Scandium supply chain security boosts Sunrise Energy
Sunrise Energy Metals holds one of the highest-grade scandium deposits globally; scandium is critical for semiconductors, solid oxide fuel cells powering AI infrastructure, and advanced defense alloys; China controls 88% of global scandium supply with extreme export controls; the US-Australia rare earths deal and G7 focus on building sustainable Western supply chains provide strong policy support for the project, which is one of the most advanced critical minerals projects and aims to begin production in mid-2028.

Long 10-year Treasuries into Fed relief rally
The US 10-year Treasury yield is too high relative to oil prices and the impending Fed decision; the Fed will hold rates, remove the easing bias, and signal future cuts in the dot plot, removing overpriced rate hike expectations, which will allow bonds to rally this week.
