Ammunition, Engines, Mines: Rheinmetall, Mercedes-Benz and Power Metallic Mines in the Raw Materials Race
The defence industry is booming, the automotive sector is electrifying—and both are competing for many of the same raw materials: copper, nickel, and platinum-group metals. Their production is often concentrated in politically sensitive regions such as Russia, while China controls a large share of global processing. The result: companies that fail to secure supplies in time risk production lines grinding to a halt. Rheinmetall needs these metals for ammunition and armoured vehicles, Mercedes-Benz needs them for batteries and electric motors, and Power Metallic Mines aims to supply them. We take a closer look at the potential upside for the shares of this trio.

AI, Robotics, Hydrogen and Copper: SanDisk, First Hydrogen, and Lundin Mining in Focus
The AI boom continues, driving major indices such as the S&P 500 toward new all-time highs. Chart analysts believe the 8,000-point mark could soon be within reach. But there is much more going on behind the scenes. Where robotics, AI, drones and energy converge, opportunities can emerge for prudent investors. However, it is important to bear in mind that volatility is currently extremely high, particularly among stocks closely tied to the AI theme. Nevertheless, today we take a closer look at the shares of SanDisk, First Hydrogen and Lundin Mining.

Almonty Industries, Freeport McMoRan, and Albemarle: Commodity Fever Rises Due to Structural Shortages
A major storm is brewing in the commodity markets. It is being driven by the transition to climate-neutral energy, extremely high demand for artificial intelligence and the computing power it requires, and global geopolitical conflicts. This wave does not appear to be a temporary flare-up, but rather the beginning of a long-term megatrend, as supply deficits continue to widen. While spikes in demand often provided the boost in previous commodity cycles, this time it is global supply chain risks and decades of underinvestment in the development of new commodity projects. Today, we take a closer look at tungsten producer Almonty Industries, copper producer Freeport McMoRan, and lithium producer Albemarle.

New Drones and Space Acrobatics? SpaceX, Power Metallic, Thales and Heidelberger Druck in Flight Mode
The global aerospace and defence industry is currently experiencing an unprecedented technological boom that is completely upending traditional market dynamics. From autonomous systems in the stratosphere to revolutionary launch vehicles in orbit, more and more industries are reaching for the stars. To survive in this fiercely competitive environment, established industry giants and visionary tech pioneers alike must forge new alliances and radically expand their core competencies. A look at current market trends impressively demonstrates that innovation today arises primarily from the synergy between radical high-tech development and high-precision industrial scaling. While NASDAQ newcomer SpaceX is pushing the boundaries of what is possible in space with spectacular feats, specialized players like the European Thales Group are driving the modernization of defence systems with advanced sensor and drone technologies. Heidelberger Druck is also showing surprisingly strong momentum as it successfully adapts its time-honoured precision engineering for the future drone production market. And then there are the indispensable critical metals: Power Metallic aims to join the North American supply chain soon. Exciting!

How to Profit from the Raw Materials Shortage: A Look at the Top Picks—Rio Tinto, Globex Mining and Glencore
A fierce battle is raging over raw materials. The green transition is not the only reason demand has skyrocketed. AI, specifically its data centers, and robotics are also driving demand even higher. Added to this are geopolitical dependencies and national supply concerns. The US is pushing for domestic production. China is buying up raw materials worldwide, and resource-rich countries like the Congo are imposing new export conditions. Those who run out of raw materials will lose their supply chains. We therefore take a closer look at Rio Tinto, Globex Mining, and Glencore today.

Standard Lithium Surges! Nordex Lands Major Order – Copper Rally and News Flow Drive Power Metallic Mines
Standard Lithium's share price has surged. Investors reacted positively to the update from the US lithium hopeful. According to the update, the company has met key prerequisites for the planned development of the South West Arkansas Project (SWA). Was the 20% rally in Power Metallic Mines just the beginning? The odds are good that it was. Analysts foresee significantly higher prices. Additionally, the copper rally is providing a boost, and important news is on the horizon. The high copper price should actually be causing problems for the wind energy industry. Yet there is currently no sign of that, as Nordex's latest major order demonstrates. The stock is currently taking a breather. Nevertheless, its year-to-date performance stands at over 25%.

German AI Winners technotrans and Deutz—Why the Hype Is at Risk, and the Role Power Metallic Mines Could Play
Data centers are experiencing a massive global boom, both in the United States and elsewhere around the world. However, the resulting waste heat and unexpected power-grid failures need to be managed. This is where specialized German equipment manufacturers are increasingly stepping in, supplying sophisticated cooling systems and backup power generators to customers even in the US. For Germany, this is very good news. But there is a major caveat: suppliers to the AI industry depend on critical raw materials. Without large quantities of copper, nickel, and platinum group metals, the expansion of AI and power grids will stall. In this article, we take a closer look at German companies positioned to benefit from the AI boom, as well as a potential Canadian raw-material supplier that could also score points through its focus on sustainability.

Copper Nears Record Highs: How Glencore, Power Metallic Mines, and Lundin Mining Could Benefit
Something unusual occurred in the financial markets last week. The US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan reportedly intervened in support of the Japanese yen and against the US dollar, reinforcing expectations that US policymakers are comfortable with a weaker dollar. This aligns with the Federal Reserve's recent decision to leave interest rates unchanged rather than raise them as many market participants had expected. A weak US dollar, however, is good for commodity prices. Gold and silver are already rising sharply. But the king of metals right now is copper, whose price is trading near an all-time high. Strong demand from the AI data center sector is meeting weak supply due to mine closures and lower ore grades at established operations. This combination could mark the beginning of a new uptrend for the copper market. Against this backdrop, it is worth taking a closer look at Glencore, Power Metallic Mines, and Lundin Mining.

Anglo American, Globex Mining, Lundin Mining: Commodity Giants Poised for the Next Surge
Despite the current market correction, copper, gold, and strategic metals are increasingly taking center stage in the global economy. Power grids, AI data centers, electric mobility, and defence are consuming enormous amounts of raw materials, while new mines are being developed only slowly. It is not just established producers that are benefiting from this. Broadly diversified companies are particularly attractive, as they can earn revenue from investments and royalties in numerous projects without having to finance every mine themselves.
