XXIX Metal, Apple, D-Wave - Three beneficiaries of the 500-billion-dollar AI revolution
At high speed, the US government announces the "Stargate" project - a historic USD 500 billion investment in the country's AI infrastructure. The strategic partnership between tech giants such as OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle will include the construction of 20 state-of-the-art data centres. Initial construction work in Texas has already begun. Tons of copper will be needed to build the infrastructure and data centres, which means golden times are dawning for copper exploration companies. On the one hand, demand for copper is increasing due to rapid technological advances, and on the other hand, analysts say that the price of copper could double this year. Microsoft and Nvidia emphasize the strategic importance of healthcare in the AI deal. This is precisely where Apple has an opportunity for the future. If they manage to make a breakthrough with the Apple Watch in the diabetes market, there is the potential for billions of dollars in profits. D-Wave, a quantum computer manufacturer, also seems to be on the fast track. The Silicon Valley company produces, among other things, energy-efficient AI computing solutions. Music to the ears of investors...

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.

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.

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?

PayPal, Prismo Metals, Rheinmetall – Strategic Decisions for the Future
Three companies are setting the course for further growth: PayPal is opening up a new business segment in the US and launching the "PayPal Ads" advertising network to use transaction data for retail media. This move could increase the Company's clout. Meanwhile, the demand for copper is rapidly picking up speed. Prismo Metals is therefore intensifying its exploration activities, particularly at the Palos Verdes project in Mexico, in order to benefit from the increasing demand. Rheinmetall has received an order from the US Army to develop unmanned ground vehicles for the S-MET program, strengthening the Company's position in autonomous military vehicles.

E-mobility, copper boom, and chemical crisis: Rheinmetall, Prismo Metals, and BASF showcase industry trends
Rheinmetall's share price has risen by 438.95% since the start of the Ukraine conflict. Now, the Company is looking far beyond the defense industry. From electric coolant pumps for hybrid vehicles to hydrogen recirculation blowers for fuel cells, Rheinmetall is positioning itself as a pioneer in key technologies for sustainable mobility. This demand is significantly impacting the need for copper. Here, Prismo Metals is positioning itself as a strategically ideal partner with projects in Mexico and the US. While BASF seeks to secure its competitiveness with these measures, this also raises questions about the future of the chemical industry in Europe and the impact of strict climate regulations on global corporations.

Alamos Gold, Prismo Metals, Hudbay Minerals - Gold breaks out, copper turns, act now!
After a brief pause, gold returned with a brilliant breakout and crossed the USD 2,500 per ounce mark for the first time. This new all-time high has generated a striking buy signal. The conditions, with further escalation in geopolitics, provide the best opportunities for continued price increases. Copper also sent out positive signals. Despite economic concerns, the industrial metal may have found a bottom after the correction of recent weeks.

thyssenkrupp, Globex Mining, Barrick Gold - Which share holds the most potential?
In the midst of a turbulent phase on the global markets, companies in the commodities sector are facing enormous challenges. Recent developments have increased volatility, as evidenced by the unexpectedly strong growth in China's commodity imports in July. Despite these positive signals, the market reaction has been subdued, partly due to negative indicators like the falling copper price. Copper serves as an early indicator of global economic strength. Investors eagerly await a potential rebound while market observers discuss the causes and future opportunities. Today, we will look at a steel, mining, and gold company to determine which one holds the most potential.
