Rheinmetall, Viva Gold, Palantir - Unstoppable
Remember the stock market adage, "Sell in May and go away"? Those who would have said goodbye to the stock market this year would have missed out on a lot. Driven by AI hype, the Nasdaq technology exchange alone rose by almost 25%, while the S&P 500 climbed by around 13%. The crypto and precious metals markets also ended their winter hibernation and are on the verge of striking buy signals.

This news drives share prices - Nordex, Globex Mining, Rheinmetall
There is continued growth in sales figures for electric vehicle manufacturers and an increasing order backlog for renewable energy and defense industry companies. Several companies have recently surprised positively, which should have a long-term impact on the previously weakened stock prices. Due to the growing demand for critical raw materials, the mining companies concerned should also be able to achieve new highs.

Norway plans rare earths coup - but at what cost? Rheinmetall, Mercedes-Benz, Defense Metals
Tanks are rolling through Europe once again. Since February 24, 2022, the Ukraine war has kept the world on edge. But even on Germany's roads, vehicles weighing several tons are rolling around in the form of SUVs. While in China, a 700 kg city runabout is winning the hearts of customers, in Germany, even the lower middle class like to show off. Today we look at what this means for the hunger for critical raw materials, why Norway now wants to mine rare earths at the bottom of the sea, and what promising land alternatives exist.

Best conditions for a summer rally - Defence Therapeutics, SMA Solar, Rheinmetall
The German stock market reflects the current weather situation - bright to cloudy, with occasional dark clouds moving in, bringing thunderstorms and heavy rain. In the past few days, lightning struck companies such as Helma Eigenheimbau, Siemens Energy and Lanxess, which was reflected in price losses of well over 10%. Other companies were spared from the storm front and should continue to enjoy their place in the sun due to the positive news.

Volkswagen, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall - Dependence on China
Without rare earths, the energy transition fails. There would be neither electric cars nor wind turbines without the critical raw material, which has long been on the list of critical metals in Europe and the USA. But these applications are only the tip of the iceberg because this metal is also needed in the defense industry, smartphones, MRIs and many other high-tech devices. China processes the mined rare earths and has a near monopoly. Now that demand is increasing due to the energy transition and the BRICS countries are slowly breaking away from the US, alternatives should be sought. Today, we look at three companies that cannot do without rare earths.

Despite the heat pump - uranium is in demand as never before! Rheinmetall, GoviEx Uranium, Palantir, C3.ai
Like a prayer wheel, green political ideas are raining down on the German industrial landscape - no more nuclear energy, but instead coal and gas. Historically high energy prices are to be accepted, even though wholesale prices are already below pre-war levels again and the energy mix is supposedly fed by more than 50% renewable energy. Because no one knows what the future holds for all this, major investment decisions by industry are now going against Germany. VW is investing EUR 10 billion in Spain, and BASF is doing the same in China. Valuable jobs that will no longer exist in Germany in the foreseeable future. What should investors keep an eye on to create at least sunny prospects in their portfolios?

Newmont, Tocvan Ventures, Rheinmetall - The lights are green
With a weaker-than-expected fall in inflation worldwide, plus a war in Ukraine that continues to escalate, the general conditions point to a long-term rise in the gold price above its all-time high reached weeks ago. With a threatened default in the United States, another argument for a gold bull market could now be added. Be prepared.

Strongly growing demand - Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Nio
The turn of the times and the resulting increase in military demand continue to fill the order books of defence companies worldwide. This trend will likely continue well beyond the current year due to the strategy of politicians enforcing peace with heavy weapons. Another boom that has just begun is the transformation of the transportation sector. Meeting the demand requires a significantly higher need for critical raw materials. However, the production facilities are primarily in Chinese hands. To maintain supply chains, alternatives in the Western world are fundamental.

ThyssenKrupp, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall - US subsidizes rare earths
Rare earths have long been on the list of critical metals in the US and Europe. As tensions build between the US and China over Taiwan, it is important to remember how critical rare earths are. Currently, China has a virtual monopoly, especially in terms of refining. In addition to high-tech products such as smartphones, the critical raw material is needed for steel alloys, in the military and above all, for the energy transition, including electric vehicles. The US now wants to promote the mining of rare earths in its own country and rewards this with a tax credit of up to USD 30 per kg. We, therefore, look at 3 companies that rely on rare earths.

With the shutdown of nuclear power plants comes the end of nuclear power! Siemens Energy, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall, E.ON - Greentech stocks on the rise
Now it is done. The German government is implementing the decision from 2011 with a slight delay due to the crisis and is taking the last three remaining nuclear power plants off the grid. Those who expected a blackout were proven wrong, at least over the weekend. Federal Economics Minister Habeck predicts a complete CO2 renewal for Germany and believes that Germany as an industrial location does not need nuclear power to be profitable. He also believes that electricity prices will fall again in the long run. The primary utility E.ON, however, did not hesitate to combine the nuclear phase-out with a hefty increase in electricity prices by about 45%. After all, what is currently easier to sell to end consumers than an imposed price squeeze that they no longer want to carry on their own books? Politically highly questionable, but a good opportunity for Greentech shares.
