Siemens Energy, European Lithium, BYD – Lithium: short-term pressure, long-term opportunities
Even though the lithium price is at rock bottom, many indicators are signalling a long-term recovery of the lithium market. Demand for lithium-ion batteries is being fueled by the increased use of electric vehicles and the expansion of renewable energies. At the same time, producers are already reacting with project delays and mine closures, which could create short-term supply bottlenecks. Given that the EU sources 79% of its lithium from China, a possible trade war should prompt the EU to seek alternatives. Analysts expect a stabilization by 2026 at the latest as the energy transition is progressing. Those who believe in the further electrification of the world should invest now, as the long-term prospects are promising.

Baidu, dynaCERT, BYD – Using the Trump hammer
After the Trump trades and the subsequent rally, is the Trump hammer coming next? After the stock markets reached historic highs in recent weeks, a sharp correction followed on Monday. The reason for this was the tariffs imposed by the US on Canada, Mexico, and China. The consolidation could continue to expand, given that the Buffett Indicator, which looks at the market capitalization of all US companies in relation to economic output, is at an all-time high. Nevertheless, there are undervalued value stocks that could escape the downtrend.

Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, BYD – Profiting from the trade war with critical raw materials
With Donald Trump's re-election as president and the announcement of tariffs specifically on Chinese goods, a trade war seems inevitable. In December, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced it would no longer supply tungsten and other rare minerals to the US. This was in response to the US restrictions on the sale of AI chips to China. Without critical raw materials such as gallium or tungsten, many high-tech products can no longer be produced. These materials are used in semiconductors, which are incorporated into nearly all electronics, cars, medical devices, and many other areas.

Rheinmetall, European Lithium, BYD – Drastic measures
The pressure from the former and current US president to increase defense spending among NATO partners remains high, which means that defense companies will likely face a revaluation. By contrast, subsidies for electric vehicles in the US are on the verge of being phased out. However, industry experts and analysts are convinced that the global trend towards electric mobility will remain unaffected. China remains the largest growth market for electric vehicles, with a share of 65% and 11 million vehicles sold, and the trend is rising. As a result, the demand for the basic raw material lithium is increasing.

First Phosphate, Volkswagen, BYD – The automotive industry is in a flurry again
Donald Trump is wasting no time. On the day of his swearing-in, he signed several decrees and explicitly mentioned higher tariffs in his inaugural address. The new External Revenue Service will be responsible for working out exactly what these will look like. Trump wants to close the loopholes, such as imports via Mexico, in order to protect and strengthen his own economy. This is a disaster for the European automotive industry in particular because, after the difficulties in China, there is a risk of further losses in the second-largest sales market. In addition, vehicle manufacturers need more powerful batteries in their electric vehicles. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are becoming more and more popular for this purpose. However, there is a bottleneck here as well. We take a closer look at the automotive market.

The stock market boom continues – Power Nickel, BYD, Bitcoin, and MicroStrategy are soaring, and thyssenkrupp is turning a corner!
The stock market started the new year at full speed. Chart analysts see the DAX reaching 21,500 points as early as January! Yesterday, the stock markets in the US were closed for Martin Luther King Day, but Donald Trump was sworn in again as the 47th President. Storm clouds are currently a rarity, and corrections have been limited to just a few hours. Investors have to keep pace with this speed to achieve returns. Stagnation or even setbacks are seen only in Germany's GDP, which has declined for the second consecutive year. However, this is no obstacle for higher stock market valuations. Here is a selection of stocks that continue to cause a stir!

D-Wave, European Lithium, BYD – Silicon Valley, the Alps, China: The tech axis of the future
The digital revolution is advancing in quantum leaps: the Silicon Valley company D-Wave is accelerating conventional computing processes by a factor of 2,000 with its groundbreaking quantum computing technology. Analysts predict that its share price will double this year. The Austrian company European Lithium is profiting from the unbroken demand for the same raw material. With its property in beautiful Carinthia, the exploration and mining company has the potential to take the lead among European lithium producers. Automaker BMW is already on board, having invested millions. Analysts predict a growth of 500% for European Lithium shares. In this phase of transformation, shifts in power are also becoming apparent: BYD, originally a battery manufacturer and now China's largest electric vehicle producer, plans to take over two German Volkswagen plants – a symbolic turning point in European industrial history. Where are the best opportunities for investors?

ARI Motors, Volkswagen, BYD – E-mobility between urban niche, China strategy, and ethical boundaries
Electromobility is changing the automotive industry at all levels – from agile small vans for city centre operations to vehicles used on the factory premises of large corporations: cost-efficient solutions are in demand. The German manufacturer ARI Motors is conquering the niche of inner-city deliveries and artisan businesses with its small and nimble electric vehicles. Meanwhile, the industry's big players are fighting for market share in China. Volkswagen is expanding its strategic partnership with Chinese EV pioneer Xpeng to develop new EV models for the Asian market and roll out a nationwide network of 20,000 fast-charging stations. Chinese automaker BYD, however, is making headlines in Brazil – not for its innovations but for a scandal involving questionable working conditions during the construction of a new factory.

Super Rally 2025: Artificial intelligence, crypto and the hunger for energy! TOP performance with MicroStrategy, XXIX Metal, BYD and Mercedes
The sudden cancellation of the government environmental bonus for e-vehicles at the end of 2023 has led to a significant drop in the number of electric vehicles being registered. However, interest in electric vehicles remains, albeit constrained, partly due to the high prices of many electric models. New government measures are expected to boost electric mobility again starting in 2025, with potential incentives of up to EUR 3,600 – though the implementation will likely only happen after the elections. What is being treated as an election promise for Germany has become the norm for the rest of the world. The increasing demand for energy driven by the electrification of various sectors, from high-tech and artificial intelligence to the crypto arena, which is even now being considered as a "reserve currency," highlights how quickly the world is changing in this disruptive environment. However, what all economic and political trends have in common is the need for access to strategic metals, especially copper! Where are the opportunities for investors?
