Antimony is increasingly becoming the focus of investors. It is a critical component for the military. Whether in infrared sensors, ammunition, batteries, semiconductors, or alloys, antimony has become very important for national security. It is also used in flame retardants and solar glass. In 2024, Beijing imposed export restrictions, and China controls a good 60 percent of global production from mines and just under 90 percent of further processing.

Although the export ban has now been suspended, Europe and the US remain focused on securing the most reliable supply of antimony possible. Of course, having their own capacities would be best for Western governments, as it is uncertain whether the deal between Beijing and the US will last. So, from November 28, 2026, the clock could start ticking again. Global defense spending reached a record high of US$2.7 trillion in 2024. And military spending is rising virtually worldwide.

Investments in antimony certainly have exciting potential. In addition to rising defense spending, uncertainties regarding geopolitical developments are also increasing. And this is where gold comes into play, as it benefits from crises. The Fed is expected to cut interest rates again in December, as well as in 2026 – a policy that is good for the price of gold. Diversification is a key word for investors, and it might be a good idea to keep an eye on companies that have both gold and antimony in the ground.
