Despite a strong handover from Wall Street stocks, the Australian stock market opened flat on Tuesday. However, at 2.27 PM AEST, the ASX 200 Index was 0.042% up at 7,152.00 points.
Except for the materials, financial and A-REIT sectors, all other sectors were trading in the red today. Meanwhile, when it comes to mining, the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX:XMJ) was 0.35% higher at 17,491.60 points at the same time.
It is worth noting that lithium prices have increased by almost 400% in the last year (as of 18 May). Lithium is a significant component in the production of electric car batteries, and it is expected that global lithium sales will expand by up to 20 times between 2020 and 2030.
A team of researchers from Japan's National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) has recently developed a lithium-air battery with a record-breaking energy density of more than 500 watt-hours per kilogramme (Wh/kg).
In this article, we will talk about three ASX-listed mining stocks, including Sayona Mining (ASX:SYA), Core Lithium Ltd (ASX:CXO), and Pilbara Minerals Limited (ASX:PLS).
