MP Materials Trading Volume Drops 30% But Ranks 219th Amid Rare Earths Market Optimism

On July 24, 2025, MP Materials (MP) saw a trading volume of 5.31 billion, a 30.02% decrease from the previous day, ranking 219th in the day's stock market. MP Materials (MP) rose by 0.69%, marking its third consecutive day of gains, with a total increase of 4.32% over the past three days.

Lynas Corp, a major player in the rare earths industry, has expressed optimism about rising prices for rare earths following the U.S. government's support for MP Materials. This support is expected to bolster the demand for rare earth materials, which are crucial for various high-tech applications, including electric vehicles and wind turbines.

Lynas Corp reported a 10% increase in fourth-quarter revenue, driven by higher prices, with sales reaching A$170.2 million. The company also announced plans to establish a magnet manufacturing facility, further solidifying its position in the rare earths market. This development is likely to have a positive impact on MP Materials, as it indicates a growing demand for rare earth materials and increased investment in the sector.

Lynas Corp's positive outlook on rare earth prices is supported by the market's anticipation of higher demand for Western materials. The company's share price already reflects a long-term neodymium-praseodymium oxide price of about $104 per kilogram, suggesting that the market is already factoring in the potential for further price increases. This market sentiment is likely to benefit MP Materials, as it operates in the same sector and is expected to see increased demand for its products.
