Boston, MA 07/18/2013 (wallstreetpr) – The shares of Molycorp Inc. (NYSE:MCP) are expected to move on for a rally in the near future with the company looking to commence production at the new Mountain Pass mine. It is all glory for the investors who had been waiting for any news from the stock. The company had stayed on to be a laggard for most of the trading sessions this year with a total loss in prices by around 70% for the past 52 weeks. However, this recent announcement on the production of Light Rare Earth Element from its mines and further revenue generation in the upcoming quarters had kept the investors attached to the stock.
This attraction to MCP is further proved by the fact that there had been a rush of 13,000 call contracts traded recently at the out-of-the-money price with majority of the contracts on the call side. Though this huge trade on the call contracts of the stock proves to enhance the investor attraction, it is still unclear whether the company would manage to take off the rally as expected. However, investors may expect to cash in significant returns from MCP at least in the near future from the marginal gains being booked by the stock.
There had been a gain of 3.92% in the shares of Molycorp Inc., which closed at $7.15 per share on Wednesday.
