What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of REMX's holdings, performance and risks.
Basic Materials makes up 100.0% of the fund, which makes it the largest sector in VanEck Rare Earth and Strategic Metals ETF (REMX). Because nearly all of the holdings sit in that one sector, the fund's moves track that sector closely. REMX is a Natural Resources fund run by VanEck, and it launched on October 27, 2010.
Ownership costs are set at 0.53% a year, which works out to $53.00 on every $10,000 placed in the fund. The fund carries $1.8B in net assets, pays a distribution yield of 2.03%, and runs portfolio turnover of 74%.
REMX typically moves about 1.86% on an average day. Basic Materials accounts for 100.0% of the holdings, so the fund leans heavily on a single sector. The trend stays against holders until the price climbs back above its moving averages. At 51.39% under its 52-week high of $111.55, the fund is well off its peak.

CleaRank AI analysis of REMX
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
REMX, the VanEck Rare Earth and Strategic Metals ETF, is trending down. Trading at $54.23, the fund sits 23.00% under its 50-day average of $70.43 and 36.33% under its 200-day average of $85.17. It is close to the floor of its 52-week range: the price is 0.89% above the $53.75 low, while sitting 51.39% below the $111.55 high. The 50-day average is 17.31% below the 200-day, a gap that backs up the weak trend rather than cutting against it.
The 14-day RSI of 17.2 is in oversold territory, and the MACD line is negative. The record is negative across every period shown: the price fell 25.37% over the past three months, fell 46.64% over the past six months and fell 25.56% over the past year. Volume in the last session ran 31.8% above its average, on a day the price fell 2.71%.
- Keep an eye on the two closest levels. Above the price sits the 20-day EMA at $61.98, and below it sits the 52-week low at $53.75.
- A 14-day RSI of 17.2 falls in the oversold zone, and the MACD line is negative as well. Readings above 70 or below 30 are generally taken as signs of stretched momentum.
- Fees add up over time. REMX's expense ratio of 0.53% a year means $53.00 is charged on every $10,000 put into the fund.
REMX sits beneath both its 50-day ($70.43) and 200-day ($85.17) averages, and that positioning is the reason the trend reads as down. A move back above the 50-day would be the first real sign of repair. Just overhead, the 20-day EMA at $61.98 is the closest level the price would meet on the way up.
Below the price, the next level to watch is the 52-week low at $53.75. The RSI has dropped under the oversold line, which means momentum has been flushed out. If the RSI climbs back above that line, it would be an early hint that the decline is leveling off.

Long-term scenarios
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in REMX, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in REMX today could grow to about $14,709 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $68,354 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $3,165. The simulation models price only; at today's 2.03% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
REMX 2030 Scenarios (Monte Carlo)
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $63.28 for REMX by 2030 in the base case, from $54.23 today (1.2x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $23.95. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on REMX's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
