Investor Optimism Boosts Jump of These 10 Stocks

5. MP Materials Corp. (NYSE:MP)

Metal miner MP Materials saw its stock price rise by 12.42 percent on Monday to finish at $20.46 apiece following reports that incoming president Donald Trump is set to levy taxes that would apply to all countries but be limited to specific critical imports, including critical minerals and energy production.

Assuming reports are true, MP Materials, a rare earth mining company, stands to benefit significantly from any potential plan.

Rare earths are a group of 17 metals used to make magnets that turn power into motion for electric vehicles, cell phones, and other electronics. MP Materials is one of the largest non-Chinese rare earth miners and processors.
