Norway plans rare earths coup - but at what cost? Rheinmetall, Mercedes-Benz, Defense Metals

  • Mining
  • Tungsten
  • RareEarths
  • armaments

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.

Manuka Resources, BYD, Rheinmetall - Hot commodity rally on the stock market

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • Electromobility

Manuka Resources expands mining projects in New South Wales following the acquisition of Trans-Tasman Resources. The strategic plan calls for increased gold production at Mt. Boppy Gold Mine. Carmakers struggle for profitability in China, while BYD posts a net profit of USD 2.5 billion. President Xi Jinping is promoting battery-powered vehicles with incentives for consumers. Warren Buffett reduces his BYD shareholding. Rheinmetall wins the order to supply 14 Leopard 2A4 main battle tanks to Ukraine. The order is financed by the Dutch and Danish governments. Delivery of the first vehicle is scheduled for January 2024. Rheinmetall has already delivered Marder infantry fighting vehicles and received another order.

Best conditions for a summer rally - Defence Therapeutics, SMA Solar, Rheinmetall

  • Biotechnology

  • Energy

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

  • Rare Earth Elements
  • Electromobility
  • rheinmetall
  • volkswagen
  • defense

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

  • Mining
  • Uranium
  • Software

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?

Almonty Industries, Palantir, Rheinmetall - Stocks soar on innovative technologies

  • Mining
  • Tungsten
  • Technology
  • Software
  • AI

The demand for AI is unbroken in the economy. Clothing giant C&A, for example, has now chosen none other than Palantir to optimize its digital sales processes. Rheinmetall, too, seems to be taking unfamiliar paths. The armaments group is increasingly focusing on electromobility and is helping the German city of Cologne to get smart e-charging curbs. The increasing technologization of various industries is increasing the demand for a valuable metal: tungsten. The Canadian company Almonty Industries specializes in the precious raw material. It is now using its successfully piloted mining technology in Europe to get to tungsten production even faster.

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.

Tocvan Ventures, Palantir, Rheinmetall - Well equipped with gold, AI and defence

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • Silver
  • armaments
  • Technology

The US banking crisis continues to move in circles, this time in slow motion instead of at the record pace of 2008. Alternatives are needed to ensure that investors are well-equipped in these times. Precious metals like gold have always been an option. Tocvan Ventures, as an exploration company, offers a promising gold and silver project called Pilar in Mexico. The launch of Palantir's first AI platform, which is located in the defence sector, also sounds promising. In view of the profit forecast, the share price jumped by a whopping 22%. Significant price gains are also to be expected at Rheinmetall. An undisclosed major order will keep the cash registers ringing for the arms giant on the Rhine, even in times of peace.

Strongly growing demand - Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Nio

  • Mining
  • Tungsten
  • Electromobility
  • Defense

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

  • Mining
  • RareEarths

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.
