Is China getting serious? Rheinmetall and Almonty Industries profit! Varta share on the brink?
Is China really preparing for an attack on Taiwan? It is well known that China is massively increasing its gold reserves. But why tungsten, too? After all, China itself is the largest producer of this raw material, which is not only in demand in the arms industry. However, as noted recently by the CEO of Almonty at an investor conference, the Chinese are currently buying large quantities of tungsten. We can only speculate about the reasons behind this. What is clear is that the Western world needs to secure its tungsten supply. Almonty Industries is already producing in Europe and plans to commission a huge tungsten mine in South Korea later this year. Revenue and profits should then rise sharply and lead to a revaluation of the share. Rheinmetall has undergone a revaluation in the past two years. Can it reach EUR 600? Varta, on the other hand, is on the brink. Analysts do not see any upside, even at the current price level.

War in the Middle East and the explosive commodity cycle: Rheinmetall, Renk, Globex Mining, and Varta in focus!
Well, that escalated quickly. Just a week has passed since Iran carried out a nighttime attack on Israel. That was followed by a few days of commemoration, a few phone calls with Washington and the UN, and then last Friday, an Israeli counterattack was reported. While the agency news is not really clear yet, the stock markets are taking the current uncertainty as an opportunity to finally let some air out of the inflated system. Central banks are also stepping back from hoped-for interest rate cuts, as current inflation is too high and the negative signals from the economy are not yet excessive. All in all, defense stocks are holding up well, and a new upward cycle is beginning for commodities. It took a while, but now is the time to have the right stocks in the portfolio.

Discount battle over: Commodities on the counter-offensive! Rheinmetall, Power Nickel, BASF and Varta in focus
Since the bombing of Israel by Iran, the clocks are ticking differently in the Middle East. The next stage of escalation has been reached. If Israel now uses the right to defense as an opportunity to initiate something bigger, it is here: the conflagration. Gold and silver are shining as safe-haven currencies and pulling long-neglected commodity shares through the roof. Now is the time to keep the sails in the wind and ride the long-awaited upward momentum. In the energy transition, strategically safer jurisdictions that can safely serve the growing hunger for commodities are still in demand. We highlight a few opportunities.

Drumbeat at TUI! Caution with Renk and Nel! dynaCERT Stock with Potential!
A drumbeat is sounding at TUI! In an interview, the tourism group's CFO hints that shareholders can soon look forward to a dividend again. On the other hand, tensions in the Middle East are causing short-term uncertainty in tourism shares. Conversely, defense stocks are once again benefiting from the possibility of an escalation. However, analysts currently see little further potential for Renk. The retrofit kits from dynaCERT offer great potential for reducing emissions from diesel vehicles. If VERRA clears the way for CO2 certificates, the share could go through the roof. Is the Company preparing for this with a personnel change? In contrast, the Nel share seeks support, and tomorrow promises to be exciting.

Threat to Europe, Demand for Defense Persists! Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Renk and Hensoldt
Europe is gearing up, as since February 24, 2022, peace has become a thing of the past. Europe lived in harmony for a whole 77 years, with the exception of the warlike dissolution of Yugoslavia as a regional conflict. Today's world resembles the situation in the 1970s and 1980s, as the Iron Curtain is re-establishing itself as a political border. The old world order that has prevailed since the end of the Cold War has been shattered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Consequently, NATO has regained a new role; after years of disarmament, it has now become a sought-after defense alliance. The accession of Finland and Sweden now strengthens the alliance towards the east. What now looms large is rapid rearmament! Where can investors still participate?

AI, Defense, and Hydrogen - The explosive mix: Super Micro Computer, First Hydrogen and Renk Group
After an extended rally on the NASDAQ, in the DAX-40 and most recently in the Nikkei 225, sector rotations are now setting in. The next few weeks will show whether the AI sector has already turned around. Only once in stock market history has there been a stronger first quarter for a particular sector. The hydrogen hype in the transition from 2020 to 2021 was when Plug Power saw its share price increase twentyfold. It is hard to believe what liquidity-spoiled stock markets can achieve. Now, however, investors should keep their eyes open, as the artificial intelligence and defense sectors are similarly overinvested, just as H2 stocks were a few years ago. The time for reallocation has likely come.

React now: Reap armaments soon and reinforce hydrogen! Rheinmetall and Hensoldt versus Plug Power and dynaCERT
The stock market is currently very selective. Artificial intelligence and armaments will continue to be favored, while hydrogen and lithium stocks remain unpopular even after Easter. That is just the way it goes; the market gives and takes. All sectors under consideration have already generated several hundred percent returns over the past two years, but timing has always been crucial. We analyze the current situation based on trends and indicators. The time for a tactical reallocation seems imminent.

Renk, Super Micro Computer, Royal Helium: SHARES UNSTOPPABLE!
The Renk share is unstoppable. Yesterday, the shares of the defense technology company surged by 7% at its peak. The share is scratching at the EUR 40 mark and has thus more than doubled since the IPO in February of this year. While the share price is being driven by politics, analysts are beginning to lose interest. So, is it time to exit now? The defense industry needs helium just as much as medical technology and quantum computers. Royal Helium is one of the few listed companies in this sector. The Company is currently making the leap from explorer to producer, a move that should benefit the share. Helium is also needed to produce the AI semiconductors used by Super Micro Computer. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Amazon show that the hunger for AI data centers is far from satisfied. They plan to invest over USD 200 billion in new supercomputers.

Profit-taking in Defense and AI - What else is going on? Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Renk and Hensoldt
Armaments stocks have been on the sunny side in the current year, 2024. Investors in this segment clearly outperformed the DAX 40 index. Due to the geopolitical situation and a redefined EU security policy, investors have rediscovered the sector. NATO member states are being called upon by the US to strictly adhere to or further increase their percentage of gross domestic product invested in defense. Donald Trump, who may return, wants to deny renegade allies the backing of the US in an emergency. Although nobody believes in this scenario, the announcement has had the effect that orders for new armaments technology have reached a new all-time high. Which shares are still in focus?

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Renk - Golden times everywhere?
The world is full of economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. These are ideal conditions for gold, which is still considered a safe haven. There are now several factors that point to a sustained upswing in gold prices. One factor is the increased involvement of central banks, which are increasing their reserves to an extent not seen for decades. Another factor is the discussion within the BRICS nations about introducing a new currency backed by gold as a counterweight to the dominant US dollar. Therefore, today, we look at two gold companies and shed light on Renk, a representative of the defense industry, which is also experiencing golden times.
