Defense Metals, Rheinmetall, Encavis - New technologies cannot do without this critical raw material
What do metal alloys, magnets, phosphors, ceramics, glass, catalysts and chemical processes need to function well? Rare earths - a critical raw material that is primarily processed in China. Without this raw material, there are no smartphones, computers, wind turbines or electric vehicles. There have been tensions between China and the United States for some time. If these tensions escalate and China stops its rare earth supplies, the Western world will have a problem. As demand for rare earths continues to rise, it is important to ensure sufficient supplies to meet the growing demands of the technology industry.

Rheinmetall, Defense Metals, Lynas - Time is running out!
Heavy weapons for peace. Tanks, submarines and fighter jets for Ukraine, whatever the cost. This scenario is the bitter reality right now and is being promoted across the board by Western politicians. It may not sound very understandable, but in order to guarantee peace, the world continues to arm itself. Companies in the armaments industry, now declared to be sustainable investment opportunities, are booming. With the seething conflict in Taiwan, tensions are again on the rise. With its raw materials, such as rare earth metals, China has the power to act. The West is frantically trying to reduce dependencies, which is impossible to achieve in the short term.

Auxico Resources, Rheinmetall, Rock Tech Lithium - Important news
Fears of a global recession are still pervasive, and commodity prices are at moderate levels after the sell-off of recent months. In contrast, the price of lithium remains high. The reason is the continued strong demand from the electric car industry. However, the existing supply of lithium resources is scarce. The primary beneficiaries of this shortage, in addition to existing producers, are exploration companies that have already secured attractive properties. A similar phenomenon is occurring now with the critical commodity of rare earth metals.

Rheinmetall, Globex Mining, Brenntag - Just before the breakout
The themes of the past year are likely to continue to dominate the markets in 2023. Despite excellent prospects, shares from the renewable energy and electromobility sectors corrected strongly and are currently trading at attractive long-term levels. Due to strong demand from this sector and the strengthening of the defense sector since the Ukraine conflict, commodity producers benefit in turn. In particular, companies from the Western world are likely to move closer into focus here.

Nio, Altech Advanced Materials, Rheinmetall - Still on trend
The prevailing themes from last year will continue to be in vogue in 2023. Due to the political strategy of achieving peace through heavy weapons, the order situation for defense companies should improve even further. In addition, electric carmakers should continue to top the sales figures from the fiscal year ending in 2022. In terms of the efficiency of the battery, which is essential for electromobility, several companies worldwide are fighting for the crown. One German company has two hot irons in the fire.

BYD, Auxico Resources, Hensoldt, Rheinmetall - Prepared for the future
Russia's invasion of Ukraine at the end of February this year changed everything. While global stock markets fell into a state of shock, shares in defense companies boomed. With the arms buildup in the Western world, the future looks bright for companies that were still viewed critically before the war of aggression. However, in order to produce enough tanks, aircraft and other war equipment, the industry needs a variety of critical metals for which demand already exceeds supply.

Rheinmetall, Defense Metals, Nordex - Top opportunities in critical commodities
A quick end to the Ukraine conflict is becoming increasingly remote due to recent events. NATO's military buildup is giving the global defense industry a boom that will likely lift company sales to a new level in the coming years. An important building block for implementing weapons systems is the use of rare earth metals. However, China has a monopoly on the critical raw material value chain, a country that is itself in the midst of an escalating conflict with Taiwan.

Nordex, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall - Critical situation
Due to geopolitical tensions and the ongoing trade war between the US and China, the supply of critical raw materials is on high alert. Especially for the energy transition and the achievement of climate targets, materials that mostly have to be exported from the largest Asian economy are needed. Now, with the Minerals Security Partnership, MSP, an alliance of Western countries has been founded to establish a complete value chain within the partner countries. As a result, mining, processing and recycling projects from Western countries will be the primary beneficiaries in the coming years.
