Ivanhoe Mines, Power Metallic Mines, Rio Tinto: Commodity Giants on the Offensive
Copper is more expensive than ever before. On the LME, the price temporarily climbed to over USD 14,600 per metric tonne. At the same time, demand is growing due to power grids, data centres, electric mobility, and defence spending, while new mines take years to reach production. The industry's response to the current situation is clear. Major mining companies are securing additional deposits, while exploration companies are seeking to define the mines of tomorrow through new resource discoveries.

AI: The Game-Changer for Industry - VW, Strategic Resources, BYD and NIO in Focus
The next major upheaval is here! Industry is facing a radical transformation as artificial intelligence disrupts established market structures at record speed. Industrial companies and service providers alike must adapt now to avoid falling behind in global competition. In this context, the long-established German manufacturer VW is under immense pressure to accelerate its digitalization efforts and finally resolve its software issues. The electric mobility market, long driven by highly sophisticated algorithms, is proving particularly dynamic. The Chinese giant BYD is impressively showing how vertical integration and smart manufacturing can drive unprecedented market share. But premium competitor NIO is not resting on its laurels either and is setting new standards in vehicle connectivity and autonomous driving systems. Furthermore, innovative players in the raw materials sector, such as Strategic Resources, are coming into focus as they aim to play a decisive role in the AI-driven value chain. The spectrum ranges from traditional industry through digital disruption to the procurement sector—a compelling area of activity for dynamic investors.

A Shift in the Portfolio: Why Lahontan Gold Could Outperform Heavyweights Xiaomi and TKMS
The Chinese conglomerate Xiaomi is launching a major offensive with new foldable smartphones and electric vehicles, yet its share price remains under pressure. Meanwhile, the Kiel-based defence specialist TKMS is seeing a noticeable pullback after reaching an all-time high last August. Is the sell-off in the defence stock merely a healthy breather, or is a deeper correction on the horizon? Beyond these two companies, a smaller stock in the commodities sector could attract even more attention, as Lahontan Gold appears poised for a technical breakout after a prolonged consolidation phase. Backed by solid metrics from its initial PEA, the stock is now experiencing a dynamic upward trend. We take a closer look at all three stocks and highlight which one could potentially have the edge as a portfolio holding.

Shake-Up Brewing at Almonty Industries! Adidas World Cup Party is Over! BYD Export Explosion!
BYD is shaking up the international automotive market with a massive wave of exports, turning up the heat on rival automakers and nearly the entire Western competition. Thanks to the football World Cup, Adidas enjoyed a breathtaking surge in sales, leaving its competitors far behind. But now the World Cup party appears to be over—the stock catalyst has vanished, replaced instead by market frustration. Elsewhere, however, a rare raw material, without which modern defence and technology simply cannot function, is triggering a profound geopolitical upheaval. Almonty Industries is positioning itself perfectly to capitalize on this exact scenario. Find out in this report why the second quarter was so critical for all three stocks, and where the biggest opportunities are lurking right now. Keep reading, as the figures and news tell a powerful and, in some cases, highly surprising story.

Power Metallic Mines, Siemens Energy, BYD: Some Benefit from Record Copper Prices, Others Struggle for Every Ton
Copper has always been regarded as a barometer of the economy. Yet what is currently unfolding on the markets is more than just an ordinary price rally. While new record prices for copper are dominating the headlines, a structural bottleneck is emerging behind the scenes. The world is facing a massive supply deficit, which is being further fuelled by electric mobility, the expansion of hydrogen infrastructure and the exploding energy demands of AI data centres. The red metal is thus becoming a strategic asset. We are therefore taking a look today at the polymetallic explorer Power Metallic Mines, the technology group Siemens Energy and the electric vehicle market leader BYD.

Volkswagen, Strategic Resources and TKMS: How to Capitalize on the Mega-Trend of Defence and Raw Materials
When a vehicle manufacturer becomes a defence contractor, a raw materials developer provides the key to green steel production, and a naval group reports record orders, a realignment of German industry is taking shape. Volkswagen is on the brink of its most profound transformation and is turning to the defence sector as a lifeline. At the same time, the race for strategic resources is intensifying. Without decarbonized steel, there can be no modern defence, and this steel requires specific grades of iron ore. This is precisely where Strategic Resources comes in. While thyssenkrupp Marine Systems is benefiting from full order books, a new value chain is emerging. Today, we take a closer look at the shares of Volkswagen, Strategic Resources and TKMS.

AI: The 180-Degree Turn for Performance Cars! VW, Porsche, BYD and Standard Uranium in Focus
It has finally happened – AI is permeating every aspect of life. This is creating many new conditions, including for stock market investors. One example is the automotive sector: for the traditional auto industry to survive, a fundamental U-turn is essential. Whilst long-established brands such as VW and Porsche have dominated for decades thanks to their mastery of classic mechanical engineering and driving dynamics, AI is now rapidly shifting the core of value creation to the software level. The modern vehicle is rapidly evolving from a mechanical means of transport into a rolling supercomputer. This is evident in the disruptive strategy of Chinese tech giants such as BYD. Not only does the company control around 75% of its vertical supply chain, including its own AI chips, but its integrated AI architecture is also completely breaking down the traditional barriers between the powertrain, the cockpit and the driver-assistance systems. This transformation is putting German premium manufacturers under enormous pressure in terms of time and margins, as the iterative addition of individual control units appears too sluggish and inflexible compared to BYD's centralized AI 'brain'. For investors, this creates a highly dynamic environment. It is worth taking a closer look.

Explosive News: Power Metallic Mines Nears a Decisive Milestone — How Are BASF and BYD Performing?
AI and electrification require enormous amounts of copper. According to the International Energy Agency, a supply shortfall of approximately 6.6 million metric tons is projected by 2035. New mines and functioning recycling loops will therefore be equally indispensable. Power Metallic Mines could arrive at exactly the right time with its polymetallic Nisk project in Québec. The company's initial mineral resource estimate, expected soon, will reveal the deposit's industrial significance and whether the stock is poised for a revaluation. Chemicals giant BASF is strategically positioning itself in raw materials and recycling while gaining additional appeal through the planned spin-off of its agricultural business. BYD demonstrates just how rapidly international demand is growing, with Europe playing an increasingly important role. Who holds the best cards?

AI, E-Mobility and Robotics: 150% Upside? Mercedes-Benz, BYD, XPeng and Strategic Resources in Focus
The profound convergence of artificial intelligence, robotics, and e-mobility is completely redefining today's industrial landscape. This technological revolution is being led by visionary companies that are deliberately upending conventional industry norms. For example, the Chinese pioneer XPeng is strategically transforming its business model toward "Physical AI" to enable vehicles to merge with humanoid robots in perfect symbiosis in the future. At the same time, global industry leader BYD is pushing into the European market with an unprecedented scaling offensive, while established luxury manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz are building an emotional bridge between high-performance software and legendary driving culture. Yet amid this rapid race for technological supremacy, one fundamental truth is often overlooked: without securing the underlying raw material supply chains, the entire high-tech machinery comes to a standstill. This is where the raw materials specialist Strategic Resources Inc. positions itself: with its Canadian BlackRock project, the company already has a key approved mine. It is worth taking a closer look at the numbers.
