• Remains constructive on critical materials due to energy security trends, supply constraints, and ongoing investor interest driven by electrification, AI, and energy security.

• Ongoing expansion of exchange-listed product offerings and new lending fund fundraising.

• The company expects commodity prices, especially for critical materials, to have more room to grow as higher incentive pricing is needed to reshore and expand capacity in the West.
