Trump backs down! Investors rejoice with BYD, Power Metallic, Nio, and Deutz
The markets are in turmoil. "Fast market," shouts a trader as prices fluctuate by the second. With news coming in at such a rapid pace, investors' nerves are on edge. But for level-headed investors, there are now bargains to be had that were missing just months ago. However, the selection is not easy because international customs policy also plays a role alongside company balance sheets. If punitive tariffs of over 100% are not withdrawn, the automotive sector could even face a total market collapse. Consumers at the end of the chain will not want to and cannot pay the artificially inflated prices. The economy would inevitably collapse. We are looking at stable business models with medium-term opportunities.

Almonty Industries - Trade restrictions are not always a bad thing; they can also represent a real opportunity
Trade restrictions, particularly China's recent export restrictions on critical metals and rare earths, have put pressure on the global economy. According to a report by Reuters, China has warned South Korean companies against supplying products containing Chinese rare earth minerals to US defense companies. However, these developments open up opportunities for Western companies like Almonty Industries to strengthen their security of supply and position themselves as reliable partners in critical supply chains. Investors looking for long-term, stable investment options, in particular, should take a closer look at the potential of Almonty Industries.

40% SHARE PRICE EXPLOSION! Commodity war drives Standard Lithium and BMW partner European Lithium! News from Evotec!
Price explosion at Standard Lithium! The share price rose by more than 40% yesterday. The joint venture with Norwegian energy company Equinor has been classified as a "critical mineral project" by the US government. This indicates that the raw materials war with China goes far beyond rare earths. European Lithium has lithium and rare earths to offer. The stock is a real bargain, as illustrated by the new details on the rare earth project in Greenland. Talks are already underway with defense companies from the US and Europe, and analysts see multiplication potential. Evotec shareholders had likely hoped for a somewhat bigger price explosion following the presentation of the new corporate strategy. However, the biotech company is bidding farewell to its strong growth trajectory.

The end of the dollar? Deutsche Bank, Newmont, and Desert Gold
The independence of the central bank is a valuable asset that is highly valued by investors. Once again, US President Donald Trump has shaken the independence of the Fed and raised the possibility of dismissing US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. The reason: While the ECB cut interest rates on Maundy Thursday, Powell wants to wait and see how the tariffs affect the dollar zone before he adjusts interest rates. Powell's dismissal could have fatal consequences for the capital markets.

Almonty Industries – Escalation level raised
The trade war between the US and China reached a new level last week. On "Liberation Day", US President Trump raised punitive tariffs to an incredible 125%, prompting China to respond with export controls on rare earth metals that are essential for the manufacture of electric motors, batteries, and magnets, as well as for the defense industry. Similar restrictions on gallium, germanium, and tungsten have also been in place since the end of last year. At least in the case of tungsten, which is needed for use in armor-piercing ammunition, for example, there are signs of easing tensions with the start of production at the Sangdong mine in South Korea. The operating company's share price, Almonty Industries, has partially met expectations in recent months, but analysts believe it still holds significant upside potential.

How hedge funds are now betting on gold: Amazon, Barrick Gold, and Golden Cariboo Resources
"Asset managers and hedge funds are seeking refuge in gold," read the headline in Handelsblatt in the week before Easter. But what is driving the rush for the precious metal? In addition to the considerable uncertainty surrounding the trade tariff dispute, investment professionals are also turning to safe havens due to growing geopolitical risks. But what options do investors have beyond coins and bars? We look at how investors can indirectly bet on the precious metal through stocks.

Gold price soon to reach USD 4,000! Profit with gold gem Tocvan Ventures! Share about to be taken over?
Will the tariff hammer be followed by a currency war? Speculation about the devaluation of the US dollar is already rife on the capital markets. One sign of this is that central banks are continuing to buy gold on a massive scale. After the price per troy ounce easily surpassed USD 3,300 last week, analysts are now targeting the USD 4,000 mark. The current environment makes it clear that gold belongs in every diversified portfolio. Tocvan Ventures is an exciting opportunity to jump on the gold bandwagon. The project in Mexico is at an advanced stage and is set to be developed into a world-class operation. After more than four years of exploration work, the project is expected to be given the green light in 2025. The share price has finally taken off, still has a lot of upside potential, should receive mining approval this year and offers takeover speculation.

Gold in focus, Defense accelerates again – Agnico Eagle, Golden Cariboo, Hensoldt, and RENK in focus
The daily theatrics are hard to beat. US President Donald Trump is engaging in slapstick and snubbing long-standing trading partners. In his own country, he leaves no stone unturned in his efforts to counterbalance the nearly USD 36 trillion national debt through savings and additional revenues. This creates great uncertainty in the stock markets and causes economic institutes to calculate more precisely whether, instead of growth, a recession may be looming. But perhaps it is all just a test to force political partners to the table. However, the threat of inflation means that precious metals remain in focus. Unresolved geopolitical conflicts also continue to drive defense machinery forward. Here, a volume in the triple-digit billion range is expected, which will result in revenue in the coming years. The train is running at full steam!

Tariff madness drives gold! Caution advised with Barrick, Globex Mining, Mutares, and Steyr
Every day brings a new spectacle from the White House. What resembles a farce is, unfortunately, a harsh reality. The new president, Donald Trump, leaves no doubt about who dictates the conditions in global trade. But even Mr. Universe has to row back now and then because experts have a clever piece of advice or two on how to avoid completely running the US into the ground. After all, the proclaimed tariffs threaten a severe cooling of the global economy and a surge in inflation - a perfect opportunity for precious metal investments. Due to the general uncertainty, defense stocks also remain in focus. We do the math.

Tungsten supply remains challenging: Almonty Industries strategically well-positioned
For years, observers have been calling for Europe to develop its own dedicated raw materials strategy. It has been clear for more than a decade that Germany's industry, in particular, needs security of supply. However, instead of securing tangible ownership or at least reliable partnerships, the focus has long been on fair-weather diplomacy and the "principle of hope". With the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), the EU aims to mine at least 10% of its required strategic raw materials domestically by 2030. Furthermore, 40% of this is to be processed within the community. For Lewis Black, CEO of tungsten and molybdenum producer Almonty Industries, these are steps in the right direction. But are they coming too late?
