Key points

  • Sayona shares accelerate 10% to 29.7 cents 
  • With no news from the company, the benchmark index is surging ahead which is providing support for the Sayona share price 
  • Sayona shares are registering the biggest gains across the lithium sector 

The Sayona Mining Ltd (ASX: SYA) share price is charging ahead during mid-Wednesday afternoon despite no news from the company.

At the time of writing, the emerging lithium producer's shares are up 10% to 29.7 cents.

What's powering Sayona shares forward?

Following a rebound on the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) today, investors are bidding up the Sayona share price.

In contrast, the ASX 200 Index is up 0.84% to 7,172.3 points after strong gains were recorded on Wall Street overnight.

Although the last release from the company came in late April, Sayona shares were pounded last week.

Falling to a 6-week low of 22 cents, it appears investors believe the share price was trading at attractive levels.

It's worth noting that Sayona shares are significantly down their all-time high of 39 cents reached on 19 April.

Looking at its peers, Allkem Ltd (ASX: AKE) is up 2.24% and Liontown Resources Limited (ASX: LTR) is 3.53% higher.

Furthermore, fan favourite Lake Resources N.L. (ASX: LKE) is treading 3.08% above yesterday's close.

A catalyst as to which Sayona shares are storming much higher could be because of the large discount from where it was trading a few weeks ago.

Sayona share price snapshot

Since this time last year, the Sayona share price has soared by 840% in value.

Based on valuation grounds, Sayona Mining has a market capitalisation of roughly $1.83 billion.
