The lithium market has regained interest after the Trump administration confirmed it is weighing a stake in Lithium Americas (NYSE: LAC). While gold advances toward its second-best year on record, lithium, “the white gold,” has been mostly out of the spotlight.
Still, Lithium Americas has nearly doubled, opening at $3.24 per share on Monday, climbing as high as $7.72 intraday on Thursday, and ending last week at $6.32. Reports suggest Washington could seek up to a 10% equity stake in exchange for adjusting conditions tied to a $2.3 billion Department of Energy loan for the Thacker Pass project.
