Who benefits from the customs agreement? Volkswagen, BASF, and Globex Mining
Is the customs agreement between the US and the EU a warning shot, as German Economics Minister Katherina Reiche says, or will the tariffs strike German industry at its core? The public debate about the customs deal, which includes 15% tariffs on EU goods, is in full swing. We examine the risks using the example of industrial giants Volkswagen and BASF and show that the agreement also has clear winners – Globex Mining's business model is ideally suited to the uncertain situation and could soon bring investors substantial returns.

Gold and silver rally in 2025 – Panic buying ahead! Silver North, BYD, and VW in the fast lane!
Silver has long since ceased to be gold's little brother! Over the past 12 months, silver has clearly outperformed its big brother, rising 38% compared to a 27% increase in gold. This is due to several factors. Firstly, there are only around 240 active silver mines worldwide, compared to 1,350 gold mines. In recent years, silver has established itself as an industrial metal, as it is in high demand in high-tech, e-mobility, defense, and medical applications. This means that less and less of the coveted metal is left for the investment market, and physical stocks on the futures markets are also declining steadily. The time has therefore come to allocate some of your portfolio to silver, the little brother of gold, which has performed well. Silver explorers and developers offer the greatest leverage. Here are a few ideas.

The end of combustion engines? Why Volkswagen, dynaCERT, and Daimler Truck are still cashing in on cleantech
The mobility industry is undergoing a significant upheaval. Stricter CO2 limits are forcing automotive giants and, above all, the transportation industry to undergo a radical transformation. Transportation accounts for approximately 25% of the world's total emissions. The EU is pushing ahead with strict decarbonization targets. By 2030, new vehicles and trucks will have to emit 55% less CO2. Companies are running out of time. Innovations must pay off, or they are out of the game. Volkswagen is revolutionizing fleet emissions by pushing ahead with electromobility, dynaCERT is optimizing existing diesel engines, and Daimler Truck is driving sustainable logistics forward with electric and hydrogen powertrains.

More than 100% price gain! Volkswagen, Standard Lithium, and BMW partner European Lithium! Comeback for EVs and lithium!
Lithium shares are staging a comeback - without much attention. Standard Lithium's share price has already more than doubled in the current year. The US-based company is delivering strong news. European Lithium has also performed well recently. And for good reason: not only is the Company developing a large project in Europe, but it also has access to rare earths in Greenland. Will this soon make it a partner of the EU in building up a strategic reserve? After all, Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes need more and more batteries. While BYD and Tesla are currently struggling, German manufacturers are celebrating a comeback in the electric vehicle market, at least in Europe.

Unbelievable but true! Bonus shares from BYD, VW restructuring, Antimony Resources and thyssenkrupp in focus
With each passing day of escalating geopolitical conflicts, one thing becomes clear: secure supply chains for industry and manufacturing are a thing of the past. The German and European industrial landscape, in particular, is feeling the effects of increasing sanctions, which are narrowing supply chains and, in some cases, drying them up completely. Capital markets are sensitive to such scarcity scenarios, with long-term interest rates rising and risk indicators skyrocketing. How are industrial companies responding to this environment, and is there any hope for a revival of global trade? These are all legitimate questions when following political developments on both sides of the Atlantic. What trends should investors keep an eye on?

Tariff chaos as a springboard: How Volkswagen, European Lithium, and BYD are securing future profits
The global automotive industry is in a quandary: New US punitive tariffs of up to 50% on imported vehicles threaten to sideline European manufacturers. Even though Donald Trump is giving Europe more time for negotiations, the tariffs are still on the table. These tariffs would result in a slump in exports and shrinking margins. But there is also an opportunity amid the chaos. Those who strengthen local supply chains, drive forward electric innovations, and cooperate strategically will dominate tomorrow's market. Therefore, we look at two major automakers, Volkswagen and BYD, and analyze European Lithium, which will become very important for European supply chains.

Here we go! Plug Power turns, rollout at dynaCERT, opportunities with Mutares, VW, and BYD?
Some say the volatility is unbearable, while traders shout: opportunities everywhere. The stock market is currently relentless. Those positioned poorly can quickly see double-digit losses, but on the upside, profits are once again within reach. The former high-tech favorites are taking off again. After a spectacular sell-off at Plug Power in April, there have been strong buybacks in recent days. dynaCERT is also going full steam ahead in sales. Mutares recently delivered rather disappointing figures, and BYD could become the world's most successful automotive company in 2025. We take a closer look.

BYD doubles profits, European Lithium unlocks Greenland's treasures – can Volkswagen still keep up?
The global automotive industry is in turmoil. While the US is trying to seal off the market with drastic tariffs, Europe is seeking to reduce its dependence on raw materials. Lithium – the "white gold" of e-mobility – is becoming the key to technological sovereignty. That is why 47 projects in 13 member states are being funded. But can European manufacturers break their dependence on China while trade conflicts tear supply chains apart? And who stands to gain when protectionism meets innovation? BYD aims to expand westward. European Lithium seeks to mine the raw material in Austria. Volkswagen is struggling with US tariffs and trying to maintain its market share in China. The Financial Times recently reported that Donald Trump wants to accommodate automakers on tariffs.

Germany Inc. as the last hope? Volkswagen, Bayer, Globex Mining
Germany's economy is facing its third consecutive year of contraction. The automotive industry is struggling with competition from China, and Bayer is grappling with past acquisitions, looming tariffs, and other challenges. Now, Bayer shareholders are even being asked to inject new capital. Is the German industry working with politicians to find long-term solutions? Not a chance! The days of Germany Inc. seem to be over. We look at how investors can seize opportunities in this complex situation.

Volkswagen, European Lithium, Xiaomi – Who benefits from the tariff hammer
With the surprising tariff exemptions for certain product groups like smartphones and computers, the US government provided some relief for the global financial markets over the weekend, which even pushed the German leading index DAX back towards the 21,000-point mark. However, the next shock could be on its way. As early as this week, Trump is expected to address the tariffs on semiconductors.
