đš TRUMPâS CLEAN-ENERGY SWERVE â WHAT IT MEANS FOR COMMODITIES, INVESTORS & THE FUTURE đš
Donald Trump is making bold shifts in U.S. energy and industrial policy â and the reverberations are hitting commodities, supply chains, and renewable plays across the market.
đ Whatâs happening
âą The administration announced a fast-track approval for new oil & gas pipeline projects and a review of subsidies for solar and wind, signalling a pivot back toward fossil fuels.
âą At the same time, steel tariffs are being tightened and rare-earth import rules loosened â a move seen as boosting U.S. domestic production of EV components, but also threatening supply-chain disruptions overseas.
âą Trump publicly stated that the U.S. will prioritize âAmerican-made batteries, mines, plantsâ before any foreign-made clean-technology imports.
đ Why markets should care
âą Commodities: Higher demand for coal, oil, steel, rare-earths = possible price pressure for these inputs, which has implications for inflation and industrial margins.
âą Clean-Energy equities: Companies relying on imported solar panels, or overseas supply-chains, may face cost escalation and regulatory headwinds.
âą Infrastructure and manufacturing: Domestic miners, metal-producers, heavy-industry get a potential boost â but many are deeply exposed to global cost, labour and trade variables.
â
What you should do now
â Re-assess exposures in clean-tech companies with heavy import-loads or global supply-chains.
â Consider commodity opportunities in rare-earths, steel and batteries â policies may favour domestic production.
â Monitor inflation-input dynamics: If raw-material prices rise due to policy shift, central banks and rates come into play.
â Stay humble: Policy-driven shifts like this carry risk of backlash, regulatory changes, and global retaliation.
