Gaza, Iran, Ukraine – Conflicts are driving up metal prices! Rheinmetall, European Lithium, Hensoldt, and RENK
The problem is getting bigger! Strategic metals are currently having a massive impact on the geopolitical balance of power, as they play a decisive role in determining the economic and military capabilities of countries. Conflicts such as those in Gaza, Ukraine, and, more recently, Iran are exacerbating shortages because long-standing trade relationships can be terminated overnight. The concentration of metal production in a few countries makes supply chains vulnerable to political influence. Export restrictions, embargoes or targeted shortages imposed by China or Russia can lead to bottlenecks in consumer countries and severely affect the economy. We describe the current situation and offer solutions for dynamic investors.

Unbelievable but true! Bonus shares from BYD, VW restructuring, Antimony Resources and thyssenkrupp in focus
With each passing day of escalating geopolitical conflicts, one thing becomes clear: secure supply chains for industry and manufacturing are a thing of the past. The German and European industrial landscape, in particular, is feeling the effects of increasing sanctions, which are narrowing supply chains and, in some cases, drying them up completely. Capital markets are sensitive to such scarcity scenarios, with long-term interest rates rising and risk indicators skyrocketing. How are industrial companies responding to this environment, and is there any hope for a revival of global trade? These are all legitimate questions when following political developments on both sides of the Atlantic. What trends should investors keep an eye on?

Gold or Defense – Where to take action now? Rheinmetall, RENK, and Leonardo require caution, AJN Resources on the launchpad!
Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine shows no signs of ending. Despite all political efforts on both sides of the Atlantic, the Russian commander is continuing his bombardment of his neighboring country. NATO sees many reasons in the aggressor's behavior to significantly increase its military capabilities. This is causing further investor money to flow into defense stocks, but valuations are now very ambitious. However, in their search for security, investors are also increasingly buying gold, which could rise to as high as USD 3,490 per ounce in 2025. Low production costs are bringing low-cost projects in Africa into focus. AJN Resources has just refinanced and is repositioning itself in Ethiopia. How can investors diversify wisely?

Almonty Industries: The new Pillar of Western Raw Material Security
The Western world is facing a raw material crisis with explosive geopolitical implications. In recent months, China has drastically tightened its export controls on critical minerals, affecting primarily strategically important metals such as gallium, germanium, antimony, and, most recently, tungsten. These raw materials are indispensable for the defense industry, semiconductor production, and high-tech manufacturing. Amid this tense situation, one company that is positioning itself as an important part of the solution is stepping into the spotlight: Almonty Industries (TSX: AII). The tungsten specialist operates strategically located tungsten projects in South Korea, Portugal, and Spain and will soon play a key role in supplying Western industries, as global tungsten supplies are expected to run critically low in the near future.

Urgent: NATO approves largest rearmament program since the Cold War - Almonty, Hensoldt, Rheinmetall
The news is a bombshell: In light of an acute threat from Russia, NATO is opening the money floodgates. The most extensive rearmament since 1990 not only provides for a massive increase in conventional military capabilities, but also reveals the dependence of modern armed forces on critical raw materials – especially tungsten. The decision was made during a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels and has far-reaching consequences. For investors, but also for all of us.

Three explosive markets dominate investor interest: defense, critical raw materials, and gold. Geopolitical rifts and economic upheavals are fueling these sectors like never before in decades.

With gold over USD 3,400 - 100% gains in no time: Gerresheimer, Desert Gold, Hensoldt, and RENK
Rumors about Jerome Powell's resignation were circulating at the beginning of the week. Described as very "hawkish," meaning he strictly aligns interest rates with inflation, he is an uncomfortable contemporary for President Donald Trump. The US administration needs a lot of money to get the outdated infrastructure and the entire economy back on track. Numerous campaign promises for a flourishing America can only be fulfilled by the flamboyant frontman if sufficient funds are available. This is a difficult undertaking due to the very high level of government debt. The credit rating agency Moody's is not intimidated by the president's threats and recently downgraded the US credit rating by one notch to AA1. Triple-A status is now history. This is a perfect setup for gold, with the precious metal rising again to over USD 3,400. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Alarm bells ringing for rare earths and record highs for hydrogen! Hensoldt, Plug Power, Mercedes, and BMW partner European Lithium
Rare earths are increasingly being used as a weapon in geopolitics. "The last remaining stocks will likely be used up within four to six weeks. Then parts of production will have to be shut down," warns Christian Grimmelt of the consulting firm Berylls by AlixPartners in Wirtschaftswoche. This could benefit European Lithium's stock. The Company not only aims to supply lithium to BMW but is also developing a rare earths project in Greenland. Is the defense industry also affected by the shortage of raw materials? Perhaps. For now, the FOMO rally is driving defense stocks to new all-time highs. But caution is advised: according to analysts, Hensoldt shares, for example, have a 30% downside risk. Plug Power, on the other hand, has had to cope with many setbacks in recent months. Its shares are at rock bottom. Could a milestone in its home market bring about a turnaround?
