Will these lithium stocks rise in value this month?
Lithium stocks are still in a volatile position despite all of the positives going for them. If better battery technology is created, it could hurt the lithium industry. Right now, lithium stocks are not in a record-breaking position. But if you look at charts year over year then you will see the exponential growth that this sector has experienced. While many turn to traditional mining stocks like gold and silver, lithium has a lot to offer.
At the moment, most electric vehicles are using lithium-ion batteries in their cars. This means that the demand for lithium has increased with the popularity of electric vehicles over time. There are many lithium stocks that have risen to popularity as a result of the electric vehicle growth. Companies like VW and Audi have vowed to have many electric vehicles in the near future.
Currently, the market has a lot of inflation fears amid all of the financial aid provided by the government. Nobody knows for sure how this may impact mining stocks such as those that process lithium. With all of this in mind, let’s take a look at three lithium stocks that have potential in the market.
