Critical metals, crisis-proof profits: BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Nordex are your key
The global race for clean mobility and energy is fueling an unprecedented hunger for raw materials. Copper, nickel, lithium, and rare earths are the hidden building blocks of the climate transition and are becoming new, strategically vital cornerstones of the economy. Those who secure these critical metals and use them innovatively will dominate the future. But supply risks and price shocks loom. So how can this race be won? It will take companies that revolutionize the entire value chain, from mining to green technology. This is where the strategies of BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Nordex come into play.

Alarm bells ringing for rare earths and record highs for hydrogen! Hensoldt, Plug Power, Mercedes, and BMW partner European Lithium
Rare earths are increasingly being used as a weapon in geopolitics. "The last remaining stocks will likely be used up within four to six weeks. Then parts of production will have to be shut down," warns Christian Grimmelt of the consulting firm Berylls by AlixPartners in Wirtschaftswoche. This could benefit European Lithium's stock. The Company not only aims to supply lithium to BMW but is also developing a rare earths project in Greenland. Is the defense industry also affected by the shortage of raw materials? Perhaps. For now, the FOMO rally is driving defense stocks to new all-time highs. But caution is advised: according to analysts, Hensoldt shares, for example, have a 30% downside risk. Plug Power, on the other hand, has had to cope with many setbacks in recent months. Its shares are at rock bottom. Could a milestone in its home market bring about a turnaround?

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.

Volkswagen, European Lithium, Xiaomi – Who benefits from the tariff hammer
With the surprising tariff exemptions for certain product groups like smartphones and computers, the US government provided some relief for the global financial markets over the weekend, which even pushed the German leading index DAX back towards the 21,000-point mark. However, the next shock could be on its way. As early as this week, Trump is expected to address the tariffs on semiconductors.

Tariffs, rare earths, Greenland, and Trump! BYD, European Lithium, VW, and thyssenkrupp in focus
The cat is out of the bag! Donald Trump is imposing tariffs of 20 to 34%, thus snubbing his transatlantic trade partners. What has worked well for years is now being put to the test. It did not take long for reactions to the extensive tariff plans to materialize. The state and party leadership in Beijing responded to Trump's ultimatum by announcing counter-tariffs of 34 to 84%. This means that the escalation spiral in the trade dispute between the USA and China continues. The EU had already imposed some additional tariffs in March and is now waiting to see whether the US administration will change its mind. Meanwhile, the focus is once again on rare earths, as China is now imposing export restrictions on this precious commodity. Trump's imperialism is also targeting Greenland again. This is an interesting situation for investors.

Coinbase, Almonty Industries, Tomra Systems – These 3 high-flyers promise returns
The earnings season for the full year 2024 is in full swing, with quite a few companies significantly outperforming analyst forecasts. Another topic currently keeping the world in suspense is US President Donald Trump's "America First" policy. As can be seen from the negotiations with Ukraine, the "new sheriff in town" is concerned with securing rare earth deposits. When it comes to the metal tungsten, however, the US government seems to be already one step ahead, and a lesser-known company is likely to emerge as the winner here.

Lynas, Almonty Industries, General Motors - Is the trade war escalating, and what is Tesla doing?
The stock markets continue their record-breaking run. The Dow Jones Industrial has climbed to the 40,000-point mark for the first time in its history, and the DAX is also on the verge of breaking through the 19,000-point barrier. So far, so good, one might say. However, something is brewing in the background with regard to the trade war between the US and China, which could put enormous pressure on company margins in the future. As a result, critical commodities, in particular, are likely to be on the verge of a strong upward impulse.

Shares in Focus: TUI, Rheinmetall, and Defense Metals with good reasons for price increases
The TUI share was one of the top performers on the German stock market yesterday. The EUR 7 mark was exceeded, making things exciting on the chart. Analysts expect significantly higher prices for the tourism group. Rheinmetall shares are among the top performers of the year. An end to the price increase is not in sight. The armaments group has announced a new order worth billions. The manufacture of armaments, aircraft, cruise ships and numerous other high-tech products would not be possible without rare earths. However, most of these come from China and Russia. This makes the Defense Metals share interesting. The Company is making great strides with its rare earths project in Canada. The share should also benefit from this progress.
