Resolves YES if the trailing twelve months (TTM) average price of tantalum concentrate imports, as reported by industry price indexes or government trade data, exceeds $150 per pound on April 1, 2026. This market reflects ongoing supply tightness driven by increased capacitor demand and supply disruptions from the DRC and Rwanda, which have pushed prices sharply higher recently. The threshold of $150/lb is near current elevated price levels, capturing uncertainty about whether prices will sustain or rise further by early April. Only official published price data from recognized market sources or government customs statistics will be used for resolution.

Tantalum concentrate prices are surging due to increased capacitor demand and supply disruptions from DRC and Rwanda. As market tightness persists, prices are expected to continue rising in the near term.
