SpaceX Needs Raw Materials: MP Materials, Standard Lithium and Strategic Resources Aim to Meet the Demand
SpaceX's appetite for raw materials is enormous. Elon Musk's company requires large quantities of a wide range of strategic materials for rockets, satellites and battery systems. These include rare earths for high-performance magnets, lithium for battery systems, as well as titanium and iron for high-load components and steel structures. SpaceX is just one example of the growing global demand. Companies such as Strategic Resources, MP Materials and Standard Lithium are working to supply the market. They are developing raw material deposits needed for critical applications in the space industry and numerous other key sectors. Strategic Resources focuses on iron, titanium and vanadium; MP Materials on rare earths; and Standard Lithium on lithium. Only one of the three stocks appears to be undervalued.

Inflation Protection for Your Portfolio: Bitcoin with Strategy, Gold with Desert Gold, and Oil and Lithium with ExxonMobil
How will investors allocate their capital in 2026 among the most important stores of value of our time? First, there is digital gold, Bitcoin, which cannot be mined indefinitely. Then there is physical gold from the earth, which has long been regarded as a safe haven and whose price, like Bitcoin's, has recently climbed significantly again. Finally, there is black gold, oil, which has once again come into focus, most recently since the Iran conflict. Investors who are thinking strategically today should not put all their eggs in one basket, but instead diversify. We take a closer look at one company from each sector: Strategy, Desert Gold, and ExxonMobil.

Strategic Commodities in Focus: Where the Biggest Opportunities Lie – Glencore, Power Metallic Mines, Standard Lithium
Global commodities markets are undergoing a fundamental transformation. The geopolitical reorganisation of supply chains and the immense demand driven by the global energy transition are forcing industrialised nations to secure strategic resources. For forward-thinking investors, this volatile environment is opening up highly exciting opportunities. While established giants are posting record profits, ambitious pioneers are working to develop new key deposits or are already securing multi-billion-dollar purchase agreements for the future. Current developments are already showing where the wheat is being separated from the chaff.

Cerebras, Volatus Aerospace, Standard Lithium: 3 Markets Poised for a Breakthrough
The next wave of investment is well underway. Billions are flowing into new AI data centres, Western nations are securing critical raw materials, and companies are increasingly automating tasks that previously had to be carried out by people, aeroplanes or helicopters. For investors, this creates opportunities that extend far beyond the well-known technology giants. Of particular interest are companies that provide the infrastructure for this development.

Almonty Industries, Freeport McMoRan, and Albemarle: Commodity Fever Rises Due to Structural Shortages
A major storm is brewing in the commodity markets. It is being driven by the transition to climate-neutral energy, extremely high demand for artificial intelligence and the computing power it requires, and global geopolitical conflicts. This wave does not appear to be a temporary flare-up, but rather the beginning of a long-term megatrend, as supply deficits continue to widen. While spikes in demand often provided the boost in previous commodity cycles, this time it is global supply chain risks and decades of underinvestment in the development of new commodity projects. Today, we take a closer look at tungsten producer Almonty Industries, copper producer Freeport McMoRan, and lithium producer Albemarle.

Standard Lithium Surges! Nordex Lands Major Order – Copper Rally and News Flow Drive Power Metallic Mines
Standard Lithium's share price has surged. Investors reacted positively to the update from the US lithium hopeful. According to the update, the company has met key prerequisites for the planned development of the South West Arkansas Project (SWA). Was the 20% rally in Power Metallic Mines just the beginning? The odds are good that it was. Analysts foresee significantly higher prices. Additionally, the copper rally is providing a boost, and important news is on the horizon. The high copper price should actually be causing problems for the wind energy industry. Yet there is currently no sign of that, as Nordex's latest major order demonstrates. The stock is currently taking a breather. Nevertheless, its year-to-date performance stands at over 25%.

The End of the Auto Industry Looms: Will Mercedes-Benz & Co. Find a Way Out? BYD as a Role Model, Rock Tech Lithium as a Problem-Solver
The auto industry is in the midst of a deep crisis, as evidenced not only by the news from Volkswagen. The availability of battery raw materials has become a critical factor for automakers. According to a survey by industry experts at Benchmark Minerals, global demand for lithium-ion batteries rose by 29% in 2025 to a total of 1.59 terawatt-hours. While stationary battery storage was the fastest-growing segment, the electric vehicle sector remains the dominant driver of demand in terms of volume. This trend is intensifying global competition for critical raw materials. China is leading the way here. The country controls an estimated 85% of global battery production and processes around 70% of the world's lithium. This poses a risk for Western automakers. They need to develop their own solutions. We analyze the situation and explore a potential solution.

The Unexpected Lithium Rally 2.0: Mercedes, Porsche AG, Rock Tech Lithium, and BASF in Focus
It has finally happened! The looming global power shortage is unexpectedly becoming a massive catalyst for a new boom in the commodities market, once again propelling lithium stocks into the spotlight. The renowned Fraunhofer Institute has reached the clear conclusion that European demand for high-purity lithium hydroxide will increase sixfold by 2030. Analysts explicitly emphasize that only companies with closed, regional supply chains will be able to successfully circumvent the looming production bottlenecks caused by power and raw material shortages. This is because Western industrialized nations aim to drastically reduce their dependence on Asia and rely on their own raw material reserves. For investors, this fundamental transformation builds a highly attractive bridge to the next generation of beneficiaries. While automotive groups such as Mercedes and Porsche are now radically securing their supply chains through partnerships, Rock Tech is poised to move into supplier status in the near future. The chemical company BASF, an indispensable partner for cathode materials, is also part of the picture. Savvy investors are using the current consolidation phase to position themselves early among the winners of this megatrend.

Three Stocks for a Strategic Portfolio? Samsung, Rock Tech Lithium, and SpaceX
This week saw a significant warning sign on global stock markets. In the Persian Gulf, the warring parties are once again exchanging fire. The price of oil rose, temporarily halting its downward trend. Meanwhile, some surprising developments are also unfolding in South Korea. The Kospi, the country's leading index, which is heavily weighted toward semiconductor stocks, is showing enormous volatility. Trading halts are occurring almost daily because share prices are moving too sharply up or down. And on Wall Street, volatility in the chip sector has recently increased, too. Share prices have seen significant profit-taking. Meanwhile, the space exploration stock SpaceX is becoming Wall Street's darling. Today, we take a look at the stocks of Samsung Electronics, Rock Tech Lithium, and SpaceX.

The Underrated Return Pillar: BYD, Rock Tech Lithium and Mercedes-Benz – Lithium Storage Boom Opening Up Opportunities
Green electromobility is technically ready to go, yet the true Achilles' heel of the electric revolution lies not on the road but in the raw-material supply. While politicians speak of sovereignty, the market is grappling with exploding demand for battery raw materials. This situation is amplified by energy storage for power grids. Anyone who now grasps the bigger picture recognizes the decisive shift in power in the global race between Chinese dominance and the West's drive for independence. This is exactly where the e-car giant BYD, the emerging lithium producer Rock Tech Lithium and the traditional group Mercedes-Benz come in, with opposing but equally trailblazing strategies.
