Caution advised with Nordex and Plug Power! Momentum stock Globex Mining continues to rise!
The stock of Globex Mining is currently very momentum-driven. With its gold projects, the mining incubator is one of the winners of the Trump presidency. Additionally, there is more positive news from its risk-diversified resource portfolio. The chart also looks positive. The stock is marching towards its all-time high and remains attractively priced. In contrast, there has been a shock at Nordex! In his inaugural speech, the new US president has already put pressure on the wind energy sector, which he despises. If it were up to him, all wind projects in the US would be stopped! Furthermore, news from the industry adds to the strain. Plug Power is also among the Trump losers. At least the outgoing US president left a farewell gift worth billions. What is next for these shares?

BASF, Globex Mining, BP – Industrial giants in transition: Billion-dollar lawsuits, the lithium boom, and the turbulence of the energy transition
The global raw materials and energy industry is undergoing a profound transformation: established oil companies like BP are struggling with profit warnings and feeling the pain of the transformation that the energy transition and changing demand are forcing upon them. The goal is to include more renewable energy sources in the portfolio. The existing shareholders are not particularly enthusiastic about this. Meanwhile, the increasing demand for electric mobility is opening up new opportunities in the raw materials sector – the Canadian company Globex Mining is scoring points here with a clever business model and promising lithium discoveries. Investors benefit from the mining company's numerous properties and extensive raw materials portfolio. In contrast, BASF has filed a lawsuit against competitors in the amount of EUR 1.4 billion at the Munich District Court. Four companies are said to have made unfair price agreements; BASF wants fair competition. Read more about the strategies of the three global players.

Nordex, XXIX Metal, D-Wave Quantum – Demand is driving prices
The decarbonization of the energy industry and the accelerated expansion of data centres for calculating artificial intelligence are creating a steadily increasing demand for energy sources that are as clean and efficient as possible. In addition to the ramp-up of solar energy, wind power plays a major role. The energy transition is leading to an enormous increase in the demand for copper. Forecasts assume that the demand for copper could increase by around 50–70% by 2030. By contrast, the past decade has seen a failure to meet rising demand by developing new projects. As a result, the few copper producers are likely to benefit from rising prices in the long term.

Super Rally 2025: Artificial intelligence, crypto and the hunger for energy! TOP performance with MicroStrategy, XXIX Metal, BYD and Mercedes
The sudden cancellation of the government environmental bonus for e-vehicles at the end of 2023 has led to a significant drop in the number of electric vehicles being registered. However, interest in electric vehicles remains, albeit constrained, partly due to the high prices of many electric models. New government measures are expected to boost electric mobility again starting in 2025, with potential incentives of up to EUR 3,600 – though the implementation will likely only happen after the elections. What is being treated as an election promise for Germany has become the norm for the rest of the world. The increasing demand for energy driven by the electrification of various sectors, from high-tech and artificial intelligence to the crypto arena, which is even now being considered as a "reserve currency," highlights how quickly the world is changing in this disruptive environment. However, what all economic and political trends have in common is the need for access to strategic metals, especially copper! Where are the opportunities for investors?

Renk electric tanks with Rheinmetall? Buy Nordex shares? XXIX Metal profits!
Is electric mobility coming to the battlefield soon? This is likely to be only a matter of time. For example, Renk is already working on hybrid models that are expected to offer clear advantages in the field and could also be used to electrify Rheinmetall tanks in the future. In addition, the new transmissions pave the way for autonomous driving tanks. Electric vehicles are driving the demand for copper just as much as artificial intelligence and renewable energies. XXIX Metal is benefiting from this. The Company emerged from a merger this year and has become a leading player. The copper content of the projects, which already exists, is convincing. And what is Nordex doing? The wind turbine manufacturer has reported a new order. The stock has remained relatively stable throughout 2024. Analysts see upside potential, but there are also risks.

Volkswagen, Globex Mining, Novo Nordisk – Here are the opportunities for the coming year
The vbw commodity price index recorded a remarkable increase of 4.4% in October 2024 compared to the previous month – an increase of 18.4% year-on-year. On the one hand, this is surprising, as the economy has reportedly noticeably slowed down. On the other hand, geopolitical tensions seem to be causing overcompensation. Raw materials are the engine of the economy, and it is not for nothing that the price of copper is considered a leading indicator of economic activity. In times of export restrictions, it is clear how dependent the world is on China and Russia. Without the crucial raw materials, production comes to a halt. We take a look at three companies and assess whether they are well-positioned in the raw materials sector for the upcoming year.

Barrick Gold, Thunder Gold, MicroStrategy – Precious metals and digital assets as an investment in uncertain times
In a world that feels increasingly uncertain with each passing day, gold is becoming increasingly important. The times of high interest rates are over, and with central banks even considering interest rate cuts again, many investors are turning to the shiny metal. Why? While gold does not pay interest, when the alternatives do not offer decent returns either, it suddenly becomes quite interesting.
Geopolitical crises, which seem never-ending, also play a significant role. The war in Ukraine, tensions in the Middle East – issues like these are once again making gold a hotly sought-after safe haven. Central banks, which have bought a record amount of gold in recent years, are also helping to keep the price stable. Not to mention the still tangible inflation and economic risks.
In any case, the experts agree: the current consolidation in the gold price – that is, this minor setback – is likely to be only a breather. In the long term, the trend is clearly pointing upwards. And while gold continues to have its fans, many investors are also increasingly looking towards Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which are also considered a hedge in the current climate.

Mercedes-Benz, XXIX Metal, D-Wave Quantum - Copper shortage: Is a bottleneck looming due to new technologies?
Copper is an elementary industrial raw material whose importance is steadily increasing due to technological innovations and global megatrends. In particular, the rapid expansion of electromobility, the development of quantum computers, and artificial intelligence are driving demand to new heights. Electric vehicles require many times more copper than conventional vehicles with combustion engines due to batteries, engines and charging infrastructure. At the same time, demand is increasing in data centres and networks that rely on high-performance cables and cooling systems. Experts predict that global copper demand will increase by millions of tonnes by 2030 – and with it, new challenges for production and supply.

Watch out for Renk! TUI and Globex Mining share strong!
The Globex Mining share has performed positively in recent weeks. By investing in the mining incubator, investors can benefit from the commodities boom with a diversified risk profile. Chart-wise, there is upside potential, and the share buyback provides downside protection. In contrast, things are not looking good for Renk. The stock is performing significantly worse than Rheinmetall and Hensoldt. Now, analysts are also slashing their price targets. On the other hand, things are going well for TUI. The latest figures have convinced analysts. However, the first clouds are on the horizon. Is the travel boom waning? Analysts are divided.

Copper shortage, Crypto, and a hunger for energy! What is in store for Super Micro Computer, MicroStrategy, SAP and XXIX Metal Corp. in 2025?
Sharp increases in energy commodities are hindering electrification projects. Copper is indispensable for these initiatives and will become one of the key resources driving innovation in the coming years. Without the red metal, electric motors cannot be built and huge amounts of electricity cannot be transported over land. Copper is also a critical component in designing a completely new energy infrastructure. Trends such as Web 3.0, high-performance computing, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence are further exacerbating the energy shortage. Significant demand increases are expected in China and India, whose resource hunger impacts the entire planet. The race against time is already in its third round; new copper deposits must be developed urgently! Which stocks are at the forefront?
