MP Materials (MP) Rallies 13.4% on Rare Earths Deal

MP Materials Corp. (NYSE:MP) is one of the 10 Stocks Post Jaw-Dropping Gains.

MP Materials rose for a third day on Monday, jumping 13.42 percent to end at $34.65 apiece as investor sentiment was boosted by the United States and China’s progress on rare earths mineral exports.

Last week, the US and China engaged in a three-day trade negotiation in London that was said to have focused on rare earths negotiations.

Under the agreement, China will loosen restrictions on rare earths, allowing companies to supply magnets and elements to US firms.

MP Materials Corp. (NYSE:MP)—the only rare earth producer in the US, also benefitted from the trade talks progress given its heavy reliance on Chinese companies in the refinery of elements.

It can be learned that MP Materials Corp. (NYSE:MP) stopped shipping mines to China for processing after the Chinese government previously slapped a 125-percent tariff on US imports.
