Mega rally at First Phosphate, Renk, VW, and BYD with buy signals
The stock markets continue to rise unabated. Those hoping for a correction will be disappointed. Yesterday, the DAX 40 index broke through the 22,000 mark, much faster than many had anticipated. Technology stocks SAP and Siemens remain the driving force, while on the NASDAQ, it is still the Magnificent 7 that is setting the tone. Selection is now key. We turn our attention to the upcoming battery materials supplier, First Phosphate, as well as stocks like Renk, VW, and BYD. While VW is in the middle of restructuring, BYD is continuing on its journey. The defense industry remains interesting, especially Renk. Where should one invest now?

Buy Puma shares now? Caution advised with Renk, Rheinmetall & Co.! Hidden Gem Nova Pacific Metals launches!
Even if it is not what Donald Trump wants to hear, the US is dependent on imports from Canada, particularly for raw materials. The tariff disputes only highlight this. Accordingly, Canadian raw materials stocks are coming to the attention of investors. One such hidden gem is Nova Pacific Metals, but this could change soon. In contrast, defense stocks could face a strong pullback as Donald Trump increases pressure. Is now the time to take profits at Renk, Rheinmetall, and Co.? Puma shareholders have been waiting for price gains for some time. Is now the time to enter the market after the recent crash?

BYD, Power Nickel, Rheinmetall – Top high flyers with further potential
After the outstanding stock market years of 2023 and 2024, many market participants assumed there would be a sharp correction on the stock markets at the beginning of the year. So far, however, both the DAX and the Dow Jones have proved the pessimists wrong and continued their upward trends despite increasing political and economic uncertainties. Although valuations in general, such as the Shiller P/E ratio, which is at the second-highest level in its history, already appear ambitious, there are still opportunities for disproportionate price increases in some companies.

GOLD and ARMAMENTS unstoppable: Renk outperforms Hensoldt – Barrick Gold and First Nordic Metals with MOMENTUM
Gold and defense stocks are currently unstoppable. The gold price is now well above the USD 2,800 mark. Just in time for the record price, insider tip First Nordic Metals is starting its drilling program in Sweden. The stock has taken off, and investors can look forward to a lively news flow. Even gold giant Barrick is sending positive signals, and the stock is picking up momentum. "Gold has truly arrived as the ultimate store of value," the Barrick CEO said in an interview with Bloomberg. Defense stocks are also completely unfazed by Donald Trump's tariff threats. While Rheinmetall is trading at an all-time high, Renk seems to be leaving the downward trend behind and finally catching up. Hensoldt's performance is clearly being surpassed. Will the momentum continue?

Deutsche Bank, Globex Mining, Rheinmetall – High-flying stocks for good reason
Amid geopolitical tensions, the looming trade war, and interest rate cuts by the ECB, there are still stocks that are not deterred by all the challenges and continue to rise. These high-flyers have either structured their business well or are taking advantage of megatrends such as commodities, which could be at the beginning of a supercycle, or the supply of defense equipment, which is in high demand given the tensions in the world. Investors who identify emerging trends early can make a lot of money, but those who enter the market later can still profit. The prerequisite for this is always a look at the fundamentals.

+300% Price Target, Major Order, and Bill Gates: RHEINMETALL, D-WAVE, ALMONTY INDUSTRIES
These stocks are successfully resisting the crash in tariffs and should continue to march even if the situation escalates: analysts see a revaluation and over 300% upside potential for Almonty Industries. The Company, with a 2026 P/E ratio of 6.3, is well on its way to becoming a major global commodity player. The massive tungsten mine in South Korea is set to open this year. The latest sensation is the sale of decades' worth of molybdenum production to a SpaceX supplier. Analysts are also still enthusiastic about Rheinmetall. The share price is rising almost even faster than the price targets, and the latest major order shows that it can continue. And how is high-flyer D-Wave doing? The specialist in quantum computing is also unlikely to be affected by tariff struggles and is getting a tailwind from Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

Renk, Hensoldt, Newmont, Benton Resources: New RECORDS for gold and defense stocks
Will Hensoldt and Renk step out of Rheinmetall's shadow in 2025? At least both defense stocks have started the new year strongly. Analysts see significant price potential for Renk. Is there room for another 50%? Hensoldt could benefit from problems at Continental and Bosch. Both want to lay off employees, and plant closures are also possible. Hensoldt sees an opportunity to attract sought-after specialists. Even the gold price is unstoppable. But the big producers are hardly being sought, do Newmont and especially Barrick Gold have to invest more in takeovers again? How about Benton Resources? The Company is developing an exciting copper-gold project in Canada. Ongoing drilling programs offer upside potential.

Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, BYD – Profiting from the trade war with critical raw materials
With Donald Trump's re-election as president and the announcement of tariffs specifically on Chinese goods, a trade war seems inevitable. In December, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced it would no longer supply tungsten and other rare minerals to the US. This was in response to the US restrictions on the sale of AI chips to China. Without critical raw materials such as gallium or tungsten, many high-tech products can no longer be produced. These materials are used in semiconductors, which are incorporated into nearly all electronics, cars, medical devices, and many other areas.

Rheinmetall, European Lithium, BYD – Drastic measures
The pressure from the former and current US president to increase defense spending among NATO partners remains high, which means that defense companies will likely face a revaluation. By contrast, subsidies for electric vehicles in the US are on the verge of being phased out. However, industry experts and analysts are convinced that the global trend towards electric mobility will remain unaffected. China remains the largest growth market for electric vehicles, with a share of 65% and 11 million vehicles sold, and the trend is rising. As a result, the demand for the basic raw material lithium is increasing.

Almonty, Rheinmetall, Palantir - Strategic decisions in global competition
Geopolitical tensions and technological innovations are the driving forces behind the current market movements in the defense and AI sectors. The leading tungsten producer, Almonty Industries, plans to move its headquarters to the US to strengthen domestic raw material independence for the defense industry. The timing is ideal as China tightens trade restrictions on both raw materials and US defense companies. Meanwhile, in Germany, the Federal Cartel Office has approved a far-reaching German-Italian defense project between Rheinmetall AG and Leonardo S.p.A. - the aim is to strengthen European security, particularly with regard to ground troops. The US tech company Palantir Technologies is further expanding its position in the AI market and is increasingly using AI platform technology for commercial customers. We look at what investors need to know now.
