Hype and day-to-day business – What matters now: European Lithium, BMW, Mercedes-Benz
European Lithium shares have recently caused quite a stir. But what is behind the surge that has multiplied its value within just a few days? What role does the Company actually play - for the US and also for Europe? We sort through the many reports on European Lithium and show where the Company could be headed in the medium term. One thing seems certain: Without European Lithium, the outlook for the automotive industry on both sides of the Atlantic looks bleak. Reason enough to take a closer look at the background.

Raw materials alert for defense and technology! Almonty, MP Materials, and Rheinmetall!
Europe faces a growing raw materials challenge. Whether it is rare earths, tungsten, or other critical metals, these resources are essential not only for defense, but for countless industries, including AI. The FAZ recently spoke to Almonty CEO Lewis Black about this, dedicating almost an entire page to the issue. Conclusion: Europe must act. The US has long since taken decisive action, securing access for its industry by investing in raw materials companies such as MP Materials and Lithium Americas. Europe's hesitation could pose a risk for Rheinmetall, even if investors are currently overlooking it - especially as the Company is also expanding in the US. Hopefully, Defense Minister Pistorius will have this issue on his radar during his visit to Canada.

Tilray, Graphano Energy, Arafura Rare Earths – Battle for raw materials intensifies
While the US appeared to be heading for a trade war with China on Friday, US President Donald Trump posted a message on his social media platform, "Truth Social", on Sunday, giving a slight all-clear. But is this really the end of the dispute between the world's two largest economies? Hardly. In fact, the battle for critical raw materials is likely to intensify in the coming months, if not years, meaning Western producers could benefit disproportionately.

US industrial policy at a turning point – how shareholders stand to benefit: MP Materials, Intel, Almonty
The administration of US President Donald Trump has shaken things up considerably in its first few months in office. Some changes unsettle observers, while others could serve as a blueprint for other economic regions such as the EU. A good example of the latter scenario is the US's direct investments in companies that are essential to critical supply chains. Examples include rare earths producer MP Materials, chip developer Intel, and lithium company Lithium Americas – the US now holds shares in all three companies. We analyze the strategy behind this policy and what it could mean for other suppliers of critical metals, such as tungsten producer Almonty Industries.

SHARE PRICE EXPLOSION at Standard Lithium, European Lithium, MP Materials! These commodity stocks are outshining Barrick Mining!
It does not always have to be gold! Barrick has gained around 80% so far this year. The following commodity stocks are outperforming it significantly. European Lithium's share price has exploded by over 100% since Friday. Initially, a share buyback sparked the euphoria, then came the bombshell: Reuters reported a possible US government investment in Critical Metals. European Lithium holds the majority of the Company, which is focused on the exploration of a massive rare earths project in Greenland. The impact of a US entry was already demonstrated by MP Materials this summer, where Apple is also involved. Standard Lithium has gained an impressive 200% in six months. How far will the boom in critical raw materials drive these stocks?

Gold boom boosts critical metals! Another 100% with Power Metallic, BYD, Hensoldt and RENK
The geopolitical situation continues to escalate, but the stock markets continue to boom! Trade conflicts, sanctions, and military tensions dominate the headlines, but behind the front lines of a new Cold War, another competition has long been raging: the battle for access to critical metals. Without copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt, or rare earths, not only would the e-mobility revolution come to a standstill, but defense technologies, digitalization, and the energy transition would also grind to a halt. Supply chains are coming under increasing pressure from geopolitical power games, and the battle for resources is becoming a key strategic factor in a multipolar world order. For Western industrialized nations, security of supply is becoming a matter of survival, and for investors, this is creating new opportunities. Anyone looking for tomorrow's winners today should keep a close eye on the global raw materials poker game.

From ore to energy: How BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Siemens Energy are benefiting from the energy transition
The global energy transition is not only sparking hope but also a race for scarce raw materials. Nickel, cobalt, copper, lithium, and rare earths are becoming the backbone of batteries and wind turbines, while geopolitical tensions over supply chains are driving up prices. Those who position themselves in time could benefit from the redistribution of global power. This is particularly exciting for companies that either secure access to these resources, develop technologies for their use, or play a decisive role in the value chain, such as BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Siemens Energy.

China's leverage: Why Rheinmetall is struggling, European Lithium is benefiting, and BYD remains confident
The next wave of global conflicts will not be fought with weapons, but with export licenses. At the heart of this geopolitical struggle are critical metals without which no high-tech weapon, electric vehicle, or wind turbine can function. China's recent tightening of export restrictions has exposed the West's brutal dependency, forcing governments and corporations alike to rapidly rethink and realign their supply chains. While some companies are fighting to secure their supply chains, others are consolidating their sources or celebrating their monopolistic position. Three companies exemplify this dichotomy: the recently pressured defense giant Rheinmetall, the rare earth and lithium beneficiary European Lithium, and the Chinese giant BYD.

Raw materials as the key to greater value creation: SQM, Lynas Rare Earths, Almonty Industries
Equality is a social construct. Reality, however, is diverse. This also means that some companies are in a much better starting position than others. In free markets, companies compete for market leadership and thus spur each other on to become better. However, some companies are in pole position for a variety of reasons and also have a few extra horsepower than their competitors. We use the examples of lithium specialist SQM, rare earths company Lynas Rare Earths, and innovative tungsten specialist Almonty Industries to explain which characteristics promise long-term advantages for companies and how investors can benefit.

How Volkswagen, Power Metallic Mines, and Nordex aim to conquer the trillion-dollar energy transition market
Electrification is driving an unprecedented demand for raw materials. Lithium, cobalt, and rare earths are the new oil - essential for electric vehicles, wind turbines, and our climate-neutral future. But global dependencies and trade conflicts threaten to disrupt supply chains. Those who secure strategic supplies will dominate the transition. Today, we look at three companies that are benefiting from the energy transition – Volkswagen, Power Metallic Mines and Nordex – and analyze their current situation.
