Who benefits, who suffers? The raw materials crisis in e-mobility: BYD, Graphano Energy, and Volkswagen
The future of mobility is being decided in the battery factory. Innovative battery cells promise longer ranges and lower costs, but the road to getting there is marked by a fierce race for scarce raw materials and technological supremacy. This tension between disruptive progress and geopolitical risks creates unique opportunities for companies that navigate the transformation strategically. Today, we take a closer look at how BYD, Graphano Energy, and Volkswagen are currently positioning themselves.

Barrick Mining and Kobo Resources: Gold as security – Occidental Petroleum: Energy as opportunity
In an era of geopolitical upheaval and monetary policy experimentation, tangible assets are gaining strategic importance. Gold remains a fundamental store of value, while the transformation of the energy sector is driving demand for critical raw materials. Even oil, despite volatile prices, retains its status as a geopolitical lever. In this environment, companies with access to these resources are well-positioned. Three players are in focus: the gold producer Barrick Mining, the exploration specialist Kobo Resources, and the oil and gas company Occidental Petroleum.

DAX volatility and dream profits with gold at USD 4,300! Barrick Mining, Kobo Resources, Rheinmetall, and DroneShield
Despite its stable upward trend, gold remains a volatile asset, as last week clearly demonstrated. Short-term fluctuations of 3 to 5% were not uncommon, but they offer speculative investors attractive entry and profit opportunities. Following the trend, major US investment houses have raised their forecasts for the yellow metal: Goldman Sachs forecasts around USD 4,900 per ounce by the end of 2026, while Bank of America has mentioned the USD 5,000 mark for the first time. It will be interesting to see how small and large gold stocks such as Kobo Resources and Barrick Mining perform. Rheinmetall and DroneShield did not have a good week recently. Although they continue to benefit from the global arms race, their share prices came under heavy pressure. What to do now?

MP Materials, Globex Mining, Almonty Industries – Entry opportunity after the "ceasefire"
Following the parabolic rise in critical raw material stocks in recent weeks, sharp corrections set in at the end of last week. The trigger was that US Treasury Secretary Bessent proposed a trade "ceasefire" with the world's second-largest economy, China. However, producers of rare earths and tungsten will likely continue to experience long-term gains due to persistent scarcity. As a result, the recent consolidation offers attractive entry opportunities, particularly among Western suppliers.

E-mobility and hydrogen take off – BYD, Nio, Graphano Energy, and Plug Power in focus!
The German government is resolutely driving forward the transition to e-mobility by 2035 - a clear signal at a time when climate targets and energy dependence are the subject of intense debate. The market for electric vehicles is benefiting from innovations in battery technologies and a growing charging infrastructure. Advances in solid-state batteries, silicon anodes, and new cathode materials are significantly increasing range, performance, and safety. Faster charging times and longer service life are making the switch increasingly attractive for consumers. At the same time, recycling processes and the circular economy are gaining in importance to conserve resources and promote sustainability. With government support and growing competition, enormous opportunities are emerging for manufacturers and investors. But while electromobility is booming, hydrogen is also increasingly becoming the focus of the energy transition as a complementary technology. Investors are free to decide where to invest for the best returns.

Three stocks, one trend: Jump on the momentum bandwagon with Almonty Industries, AMD, and ASML
The stock market often rewards those who recognize a trend before it becomes mainstream. This is not about short-term speculation, but about identifying companies with strong fundamental tailwinds that can drive prices higher over the long term. This momentum is fueled by structural factors: global technology shifts, geopolitical realignments, and the reorganization of critical supply chains. There is a reason why the saying goes: Go with the flow! Almonty Industries, AMD, and ASML each embody these powerful forces and currently have strong momentum on their side. Let's take a closer look.

Gold continues to soar to USD 4,200, critical metals in a panic storm! MP Materials, AJN Resources and Standard Lithium
The US government has declared a state of emergency regarding critical metals. Due to disrupted trade policies with China, Beijing is threatening to halt the supply of key metals and rare earths completely. Will the tariff threats from the Trump administration help? It is doubtful, as China clearly holds the upper hand. Western industrial powers have long understood the stakes. Building domestic mining operations takes time and money, but it is urgently necessary. Investors can benefit from the panic scenarios of recent weeks because commodity markets have been lying in wait for years and are now being hit by an immeasurable flood of money. Where should investors position themselves now?

Tungsten – Where the critical element is irreplaceable: Almonty, LAM Research, Rheinmetall
In recent days, the share price of tungsten producer Almonty Industries has known only one direction: upward. But why is there suddenly such hype surrounding a raw material that, only a few years ago, was known only to experts? The answer is clear: for decades, China lulled Western buyers into a false sense of security and drove foreign mine operators into bankruptcy through dumping prices. Today, Almonty remains the only major tungsten producer in the West, while numerous industries urgently depend on this critical element. We take a closer look at the demand structure of this unique high-tech and defense metal.

Supply chains on the NASDAQ! Critical metals sold out? What is next for Almonty - Caution advised with Rheinmetall, Deutz, and RENK
Snip-Snap! In and out of the markets! At the moment, all stock market wisdom applies, because there is nothing more unpredictable for investors than the current US president. And who would have thought that the critical metal supply chains would suddenly become a major driving force behind the NASDAQ rally? Just as Xi Jinping threw rare metals into the ring as a bargaining chip, Donald Trump blew a fuse. Punitive tariffs of up to 100% were suddenly on the table, and the markets went into a tailspin. Yet just one trading day later, everything is put into perspective, and the markets have to find their new valuation point – no easy task. Yesterday, nervousness returned, as reflected in a sharp rise in the volatility index. What should investors be keeping a close eye on now?

Volkswagen in a tight spot: Why European Lithium and Standard Lithium are now the more valuable players
The global electric vehicle revolution is facing its biggest test yet. China's looming export restrictions on critical battery raw materials threaten to destabilize Western manufacturers' supply chains from 2025 and increase production costs. But it is precisely these geopolitical tensions that are catapulting independent lithium producers into the spotlight. While established giants are fighting for their security of supply, agile players are benefiting from this power vacuum. The strategic maneuvers of Volkswagen, European Lithium, and Standard Lithium reveal who the real winners of this upheaval will be.
