THE PENNY STOCK, THE BAKER, AND THE FLOUR SUPPLIER: HPQ SILICON, IBU-TEC, AND AMG CRITICAL MATERIALS ARE SHAKING UP THE BATTERY MARKET
China's dominance in batteries for electric vehicles is a cause for concern among Western politicians. In their speeches, they regularly promise to reduce dependence on Beijing. Little has happened so far. But the tide is slowly turning—though those in power are playing more of a supporting role. The key players work for publicly traded companies like HPQ Silicon, IBU-tec, and AMG Critical Materials. We take a look at how this trio plans to make Europe's battery industry competitive.

Bulls Regain Control? Globex Mining, SAP, and Oracle Gain Ground
The 2026 investment year has so far turned out much better than expected. Despite all the international turmoil and several current hotspots, the S&P 500 index reached a new all-time high of 7,147 points last week. Tech stocks were back in the spotlight, while the recently sought-after commodity stocks took a hit. Critical metals, however, remain the top issue due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. China is now only exporting them in limited quantities, so many analysts already view them as a "showstopper" for economic development through 2030. What can the West do? Little in the short term, but in the long term, import dependencies must be replaced with genuine domestic deposits, many of which must also be brought into production quickly. Regulators are therefore called upon to act, even if the word "quickly" has not yet become part of the official vocabulary in Brussels. At Canada's Globex Mining, a lot is already getting underway. Tech stocks SAP and Oracle have likely finally put their lows behind them.

Netflix, Oracle, Avrupa Minerals – Crash, Comeback, Hidden Gem: These 3 Stocks Are Making Waves Right Now
Deceptive record figures, a risky strategic shift, and a historic leadership change are casting doubt on Netflix, causing the stock to take a significant hit. At the same time, a tech conglomerate is celebrating a spectacular comeback with double-digit growth rates and strong buy signals, thanks to the AI boom and a cloud offensive. Even more exciting, however, is a commodities player that has gone largely unnoticed so far but could emerge as a true high-flyer in the shadow of the energy transition and exploding AI demand. With a focus on Europe, a low market capitalization, and massive leverage on new discoveries, a potential revaluation beckons here.

ASML, Group Eleven Resources, Aixtron – Europe with Game-Changing Potential
Europe is emerging as the epicenter of a new commodities and technology boom. While a near-monopolist with record margins is driving the global chip industry and reaping the benefits of exploding AI demand, a potential game-changer in the commodities sector is taking shape on the continent. High-grade polymetallic deposits, combined with a strategic location and low costs, could significantly reduce dependence on imports. Massive investments and expanded drilling programs are accelerating the development toward a potential key role in European supply. At the same time, optimistic forecasts in the semiconductor sector are providing additional momentum. Europe could thus benefit twice over, both technologically and in terms of raw materials.

The Antimony Crisis: Antimony Resources at the Heart of Western Supply Security – How Lockheed Martin and Rio Tinto Are Responding
Shiny, silvery antimony has become a central element of the Western security architecture. China's export restrictions, which culminated in a targeted export ban on the US in 2024, forced Western supply chains to realign. Securing domestic supplies has thus become imperative, overshadowing short-term cost considerations. While defense giants like Lockheed Martin are desperately searching for reliable sources to maintain production of modern defense systems and mining companies like Rio Tinto are investing in processing capacity, specialized antimony companies are coming into focus. Antimony Resources is advancing the development of the Bald Hill project in New Brunswick, which is considered one of the most significant future antimony sources in North America. The company offers investors direct access to a market where small companies are becoming indispensable partners to industry, presenting significant opportunities for investors.

Europe's Path to Raw Materials Sovereignty: Key Roles for Lundin Mining, Boliden, and Avrupa Minerals
Due to geopolitical developments, Europe is more compelled than ever to reduce its dependence on global supply chains by increasing its own production of base metals. With the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), the European Union (EU) has set ambitious targets to produce at least 10% of its strategic raw material needs domestically and process 40% itself by 2030. This urgency is underscored by forecasts from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and McKinsey, which expect a significant supply deficit of up to 30% for copper by 2035. According to experts, this deficit is driven by the global energy transition and the construction of data centers for artificial intelligence. According to analyses by S&P Global, the transformation requires not only capital but also a radical reorientation of industrial policy away from global just-in-time supply chains toward resilient, domestic clusters. In this complex landscape, the value chain is being reshaped, with companies such as Lundin Mining, Boliden, and Avrupa Minerals each occupying specific segments. We outline companies and business models and discuss opportunities for investors.

Double The Gains: 100% Rebound in Defense Stocks and Critical Metals – Rheinmetall, Antimony Resources, CSG, and Mutares in focus
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The stock market gives and takes. While investors were able to celebrate a massive 5% gain last week, the tide has already turned in the opposite direction this week. The reason: The hoped-for peace talks in Pakistan between the US, Israel, and Iran have failed. Since this provides no positive momentum for the economy or the already strained energy and metals markets, volatility is likely to return in some sectors. We are looking at opportunities in the critical metals sector and highlighting some stocks that are showing attractive metrics again following recent corrections.

Almonty Industries: Poised to Benefit from Tungsten Supply Constraints and Defense Demand
With the ceasefire in the Middle East, a new phase may emerge: increased rearmament. The arsenals in the US, Israel, and the Gulf states have been severely depleted. How quickly the replenishment succeeds is likely to depend heavily on the supply of critical raw materials. And in many cases, China, as a de facto monopolist, holds significant influence. One essential metal is tungsten. It is used not only for ammunition and missiles but also, for example, in the semiconductor industry. In this sector, genuine supply bottlenecks appear to be looming. Major Japanese companies are, in any case, warning of this. Against this backdrop, it is not surprising that the price of tungsten has risen from USD 900 to around USD 3,000 per metric ton unit (MTU) this year alone. Nor is it surprising that Almonty Industries is a real analyst favorite. The tungsten producer is positioned for strong earnings growth.
