• greenhydrogen
• cleantech
• Electromobility

The future of artificial intelligence infrastructure and electric mobility will not be determined by software alone. Both megatrends are increasingly encountering physical limitations that require breakthroughs in materials science rather than in computing power. In the battery industry, conventional graphite anodes are emerging as a bottleneck for further improvements in energy density and charging performance. At the same time, the semiconductor industry is searching for the next generation of materials to enable faster, more efficient chip architectures as traditional scaling approaches reach their limits. The solution to both challenges lies in the same element: silicon. This is precisely where HPQ Silicon has positioned itself. The Canadian company is developing technologies that could play a key role in the production of high-purity silicon and advanced silicon-based materials, offering disruptive potential across multiple industries, from semiconductors to next-generation batteries.

DAX at 30,000—Unrealistic? Keep an Eye on DroneShield, Volatus Aerospace, Airbus, and Hensoldt

• Defense
• Drones
• hightech
• aerospace

It has been a long time since global equity markets experienced such a powerful and broad-based bull run. Investors have once again been reminded that geopolitical conflicts do not necessarily trigger prolonged market declines. Instead, they often reinforce expectations of higher defence spending, accelerated technological innovation, and additional government investment. At the same time, public debt continues to climb. Rather than being meaningfully reduced, maturing obligations are typically refinanced by issuing new debt. In the view of many market participants, this ongoing expansion of public borrowing continues to provide liquidity support for financial markets. This trend has persisted since the global financial crisis of 2008. Meanwhile, the influence of major technology entrepreneurs and capital allocators on politics and industry has become increasingly apparent. Figures such as Elon Musk play a far greater role in shaping industrial policy and technological development than would have seemed conceivable only a decade ago. Valuation, however, remains a growing concern. The cyclically adjusted Shiller P/E ratio for the S&P 500 has averaged roughly 17.4 over the long term. At around 39.5, it currently stands approximately 127% above that historical average. That places the market among the most richly valued periods in modern history, exceeded only by the peak of the dot-com bubble in 1999. Whether traditional valuation metrics remain fully applicable in today's AI-driven and highly liquid market environment has therefore become an increasingly debated question among investors.

Illegal gold outflows have cost Mali billions each year, but the new Malian Office of Precious Substances is ending that era. The agency centralizes precious-metals trading, collects overdue levies and has already recovered more than USD 1 billion. For investors, this shift means transparent rules, booming official exports and, above all, falling risk. That sends the margins of compliant producers surging. We analyze how Barrick Mining is proceeding, how Desert Gold is taking the decisive step toward producer status and how B2Gold is expanding its market position.

• chips
• semiconductor
• Commodities

Over the past two years, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) has staged a historic rally, gaining around 125% on balance. Driven by the massive boom in artificial intelligence, the index reached an all-time high of over 14,600 points in June 2026 before entering a sharper consolidation. This past week, the closely watched index left volatile trading at 12,626, with a hefty daily loss of 5.4%. Reports of looming overcapacity in AI data centers are putting pressure on the recently exploded share prices of industry heavyweights such as Micron, AMD and Applied Materials. The two German chip hopefuls Infineon and Aixtron were also hit hard. With the NISK project, Power Metallic Mines holds a promising polymetallic property in Québec focused on copper, nickel and platinum group metals. The correction in this stock is already complete, and for the past few days it has been climbing steeply again. A closer look is worthwhile!

It is not only drought that is putting pressure on farmers. Regulators are increasingly banning chemical active ingredients that have been used for decades in an effort to protect soils and consumers. Already, 168 countries have significantly restricted or completely banned the use of approximately 568 chemical pesticides. At the same time, the European Union aims to have at least 25% of its agricultural land farmed organically by 2030. As many highly effective products are being phased out, farmers around the world are facing growing challenges. The question of how to maintain crop yields under these changing conditions has become a key concern for industry. This trend is fueling the biopesticides market, which, according to current industry forecasts by Fortune Business Insights, is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.1%, reaching USD 40.61 billion by 2034.

The world continues to rearm, and at the same time the battle for strategic raw materials is intensifying. As governments raise their defence budgets to record levels, demand is also rising for critical metals indispensable to ammunition, air defence, semiconductors, artificial intelligence and modern energy technologies. At the same time, multi-billion-dollar investments in advanced weapons systems and the development of independent Western supply chains are creating a powerful long-term growth story. Those who invest early in companies from the defence and critical raw materials sectors could benefit from one of the strongest structural trends of the coming years.

Interest Rate Turning Point Ahead? SAP, Zefiro Methane, and Harmony Gold Could Benefit

• methane
• OrphanWells
• Gold
• Commodities

Things changed remarkably quickly. Even as fighting continued in the Persian Gulf, market commentators were competing to forecast how many times the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates this year. As a result, gold prices and many tech stocks came under pressure, while the US dollar strengthened. Last week, however, sentiment shifted dramatically. Kevin Warsh, the Federal Reserve Chair appointed by President Donald Trump, triggered the turnaround with clear comments. Accordingly, inflation remains too high. Gold and many tech stocks subsequently rallied. Since Friday, the market has been pricing in just one additional interest rate increase this year, according to Fed funds futures. With President Trump continuing to advocate lower interest rates, the second half of the year could instead see policy easing—the exact opposite of what markets had regarded as a near certainty only a short time ago. For investors, this changing interest-rate outlook could signal an increase in equity exposure. Against this backdrop, we take a closer look at SAP, Zefiro Methane, and Harmony Gold Mining Company.

Auto and Combustion-Engine Crisis Meets Nuclear Power: Volkswagen and BMW Under Pressure - American Atomics on the Verge of a Breakout?

• nuclear
• Uranium
• Electromobility
• Automotive
• Energy

Germany's automotive industry has reached yet another low point in its ongoing crisis. Thousands of jobs are at risk. The country has long since surrendered its technological leadership to the Chinese. Policymakers have already driven the final nail into the coffin, and the casket is practically halfway into the ground. Yet, as the saying goes, hope dies last. Perhaps Volkswagen, BMW, and Germany's other automakers can still turn the tide and stage something of a resurrection. Or the grave may simply be filled in, marking the beginning of a prolonged decline—or even a permanent one. Volkswagen and BMW continue to struggle with structural challenges, shrinking margins, and weakening international markets. Investors should increasingly reconsider where they allocate their capital. Traditional safe bets no longer offer the same reassurance, and attention is inevitably shifting toward entirely different sectors benefiting from strong political support. This is precisely where the US uranium industry could emerge as a major beneficiary, with smaller players such as American Atomics also seeking to position themselves to help meet the world's rapidly growing energy demand. It is a paradigm shift that undoubtedly carries significant risks—but also presents tangible opportunities.

Tungsten Emergency: Why Almonty Is Exceptionally Positioned - Sandvik and Lockheed Martin Under Pressure

• Tungsten
• Defense
• hightech
• CriticalMetals

Beijing's tightened export controls on critical raw materials such as tungsten show how heavily the West depends on established supply chains. China still controls around 80% of global tungsten production. In response to this threat, from January 1, 2027, the US will ban the import of tungsten from China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea for military purposes. This regulatory turning point and a surge in demand from the defense sector drove the world market price for ammonium paratungstate (APT) from historic lows in the low triple-digit range per metric tonne unit (MTU = 10 kg) to well over USD 3,000 per MTU. We take a closer look at the market and show how investors can profit from the tungsten emergency.

In, out, up, down! That is exactly what the current roller-coaster ride on the NASDAQ feels like. While in recent weeks it was the dream gains in chip stocks that drove investor excitement, this week German defense stocks sit atop the winners' list. The correction in the cloud providers is also slowly coming to an end, or at least SAP and ServiceNow are showing first signs of life at low levels. Deutsche Telekom has likewise been run over. Elon Musk plans to push into the telco world with his SpaceX Starlink division. That is providing industry with worry lines and weighing on the titans of mobile communications. And then there is Australia's Aspermont, an AI-driven data marketer and investor-services provider from the commodities sector. Completely transformed from a traditional publishing house into an aggressively growing partner to the mining industry. It is worth taking a closer look.

Forget Short-Term Hysteria—Win Long-Term with Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, and RTX

• Tungsten
• Defense

After a breathtaking rally, defense stocks have come under pressure. Hopes for peace, profit-taking and new competitors have driven prices into a recent correction. For short-term-minded investors, this may look threatening, yet the structural drivers – depleted arsenals, aging systems and Europe's push for military sovereignty – remain intact. The current markdowns resemble a technical breather rather than a break in the trend. It is precisely this discrepancy between short-term volatility and long-term necessity that opens an entry window for strategic investors. This is the moment to set your sights on companies with thick order books and systemic relevance. While Rheinmetall benefits from Europe's rearmament, Almonty Industries, as a tungsten supplier, secures critical raw materials for production, and the US group RTX delivers technological superiority in aviation, drones and cyber defense.

Crash? No Thanks: The Auto Sector Ahead of a Turnaround! 133% with BYD, VW, North Arrow Minerals and BMW

• Gold
• Africa
• Copper
• Electromobility
• Automotive

In recent months, hardly any other sector on the stock market has managed to become as unpopular as the automotive sector. Margin battles and restructurings, including mass layoffs, are making the rounds across Europe. This downward trend stems primarily from structural overcapacity and mistimed ramp-up of electromobility. Now the German kings of the combustion engine are facing the aggressive market entry of state-subsidized Chinese competitors. European manufacturers, in particular, are thus caught in a fatal pincer crisis of falling sales and rising investment costs. Analysts therefore predominantly rate the traditional business models of the OEMs as risky and are lowering their future expectations. Institutional investors are abruptly shifting their portfolios into less cyclical, higher-margin growth sectors. The result: the broad European auto index lost around 12% over the last 12 months, with individual manufacturers down as much as 17 to 37%. Is there still hope for the titans on 4 wheels?
