$USA Rare Earth Inc.(USAR)$ surged yesterday. The U.S. government is set to acquire a 10% stake in USA Rare Earth, backed by a total funding package of around $1.6 billion (federal funding + loans) to accelerate the buildout of domestic rare earth mining and magnet production capacity. This would mark the largest single U.S. government investment in critical minerals under the Trump administration so far. 1. Four Trump Deals in One Year! And the Market Went Wild In the past year, Trump-backed deals have repeatedly sent U.S. stocks flying: First, $400M was injected into rare earth miner $MP Materials Corp.(MP)$ Then $10B went into struggling chip giant $Intel(INTC)$
$12B Project Vault in Rare Earth: Is USAR the Real Winner?
The Trump administration is reportedly preparing a $12B strategic critical minerals reserve, dubbed Project Vault, aimed at reducing U.S. dependence on foreign supply chains. The plan combines $1.67B in private capital with $10B in Export-Import Bank loans to stockpile rare earths and other key metals for automakers and tech firms. USAR surged 16% intraday before reversing to close down 1.38%. Does Project Vault translate into real, near-term demand for USAR’s assets? Is the intraday reversal a warning sign of policy-trade exhaustion?
