The ASX 200 materials sector ended in green today, which seems to be reason behind Lynas’ share price gain.

What is the reason behind Lynas’ share price jump today?

There is no recent update from the company on the ASX, yet the shares of Lynas closed almost 4% strong on the ASX today as the ASX 200 Materials sector performed well today. This could be the reason behind Lynas’ share price gain today.

The S&P/ASX 200 Materials sector (ASX:XMJ) closed 0.868% higher at 16722.5 on the ASX today (11 May). The share price of XMJ has almost fallen by 6% on the ASX over the past 12 months. On the other hand, XMJ’s year-to-date share price also fell over 2% on the ASX today.

Last week Lynas released its quarterly financial results for Q3 FY22 stating high revenue driven by increased demands for rare earth minerals and price surge globally. The company further expects to deliver better results in the upcoming quarters as the demand is likely to increase even more due to the government’s goal of electrification of vehicles. This could be another probable cause for Lynas’ share price surge and heavy trading volume on the ASX.
