EU and Vietnam in a joint statement are set to agree on a deeper connection on critical minerals and semiconductors.

What it means

The EU and Vietnam's commitment to deepen ties on critical minerals and semiconductors signals a strategic pivot to enhance supply chain resilience. This move is likely aimed at countering reliance on other regions, particularly in light of global supply chain disruptions, which could bolster both parties' positions in the semiconductor market and impact related equities and commodities.
