Rheinmetall, European Lithium, and Intel: Geopolitical tensions are shaping technology and commodity markets
The tensions between the US and Europe in the context of the Ukraine conflict are already showing far-reaching economic changes on both sides of the Atlantic. The EU is preparing an enormous EUR 700 billion aid package for Ukraine. Given this news, the share price of the German arms company Rheinmetall is continuing to rise. After breaking through the EUR 900 mark, analysts expect four-digit prices in the near future. Europe needs to become less dependent on raw materials. With the explorer European Lithium and its lithium property in Carinthia, Austria, this can be achieved step by step because the demand for the battery metal is unabated. On the other side of the Atlantic, semiconductor giant Intel is undergoing major restructuring: a possible split caused the share price to jump by 13%. This may enable Intel to regain its competitiveness against rivals such as AMD and Nvidia.

SHARE PRICES are falling at Plug Power, Nel, and Hensoldt! BUY RECOMMENDATION for BMW partner European Lithium!
Buy opportunity or bankruptcy? Shares in Plug Power, Nel, and Hensoldt are under pressure these days. The former hydrogen favorites are facing one piece of bad news after another. After mass layoffs at Nel, the next catastrophe comes from Plug Power. Investors are also getting nervous about Rheinmetall, Renk, and Hensoldt. Is a correction looming? Analysts believe the correction at Hensoldt should be seen as a buying opportunity. At BMW partner European Lithium, analysts even see potential for a multiple increase in value. The stock, which focuses on lithium and rare earths, has gained traction, and the current consolidation offers an exciting entry opportunity. Even peace in Ukraine could benefit these companies.

Siemens Energy, European Lithium, BYD – Lithium: short-term pressure, long-term opportunities
Even though the lithium price is at rock bottom, many indicators are signalling a long-term recovery of the lithium market. Demand for lithium-ion batteries is being fueled by the increased use of electric vehicles and the expansion of renewable energies. At the same time, producers are already reacting with project delays and mine closures, which could create short-term supply bottlenecks. Given that the EU sources 79% of its lithium from China, a possible trade war should prompt the EU to seek alternatives. Analysts expect a stabilization by 2026 at the latest as the energy transition is progressing. Those who believe in the further electrification of the world should invest now, as the long-term prospects are promising.

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.

D-Wave, European Lithium, BYD – Silicon Valley, the Alps, China: The tech axis of the future
The digital revolution is advancing in quantum leaps: the Silicon Valley company D-Wave is accelerating conventional computing processes by a factor of 2,000 with its groundbreaking quantum computing technology. Analysts predict that its share price will double this year. The Austrian company European Lithium is profiting from the unbroken demand for the same raw material. With its property in beautiful Carinthia, the exploration and mining company has the potential to take the lead among European lithium producers. Automaker BMW is already on board, having invested millions. Analysts predict a growth of 500% for European Lithium shares. In this phase of transformation, shifts in power are also becoming apparent: BYD, originally a battery manufacturer and now China's largest electric vehicle producer, plans to take over two German Volkswagen plants – a symbolic turning point in European industrial history. Where are the best opportunities for investors?

BASF, Globex Mining, BP – Industrial giants in transition: Billion-dollar lawsuits, the lithium boom, and the turbulence of the energy transition
The global raw materials and energy industry is undergoing a profound transformation: established oil companies like BP are struggling with profit warnings and feeling the pain of the transformation that the energy transition and changing demand are forcing upon them. The goal is to include more renewable energy sources in the portfolio. The existing shareholders are not particularly enthusiastic about this. Meanwhile, the increasing demand for electric mobility is opening up new opportunities in the raw materials sector – the Canadian company Globex Mining is scoring points here with a clever business model and promising lithium discoveries. Investors benefit from the mining company's numerous properties and extensive raw materials portfolio. In contrast, BASF has filed a lawsuit against competitors in the amount of EUR 1.4 billion at the Munich District Court. Four companies are said to have made unfair price agreements; BASF wants fair competition. Read more about the strategies of the three global players.

Volkswagen undervalued! What about European Lithium and BYD?
Looking at the market for electric vehicles in Germany, the outlook seems bleak. However, taking a broader view, the global picture tells a different story. Battery production is also steadily rising, driving a growing demand for lithium. Currently, the lithium supply is still sufficient, but experts predict that by 2030 demand will exceed supply. The reason for this is not only the automotive industry but also the demand for energy storage for renewable energies. We take a look at three companies and their current situation.

+500% return in 2025 with D-Wave, Plug Power, or BMW partner European Lithium stock?
500% price gain in 2 months! This is extraordinary but possible, as D-Wave's share price demonstrated at the end of 2024. Analysts believe that European Lithium's share price is capable of a similar price jump. Maybe not in 2 months, but there is massive upside potential expected by March. Experts believe that lithium can make a comeback in the new year. BMW partner European Lithium, with deposits in Austria and Ireland, should benefit from this. Additionally, the Company has other valuable resources, including rare earth elements. Plug Power shareholders are hoping for a hydrogen comeback. Can the turnaround succeed, or is insolvency looming at the start of the year? By contrast, quantum computing is likely to continue to electrify the stock market in the new year. So, will the rally continue for D-Wave & Co.?

Canopy Growth, Globex Mining and Rock Tech Lithium with strong signals
Now that the precious metals gold and silver are taking a breather after a rally, other markets are becoming the focus of investor interest. In addition to copper, which is likely to reach new highs in the medium term due to supply shortages, lithium, an industrial metal essential for electromobility, continues to work on bottoming out. However, the highlight of the past week in terms of volatility was cannabis stocks, which are expected to remain in focus in the coming weeks.
