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?

Revolution in the car market: BYD, 123fahrschule, Zoom
The automotive industry has been undergoing change for around ten years. But now, truly profound changes are on the horizon. With the Dolphin Surf, Chinese manufacturer BYD is delivering an electric vehicle for less than EUR 20,000 and, in doing so, redefining what a vehicle needs to have today – which has little to do with the idea that older German customers in particular have of cars. We explain the changes in the automotive industry and show how investors can invest in this transformation.

Can you believe it? Stock market darling BYD plunges, while D-Wave, 123fahrschule and Metaplanet go into express mode!
Bull mode every day? While 30-year government bonds in the US have climbed to the magical 5% yield mark, stock markets are rising to new highs almost daily. However, the focus is no longer on the NASDAQ but on the DAX 40 index - the reason: US President Donald Trump's policies are causing international caution toward the formerly close ally. Tariffs are limiting growth, and tourism is collapsing, weakening the US dollar and prompting fund managers worldwide to look for other investment opportunities. Rising interest rates and a growing budget deficit could thus become economic dynamite for the promised land. In contrast, an increase in investment rates has been observed in Europe since the beginning of the year, with investors investing in digitalization and infrastructure following generous public investment decisions. Where do the opportunities and risks lie?

Tariff chaos as a springboard: How Volkswagen, European Lithium, and BYD are securing future profits
The global automotive industry is in a quandary: New US punitive tariffs of up to 50% on imported vehicles threaten to sideline European manufacturers. Even though Donald Trump is giving Europe more time for negotiations, the tariffs are still on the table. These tariffs would result in a slump in exports and shrinking margins. But there is also an opportunity amid the chaos. Those who strengthen local supply chains, drive forward electric innovations, and cooperate strategically will dominate tomorrow's market. Therefore, we look at two major automakers, Volkswagen and BYD, and analyze European Lithium, which will become very important for European supply chains.

Hydrogen from niche market to cash cow: BYD, First Hydrogen, and Plug Power – Who is performing best?
The mobility transition is looking for solutions beyond batteries - and is finding them in a technology that refuels faster and drives further than any electric vehicle. While electromobility shines in urban areas, hydrogen is revolutionizing logistics, long-haul transport, and the heavy-duty sector with its seamless practicality. Regulatory initiatives and billion-dollar infrastructure projects are fueling the market. But who will benefit first? Key players are not relying on visions of the future, but on hard facts such as scalable technology, government support, and an industry hungry for decarbonization. While BYD and First Hydrogen are progressing, Plug Power is struggling with financial issues on its path to profitability.

Exploding profits? BYD's exports, Power Metallic Mines' drilling, Mercedes-Benz's tariff tactics
The mobility transition is accelerating, but the road to an electric future is fraught with dynamics and dilemmas. While global demand for electric vehicles is exploding, shortages of key raw materials such as nickel, copper, lithium, and cobalt threaten to slow down ambitions. Innovations in recycling, alternative materials, and ethical sourcing are becoming a decisive competitive advantage. At the same time, new technologies and government subsidies are pushing the market into an era full of opportunities. Three players are at the center of this upheaval: BYD as a battery pioneer, Power Metallic Mines as a raw material supplier, and Mercedes-Benz as a premium manufacturer, who are jointly rewriting the rules of the green revolution.

While Friedrich Merz fails, BUYING OPPORTUNITIES arise for these stocks: Deutz, BYD, and Power Metallic Mines
Friedrich Merz has failed in the first round of voting to become Chancellor. But these stocks are winners: without metals, there would be no electromobility, no defense, no infrastructure - and when it comes to gold, no store of value. Power Metallic Metals caused a stir last year with spectacular drilling results. The latest samples show that the potential is far from exhausted. The current consolidation of the stock should soon be over. Deutz has already demonstrated how quickly a stock can explode. Analysts believe there is even more upside potential! And what is BYD doing? The Chinese company is growing strongly in their home market. In Europe, a bestseller is now set to bring success. Is this a threat to Volkswagen?

Lithium Made in Europe: European Lithium, SQM, Stellantis, and the supply chains of the future
Electromobility is booming - but without lithium, there are no batteries, and without batteries, there is no mobility transition. While major corporations like SQM from Chile dominate the market, European Lithium is working to make Europe more independent. At the same time, manufacturers such as Stellantis are establishing local supply chains to decouple themselves from global supply risks. We outline the situation in the lithium market and take a European perspective.

Nel ASA, First Hydrogen, BYD – Warren Buffett steps down and significant rebound opportunities
The bombshell dropped over the weekend! The Oracle of Omaha is stepping down and passing the baton. With cash reserves of USD 347.7 billion, Berkshire Hathaway's rejuvenated management is entering a new era. In addition to this breaking news, the past trading week saw a flurry of quarterly figures. Several companies in the renewable energy sector once again failed to meet expectations. However, there are opportunities for a rebound, albeit at significantly reduced levels.
