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.?

Rheinmetall, Power Nickel, Bloom Energy - Will the rally continue?
After a brief pause in recent weeks, the rally in Germany's leading index, the DAX, has continued unabated, with the target of 19,000 points already in sight. Defense stocks remain the undisputed top performers. Another sector that has taken center stage in recent weeks is commodities. In addition to gold, silver and copper, the industrial metals lithium and nickel are also forming solid foundations for the next upward impulse. Corresponding companies were already running ahead of the base value.

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.

First Majestic Silver, Desert Gold, Albemarle - Escalation paves the way
The events at the weekend, during which Iran carried out a massive airstrike on Israel for the first time, are likely to have escalated the already troubled geopolitics to a new level. It is not yet known whether Israel is planning a counter-attack. Precious metals gold and silver are once again likely to benefit from the uncertainties following the rather weak close to the week. The yellow precious metal could recapture the USD 2,400 per ounce mark, which could also boost the shares of producers and gold exploration companies.

Bitcoin and Stromer need the energy transition! BYD, Edison Lithium, Nikola - Is it time to buy low?
Despite recent declines in electric mobility, the development of traction batteries is breaking new ground. Sodium is under discussion to replace toxic lithium. The new technologies also mean that cobalt and nickel are no longer required. Former lithium companies are changing their business models, but the raw material will still be urgently needed for at least another decade. We are looking at a market that is about to change course. Where do the opportunities lie for agile investors?

Glencore, Almonty Industries, Albemarle - Commodities on the verge of a rebound
The first quarter of the stock market year 2024 is already history, and despite many disruptive factors, it has turned out better than many expected. Germany's leading index, the DAX, achieved growth of almost 11% and reached a new all-time high. The precious metal gold also reached the highest level in its history at USD 2,233 per ounce at the end of the quarter. In contrast, important commodities needed for the climate and energy transition are lagging. After months of bottoming out, copper, tungsten and lithium offer attractive entry opportunities at the current levels.
