Lithium inventories are tightening, but lithium equities remain under pressure. In this week’s Rock Stock Recap, Howard Klein, Matt Fernley and Tomasz Nadrowski of Amvest Capital discuss the critical minerals sell-off, lithium market fundamentals, rare earths, nickel, tungsten, AI infrastructure, energy bottlenecks, mining inflation, government support and where value may be emerging across mining equities.

Topics include CATL demand signals, Australian spodumene producer earnings, falling lithium inventories, defense-related critical minerals demand, oil and inflation risks, uranium flows, and whether the recent mining stock sell-off is a buying opportunity or a warning sign.
