High-profile projects as a zinc turbo: Glencore, Mercedes-Benz, Pasinex Resources
Zinc is a highly sought-after industrial metal — but its price can fluctuate significantly at times. There is about a 25% difference between this spring's yearly low and the average annual price of USD 3,400 forecasted by analysts at Wood Mackenzie. Why is that? Just a few months ago, the market was concerned about an industrial downturn. Today, it is clear that inventories are low and demand from China is anything but weakening. Still, the zinc market remains challenging. We explain which companies are good investments in this environment and which are not!

Top news and price target raised! Plug Power, Standard Lithium, and BMW partner European Lithium
In the run-up to the IAA, BMW is stealing the spotlight from other automakers. The focus of attention is clearly on the Munich-based company's "Neue Klasse". If the new electric models are a success, European Lithium stands to benefit - they are set to supply the lithium for the batteries. But this raw materials gem has a second ace up its sleeve: rare earths. The stock is being driven by positive news flow, which is likely to continue. Standard Lithium is also seeing strong momentum. Analysts have recently raised their price targets significantly. In contrast, the alarm lights continue to flash at Plug Power. While revenue is rising and costs are falling, cash burn remains a concern. Nevertheless, analysts are recommending the hydrogen stock as a "Buy".

Trump under pressure, markets wobble – Technically position now with BYD, Almonty, and Palantir for the next 100% gains!
The stock markets are in yet another bubble, but unlike the tech bubble in 2000, investors are more prepared for the impending correction. The warning signs could not be more evident: inflation, wars, numerous global conflicts, surging interest rates, massive deficits, tariffs and trade wars! Anyone who sees short-term growth under these conditions is likely mistaken. And yet, the market is still holding on to the megatrends of artificial intelligence and defense. Admittedly, 1,000% or more could be earned here, which is good for those who rode out these trends. But caution is advised: The Shiller P/E ratio for the S&P 500 rose above 40 last week – well above the historical norm of 12 to 25. So, where is the celebration continuing? We offer a few clues.

BYD under fire: How First Hydrogen, SMR Technology, and Nel ASA aim to disrupt the Hydrogen Market
The mobility of the future will be shaped by more than just one technology. While electric batteries dominate in passenger vehicles, hydrogen offers enormous potential in heavy-duty transport, light commercial vehicles, and industrial applications. Its breakthrough depends on affordable, green production. Innovative small modular reactors (SMRs) could be the game changer here, radically reducing costs and guaranteeing long-term production. In this context, we take a closer look at BYD, the industry leader in electric mobility. First Hydrogen has already tested hydrogen-powered vehicles on the road and is now increasingly focusing on SMR development. Last but not least, we analyze hydrogen veteran Plug Power.

The auto industry is at a crossroads – Who will solve the lithium problem? BYD, Mercedes-Benz, European Lithium
When the Chinese step on the gas, German premium manufacturers are left in the dust! As a recent article in Handelsblatt shows, Chinese auto suppliers are increasingly overtaking their international competitors. This is fatal – after all, suppliers are the ones driving innovation. One indicator is the battery sector: in the first half of 2025, the two largest Chinese battery manufacturers, CATL and BYD, together controlled 55.7% of the global electric vehicle battery market. The next-largest non-Chinese supplier is LG from South Korea, with a market share of just 9%. As it stands, European car manufacturers remain heavily dependent on Chinese batteries. We examine why this dependence is risky, which companies are already working to reduce it, and which stocks offer opportunities for investors.

ALERT at Nel ASA! BUYING OPPORTUNITIES in BYD and Walmart partner MiMedia stock?
Is everything getting worse at Nel ASA? The silence from the usually communicative hydrogen specialist is indeed alarming. The partnership with Samsung has long since fizzled out, and after weak order intake in Q2, there is no improvement in sight. In contrast, Walmart partner MiMedia now offers an attractive entry opportunity following a decline in its share price. The latest operational reports from the cloud company are certainly promising. And BYD? The Chinese electric vehicle giant continues to grow dynamically despite fierce price competition – and is gaining momentum in Europe. However, the stock market did not seem convinced on Friday.

Nvidia figures: Will the bull market continue? Rheinmetall, Almonty, and BYD also offer excitement!
Today, Nvidia's figures will dominate stock market activity. In the slipstream of the 3,000% stock, there are, of course, other key players such as Rheinmetall and BYD, which have also multiplied in value over the last three years. Both companies reported good figures, but even a stock split at BYD did not help to prevent the downward correction. Almonty Industries raised USD 90 million through a NASDAQ listing and then faced short sellers, who are now starting to tremble. This is because the consolidation appears to be over, and the start of mining operations in South Korea is within reach. The stock market is clearly not a one-way street, especially as AI algorithms increasingly determine trading activity and attempt to mislead inexperienced investors with short-term moves. It is beneficial to maintain a clear head. Here are a few ideas.

Let off some steam! Caution advised for DroneShield, RENK, and Hensoldt - but opportunities at Pasinex
The stock market is entering a correction phase. For overheated stocks in the high-tech and defense sectors, this is a welcome opportunity to let off some steam. Now it is important to put the long-term prospects into perspective against the short-term hysteria. Doing so reveals where it may be worth buying after a correction. The charts are only just starting to rise, and a stronger correction should follow. In this context, the zinc projects of Pasinex Resources appear to be particularly attractive. As always, a balanced portfolio protects against unpleasant surprises. We present a few ideas.

China's leverage: Why Rheinmetall is struggling, European Lithium is benefiting, and BYD remains confident
The next wave of global conflicts will not be fought with weapons, but with export licenses. At the heart of this geopolitical struggle are critical metals without which no high-tech weapon, electric vehicle, or wind turbine can function. China's recent tightening of export restrictions has exposed the West's brutal dependency, forcing governments and corporations alike to rapidly rethink and realign their supply chains. While some companies are fighting to secure their supply chains, others are consolidating their sources or celebrating their monopolistic position. Three companies exemplify this dichotomy: the recently pressured defense giant Rheinmetall, the rare earth and lithium beneficiary European Lithium, and the Chinese giant BYD.

Two-tier market for raw materials: BHP Group, Power Metallic Mines, BYD
The term "commodity" refers to a standardized, interchangeable product with no unique characteristics. However, this principle is beginning to falter. On the one hand, production conditions are becoming increasingly important for raw materials; on the other, in an era of conflicting power blocs, tariffs, and other trade barriers, raw materials are far from interchangeable. The further processing of raw materials also gives companies in the sector the opportunity to set themselves apart from the competition and generate unique selling points. Commodity? That was yesterday! We explain the current development using the examples of BHP Group, Power Metallic Mines, and BYD, and highlight the opportunities for investors.
