(Monday market close) Bullish investors picked up where they left off last week, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average® (DJI) to a fourth consecutive record high close as the market extended a holiday-season rally behind ongoing optimism that 2024 will bring lower interest rates and a potential "soft landing" for the economy.

Traditional oil and gas companies are venturing into lithium extraction in the US to capitalize on the growing demand for the metal and diversify their revenue streams, although legal uncertainties around lithium ownership in Texas could hinder the industry's expansion. ExxonMobil is using low-emission direct lithium extraction in the Smackover region of Arkansas to extract lithium from saltwater and convert it into battery-grade material, while Eureka Resources is experimenting with vacuum crystallization tech to extract pure lithium carbonate from oil and gas brine.
