The AI's read

Federal tariffs on foreign drones plus new procurement agreements with Boeing and RTX just landed. That directly raises demand for rare earths and strengthens the case for onshore processing at Mountain Pass. MP jumped ~6% today and RSI sits at 73, so the market has already priced part of the move. Still, MP is the only active U.S. rare-earth site, so longer-term demand visibility improves materially. We lean bullish because the catalyst is fresh and defense procurement is sticky. Conviction is tempered by the recent run and stretched technicals, so sizing and stops matter for anyone watching the name.
