Drone wall for Europe! Almonty, DroneShield, and Hensoldt – Defense stocks taking off again!
The past few weeks have shown that Europe has been asleep at the wheel on drone defense. In Denmark, Poland, and Germany, these small aircraft are almost impossible to detect, and when they are, current countermeasures are inefficient and costly. At the EU summit in Copenhagen, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned of the "most serious threat since World War II" and called for urgent investment. Billions must now flow into radar systems, jammers, and interception technologies. This is electrifying defense stocks. Almonty, at the beginning of the value chain, supplies tungsten, a critical material also used in drones and missiles. Hensoldt, with its expertise in detection systems, is investing heavily in new solutions. Can DroneShield justify its billion-dollar valuation?

DAX breaks 24,000 – E-mobility booming! Keep an eye on BYD, Pasinex Resources, Nordex, and Siemens Energy
In the third quarter of 2025, the global e-mobility market once again grew strongly: more than 4.2 million new electric vehicles were registered worldwide, an increase of around 28% over the previous year. China remains by far the largest single market, but Europe is also recording double-digit growth rates, driven by manufacturers such as BYD, Tesla, and Volkswagen. At the same time, investment in new battery technology is increasing in order to secure the rising demand in the long term. The raw material zinc is becoming increasingly important, not only for corrosion protection and alloys, but also as a key component in innovative zinc-air batteries, which could represent a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to lithium. This development underscores how closely raw material markets and e-mobility growth are intertwined. Here are a few investment ideas.

Graphite problem solvers with small valuation: SGL Carbon, Mercedes-Benz, Graphano Energy
Battery-grade graphite is classified as a critical element in both the US and the EU. The reason: supply chains have been too dependent on China. Recent geopolitical shifts have caused decision-makers on both sides of the Atlantic to rethink their approach to graphite and other critical raw materials. Secure sources are now in high demand. At the same time, sustainability and environmental protection remain key requirements for projects. In this article, we explain the latest developments in the graphite market and how investors can benefit from them.

Buckle up for the new precious metals era: Barrick Mining, Silver North Resources, and First Majestic Silver in focus
The signs are pointing to a new precious metals era. Driven by geopolitical upheaval, persistent inflation, and unprecedented demand from central banks, gold and silver are reaching new record highs. While gold shines as a safe haven, silver is also benefiting from the industrial boom, for example, in solar technology. This unique constellation opens up extraordinary opportunities for investors. Against this backdrop, it is worth taking a closer look at three companies. We analyze industry leader Barrick Mining, the exploration company Silver North, and the gold and silver producer First Majestic Silver.

How BYD Leverages Its Lead, How Power Metallic Mines Benefits, and Why Mercedes-Benz Needs to Catch Up
The next phase of electromobility has begun. It is no longer vehicle sales that determine the winners and losers, but rather the fierce battle for the raw materials used in their construction. While demand for copper, lithium, nickel, and cobalt is exploding, supply bottlenecks and political dependencies threaten to slow down the profitable ramp-up. Those who secure the most valuable resources today will control the entire market tomorrow. Reason enough to take a closer look at the strategic moves of BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Mercedes-Benz, which are now setting the course for the coming decade.

Almonty Industries, Gerresheimer, BASF – It is not too late yet!
The race for critical high-tech goods and raw materials is already underway. The COVID-19 pandemic painfully highlighted the downsides of a globally interconnected economy. China's export ban on critical raw materials is currently having a double impact, as the country dominates the market. This effect is expected to continue to intensify in the future as demand continues to rise dynamically while supply increases only slowly. This provides a strong tailwind for raw material producers, but poses significant challenges for companies in other sectors.

Antimony Resources, Rheinmetall, Novo Nordisk – Something is in the air!
Sufficient access to raw materials is crucial for any economy. The EU has compiled a list of 34 critical raw materials. How critical a raw material is classified depends on two parameters: "economic importance" and "supply risk." This list also includes a little-known but very important metalloid – antimony. The price of antimony skyrocketed at the end of 2024 in the wake of China's export ban. There are still exciting investment opportunities in this area.

Barrick Mining, Desert Gold, Aura Minerals – Epic rally with no end in sight
The price of gold has once again reached a new all-time high, amid a global environment fraught with uncertainty. Driven by geopolitical tensions, simmering inflation fears, and record-high debt levels in many countries, the precious metal continues to take center stage. Central banks are buying more gold than they have in decades, while investors are rushing into physical gold, ETFs, and mining stocks. Experts expect another bull run, even beyond the magic mark of USD 4,000 per ounce.

Is the industrial heart of Europe dying? Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, AJN Resources
Uncertainty in Germany is greater than ever: Increasingly, companies in the automotive industry are cutting jobs. According to industry experts at EY, around 51,100 jobs were lost in the automotive industry within a year, corresponding to around 7% of all jobs. Companies in other sectors are also making cuts. Most recently, Lufthansa also laid off staff. This bad news is accompanied by a worrying mood of doom and gloom among the German population – especially in the traditionally wealthy southwest of the country. In this article, we explain how the industrial giants Porsche and Mercedes-Benz are faring and why more and more investors are turning their attention to gold stocks as a result.
