China's Rare Earth Exports Slump in May as Magnet Sales Curbed
(Bloomberg) — China's exports of rare earth products — including powerful magnets now at the heart of tensions with the US — slumped to a fresh five-year low in May as Beijing's export curbs choked flows. Security Concerns Hit Some of the World's 'Most Livable Cities' How E-Scooters Conquered (Most of) Europe As Part of a $45 Billion Push, ICE Prepares for a Vast Expansion of Detention Space Taser-Maker Axon Triggers a NIMBY Backlash in its Hometown JFK AirTrain Cuts Fares 50% This Summer to Lure Riders Off Roads The data for last month shows the extent to which export controls in place since early April had curbed shipments, before a US-China meeting to resolve the restrictions. A shortage of vital magnets has threatened industries including car making from the US to Europe and India. May's export volume of rare earth products fell by 61% from a year earlier to 2,117 tons, the lowest level since February 2020, according to calculations by Bloomberg News based on Chinese customs data. The products category — distinct from minerals and metals — is typically dominated by magnets. Exports had already fallen sharply in April. China produces about 90% of the world's so-called permanent rare earth magnets, and has used its grip on supplies to fight a burgeoning trade war with the US. Export controls launched on April 4 covered not just seven individual rare earths, but also magnets that contain even tiny amounts of them. Governments and companies in the US are watching how flows change in June. Following a meeting between American and Chinese negotiators in London earlier this month, US President Donald Trump said 'FULL MAGNETS, AND ANY NECESSARY RARE EARTHS, WILL BE SUPPLIED, UP FRONT, BY CHINA.' Specific data on exports of magnets is due to be published by Chinese customs on Friday. In the first quarter of 2025, ahead of export curbs, magnets accounted for nearly 90% of the rare earth products group.

A 200%-Plus Bond Rally Sours as Lebanon's Reform Story Stalls
Emerging-market bond investors' most profitable bet of the past year is now handing them double-digit losses — as Lebanon's stalled banking reforms sink its sovereign debt. The defaulted dollar bonds of the Lebanese government had returned 229% between late September and early March, beating 67 other countries in a Bloomberg index for the asset class. The gains were sparked by a breakthrough in the country's politics, with a functional government formed for the first time in more than two years and reform-friendly leaders appointed to key posts.
