  Hedgehogtrader has made another brilliant trading call on the Copper price movement. With US Dollar sliding few last weeks from Double Top Reversal we can expect supply and demand picture to push Copper higher. Elon Musk's vision for Tesla Energy and Solar Power will require a lot of this "green metal".

Strategic metals will be at the core of the supply chain for the next industrial revolution. Electric Cars, Solar and Wind Energy have already become strategic industries in China. Security of supply for strategic Energy Metals: Copper, Lithium and REE is the matter of state-level planning in that part of the world.

Commodities, US Dollar and FED: Steen Jakobsen: Get Ready For The Biggest Margin Call In History.

This warning comes from CIO of Saxo Bank. I found the situation with copper particularly interesting at this point of the economic cycle. If economy is so strong that all markets, apart from commodities, are hitting new ALL-Time-Highs - why Copper is still not participating in this party? It looks like Copper and other Green Metals becoming the win-win proposition now. If economy really has started to grow they will participate, additionally driven by green technology demand. If economy happen to be weak, another round of stimulus will come - this time from China. Infrastructure development will be the key for the future economic growth and demand for metals. Now China is driving it with AIIB and 1 Trillion in projects to spur growth!
  This year will be very interesting with US Dollar sliding below 97.00 last week, after 96.24 the Double Top Reversal will be confirmed and technical crowd will drive it lower pushing commodities higher. Is Oil already indicating this scenario? The money flow in Solar and Lithium Energy Storage from Apple, Google, BYD with Warren Buffett and Tesla will drive the new green metals super cycle.

Molycorp Chosen to Supply Rare Earths for Use in High-Efficiency Siemens Wind Turbine Generators

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., April 15, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Siemens AG ("Siemens") has selected Molycorp, Inc. (NYSE:MCP) ("Molycorp") to supply rare earth materials over the next 10 years from its Mountain Pass, California facility for incorporation into Siemens' high-efficiency, direct drive wind turbine generators. Molycorp will supply rare earth materials to Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. ("Shin-Etsu"), which will produce the rare earth magnets Siemens intends to utilize in its wind turbines.

Siemens officials noted that key factors in choosing Molycorp were Molycorp's ability to provide greater global diversification and reliability to its supply chain, as well as the environmental and process innovations Molycorp has built into its Mountain Pass rare earth facility. Among those innovations are the facility's ability to recycle water, regenerate the chemical reagents needed in rare earth production, generate power from a high-efficiency natural gas cogeneration power plant, and dispose of mine tailings through an innovative paste tailings system.

Siemens officials said that the magnets to be used in its direct drive wind turbines will contain reduced levels of heavy rare earth elements (HREEs), such as dysprosium. In collaboration with Siemens Wind Power, Molycorp and Shin-Etsu will improve the magnet material to reach zero HREEs, Siemens said. At the same time, Siemens added, supply chain reliability will be increased and costs will be reduced.

"The contract with Shin-Etsu and Molycorp is an important step for us in sourcing magnet materials for our direct drive wind turbines," said Morten Rasmussen, Head of Technology at Siemens Wind Power and Renewables Division. "We strive for diversification in the sourcing of these components to improve independency from specific markets."

"We are very pleased to have been selected to supply Siemens and Shin-Etsu with rare earth magnetic materials for this important clean energy supply chain project," said Geoff Bedford, Molycorp's President and Chief Executive Officer. "This agreement underscores Molycorp's commitment to partner with our customers to support their product development efforts and serve as an integrated, long-term provider of reliable rare earth supply."

Rare Earth Elements: Simple Commodity Or Strategic Vulnerability?

"Rare earths are a group of 17 elements with unique chemical, magnetic and luminescent properties crucial for the functioning of much of today’s high technology equipment, including MRIs, lap-top computers, hybrid vehicles and LEDs. They also have important applications in the defence industry. China is the dominant supplier of rare earth elements (REEs), meeting at least 85% of global demand. In 2010, REEs were splashed across the front pages of newspapers when it significantly reduced rare earth export quotas and temporarily suspended their shipment to Japan. Consumers quickly recognised that diversity of reliable supply is just as important as price and quality, and there is a concerted effort to replace, reduce and recycle REEs. So are REEs best understood as simple commodities, or as strategic resources that can be used as tools of statecraft? And can Australia play a part in the development of alternative reliable sources of rare earths? To help understand the strategic importance of REEs the National Security College and Crawford School of Public Policy welcome two global experts in the field."
