Rare earth stocks continued a remarkable rally on Monday following geopolitical developments and major investment pledges, including a $1.5 trillion initiative from the largest bank in the country, JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM).
Positive momentum in the critical minerals sector was amplified by the major institutional support combined with recent U.S. government policy moves and increased trade tensions with China.

“It has become painfully clear that the United States has allowed itself to become too reliant on unreliable sources of critical minerals, products and manufacturing – all of which are essential for our national security,” said Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorganChase.
“Our security is predicated on the strength and resiliency of America’s economy. America needs more speed and investment," Dimon added.
JPMorganChase said that it will focus on four key areas—with critical minerals listed first—and support companies by offering advice, providing financing and investing capital.
