to reduce reliance on China, which dominates 75% of rare earth production.
Ukraine has commercially viable deposits of 117 key minerals. It holds 500,000 tonnes of lithium, vital for rechargeable batteries, and one of Europe's largest titanium reserves, used in aerospace and military industries. Ukraine also holds 20% of global graphite resources, crucial for EV batteries and nuclear reactors.
However, 20% of Ukraine’s land, including regions with £6 trillion in mineral wealth, is currently under Russian occupation. Bordering areas containing £2.8 trillion in resources, faces an advancing Russian military.
Tesla $TSLA vs Lithium PricesTesla NASDAQ:TSLA vs Lithium Prices
Tesla was faced with crushing increases in the price of lithium which created a feedback-loop spiral to the downside for investor and speculator expectations.
There were many other factors going on at the same time for Tesla's big slide from $400+ down to $100+ per share, but this picture paints a picture and story which is easy to remember.
One of the biggest costs of producing battery-electric-vehicles (BEV's) is the cost of lithium. This massive run-up in the price of lithium may have exposed Tesla to the uncertain pricing of lithium supplies and may also have encouraged Tesla to begin their own lithium extracting and processing operations. Clearly, this was a problem and it fed into investor expectations and drove the stock lower and lower until finally the fever broke and lithium prices have crashed.
Keep an eye on Lithium prices here at TradingView and set alerts for a heads-up on sharp increases or decreases in the price to have a heads-up on what is happening under the surface.
