Almonty Industries, thyssenkrupp, Nordex – Perfect news!
Rare earths and critical raw materials play a vital role across many sectors of the economy. They are essential for electric motors, permanent magnets, and battery technologies and are of great importance in the defense industry. China controls the majority of global reserves and is restricting exports. Western countries have long been making great efforts to secure deposits outside China, with particular pressure coming from the US. A recently published report by Bloomberg has raised eyebrows.

CAUTION with Nordex and thyssenkrupp! ENTRY OPPORTUNITY with Power Metallic Mines!
Commodity stocks remain promising. They are the backbone of technological progress—especially in an AI-driven world. And precious metals are considered a safe haven. Power Metallic Mines benefits from both trends with its world-class multi-metal project. After months of consolidation, new drilling results could boost the share price, as was the case last year. Caution is advised with Nordex, however. Although this year's surprise stock is impressive with its strong operating business and high order backlog, headwinds from political risks are increasing. Trump in the US and Merz in Germany are weighing on sentiment in key markets. But analysts still recommend buying? At thyssenkrupp, the expected IPO of the naval division TKMS is drawing closer. Full order books support the story, but with Rheinmetall entering the shipbuilding business, competitive pressure is growing significantly.

Trump Lifts Tariffs on Tungsten: Implications for Almonty, historical parallels with Nucor and Cameco
There is hardly a trading day without a tariff headline: Over the weekend, US President Donald Trump announced the exemption of several key imports — including gold, uranium, and tungsten — from import tariffs. The measure highlights just how strategically important these two raw materials, in particular, have become for the country. No tariffs should hinder trade in tungsten and other critical materials. This is good news for tungsten producer Almonty Industries, which has only recently relocated its headquarters to the US and has already secured offtake agreements with US industry players. The Company is now preparing to bring its massive Sangdong mine in South Korea into production - a project that could account for more than 40% of the global tungsten supply outside China. It now appears likely that a large portion of this production can be exported to the US tariff-free. We take a closer look at what the US government's measures mean in concrete terms and what opportunities similar market interventions have created for investors in the past, with the examples of Nucor and Cameco.

Defense sell-off – New doublers are emerging with thyssenkrupp, Almonty, and Heidelberger Druck
What defense speculators always feared as a looming threat is now happening within just one week: Peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine! Even though nothing concrete has happened yet, the sentiment is clear: If only half of the numerous geopolitical conflicts calm down or even disappear entirely, the pressure to rearm will ease, and potential orders, which were already reflected extensively in share prices, could be reduced or canceled altogether. Public budgets resemble a pressure cooker at 120 degrees, so any relief is welcome. It will be interesting to see how far defense stocks might fall, especially after rising by up to 2000% in the case of Rheinmetall. Almonty remains interesting because, even with reduced defense demand, critical metals remain the bottleneck of Western industries. It is worth taking a closer look.

Lithium? Zinc! Steel! BYD's supply chains, Pasinex's deposits, thyssenkrupp's recycling: Your triple protection against trade wars
Trade conflicts are escalating! New US tariffs and stricter export controls on critical raw materials like lithium and rare earths are destabilizing global supply chains. Experts warn of rising prices and supply risks, especially for future-oriented technologies. Investors are therefore now seeking out resilient companies. Preference is given to those with vertically integrated supply chains, direct access to strategic mineral deposits, or revolutionary recycling technologies. Those who master the new reality of raw materials will win. Three players exemplify this transformation: BYD, Pasinex Resources, and thyssenkrupp.

Hard to believe: thyssenkrupp going public? New DAX highs with SAP, ASML, and Antimony Resources
With geopolitical tensions escalating with each passing day, it is becoming increasingly clear that reliable supply chains for industry and manufacturing are a thing of the past. German and European industry, in particular, are feeling the effects more and more as supply routes are increasingly restricted or even shut down completely as a result of growing sanctions. This scenario of scarcity is leading to increased sensitivity on the capital markets: long-term interest rates are rising, and risk parameters are skyrocketing. How are companies responding to this uncertain environment, and is there still hope for a revival of global trade? Which fundamental trends should investors pay particular attention to in light of this situation? There is a lot to be gained!

After tungsten, is this the next raw material bottleneck? thyssenkrupp, Pasinex Resources, and Mercedes-Benz under review!
Geopolitical tensions are forcing industrialized nations to radically rethink their strategies. Following strategic metals like tungsten and rare earths, another raw material is coming into the spotlight. The importance of steel refinement and high-tech production is growing exponentially, while supply risks are looming due to market concentration. Those who now secure alternative supply sources or develop substitution technologies will not only secure supply chains but also generate competitive advantages. We take a closer look at companies that rely on zinc, and one company that could help the US remove zinc from its list of critical raw materials.

Salzgitter AG, Argo Graphene Solutions, Huntington Ingalls Industries – In the right place at the right time
Driven by geopolitical tensions, billions are flowing into new defense technology. At the same time, a massive infrastructure program is underway – from rail networks to the energy transition. What is being sold politically as security and progress is fueling speculation on the stock market. Defense companies and construction groups are moving into the spotlight of investor interest. Both sectors are benefiting from long-term contracts and government support. Despite the recent boom, many companies still have moderate valuations and offer further upside potential.

German government kicks off hydrogen boost: Rheinmetall, thyssenkrupp, First Hydrogen
The German government is stepping on the hydrogen gas pedal: Simplified approvals and accelerated construction of electrolysers, import terminals, pipelines, and storage facilities are intended to make German industry fit for the future. Hydrogen is of "overriding public interest," according to a draft law obtained by the news agency dpa. This is good news for companies in the hydrogen economy that have gained momentum in recent years. Planning security can give the emerging industry the boost it needs, and it is essential for the transformation of German industry.

The gold hammer! Goldman Sachs predicts USD 4,500 – Barrick, Desert Gold, Rheinmetall, and thyssenkrupp
The highest current estimate by investment banks for the price of gold is USD 4,500 per ounce by the end of 2025. This is the extreme scenario from Goldman Sachs, which could materialize in the event of a severe recession or major geopolitical escalation. In addition to the ever-present war scenarios, the economic outlook in the US also remains a source of uncertainty. The prospect of persistently high interest rates is fueling inflation concerns, with many wealthy investors pulling out of the dollar and increasingly turning to gold. This is also because US fiscal policy is perceived as increasingly chaotic. Additional tariffs are pushing the budget deficit even higher, creating an environment in which tangible assets are becoming more attractive. The increased demand for gold from institutional investors, funds, and central banks sends a clear message: the precious metals sector is on the verge of a new upswing.
