Explosive mix: Critical metals and e-mobility! BYD, Mercedes-Benz, Graphano Energy, and RENK in focus
E-mobility in Germany could gain fresh momentum in 2026, as the CDU wing of the federal government is pushing for the reintroduction of purchase incentives for electric vehicles, retroactively including those registered since the beginning of the year. There is still a need for discussion within the SPD due to other issues. German citizens are familiar with the nerve-wracking process of reaching compromises in Berlin, where a new law can only be passed with five other concessions to the coalition partner. This is how grand coalitions work: slowly and tenaciously. Regardless, the public has become accustomed to this carnival event, and for us, stock market traders, it is important to look at the possible effects of such subsidy decisions. According to estimates from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, available funding could support the purchase of up to 800,000 electric vehicles - roughly 1.6% of all registered vehicles in Germany. The planned incentives aim primarily to ease the transition to e-mobility for low- and middle-income households. Do not look a gift horse in the mouth! How are automotive stocks doing on the stock market?

Winning the race for critical raw materials: Standard Lithium, Power Metallic Mines, and Lynas Rare Earths under scrutiny
The new front line of the global economy does not run through war zones, but through mines and refineries. The strategic battle for critical raw materials is in full swing, driven by geopolitical tensions and the relentless pace of the energy transition and new technologies. Dependence on a few sources for essential materials has proven to be a massive vulnerability, now forcing nations into an unprecedented race for secure supply chains. In this race for supply sovereignty and technological leadership, three specialists are coming into focus: Standard Lithium, Power Metallic Mines, and Lynas Rare Earths.

Up 700% and still going strong! Almonty, Deutz, and Infineon under the microscope
It goes without saying that stocks that are performing well do not necessarily have to stop. Often, new business models only become interesting over time, or companies change their focus to become attractive targets for investors again. Almonty Industries is considered a representative of critical metals. The stock has risen 700% in the past 12 months. However, so much has changed in the group that analysts now have to recalculate here as well. Drive specialist Deutz is consistently focusing on military applications, and Infineon is discovering its relevance in solving energy problems in large computing facilities and in e-mobility. New concepts, new valuations – the world keeps turning! Where should investors get in now?

Antimony Resources: Three powerful drivers form the perfect antimony wave
While much of the investment world is rushing to tungsten and lithium, a great opportunity is emerging in the shadows. Antimony, a metal essential for flame retardants, defense, and electronics, is characterized by an overwhelming dependence on China and recurring export restrictions. Against this backdrop, Antimony Resources is advancing its flagship Bald Hill project in Canada with notable precision. The combination of exceptional geology, rising geopolitical urgency, and operational momentum could make the Company the unlikely winner of a new era of raw materials.

First Majestic reports, but the stock fails to benefit! Bayer continues to rise! Silver Viper takes off!
The upward trend in silver remains fully intact, and clear triple-digit price targets are circulating through the market. Yesterday, core holding First Majestic Silver reported on the fourth quarter and full year 2025. However, the stock failed to benefit from the news. Investors may find better opportunities in 2026 with Silver Viper shares. The silver explorer is undergoing a transformation and now holds three projects in Mexico. The most recent capital increase was met with strong demand, and drilling programs and results are expected in the current year. Looking at the share price chart of Bayer, one might think that the Leverkusen-based company had struck silver. The share price rose sharply in the first few days of the new year. However, analysts believe the upside potential has largely been exhausted.

Silver, gold, copper, and uranium - The stuff dreams are made of! Nel ASA, American Atomics, and Siemens Energy in focus
Commodities are off to a strong start again this year. As they are irreplaceable raw materials for industry, energy distribution, and e-mobility, high prices are also accelerating inflation in Western jurisdictions. With the exception of gold, critical metals have been trading at "safety premiums" for several months. This is a result of fragile supply chains, geopolitical constraints, and increasing supply uncertainty. Solar module manufacturers in China are now said to be hoarding silver because speculators are virtually buying up the procurement markets for physical goods. Silver has gained around 200% in the past 12 months, with physical demand now exceeding annual production. According to experts, this trend is far from over. Are portfolio rebalancing measures necessary?

Power Metallic Mines: Top Commodity Pick Backed by Renowned Investors!
Many market experts have proclaimed this the decade of commodities. Last year was dominated by a precious metals boom, with silver in particular seeing a sharp increase in momentum in recent weeks. Critical raw materials, such as rare earth elements and strategic metals, are also attracting significant attention. The market is dominated by China, and export restrictions put additional pressure on the West to develop new deposits outside of China and establish secure supply chains. This is putting companies that own properties in secure Western jurisdictions at the center of investor interest. One such company is Power Metallic Mines. The Canadians have one of the largest polymetallic deposits in North America. Several prominent investors have already taken positions, underscoring the Company's potential. Analysts also see significant upside for the stock.

The USD 88 shock: Are UBS and Citigroup forcing the silver market to its knees, or are we witnessing the ultimate short squeeze? Opportunities at Silver North Resources
The year is still young, and a drama is unfolding on the precious metals markets that could go down in history. The price of silver has shattered historical resistance levels and is trading above the USD 88 per ounce mark. What was long dismissed as the wild fantasy of "gold bugs" is now a harsh reality: a sudden decoupling of physical scarcity from paper-based pricing mechanisms. As the spot market explodes, all eyes are on the big players in the financial world. Rumors are growing louder that major banks such as UBS and Citigroup may have gotten themselves into dangerous trouble through massive short positions. In this toxic environment of mistrust and panic, investors are seeking refuge in unencumbered assets - and finding it in junior explorers such as Silver North Resources, which owns exactly what the banks are said to have shorted: physical silver in the ground, high-grade and safely located in Canada.

Silver boom with no end in sight! Strong price drivers for Silver Viper, First Majestic Silver, and Pan American Silver!
Silver has been underestimated for a long time, but that changed abruptly last year. The silver boom has been gaining momentum, especially in recent weeks. Currently, a troy ounce costs around USD 85. Like no other commodity, this precious metal combines two worlds – monetary security and a key industrial component. Analysts are increasingly raising their price targets, even beyond the USD 100 mark. The silver market is tight and sensitive to changing conditions. Past price developments reflect rising demand, supply bottlenecks, and a short squeeze. For silver producers and future miners of the precious metal, these are ideal conditions that should cause share prices to rise further.
