Raw materials war - is China getting serious? BASF, Mercedes-Benz, Almonty Industries
Energy transition, smartphones, semiconductors, armaments and more are driving our hunger for critical raw materials. But woe betide if China gets serious and severely restricts the export of critical raw materials. There is already a foretaste: the minerals gallium and germanium can no longer be exported without Beijing's approval. China is by far the leading producer of critical raw materials and rare earths. The EU gets 71% of its gallium and 45% of its germanium from China. So it urgently needs alternative suppliers. In the case of tungsten, Almonty Industries could provide supply. The Company is on the verge of starting operations at a huge mine in South Korea. From 2024, sales and profits are expected to climb sharply. Mercedes could also benefit from this. The Stuttgart-based company has just announced plans to invest billions more in electromobility. BASF, on the other hand, is going straight to China.

High-tech as an investment opportunity - how Almonty Industries, NVIDIA and FREYR Battery are profiting from the boom
With KT's Mine Safety DX technology, tungsten producer Almonty Industries is conducting pioneering work in the Sangdong mine in South Korea. The solution enhances worker safety and promotes efficient mining practices, a sign of strong ESG commitment. Due to its high density, comparable to gold, tungsten is used in aerospace, automotive, sports and telecommunications applications. NVIDIA is also going high-tech, building the world's first supercomputer to give companies quick and easy access to AI. Norwegian company FREYR Battery, on the other hand, can look forward to EUR 100 million in EU funding as a non-member. Why? Find out here.

K+S, Almonty Industries, Rock Tech Lithium - Europe arms itself against shortage situation
European industry is transforming, with the ban on combustion engines from 2035 being just one example. The energy transition is creating an increased need for critical materials and raw materials to make the changeover in industry possible. The European Commission has also recognized this and launched a Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA). This is intended to optimize and diversify supplies. Recycling and research into resource efficiency are also on the agenda. We, therefore, look at three companies involved in critical raw materials.

Records upon records at Tesla, BYD, Almonty Industries and XPeng!
Led by the innovation driver Tesla, which delivered better-than-expected quarterly delivery figures, Chinese competitors also boasted record sales. Thus, Elon Musk's plan to boost volumes through discounts worked. The increasing sales raise the demand for critical metals for the production of electric vehicles, benefiting the producers of these scarce resources in the long run.

Norway plans rare earths coup - but at what cost? Rheinmetall, Mercedes-Benz, Defense Metals
Tanks are rolling through Europe once again. Since February 24, 2022, the Ukraine war has kept the world on edge. But even on Germany's roads, vehicles weighing several tons are rolling around in the form of SUVs. While in China, a 700 kg city runabout is winning the hearts of customers, in Germany, even the lower middle class like to show off. Today we look at what this means for the hunger for critical raw materials, why Norway now wants to mine rare earths at the bottom of the sea, and what promising land alternatives exist.

The profiteers of the new super cycles - SAP, Defense Metals, Hut 8 Mining
Every new innovation takes time and is also not protected from delays. This can be clearly seen in the example of listed renewable energy companies. At the beginning of the new decade, these companies were praised with great anticipation, but disillusionment quickly set in due to the lack of sales and profits. On the other hand, the fact that this sector will prevail in the long term due to the energy turnaround is a foregone conclusion. The situation is similar for artificial intelligence and blockchain technology.

Breakthrough for the e-truck? Daimler Truck, Siemens Healthineers, Almonty Industries
For a long time, hydrogen was considered the energy carrier for heavy machinery. Now Daimler Truck has high hopes for a battery-powered model of its Actros. We explain the background, shed light on what lies behind Siemens Healthineers' share buyback program and also introduce a company that could benefit equally from advances in medical technology and the run on modern batteries.

Commodity shares with price potential: Bayer, K+S, and Almonty Industries in the analyst check
There are no signs of a deep recession in the US at the moment, which is positive for commodity prices and the corresponding companies. What do analysts say? They see a price potential of over 170% for tungsten producer Almonty Industries. With the commissioning of the flagship mine in South Korea, revenues and profits should increase strongly from 2024. After K+S earned brilliantly last year, there is a lack of positive impulses this year. Several analysts have spoken out. Can the DAX-listed company make gains again? At Bayer, the euphoria surrounding the change in the board of directors has faded, and the share price is almost back to where it was at the beginning of the year. But analysts see significant upside potential.

ChatGPT, Artificial Intelligence and E-Mobility! BYD, Almonty Industries, Nvidia - 100% performance with strategic metals!
Those aiming to accelerate artificial intelligence, e-mobility, or the energy transition need access to critical metals. The EU and the USA have the extraction of domestic resources on the agenda in order to become independent of the raw materials giants China and Russia. Long approval phases, too little exploration and a lack of investment capital have made this problematic over the last 10 years. Now a law is being prepared to secure the supply of raw materials in the EU. Resourceful investors can position themselves early on.

Almonty Industries, Palantir, Rheinmetall - Stocks soar on innovative technologies
The demand for AI is unbroken in the economy. Clothing giant C&A, for example, has now chosen none other than Palantir to optimize its digital sales processes. Rheinmetall, too, seems to be taking unfamiliar paths. The armaments group is increasingly focusing on electromobility and is helping the German city of Cologne to get smart e-charging curbs. The increasing technologization of various industries is increasing the demand for a valuable metal: tungsten. The Canadian company Almonty Industries specializes in the precious raw material. It is now using its successfully piloted mining technology in Europe to get to tungsten production even faster.
