Tariff chaos as a springboard: How Volkswagen, European Lithium, and BYD are securing future profits
The global automotive industry is in a quandary: New US punitive tariffs of up to 50% on imported vehicles threaten to sideline European manufacturers. Even though Donald Trump is giving Europe more time for negotiations, the tariffs are still on the table. These tariffs would result in a slump in exports and shrinking margins. But there is also an opportunity amid the chaos. Those who strengthen local supply chains, drive forward electric innovations, and cooperate strategically will dominate tomorrow's market. Therefore, we look at two major automakers, Volkswagen and BYD, and analyze European Lithium, which will become very important for European supply chains.

Bayer, Desert Gold, Snowflake – Breakout imminent
US President Donald Trump's tariff hammer against the European Union caused stock markets to falter at the close of the trading week, but the postponement of the measures by four weeks eased tensions over the weekend. As a result, Germany's leading index, the DAX, got off to a flying start to the week, regaining the 24,000-point mark. However, uncertainties remain, meaning the safe haven gold could once again rise to new highs.

This commodity rule no longer applies: Barrick Gold, BHP Group, Globex Mining

Cameco, Energy Fuels, Almonty Industries, Vonovia – Trump decision causes stocks to explode
US President Donald Trump is again flexing his muscles and sent stock markets worldwide into a tailspin at the end of the week. This time, his chosen target is not China or Russia, but instead Europe, which the Republican is hitting with his tariff hammer and threatening with import tariffs of 50%. Another plan to be implemented in the United States in the short term by decree is the acceleration of reactor approvals, which has led to double-digit gains for uranium stocks. The aim is to minimize dependence on energy imports.

Almonty Industries: Why is the share price set to multiply, and is the supply chain breaking down?
In corporate development, there are various triggers for growth spurts and rising profits. At Almonty Industries (TSX: AII), the reason is clear: the Company will begin operating one of the world's largest tungsten mines in South Korea this summer. While other mining projects often still have to contend with lengthy approval processes or environmental regulations, and often offer little realistic prospect of success, Almonty is on the verge of expanding its production to such an extent that it could meet the entire demand of the US in the future. Those looking to invest in tungsten should go for the "original" – Almonty shares. The situation on the tungsten market is now so tense that the price in Shanghai has risen to a 12-year high of over USD 56 per kg. Accordingly, the profitability of Almonty's mines in Portugal and South Korea is likely to increase further. Uncertain times lie ahead for defense companies such as Hensoldt, Renk, Rheinmetall, and their suppliers. When will the supply chain break down? – More on this in the report.

RAW MATERIALS and DEFENSE! Sell Hensoldt? Buy Deutz and Globex Mining shares?
Raw materials and defense remain among the hot topics of the year. Globex Mining is benefiting not only from the gold boom but also from the battle for raw materials. The stock of the mining incubator currently offers an exciting entry opportunity. Analysts recommend buying Deutz. However, after a solid quarter, the engine manufacturer needs to shift up a gear or two to justify its valuation. A highlight was the development in order intake. This is precisely what Hensoldt is lacking. When a growth company's revenue increases more strongly than its order intake, investors should at least keep an eye on it. Analysts are also skeptical regarding Hensoldt's valuation and recommend selling the stock.

100% buying frenzy at Palantir, investors look to D-Wave, European Lithium, and SMCI
First the sell-off, then a new high for the year. Investors can speculate about which of the recent erratic movements was the "right" one. A 20% correction in response to unresolved tariff claims was followed by a 30% rally to new highs of over 23,900 points on the DAX 40 index. The NASDAQ saw an even sharper correction, with tech stock Palantir halving in value before doubling again within four weeks. In between, Q1 figures were released that, in truth, merely met expectations. SMCI and D-Wave Quantum are now back in the spotlight due to their high beta. For those focusing on Greenland and strategic metals, European Lithium is worth a closer look. We help with the analysis.

Exploding profits? BYD's exports, Power Metallic Mines' drilling, Mercedes-Benz's tariff tactics
The mobility transition is accelerating, but the road to an electric future is fraught with dynamics and dilemmas. While global demand for electric vehicles is exploding, shortages of key raw materials such as nickel, copper, lithium, and cobalt threaten to slow down ambitions. Innovations in recycling, alternative materials, and ethical sourcing are becoming a decisive competitive advantage. At the same time, new technologies and government subsidies are pushing the market into an era full of opportunities. Three players are at the center of this upheaval: BYD as a battery pioneer, Power Metallic Mines as a raw material supplier, and Mercedes-Benz as a premium manufacturer, who are jointly rewriting the rules of the green revolution.

Another 150%+ with Almonty stock? US defense industry and NASDAQ listing drive revaluation of the tungsten gem!
The revaluation of Almonty shares is progressing excellently and gaining new momentum. After rising over 150% within six months, the tungsten gem has consolidated healthily in recent weeks. However, there are good reasons to expect further price increases: China is using tungsten as a weapon in the geopolitical power struggle. The latest major order for Almonty from the US shows how urgently defense companies – but also other key industries – need this critical metal. An upcoming NASDAQ listing is expected to drive the share price and could pave the way for an anchor investor or even lead to a takeover. Analysts consider the fair value of Almonty shares well above the current level.
