UAMY Stock Set For Another Blistering Week? Retail Traders Are Betting It’s The Next Government-Backed Miner

Trump’s USA Rare Earth move ignites speculation across critical minerals.

• Shares of United States Antimony Corp (UAMY) closed up nearly 31% last week, its third straight week of gains and the best one seen since mid-October last year.
• UAMY’s gains last week were a result of the closing of a property acquisition of a critical minerals flotation facility that closed on Jan. 16.
• Over the weekend, media reports surfaced that the Trump administration has taken a 10% stake in USA Rare Earth as part of a broader investment package.

Critical minerals producer United States Antimony Corp’s shares are poised to extend their recent rally after posting their best weekly performance in more than three months, riding a broader wave of investor enthusiasm sparked by the Trump administration’s investment in USA Rare Earth.

UAMY’s stock closed up nearly 31% last week, marking its third consecutive week of gains and its strongest weekly advance since mid-October. Retail traders on Stocktwits have become increasingly bullish on United States Antimony Corp, speculating that the company could be next in line for direct government investment, in addition to its existing contract with federal agencies.

The new investment is on the heels of similar equity investments last year in Trilogy Metals and MP Materials. Shares of USA Rare Earth surged 19% in overnight trading, according to Yahoo Finance, while Critical Metals jumped 6% and MP Material gained over 4%.
