Antimony Shortage Drives Prices Sky-High Across Industries

Imagine a special ingredient, like salt, but used in many important things like batteries and fire-resistant clothes.

Right now, there isn't enough of this ingredient called antimony.

China, which makes most of it, is selling less.

This makes the price of antimony go way up, affecting many companies that need it.

Because of this, everything from batteries to military stuff might cost more.

Countries are now looking for antimony elsewhere and trying to find ways to reuse what we already have.
