Explosive atmosphere in the lithium triangle – Europe stands to benefit: Albemarle, European Lithium, Mercedes-Benz
Electric vehicles need lithium. However, it is not that easy to obtain. According to a report in Die Welt, two companies from China and Russia are currently encountering difficulties in Bolivia. The reason: indigenous peoples have launched a wave of protests and are doing everything they can to prevent lithium mining in the country. Germany had already failed with a similar initiative in Bolivia. The indigenous peoples along the border with Argentina see themselves as the sole and rightful owners of the "white gold." As a result, the "lithium triangle" between Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile, which is home to more than half of the world's lithium reserves, is increasingly becoming a no-go area for companies. We explain the alternatives available and who stands to benefit the most.

Western countries seek rare earth escape route: BYD, European Lithium, and Siemens Energy decoded
Our green future depends on tiny elements: neodymium, dysprosium, and others, which are irreplaceable for e-mobility and wind power. However, since China's export restrictions on rare earths in April 2025, prices have skyrocketed by up to 500%, and looming supply bottlenecks are shaking entire industries. Chinese automaker BYD should have no problems with supplies. European Lithium is a possible alternative for Western countries with its lithium and rare earth projects. At Siemens Energy, the wind power subsidiary Gamesa is particularly dependent on rare earths. We take a closer look at the three companies.

Gaza, Iran, Ukraine – Conflicts are driving up metal prices! Rheinmetall, European Lithium, Hensoldt, and RENK
The problem is getting bigger! Strategic metals are currently having a massive impact on the geopolitical balance of power, as they play a decisive role in determining the economic and military capabilities of countries. Conflicts such as those in Gaza, Ukraine, and, more recently, Iran are exacerbating shortages because long-standing trade relationships can be terminated overnight. The concentration of metal production in a few countries makes supply chains vulnerable to political influence. Export restrictions, embargoes or targeted shortages imposed by China or Russia can lead to bottlenecks in consumer countries and severely affect the economy. We describe the current situation and offer solutions for dynamic investors.

Alarm bells ringing for rare earths and record highs for hydrogen! Hensoldt, Plug Power, Mercedes, and BMW partner European Lithium
Rare earths are increasingly being used as a weapon in geopolitics. "The last remaining stocks will likely be used up within four to six weeks. Then parts of production will have to be shut down," warns Christian Grimmelt of the consulting firm Berylls by AlixPartners in Wirtschaftswoche. This could benefit European Lithium's stock. The Company not only aims to supply lithium to BMW but is also developing a rare earths project in Greenland. Is the defense industry also affected by the shortage of raw materials? Perhaps. For now, the FOMO rally is driving defense stocks to new all-time highs. But caution is advised: according to analysts, Hensoldt shares, for example, have a 30% downside risk. Plug Power, on the other hand, has had to cope with many setbacks in recent months. Its shares are at rock bottom. Could a milestone in its home market bring about a turnaround?

Tariff chaos as a springboard: How Volkswagen, European Lithium, and BYD are securing future profits
The global automotive industry is in a quandary: New US punitive tariffs of up to 50% on imported vehicles threaten to sideline European manufacturers. Even though Donald Trump is giving Europe more time for negotiations, the tariffs are still on the table. These tariffs would result in a slump in exports and shrinking margins. But there is also an opportunity amid the chaos. Those who strengthen local supply chains, drive forward electric innovations, and cooperate strategically will dominate tomorrow's market. Therefore, we look at two major automakers, Volkswagen and BYD, and analyze European Lithium, which will become very important for European supply chains.

100% buying frenzy at Palantir, investors look to D-Wave, European Lithium, and SMCI
First the sell-off, then a new high for the year. Investors can speculate about which of the recent erratic movements was the "right" one. A 20% correction in response to unresolved tariff claims was followed by a 30% rally to new highs of over 23,900 points on the DAX 40 index. The NASDAQ saw an even sharper correction, with tech stock Palantir halving in value before doubling again within four weeks. In between, Q1 figures were released that, in truth, merely met expectations. SMCI and D-Wave Quantum are now back in the spotlight due to their high beta. For those focusing on Greenland and strategic metals, European Lithium is worth a closer look. We help with the analysis.

Lithium Made in Europe: European Lithium, SQM, Stellantis, and the supply chains of the future
Electromobility is booming - but without lithium, there are no batteries, and without batteries, there is no mobility transition. While major corporations like SQM from Chile dominate the market, European Lithium is working to make Europe more independent. At the same time, manufacturers such as Stellantis are establishing local supply chains to decouple themselves from global supply risks. We outline the situation in the lithium market and take a European perspective.

BYD doubles profits, European Lithium unlocks Greenland's treasures – can Volkswagen still keep up?
The global automotive industry is in turmoil. While the US is trying to seal off the market with drastic tariffs, Europe is seeking to reduce its dependence on raw materials. Lithium – the "white gold" of e-mobility – is becoming the key to technological sovereignty. That is why 47 projects in 13 member states are being funded. But can European manufacturers break their dependence on China while trade conflicts tear supply chains apart? And who stands to gain when protectionism meets innovation? BYD aims to expand westward. European Lithium seeks to mine the raw material in Austria. Volkswagen is struggling with US tariffs and trying to maintain its market share in China. The Financial Times recently reported that Donald Trump wants to accommodate automakers on tariffs.

40% SHARE PRICE EXPLOSION! Commodity war drives Standard Lithium and BMW partner European Lithium! News from Evotec!
Price explosion at Standard Lithium! The share price rose by more than 40% yesterday. The joint venture with Norwegian energy company Equinor has been classified as a "critical mineral project" by the US government. This indicates that the raw materials war with China goes far beyond rare earths. European Lithium has lithium and rare earths to offer. The stock is a real bargain, as illustrated by the new details on the rare earth project in Greenland. Talks are already underway with defense companies from the US and Europe, and analysts see multiplication potential. Evotec shareholders had likely hoped for a somewhat bigger price explosion following the presentation of the new corporate strategy. However, the biotech company is bidding farewell to its strong growth trajectory.
