The old saying that crises create the greatest opportunities appears to be playing out once again in the commodity markets of 2026. While the global economy continues to struggle for stability, sharp moves in the prices of gold, oil, and other raw materials are highlighting growing uncertainty for investors. In the commodities sector, China has often established a kind of monopoly. As a result, Western governments and companies are increasingly seeking alternative sources of strategically important raw materials. Green steel, vanadium batteries, electric mobility, wind power, defense systems, and next-generation energy infrastructure all depend on secure and reliable supplies. In this article, we take a closer look at thyssenkrupp as a major industrial consumer, alongside Strategic Resources and Energy Fuels, two companies positioned to benefit as suppliers of critical materials.

HOT AIR AND HARD FACTS: WHAT SETS SPACEX APART FROM ALMONTY AND THYSSENKRUPP

  • Tungsten
  • Space
  • hightech
  • Investments

USD 2 trillion for dreams of Mars? While SpaceX is valued on expectations of its long-term growth and ambitious space exploration plans, Almonty Industries supplies tungsten—and soon molybdenum—critical raw materials used in a wide range of high-performance industrial and aerospace applications. These metals are also important for manufacturers such as thyssenkrupp, the long-established industrial group from Essen that is currently undergoing a major transformation. This analysis compares one company valued largely on future expectations with two businesses positioned at the heart of real-world industrial supply chains.

  • GreenSteel
  • Electromobility
  • CriticalMetals

Many long-established industrial companies are facing intense pressure: their business models are undergoing structural change, supply chains are being reorganized, and international competition is increasing. European heavy industry, in particular, is at a turning point, as higher energy costs in Europe, especially in Germany, and stricter decarbonization requirements force companies to adapt their production processes. At the same time, Asian technology groups are pushing aggressively into global markets, often with fully vertically integrated structures and clear advantages in the race for raw materials. This is placing immense pressure on traditional European companies to restructure and innovate. We examine the overall situation and highlight potential opportunities for investors.

Value Creation Through Realignment: Why thyssenkrupp, Desert Gold, and Meta Are Now Fundamentally Attractive

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • Commodities
  • Africa
  • Steel
  • AI

The stock market is a barometer of change. Few things drive stock prices as much as a company's fundamental realignment—whether through radical operational changes or entry into promising technologies. For investors, these phases often open a window of opportunity in which the valuation does not yet fully reflect the company's actual potential. The trick lies in identifying those companies where the vision is already translating into a measurable path to value creation. We therefore take a closer look today at thyssenkrupp's divestiture plans, Desert Gold's transition from explorer to producer, and Meta's AI push.

The Steel Industry in Flux: How Strategic Resources Is Solving the Problems Facing Rio Tinto and thyssenkrupp

  • VTM
  • ironore
  • GreenSteel
  • CriticalMetals

High energy costs, a lack of pipelines, and a sluggish hydrogen ramp-up are slowing down the steel industry's "green" transformation. To replace traditional coal-fired blast furnaces with modern direct reduction plants, steel giants need iron ore with a minimum iron content of 67%. Since these high-purity, pelletizable deposits are few and far between, cutthroat competition is breaking out over stable supply chains. Western steel companies must optimize their supply sources to remain competitive. Pressure from regulators and the market is ever-present.

Panic in the Steel Sector - Geopolitical Dependencies Threaten Production: Strategic Resources, ArcelorMittal, and thyssenkrupp in Focus

  • decarbonization
  • Energy
  • CriticalMetals
  • VTM
  • iron
  • GreenSteel

Enormous regulatory pressure to decarbonize, escalating punitive tariffs, and a looming supply shortage of critical alloy metals are driving profound changes in the steel industry. The conversion of traditional blast furnaces to electric arc furnaces powered by electricity poses a challenge for corporations. The recycling of simple steel scrap can cause disruptive copper impurities to accumulate in the melt. The industry urgently requires massive quantities of high-purity pig iron for dilution to continue producing high-quality steel. However, since the supply chains for vanadium, a critical metal for the energy transition and alloys, are almost entirely controlled by autocratic states, Western companies are under pressure to act. Fortunately, the Canadian commodities company Strategic Resources is positioning itself as a supplier from multiple secure jurisdictions.

Billions for Hydrogen Steel: thyssenkrupp Needs the Raw Materials – Strategic Resources and Rio Tinto Aim to Supply Them

  • greenhydrogen
  • VTM
  • decarbonization

The steel industry accounts for about 7% of global CO₂ emissions. It must become climate-neutral by 2050—and the key is green hydrogen. But without high-purity iron ore pellets and alloying metals like vanadium, the technology remains ineffective. This is precisely where a long-established corporation suddenly becomes a customer. thyssenkrupp can only operate its multi-billion-euro hydrogen direct-reduction plant in Duisburg economically if reliable suppliers provide the necessary raw materials. Strategic Resources and Rio Tinto could play an important role in supplying the required raw material qualities.

The global economy is being shaken up by three major forces: the push for decarbonization, geopolitical tensions, and the race toward electromobility. For the steel industry in Europe, this means a tough transition—after all, it accounts for 7% of greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, the EU mandates that by 2030, one-tenth of strategic raw materials must come from domestic sources. Vehicle manufacturers, in turn, are grappling with Scope 3 emissions from their supply chains. Energy prices are skyrocketing, supply chains are breaking down—but that is precisely where opportunities lie. We take a look at the current situation at Group Eleven Resources, Volkswagen, and thyssenkrupp.

Decarbonization of Heavy Industry: Challenges for thyssenkrupp and BASF – CHAR Technologies as a Solution Provider

  • decarbonization
  • biochar
  • Sustainability
  • chemicals

Heavy industry faces technological hurdles in the race to meet climate targets. The full implementation of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) in January of this year is exacerbating the economic conditions. Decarbonizing the steel and chemical industries is proving complex, as these sectors require carbon not only as an energy source but also as an essential reducing agent and raw material. While European corporations like thyssenkrupp are focusing on hydrogen-based direct reduction plants, dependence on coke in existing blast furnaces persists. BASF is simultaneously advancing chemical recycling through pyrolysis oils, but faces scaling hurdles. This bottleneck brings the beginning of the recycling chain into focus: without the massive use of biochar as a substitute for metallurgical coal, the goals can hardly be achieved. CHAR Technologies is closing this supply gap with its high-temperature pyrolysis technology, has secured ArcelorMittal as an investor, and is positioning itself as a supplier to industry.
