Antimony Resources: Why a war in Iran could unleash the silent antimony crisis
The first 48 hours of a modern conflict consume billions and reveal a dangerous dependency. When fighting in Iran escalated at the end of February 2026, the Pentagon estimated ammunition costs of USD 5.6 billion for the first two days alone. More than 2,000 precision weapons struck over 5,000 targets. What is missing from this tally, however, is the question of what material the projectiles are made of. Behind every missile fired lies a silent but critical raw material: antimony. The semi-metal hardens lead bullets, ensures precision in primers, and enables thermal imaging technology in guidance systems. And this is exactly where the real problem begins.

Nuclear power comeback in the EU! Solid returns with American Atomics, Amazon, and E.ON
Since the EU nuclear summit in Paris a few days ago, it has become clear that nuclear energy is once again socially acceptable in Europe. At the meeting, the European Commission described the former move away from nuclear power as a strategic mistake and launched a comprehensive offensive for small modular reactors (SMRs). According to the EU strategy, an SMR capacity of up to 53 GW is to be built up by 2050 in order to reduce the persistently high electricity prices and stop the impending exodus of industry. At the same time, a new factor is driving global electricity demand: artificial intelligence (AI). The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that the share of nuclear and renewable energy in the global electricity mix will rise to 50% by 2030. Tech giants such as Amazon increasingly want to satisfy the energy hunger of AI data centers themselves. E.ON is also likely to benefit from this historic strategic shift by operating stable grids. However, at the source of the new boom is the up-and-coming exploration company American Atomics, which is searching for urgently needed uranium and closing a strategic gap in the supply chain. We highlight where investors can find the most attractive opportunities.

OIL PRICE SHOCK drives these stocks - Nordex, Nel, and dividend gem RE Royalties
The importance of alternatives to oil and gas is once again becoming increasingly clear. RE Royalties is one of the companies benefiting from this trend. The company finances projects in the fields of solar, wind, hydropower, and energy storage. Thanks to its activities in the US, it also benefits directly from the growing energy demand of AI data centers. In addition, the stock attracts investors with a dividend yield of more than 9%. Nordex also plans to pay dividends in the future. The stock would normally be considered due for consolidation after its recent rally. However, a steady flow of new orders continues to support the share price. Nel shareholders are still far from receiving dividends. The latest results for Q4 2025 and the company's outlook have been disappointing. Are new catalysts in sight?

Sector rotation favors biotech and life sciences! BASF, MustGrow, Novo Nordisk, and BioNTech in focus
Surprises are currently widespread. Former Agriculture Minister Cem Özdemir will now lead the state parliament in Baden-Württemberg. The Green Party won over 30% of the vote in a landslide victory, putting issues such as environmental protection, social affairs, and, from Mr. Özdemir's time as minister, the agricultural industry back in the spotlight. With a human-centered approach and a focus on healthy nutrition, this means that established agricultural companies are increasingly being forced to reconcile productivity with sustainability. In this environment, MustGrow Biologics is positioning itself as a strategic technology provider whose achievements have already been validated by leading market players. An expanded sector view also includes the life sciences industry with the protagonists BASF, Novo Nordisk, and BioNTech - an exciting mix.

Solutions instead of energy crisis: The potential of CHAR Technologies, Linde, and DuPont
The German economy is under enormous pressure. After years of rising energy prices and an increasingly complicated supply of raw materials, the population and industry are gripped by fears of a creeping decline. Electricity prices for energy-intensive companies remain at a level that is significantly higher than in previous years. Industry experts have long warned of a permanent exodus of production capacities to cheaper regions such as the US, where electricity costs for industry last year were less than half those in the European Union. To ensure the survival of industry, new approaches are coming into focus. Solutions are needed that break the dependence on fossil fuel imports and make supply more flexible. Different approaches are being taken here: While Linde and DuPont prefer to partner with the big players, Canadian innovator CHAR Technologies is occupying the exciting niche of decentralized energy generation.

BYD's blade offensive, the raw materials frenzy at Power Metallic Mines, and the Volkswagen earthquake: Seize the opportunity now!
The new battleground of the global economy is hidden behind the inconspicuous casing of a battery. The race for electromobility has long since become more than just a battle for the best range. It is a bitter battle for strategic raw materials and technological supremacy that will determine the winners and losers of the next decade. While the hunger for copper, nickel, and lithium is forcing new mining projects, a wide variety of strategies are colliding in this arena. We take a look at the current situation at BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Volkswagen and analyze the opportunities and risks.

A new drone contender: The potential of NEO Battery Materials, DroneShield, and Amprius Technologies
Energy efficiency and defense capabilities are two sides of the same coin. This is especially true in the rapidly growing drone business, where powerful batteries are crucial. While global demand for batteries continues to rise sharply, according to McKinsey's analysis, the military sector is focusing on a highly specialized niche: maximizing energy density while eliminating dependence on Asian supply chains. The US National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2026 requires that batteries for the Department of Defense be subject to strict criteria in the future in order to end the influence of rival states. In this environment, Amprius Technologies sets the standard with its enormous energy density for long-range drones (UAS). But there is promising competition with its own advantages: NEO Battery Materials' NBMSiDE technology ensures that the batteries in demand can be manufactured independently of China. The technology, which has only been validated in field tests for a few weeks, is entering a market environment in which drone defense is more important than ever. Although the global market leader DroneShield, with its AI-powered defense solutions, is considered the obvious answer to the new threats, drones are increasingly being countered directly by other drones. In this constellation, NEO Battery Materials is coming into the focus of investors.

Iran, Israel, USA – Investors turn to gold! Buying opportunities for Desert Gold, Barrick Mining, TUI, and Lufthansa
The daily news is not easy to stomach. Wars, conflicts, and human tragedies – who still thinks about traveling at times like these? Or is now precisely the time when people want to switch off and escape for a while? For years, investors have had to live with geopolitical uncertainty. So far, however, this has had little impact on equities, as there are always sectors that receive particular attention in such environments. Gold and silver have weathered the inflation surges since the COVID-19 pandemic remarkably well, while the tourism sector has been more of a roller coaster ride with several loops along the way. But what has worked in recent years is now back on the agenda: buy when the cannons thunder! It may sound lacking in empathy, yet it has consistently increased the wealth of those who accept the world as it is. We once again take a look at gold and the travel sector and prepare for another turbulent ride.

Mining comeback in Europe: Solid returns with Group Eleven Resources, Boliden, and Glencore
The European raw materials landscape is undergoing a realignment. For decades, the industry relied on cheap imports from overseas. But those days of largely unchallenged globalization are coming to an end. In order to end dependence on uncertain supply chains and ensure the survival of the industry, the focus is shifting to domestic extraction of critical metals. The European Commission has defined clear goals with the Critical Raw Materials Act and the ambitious RESourceEU Action Plan: By 2030, 10% of the mining and 40% of the processing of critical metals should occur within the EU. In this environment, the European zinc and silver sector is making a comeback. While zinc has historically been in demand primarily in the construction industry, it is now indispensable for the corrosion protection of wind turbines. Silver is even becoming a critical industrial metal due to the tremendous boom in artificial intelligence (AI) and the construction of data centers. Ireland, in particular, is establishing itself as a raw materials region in this phase. The country has one of the world's most productive geological provinces for high-grade base metals and boasts excellent geoscientific data from the Tellus program. Established mining giants such as Boliden and Glencore are setting standards, while up-and-coming explorers such as Group Eleven Resources are shining with spectacular discoveries and offering investors extremely lucrative entry opportunities.
