🔴 Rare Earth Metals ETF (VVMX.DE) is trading 3% down on October 9, 2026, amid risk aversion

VVMX.DE is trading at €10.59 (-3.02%) as elevated Treasury yields and surging oil amid Middle East escalation reinforced risk aversion.

• Rare-earth and critical-metals shares faced broad selling for a second session; the comparable VanEck ETF fell about 3%, while the S&P 500 was down 0.6% on October 8.
• Rare-earth spot prices in China were largely stable, suggesting the ETF decline reflected equity-sector sentiment rather than a sudden commodity-price drop.
