RENK – The armaments hype is waning. First Phosphate and Volkswagen are taking advantage of the upswing in electromobility!
The demand for armaments stocks is waning. Despite record orders for tank transmissions from the RENK Group and global security investments, the defense boom is flattening out - partly because these stocks have become fundamentally expensive. At the same time, electromobility is gathering pace: The EU predicts a 38% increase in the number of electric vehicles registered in 2025, driven by Germany's planned tax breaks and subsidies for hybrids. This surge requires raw materials to produce lithium iron phosphate batteries, which is where First Phosphate comes into play. Meanwhile, Volkswagen is currently exploring the production of military vehicles, but is also pushing into the market with new electric vehicles and charging systems. Investments for the future should flow into green technologies, not tank production.

BYD in the fast lane! The gold rally is boosting Benton Resources and Barrick Gold
Inflation is driving the markets, and debt mountains are growing – yet amidst the chaos, two commodities are shining: gold as a safe haven and copper, the secret driver of the energy transition. With the best conductivity after silver, copper is indispensable for e-vehicles, power grids, electricity storage, and renewable energies. While gold is chasing new records, the future of electrification is being decided on the copper front. Three companies are currently in the spotlight. BYD, a pioneer in electromobility; Benton Resources, a promising copper and gold explorer; and Barrick Gold, one of the largest gold producers, a beneficiary of the precious metal rally. Where does the greatest potential lie?

Volkswagen, European Lithium, BYD – Lithium as a winner in the crisis: Why analysts are predicting a rally despite the chaos
The global energy transition is catapulting lithium into the spotlight. As an indispensable raw material for batteries, the electrification of mobility and energy infrastructure has fueled demand enormously. But after the hype, prices plunged from record highs to below USD 10,000. Now, there are increasing signs of a trend reversal: Production cutbacks, a predicted demand explosion of around 20% this year, strategic investments by large corporations, and technological leaps in extraction could curb the oversupply. Is lithium on the verge of returning as the scarce "white gold"? The stage seems to be set for a revaluation of the market.

Barrick Gold, Golden Cariboo Resources, Deutz – Seeking a safe haven? Gold shines, Weapons boom!
In turbulent times, investors flee to safe havens – but in addition to gold, defense stocks are now taking center stage. The price of gold is climbing to record levels in the face of geopolitical crises, trade conflicts, and a weakening US dollar, supported by demand from emerging markets such as China and India. At the same time, defense companies are booming: military spending is rising globally, NATO commitments are fueling the market, and complex supply chains are exacerbating scarcity. Companies like Rheinmetall are shining with record share prices and competing with gold as a crisis investment. A new era of hedging is dawning, in which both precious metals and weapons technology are becoming symbols of risk-averse capital.

SAP, MiMedia, Alibaba – Why Cloud Services are the Gold mines of the Future
Microsoft once again set a milestone in the second quarter of 2025 with a turnover of USD 69.6 billion. Driven by cloud services, which increased by 21%, and artificial intelligence (AI), which grew by 175%, the tech giant exceeded analysts' expectations. Azure and cloud services alone grew by 31%, while the AI business generated USD 13 billion. But the race has only just begun: Microsoft plans to spend USD 80 billion on AI data centers, which is just a fraction of the global investments that are expected to catapult the cloud market to USD 2.4 trillion by 2030. Who is footing the bill for the hunger for AI? And who stands to benefit most? The answers lie in the cloud.

Bayer, Vidac Pharma, BioNTech – Making money with biotech and pharmaceutical innovations
More and more investors are betting on companies that are leaving traditional therapeutic paths to rethink cancer, chronic inflammation, or nutritional issues.

Nel ASA, First Hydrogen, Volkswagen – The EU and Germany are pumping billions into hydrogen – who is cashing in?
As the global search for alternatives to oil and gas gathers pace, hydrogen could become the secret star of the energy transition. Green hydrogen could become a game changer not only for factories but also in the transport sector. The EU has now launched a multi-billion funding program – in Austria alone, 112,000 tons of green hydrogen are to be produced with it, and in Lithuania, 13,000 tons. One thing is clear: from 2027, it will be noticeably more expensive at the gas station. Experts expect price jumps of between 38 cents and 1 euro per liter. Suddenly, many are looking again more closely at emission-free drives. Innovative companies are driving this technology forward and positioning themselves as pioneers of an emission-free era. Opportunities are opening up for investors. Those who invest in hydrogen players early on could benefit from the upheaval in the energy and automotive industries. But which companies are setting the trends?
