Valor de mercado US$ 2,36 bi

I reiterate my Buy recommendation on the iShares MSCI Global Metals & Mining Producers ETF, which remains in a long-term bullish trend near record highs. Industrial metals prices, especially copper, zinc, tin, and steel, have posted strong double-digit gains in 2026, driving profitability for mining companies held in PICK. PICK offers diversified exposure to leading global mining firms, with robust liquidity, a 2% yield, and a 0.39% management fee.

The United States is finally starting to dig itself out of a rare earth metals hole it spent decades digging. The effort got a boost on July 29, when Energy Fuels announced that construction has begun on a commercial-scale expansion at its White Mesa Mill in Utah.

FOX Business correspondent Lydia Hu has the latest on the impact of tariffs under the Trump administration on 'The Bottom Line.'

America's rare earths problem is often framed as a mining problem.

Japan Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is set to hold talks in Canberra ​on Monday with Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese, ‌at which energy security and rare earths cooperation are likely to be high on the agenda.

ISM shows strongest expansion since 2022 — but inflation is a big problem

Governments around the world are treating metals and minerals as strategic assets, and that shift is creating a structural demand floor that did not exist a decade ago.

The iShares MSCI Global Metals & Mining Producers ETF (PICK) faces short-term headwinds from inflation and geopolitical conflict, particularly the Iran situation. PICK's portfolio is concentrated in mega-cap diversified miners and steel/copper names, with economic risk tied to global construction and China-driven demand. Valuations for PICK's top holdings are fair and supported by strong quant ratings, but cyclical risks and high volatility warrant caution.

The iShares MSCI Global Metals & Mining Producers ETF ( NYSEARCA:PICK ) has surged 66% over the past year, climbing from roughly $35 to $58 per share.
