Nuclear fusion fantasy at Almonty, Chevron, Cenovus Energy: Why tungsten is the key to infinite energy
Until now, when investors thought of tungsten, they usually pictured hardened steel for armor-piercing ammunition or high-performance drill bits for industrial use. But this perception is on the verge of changing fundamentally. The latest physical breakthroughs in nuclear fusion, particularly at the Chinese experimental reactor EAST, often referred to as the "artificial sun", are placing the high-melting metal at the center of an energy revolution. While oil multinationals such as Chevron and Cenovus Energy are managing the present with record profits, a new market is emerging in the background for materials that must withstand the most extreme conditions. In this scenario, Almonty Industries is evolving from a traditional mining company into a strategic technology enabler – after all, there can be no fusion energy without tungsten. For investors willing to look beyond the fossil fuel world, this opens up an opportunity that goes far beyond cyclical commodity trading.

Antimony shock for Airbus and BASF: China's export restrictions make Antimony Resources a strategic winner
2025 will go down in economic history as the year when a largely unknown semi-metal sent global industry into a state of alert. Antimony, long overshadowed by popular battery metals such as lithium and cobalt, suddenly emerged as one of the most strategically critical and supply-constrained metals. Aggressive export restrictions imposed by China, which historically controlled over 80% of global processing capacity, have put Western supply chains under significant pressure. What market observers refer to as the "antimony shock" is no longer a theoretical threat, but a harsh economic reality. According to industry analyses, market participants were already talking about significant supply deficits in 2025 – estimates are in the high five-digit ton range. We analyze the market and present a potential beneficiary.

CEO Buys Big – Almonty Turns into a Raw-Material Weapon Against China
Without tungsten, many key industries would grind to a halt. The transition metal is indispensable for armaments, semiconductors, aerospace, and is now moving further into the center of strategic interests with fusion research. At the same time, China controls over 80% of global supply and is tightening its export restrictions. The West is desperately seeking alternatives. This is precisely where Almonty Industries positions itself as one of the largest non-Chinese tungsten producers. The stock is receiving additional attention due to significant insider purchases by CEO Lewis Black - a signal that investors should not ignore.

Multibagger potential: Antimony Resources! Perfect setup - Sought-after critical metal in a large, high-grade, strategically important property
Geopolitical uncertainties and the race for secure supply chains are turning critical raw materials into a strategic priority. One metal that has so far received little attention is increasingly coming into focus: antimony. It is essential for defense, semiconductors, specialty alloys, and flame retardants. Antimony Resources is developing Bald Hill in New Brunswick, home to the largest known antimony deposit in North America. Recently published drilling data showing high-grade mineralization underscores the project's potential. The data already suggest that the size of the indicated resources could expand soon. All these factors could become strong drivers for the share price!

Explosive mix: Critical metals and e-mobility! BYD, Mercedes-Benz, Graphano Energy, and RENK in focus
E-mobility in Germany could gain fresh momentum in 2026, as the CDU wing of the federal government is pushing for the reintroduction of purchase incentives for electric vehicles, retroactively including those registered since the beginning of the year. There is still a need for discussion within the SPD due to other issues. German citizens are familiar with the nerve-wracking process of reaching compromises in Berlin, where a new law can only be passed with five other concessions to the coalition partner. This is how grand coalitions work: slowly and tenaciously. Regardless, the public has become accustomed to this carnival event, and for us, stock market traders, it is important to look at the possible effects of such subsidy decisions. According to estimates from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, available funding could support the purchase of up to 800,000 electric vehicles - roughly 1.6% of all registered vehicles in Germany. The planned incentives aim primarily to ease the transition to e-mobility for low- and middle-income households. Do not look a gift horse in the mouth! How are automotive stocks doing on the stock market?

Up 700% and still going strong! Almonty, Deutz, and Infineon under the microscope
It goes without saying that stocks that are performing well do not necessarily have to stop. Often, new business models only become interesting over time, or companies change their focus to become attractive targets for investors again. Almonty Industries is considered a representative of critical metals. The stock has risen 700% in the past 12 months. However, so much has changed in the group that analysts now have to recalculate here as well. Drive specialist Deutz is consistently focusing on military applications, and Infineon is discovering its relevance in solving energy problems in large computing facilities and in e-mobility. New concepts, new valuations – the world keeps turning! Where should investors get in now?

Antimony Resources: Three powerful drivers form the perfect antimony wave
While much of the investment world is rushing to tungsten and lithium, a great opportunity is emerging in the shadows. Antimony, a metal essential for flame retardants, defense, and electronics, is characterized by an overwhelming dependence on China and recurring export restrictions. Against this backdrop, Antimony Resources is advancing its flagship Bald Hill project in Canada with notable precision. The combination of exceptional geology, rising geopolitical urgency, and operational momentum could make the Company the unlikely winner of a new era of raw materials.

This stock is skyrocketing! Antimony Resources is stealing the show from MP Materials and Standard Lithium!
While investor attention is mainly focused on rare earths and lithium, antimony is quietly gaining momentum. The US government is attempting to free itself from its dependence on China through a billion-dollar deal. In China, antimony smugglers are being sentenced to lengthy prison terms. And Antimony Resources' stock exploded by 18% on Friday. As a result, the Company is increasingly stealing the spotlight from investor favorites in the critical raw materials sector, such as Standard Lithium and MP Materials. This trend could continue over the course of the year, as the exploration project appears to be a real hit, and Antimony Resources' shares still look far from expensive.

When the machines grind to a halt: Why Sandvik is trembling, and Almonty Industries is becoming a billion-dollar bet like MP Materials
The 2026 stock market year begins with a realization that is causing industrial producers worldwide to break out in a cold sweat: tungsten, one of the hardest and most heat-resistant metals, is sold out. What began with rare earths last year is now continuing with brutal severity for the material without which no armored steel can be hardened, no smartphone can vibrate, and - most importantly for the global economy - no industrial cutting tools can function. In this tense situation, Swedish industrial giant Sandvik is acting as the "canary in the coal mine" – the Company is signaling the situation on the tungsten market before all other market participants. Sweden's dependence on tungsten carbide is comprehensive. But while the industry struggles for security of supply, savvy investors are recognizing a historical parallel: the situation is the same as the rise of MP Materials in the rare earths sector. Almonty Industries, which owns the largest tungsten mine outside China, still trades at a fraction of MP Materials' valuation. Yet the Company is poised to become the West's tungsten monopolist.
