For Industry, It Is a Matter of Survival: thyssenkrupp Under Pressure, BYD With Advantages - Can Strategic Resources Provide the Rescue?
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.

AI and M&A Frenzy in the Life Sciences Sector: Bayer, Vidac Pharma, Novo Nordisk, Evotec, and Eli Lilly
Yes, you read that correctly. Pharmaceutical companies are actively embracing artificial intelligence (AI) and, thanks to lower costs, better validation, and faster study setups, could emerge as winners of the new AI wave in the medium term. Many stocks in the life sciences sector had been overlooked by the market, but investors are now taking notice again. Eli Lilly is betting on AI and expanding its portfolio through targeted acquisitions, including the takeovers of sleep-wake specialist Centessa Pharmaceuticals and blood cancer specialist Ajax. At Evotec and Vidac Pharma, much of the focus is on cancer, while Novo Nordisk faces stiff competition from Eli Lilly's weight-loss drugs. Then came the welcome news regarding Bayer. The Supreme Court ruled that approximately 181,000 individual lawsuits alleging a lack of warning labels on packaging are no longer legally viable, as the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified the herbicide glyphosate as safe. Lots of good news, and plenty of opportunities for active investors - we provide a few insights.

Atlas Lithium, Rock Tech Lithium, Ganfeng Lithium: A Market in Flux
Lithium is emerging as a key strategic raw material for the next phase of electrification. The global expansion of electric vehicles, energy storage systems, data centers, and modern defense technology is expected to further drive demand in the coming years. At the same time, secure supply chains outside of China are increasingly coming into focus. Producers, project developers, and companies with innovative battery and storage technologies could all benefit disproportionately from this trend.

Boom, Thanks to the AI Loop: Broadcom, HPQ Silicon, and GitLab
Whether it is the AI revolution, quantum computing, or electric vehicles, the tech sector is booming worldwide—from the Nasdaq to the KOSPI. Keeping pace with this growth requires a massive expansion of infrastructure. Data centers and semiconductor manufacturing capacity are being built out at an unprecedented rate, while memory and chip equipment suppliers are ramping up production. Artificial intelligence is driving this process itself. This phenomenon is known as "recursive self-improvement." AI is currently becoming faster and more capable through three reinforcing mechanisms: it writes better code by building on previous generations of AI, it optimizes hardware—such as the design of next-generation AI chips from Nvidia or Broadcom—and it discovers more efficient circuit designs than human engineers could achieve on their own. The result is a powerful feedback loop that is also delivering major benefits to other industries. Today, we take a closer look at three technology companies that stand to benefit from this trend: Broadcom, HPQ Silicon, and GitLab. Without Broadcom, none of this would be possible.

Gold at USD 6,000! Analysts Turn Bullish! Lahontan Gold Stock Belongs in the Portfolio
Will the falling oil price fuel a new rally in gold? In recent weeks, inflation fears and the associated concerns about rising interest rates have been among the key headwinds for precious metals. With the expected easing of geopolitical tensions in the Iran conflict, this pressure is now diminishing. Lower energy prices could ease inflation expectations, thereby reducing the likelihood of further rate hikes. Gold has recently defended the USD 4,000 per ounce level and even briefly traded above USD 4,300 on Wednesday. Gold expert Markus Bußler remains bullish, a view that should also support renewed strength in gold equities. Lahontan Gold is in an exciting phase. The company is currently transitioning from explorer to producer—not just anywhere, but in one of the world's most attractive gold mining regions. While preparations for mine construction are underway, the company continues to report positive drill results.

Gold, Defense, Aerospace: Sector Rotation in Full Swing – SpaceX, OHB, Desert Gold, Rheinmetall, and TKMS
Stock markets remain surprisingly resilient as the end of June approaches, but the glossy surface is starting to fade in certain segments. The bull market in aerospace is losing steam, and in the defense sector, after many months of gains, profit-taking is now becoming noticeable. As a result, valuations are gradually re-aligning with fundamentals. For rational investors, market hype is difficult to reconcile with, but one thing remains clear: stocks that become excessively overvalued tend to correct sharply when expectations are pushed to extreme levels without sufficient justification. Just as with Elon Musk's inflated initial valuation, the exit bell has likely rung quite loudly for Rheinmetall as well. In the fall, analysts had been outbidding each other with price targets around EUR 2,200; now they are painfully backtracking. Price declines of 20% in just a few trading hours for the defence sector star, and a 30% drop from its peak for SpaceX. But there are other hot candidates worth a closer look. OHB is drawing attention following a significant capital increase, while TKMS has secured a major naval contract. These developments are actively reshaping market dynamics—we break down what it means in detail.

How to Benefit from the Grid Crisis: Nordex, RE Royalties, and Bloom Energy Are Capitalizing on Market Bottlenecks
The energy transition is no longer just about expanding megawatt capacity, but about managing the entire system architecture. While digitalization and industry will cause electricity demand to rise exponentially, grids are becoming the limiting factor and service contracts are driving returns. The markets are recognizing that the real value creation lies not in mere generation, but in resolving bottlenecks, financing existing plants, and ensuring a decentralized supply. We take a look at three companies active in these areas. Nordex secures long-term wind power revenues, RE Royalties finances green infrastructure through recurring revenue, and Bloom Energy supplies the decentralized power plants for the next stage of supply.

Hydrogen Is Gaining Ground in Emerging Markets - How the Transition Can Succeed: Trimble, Nel, dynaCERT
While the long-term goal of completely emission-free mobility remains, opinions on the path to achieving it vary widely. Especially in light of the sluggish economy and major challenges, more and more economies are turning to pragmatic solutions. Many technological and infrastructural hurdles can be circumvented in this way. Since the conversion of large commercial vehicle fleets to battery or fuel cell systems is likely to take decades for well-known reasons, transition technologies are gaining importance. We shed light on the market and introduce three promising players.

No copper, no AI! Freeport McMoran, Power Metallic Mines, and Lundin Mining in Focus
The whole world is focused on AI stocks like Nvidia, Broadcom, and Micron Technologies. Behind the scenes, however, demand for raw materials like copper is also growing massively. An AI data center requires enormous amounts of the red metal per megawatt of installed capacity—primarily for power distribution, grounding, and transformers. The demand for copper in AI-optimized data centers is estimated at 30 to 40 metric tonnes per megawatt. Added to this is network infrastructure, where, for example, Nvidia relies on a custom-designed copper cabling system for the internal cabling of its latest NVL72 server architecture. A single AI server rack contains kilometres of copper cabling, as copper offers lower latency and lower power consumption over very short distances compared to alternative materials. And behind the scenes, power grids must be upgraded and expanded. The CRU Group therefore forecasts that global copper demand from data centers and AI alone will rise from around 500,000 metric tonnes today to as much as 2 million metric tonnes annually by 2030. BHP expects global copper demand to increase by an additional 3.4 million metric tonnes by 2030. And this is where the problem comes in. Copper supply cannot grow that quickly, which is why copper prices are also rising steadily. Today, we are looking at the stocks of Freeport-McMoRan, Power Metallic Mines, and Lundin Mining.
