(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MP#NYSE">MP</a>) shares are trading higher premarket on Wednesday after the company disclosed an agreement with a Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Maaden) to explore opportunities for establishing a fully integrated, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45404358/maaden-and-mp-materials-collaborate-to-establish-full-value-chain-for-rare-earth-magnetics" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">end-to-end rare earth supply chain</a>.
This agreement unites the companies&#8217; expertise in exploration and processing to facilitate and mitigate risks in the development of potential Rare Earth Element (REE) deposits throughout Saudi Arabia.
Maaden and MP Materials intend to investigate opportunities to jointly build a vertically integrated rare earth supply chain within Saudi Arabia.
This would encompass mining, separation, refining, and magnet production, with the aim of fostering industrial growth and generating value for downstream industries.
MP Materials CEO James Litinsky, said. &#8220;Today&#8217;s announcement is an important first step towards rebalancing the global supply chain in a moment of transformational growth fueled by emerging technologies—especially in robotics and physical AI—while deepening the strategic alliance between the United States and Saudi Arabia.&#8221;
Bob Wilt, CEO of Maaden, added, &#8220;Through a potential partnership with MP Materials, and our deepening ties with the United States, we aim to create a global hub for a fully integrated rare earth value chain supporting advanced manufacturing in the Kingdom.&#8221;
Last week, MP Materials reported a first-quarter adjusted EPS loss of 12 cents, which was in line with analyst estimates, and sales reached $60.81 million, falling short o<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45299290/mp-materials-reports-first-quarter-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">f the estimated $63.69 million</a>.

Fathom Holdings shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q1 sales results.

XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) price climbed 5.46% to $2.55 on Tuesday. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-ripple-xrp">upward movement extends its weekly gains</a> to 18%, as reported by CoinMarketCap data. A massive spike in trading activity has been the major factor behind XRP&#8217;s price surge.&nbsp;
XRP's trading volume has skyrocketed by nearly 140% in the last 24 hours, and reached a substantial $10.51 billion. Data from Glassnode indicates an increase in XRP futures open interest, which has soared by 41.5% in just seven days to reach $3.42 billion.

</ul>
The surge in futures activity often reflects increased speculative interest, and can amplify price movements. "This sharp increase in leverage coincides with a price rally from $2.14 to $2.48, suggesting elevated speculative activity and growing directional conviction," tweeted Glassnode.
Further, on-chain data reveals a potential slowdown in selling pressure from large wallet holders (whales).
The change in whale behavior is considered a significant indicator. According to CryptoQuant, data from Kripto Mevsimi&#8217;s 30-day Whale Flow chart shows a rise in net flows and suggests that large holders are reducing their selling activity, and potentially accumulating more XRP.
"After months of relentless whale outflows, XRP's negative flow trend is finally losing steam — and may be on the verge of flipping positive," said Kripto Mevsimi while sharing the report.
The shift in whale activity has likely contributed to the strengthening of XRP&#8217;s recent rally and increased the probability of a longer-term recovery. Generally, when whales reduce their token selling, it results in sustained upward movements. Hopefully, it will continue to reflect in the price of XRP as well.
Surging trading volume, positive price action, increased futures open interest, and a potential shift in whale accumulation patterns bat for a bullish trajectory of XRP. More than that, community sentiment surrounding XRP has also turned overwhelmingly positive, with 88% of tracked wallet holders expressing a favorable outlook, according to CoinMarketCap.&nbsp;
This aligns with recent wallet growth and indicates rising interest and participation in the XRP ecosystem in 2025. These converging factors suggest that XRP may be poised for further gains in the short to medium term.
Meanwhile, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Group, a major derivatives marketplace, has announced that it will launch its XRP futures contracts on May 19. This development is widely viewed as a significant step forward, which could pave the way for the future approval of XRP ETFs.
As noted by TradingView, when CME introduced Bitcoin futures, it led to a significant price surge for BTC. However, the specific effect of CME&#8217;s XRP futures launch on XRP&#8217;s price is currently uncertain. While the long-term impact remains to be seen, the factors mentioned above suggest a potentially promising trajectory for XRP in the near future.
The growing anticipation of favorable legal outcomes, and the possibility of an XRP-spot ETF appear to be significant drivers of this sentiment.

President Donald J. Trump<a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/trump-flies-over-europe-secures-600b?r=3nmatg"> flew over Europe</a> on his way to Saudi Arabia, with some of America's most powerful business leaders in tow. There, he secured investments and geopolitical influence.
On the first day of Trump's visit to the Gulf region, the White House announced<a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/05/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-secures-historic-600-billion-investment-commitment-in-saudi-arabia/"> a $600-billion investment </a>commitment from Saudi Arabia. The deal will build economic ties that "will endure for generations to come," the White House said.
The two countries signed a $142 billion defense sales agreement, which provided Saudi Arabia with state-of-the-art warfighting equipment and services from US defense firms. Trump secured investment commitments from the US and Saudi private sectors.
Saudi Arabian DataVolt plans to <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/05/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-secures-historic-600-billion-investment-commitment-in-saudi-arabia/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">invest $20 billion</a> in US AI data centers and energy infrastructure. Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL), DataVolt, Oracle Corp., Salesforce Inc. (CRM), Advanced Micro Devices Inc., and Uber Technologies Inc. (UBER) have committed to investing $80 billion in cutting-edge transformative technologies in both countries.
&#8220;A great day in Saudi Arabia!!!&#8221;, Trump said in a post on the White House's <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/1922440355477164076">X </a>account.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Visits Highlight Region's Geopolitical Importance</h2>
The two-day visit has highlighted the importance of the Middle East for US companies and the country's broader geopolitical strategy. Trump will visit Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). He has no stops planned for Europe and <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/trump-eu-nastier-than-china/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">accused the European Union</a> (EU) of being "nastier than China" before his Middle East visit.
"Trump doesn't want China to develop a relationship in what I call the Middle East circle of friendship and that is Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE," Kevin O'Leary, Chairman of O&#8217;Leary Ventures and a regular media personality, <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://x.com/OutnumberedFNC/status/1922331817048252541">said</a> on Fox News.
"And then you ask yourself why are all these AI guys with him? He wants these companies to form very strong bonds in AI, and when we get later this week to UAE, that&#8217;s what you&#8217;re going to hear."
An A-list of US executives joined Trump in Saudi Arabia. They included Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang, AMD CEO Lisa Su, Tesla Inc. (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and Palantir Technologies (PLTR) CEO Alex Karp.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Strengthens Close Ties with Saudi Leader</h2>
Trump has established close ties with leaders from the Gulf states from his first presidency. His relationship with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the de facto Saudi ruler, has grown stronger in the past eight years.
Trump praised Washington's relationship with Riyadh. He described it as "stronger and more powerful than ever" during his speech in Riyadh. He noted the country&#8217;s massive economic changes.
In a nod to the Crown Prince, Trump confirmed he will end US sanctions on Syria. He <a href="https://x.com/Charles_Lister/status/1922327295991136386" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">received a standing</a> ovation from the entire ballroom.
In an <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://youtu.be/G3KRU3b59E8?si=xkWkuqgmmBF4IQmw">interview</a> with Bret Baier from Fox News, Saudi Economy and Planning Minister Faisal Alibrahim said, "There is a very strong partnership…built on mutual respect" between Trump and the Crown Prince. In sharp contrast, some European leaders <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/eu-china-recalibrate-ties-after-trumps?r=3nmatg">openly criticize Trump</a>, making little effort to cultivate personal ties with the president.
"Trump's decision to make the Arabian Peninsula his first planned international destination of his second term underscores that these are US partners he most wants to deal with," Daniel Benaim, an associate fellow at the Middle East Institute, <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.mei.edu/publications/trump-travels-middle-east-transition">wrote </a>on Monday.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CEOs Prefer Saudi Arabia, Gulf States Over Europe</h2>
Along with Trump, US CEOs have strong business ties with the region. They point to advances in AI, regulatory structures, and receptivity to US companies and investments.
Blackrock's Larry Fink, speaking at the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/2AD9PaVBiVw?si=fNc2KMSj0SJyp_Yw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saudi-US Investment Forum</a>&nbsp;yesterday in Riyadh, pointed to "huge opportunities" in the Kingdom. Citi's CEO Jane Fraser said that Saudi Arabia has developed non-oil ecosystems that are "opening up so many opportunities."
The EU, in contrast, has curbed market access of US tech companies through its digital regulations. The EU is investigating US tech giants like Meta, TikTok, and X for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/sd-urges-eu-tech-chief-to-wrap-up-content-probes-into-us-big-tech/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">potential breaches&nbsp;</a>of its laws. In April, Brussels fined Apple Inc. (AAPL) €500 million.
"The receptivity is on the back of people…who, quite frankly, believe in their future," Karp said yesterday. "Obviously, the great contradiction here is Europe, where you know it&#8217;s like people have given up."

<h3>Unmasking the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however an insider transaction can be an important factor in the investing decision. 
Exploring the legal landscape, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Highlighted by a company insider's new purchase, there's a positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
But, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Transaction Codes To Focus On</h3>
Taking a closer look at transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, meticulously cataloged in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C denotes the conversion of an option, and transaction code A signifies a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

In the context of legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as outlined by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are obligated to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Despite insider sells not always signaling a bearish sentiment, they can be driven by various factors.
<h3>Understanding Crucial Transaction Codes</h3>
When dissecting transactions, the focal point for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> is often those occurring in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Important</h3>
Considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.

Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down.
