First Phosphate, Volkswagen, BYD – The automotive industry is in a flurry again
Donald Trump is wasting no time. On the day of his swearing-in, he signed several decrees and explicitly mentioned higher tariffs in his inaugural address. The new External Revenue Service will be responsible for working out exactly what these will look like. Trump wants to close the loopholes, such as imports via Mexico, in order to protect and strengthen his own economy. This is a disaster for the European automotive industry in particular because, after the difficulties in China, there is a risk of further losses in the second-largest sales market. In addition, vehicle manufacturers need more powerful batteries in their electric vehicles. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are becoming more and more popular for this purpose. However, there is a bottleneck here as well. We take a closer look at the automotive market.

XXIX Metal, Apple, D-Wave - Three beneficiaries of the 500-billion-dollar AI revolution
At high speed, the US government announces the "Stargate" project - a historic USD 500 billion investment in the country's AI infrastructure. The strategic partnership between tech giants such as OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle will include the construction of 20 state-of-the-art data centres. Initial construction work in Texas has already begun. Tons of copper will be needed to build the infrastructure and data centres, which means golden times are dawning for copper exploration companies. On the one hand, demand for copper is increasing due to rapid technological advances, and on the other hand, analysts say that the price of copper could double this year. Microsoft and Nvidia emphasize the strategic importance of healthcare in the AI deal. This is precisely where Apple has an opportunity for the future. If they manage to make a breakthrough with the Apple Watch in the diabetes market, there is the potential for billions of dollars in profits. D-Wave, a quantum computer manufacturer, also seems to be on the fast track. The Silicon Valley company produces, among other things, energy-efficient AI computing solutions. Music to the ears of investors...

Trump is back! NATO rearmament with Rheinmetall, Renk, Hensoldt and Nova Pacific Metals
After a grand inauguration night, the 47th US President Donald Trump is diving straight into government business. The first decrees include an exit from the WHO and the Paris Climate Agreement. At the same time, he repeated his demand that NATO countries drastically increase their investment budgets if they expect to continue to be protected by the US. What this could mean for the planet is alarming. For the stock market, this means getting out of Greentech stocks and into high-tech and defense for the time being. Strategic metals are also coming back into focus because nothing will move forward without them. Where can investors still make a return now?

F3 Uranium, Plug Power, RWE - Opportunities and challenges from Trump's energy emergency
The election of Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States is already having an impact on global energy policy and its players. Shortly after taking office, Trump declared a "National Energy Emergency" to secure the country's energy supply and reduce reliance on foreign energy companies. This presents a new opportunity for the Canadian explorer company F3 Uranium to accelerate its uranium exploration in Canada, as relaxed environmental regulations can speed up approval procedures. With 95 nuclear power plants, the US is an ideal consumer of the valuable raw material. Hydrogen expert Plug Power, on the other hand, has already seen its share price fall on the stock market. Just two days before Trump's inauguration, the Company secured a multi-billion-dollar loan guarantee under former President Biden for the expansion of its hydrogen facilities. The German energy company RWE appears largely unfazed by the change of government. Analysts at Deutsche Bank remain optimistic about the stock's growth potential, noting that existing wind farm projects seem unaffected by the energy emergency. We look at what the current developments mean for investors.

Caution advised with Nordex and Plug Power! Momentum stock Globex Mining continues to rise!
The stock of Globex Mining is currently very momentum-driven. With its gold projects, the mining incubator is one of the winners of the Trump presidency. Additionally, there is more positive news from its risk-diversified resource portfolio. The chart also looks positive. The stock is marching towards its all-time high and remains attractively priced. In contrast, there has been a shock at Nordex! In his inaugural speech, the new US president has already put pressure on the wind energy sector, which he despises. If it were up to him, all wind projects in the US would be stopped! Furthermore, news from the industry adds to the strain. Plug Power is also among the Trump losers. At least the outgoing US president left a farewell gift worth billions. What is next for these shares?

Stock market driven by Donald Trump: Renk, Bitcoin, Barrick Gold, First Nordic Metals
Since yesterday, Donald Trump is again US president. And the Trump Trades such as Bitcoin, gold and defense continue to rise. The US president's own meme coin caused a stir over the weekend. At the same time, gold is setting its sights on an all-time high. The stocks in the sector should also benefit from this. Barrick Gold was one of the disappointments in 2024. Will the gold giant now start a new buying wave in the industry? New impetus could come in February. First Nordic Metals might be interesting for one of the large gold producers. The Company has exciting projects in Scandinavia and is implementing an extensive drilling program in 2025. The stock is cheap. At the turn of the year, investors likely also found Renk's stock too cheap. After a disappointing performance in 2024, the share price picked up in the new year. Analysts see further upside potential.

The stock market boom continues – Power Nickel, BYD, Bitcoin, and MicroStrategy are soaring, and thyssenkrupp is turning a corner!
The stock market started the new year at full speed. Chart analysts see the DAX reaching 21,500 points as early as January! Yesterday, the stock markets in the US were closed for Martin Luther King Day, but Donald Trump was sworn in again as the 47th President. Storm clouds are currently a rarity, and corrections have been limited to just a few hours. Investors have to keep pace with this speed to achieve returns. Stagnation or even setbacks are seen only in Germany's GDP, which has declined for the second consecutive year. However, this is no obstacle for higher stock market valuations. Here is a selection of stocks that continue to cause a stir!

D-Wave, European Lithium, BYD – Silicon Valley, the Alps, China: The tech axis of the future
The digital revolution is advancing in quantum leaps: the Silicon Valley company D-Wave is accelerating conventional computing processes by a factor of 2,000 with its groundbreaking quantum computing technology. Analysts predict that its share price will double this year. The Austrian company European Lithium is profiting from the unbroken demand for the same raw material. With its property in beautiful Carinthia, the exploration and mining company has the potential to take the lead among European lithium producers. Automaker BMW is already on board, having invested millions. Analysts predict a growth of 500% for European Lithium shares. In this phase of transformation, shifts in power are also becoming apparent: BYD, originally a battery manufacturer and now China's largest electric vehicle producer, plans to take over two German Volkswagen plants – a symbolic turning point in European industrial history. Where are the best opportunities for investors?

D-Wave, Rheinmetall, First Phosphate: Stocks with 100% or more potential!
First Phosphate shares jumped 10% on Friday, ending the week on a high note. The economic valuation had caused a sensation. With high-purity phosphate – a critical mineral – the Company could generate USD 700 million in cash flow in 3 years according to the PEA. Its market capitalization is USD 33 million, and analysts also see significant upside potential. Rheinmetall started the new year with a 15% price increase. Rising NATO defense spending and numerous orders have driven buying activity. In the field of air defense, Germany's largest defense contractor aims to set a new standard. One of the hot stocks of 2024 is facing more headwinds in the new year: D-Wave Quantum. Two leading tech CEOs have expressed skepticism. Does this mean the hype is over? Who will win the race?
