MP Materials Corp. (MP) saw its stock price soar 7.40% during intraday trading on Tuesday, marking a significant upward movement.
The surge appears to be driven by news that former President Donald Trump announced the establishment of a critical mineral reserve, dubbed "Project Vault". The initiative is designed to prevent shortages in rare earth minerals, a sector in which MP Materials is a key player. The announcement has sparked bullish sentiment across the rare earth mining industry, with several related stocks also rising in pre-market and early trading activity.
