Defense out - Time to buy commodities! Hensoldt, Globex Mining, Barrick, Mutares, and Steyr
That is how quickly market darlings can fall out of favor. Just last week, Rheinmetall & Co. were hitting record highs, but as of Monday, the euphoria came to a sudden halt. Trump agreed with China on lower tariffs, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy will travel to Turkey on Thursday to sit down with Russia's aggressor, Vladimir Putin. At the moment, this is still hard to believe. For the capital markets, however, this means a shift: out of defense and into high-tech and automotive stocks, the biggest winners of recent hours. The whole thing could be seen as a healthy rotation, as the major indices are at record levels, while tech and automotive stocks have corrected significantly in recent weeks. Once again, the cards are being reshuffled. For Globex Mining, the setback is suitable for medium-term follow-up purchases.

No Trump frustration with 123fahrschule and Mutares, but caution is advised with defense stocks such as RENK, Hensoldt, and Steyr!
The daily news is driving stock market activity. After a rollercoaster ride caused by Trump, popular tech stocks such as the Magnificent 7 are now down a good 20%. In the case of Nvidia, the stock is now USD 50 below its peak. For many, this is an opportunity to finally take a breather and think about the rest of the stock market year. Small caps such as the successful 123fahrschule continue to work on their growth programs, and Mutares is making good progress with its investments. The hot defense stocks RENK and Hensoldt appear somewhat overpriced. Those who want to generate returns now must be very selective and invest in specialties. After gains of just under 10% per annum, global ETF savers will likely take a break from returns in 2025. In the meantime, flexible investors will come out on top. Here are a few ideas.

Gold in focus, Defense accelerates again – Agnico Eagle, Golden Cariboo, Hensoldt, and RENK in focus
The daily theatrics are hard to beat. US President Donald Trump is engaging in slapstick and snubbing long-standing trading partners. In his own country, he leaves no stone unturned in his efforts to counterbalance the nearly USD 36 trillion national debt through savings and additional revenues. This creates great uncertainty in the stock markets and causes economic institutes to calculate more precisely whether, instead of growth, a recession may be looming. But perhaps it is all just a test to force political partners to the table. However, the threat of inflation means that precious metals remain in focus. Unresolved geopolitical conflicts also continue to drive defense machinery forward. Here, a volume in the triple-digit billion range is expected, which will result in revenue in the coming years. The train is running at full steam!

Steyr, Hensoldt, Mutares, and thyssenkrupp sell, First Phosphate remains a gamechanger
The special fund of up to EUR 1 trillion has been approved. What seemed impossible before the election is now law. Federal President Steinmeier signed the amendment to the constitution at the weekend, thereby sealing the largest economic stimulus package in German economic history. Instead of celebrating, the DAX only rose briefly to 23,136 points, then the sell-off occurred according to the motto "Buy the Rumor, Sell the Fact". The hyped defense stocks could now suffer the same fate. A lot of imagination has been priced in here, but capacity expansion is proceeding slowly. Therefore, not all expectations will immediately translate into positive cash flows. A thorough analysis is needed!

250% Stock Rockets: Attention, it is taking off now with Nel ASA, naoo AG, Steyr, Mutares, and Hensoldt
The German economic stimulus package has been launched. The only thing missing is the approval of the Bundesrat, which is expected today. Public opinion is divided because the total of up to EUR 1 trillion in "special funds" is the largest debt incurred by the now 75-year-old federal government. The doubters see it as an enormous burden for future generations, while supporters emphasize that Germany has hardly invested in its future for many years and that the renewal backlog is now finally being addressed. This measure will increase the debt-to-GDP ratio by around 25%, while at the same time, the targeted measures in armaments, infrastructure, and climate protection will improve growth by around 0.2 to 0.3% annually with an increased state quota. The stock market celebrates, while the working population has to contribute around EUR 500 in interest annually as an additional tax burden. The election winners had promised significant tax relief. Where do the opportunities for investors lie?

TAKEOVER WAVE in ARMAMENTS and LITHIUM? Hensoldt, Standard Lithium, and BMW partner European Lithium
Is a takeover wave coming after the stock surge in the defense sector? Hensoldt's CEO has spoken out in favor of a consolidation of the industry in Europe. He plans to actively shape this process while also hiring thousands of new employees. At the same time, analysts advise selling Hensoldt shares. The share of European Lithium, on the other hand, is recommended for purchase. The Company is supporting BMW in its "Neue Klasse" and thus in the fight against competitors such as BYD. Trading has been suspended for days due to pending drilling results. There is also something going on at Standard Lithium in the US. Is the white gold on the verge of a comeback?

Tungsten in the crosshairs – Almonty Industries on the verge of a revaluation like Steyr Motors?
An explosive mix: Raw materials war, defense, and a strategic mine. The geopolitical tensions between China and the USA are intensifying – and an inconspicuous metal is coming into focus: tungsten. Without this critical raw material, there would be no tanks, high-performance ammunition, or high-tech products. But the problem? 90% of the world market is dominated by China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The West is dependent – and that is precisely what makes Almonty Industries Inc. (WKN: A1JSSD | ISIN: CA0203981034 | Ticker symbol: ALI) an explosive investment opportunity.
The Company is on the verge of bringing the Sangdong mine in South Korea, the largest tungsten mine outside China and Russia, into production. This is perfectly timed, as China has sanctioned the export of tungsten. The market is under pressure, the US and Europe are rearming – and Almonty could become the key player. Now comes another explosive piece of news: Almonty is working with the powerful US lobbying agency American Defense International, Inc., whose clients include SpaceX, SAP, and the defense contractor Kongsberg. This is a clear signal that Almonty Industries is strategically coming into Washington's focus.

Renk Group, Almonty Industries, Hensoldt – NATO calls for an arms race!
In a world where geopolitical fires are shaking the global security architecture, an industrial arms race is forming behind the scenes. While NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte this week once again emphasized the "urgent need" for accelerated arms production – from drones to satellites – European states are setting record sums in motion: Germany is loosening its debt brake for a EUR 500-billion special fund, and the EU is planning military loans of 150 billion. But who will benefit if Europe wants to reduce not only its defense budgets but also its dependence on US arms deliveries? Three companies are in the spotlight whose stocks have long been surfing in the wake of the arms race. Where is it worth getting in?

Attention: IPO fever, now it's really starting! Hensoldt, Power Metallic, Renk, and thyssenkrupp
Before the election and after the election. At the beginning of the year, there was still a fight over the debt brake, but with the US pulling out of Ukraine aid, it seems that anything goes. Last week, in addition to an ECB interest rate cut, an EUR 800 billion package for armaments and infrastructure was proposed. This caused the DAX 40 index to surge, especially defense and construction stocks, which gained an average of 30%. Hensoldt and thyssenkrupp even made a giant leap upwards. The new all-time high for the index is now 23,475 points. Could there be an IPO from Essen soon? The probability for TKMS is increasing. However, it remains to be seen whether the significant premiums are sustainable; on Friday, there were initial sell-offs. Our specialty title, Power Metallic (formerly Power Nickel), continued to rise. We are looking into the crystal ball.

Almonty Industries, Hensoldt, and Renk Group: Strategic moves for Europe's strength
Global tensions and dynamic US politics are driving Europe's security efforts. Companies like tungsten producer Almonty Industries and defense contractors such as Hensoldt and Renk Group are moving to the center of this geopolitical chess game. Almonty has a unique opportunity to break China's tungsten monopoly with its Sangdong mine in South Korea. This presents a glimmer of hope for companies like Rheinmetall, which require hundreds of tons of tungsten yearly to continue to meet the demand for armaments. The German radar technology company Hensoldt has already seen its share price rise by 20% since plans for a multi-billion-dollar defense fund were announced. Renk Group supplies the drives for Europe's rearmament: With a "Ba2" rating from Moody's, the transmission manufacturer benefits from the NATO boom and US expansion. Between geopolitical pressure, commodity risks, and political hurdles, peaceful coexistence is at stake. Who has a strategic advantage for the next move on the global playing field?
