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.

Momentum plays with a new wave: Almonty Industries and Rheinmetall – what is Gerresheimer doing?
The trade dispute between the US and China appears to be entering the next round. Late last week, US President Trump announced his intention to impose additional punitive tariffs of 100% on Chinese goods. The measures are expected to take effect by November at the latest. This follows China's decision to tighten export controls on certain technologies and raw materials. China holds many critical raw materials and is gradually restricting their export. While consumers face major challenges in view of the shortage of demand and rising prices, producers of these raw materials are among the stock market favorites.

Raw materials war sends industry into panic – New buyers enter the resource sector: SAP, Barrick Mining, Globex Mining
Industry and the commodities sector are in turmoil. China's latest trade restrictions on critical raw materials are causing widespread uncertainty. Last week, China announced its intention to severely restrict exports of rare earths. In addition, raw materials that can serve military purposes will no longer be allowed to leave the country. Also on the list: Chinese expertise related to the extraction and processing of these raw materials. The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) has already quoted a China expert who sees a new dimension of extraterritoriality in these measures. Here is what investors should keep in mind now.

Tilray, Graphano Energy, Arafura Rare Earths – Battle for raw materials intensifies
While the US appeared to be heading for a trade war with China on Friday, US President Donald Trump posted a message on his social media platform, "Truth Social", on Sunday, giving a slight all-clear. But is this really the end of the dispute between the world's two largest economies? Hardly. In fact, the battle for critical raw materials is likely to intensify in the coming months, if not years, meaning Western producers could benefit disproportionately.

Why RENK Group needs Antimony Resources just as much as the largest US defense contractor, RTX
The global defense industry is facing a fundamental supply crisis. Antimony, a largely overlooked metal that is indispensable for high-performance electronics, armor-piercing alloys, and flame-resistant propulsion systems, is becoming a key strategic factor. Prices are skyrocketing, and massive supply bottlenecks are emerging. This shortage is hitting defense giants and suppliers hard, forcing them to radically rethink their procurement strategy. Today, we take a closer look at the current situation of the RENK Group, the explorer Antimony Resources, and the largest US defense contractor RTX.

Why smart investors should be looking at Gerresheimer, Desert Gold, and Puma NOW!
The true potential of a portfolio is revealed not in calm markets, but in turbulent ones.

Winners in the tariff war: Almonty Industries, MP Materials, Bayer
Stock market turmoil on Friday: Donald Trump once again threatens to wield the tariff club. This came in response to China's announcement to tighten export controls on rare earths. Yet, there are also winners in the raw materials battle between the two superpowers. In recent months, the US government has invested in companies such as MP Materials, focusing so far on rare earths and lithium. Will tungsten be next? This critical metal has not been mined in the US for a long time, and Almonty would be the logical partner to change that. Notably, while US stocks lost ground, in some cases heavily, on Friday, Almonty shares recovered significantly from their intraday lows.
