Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Bayer AG - Arming up for defense with these stocks
The European Union is providing the defense group Rheinmetall with a total of EUR 130 million for ammunition production. The German company is one of six EU projects that are being funded in a special program to stockpile enough artillery pieces and secure supply chains. Here, Almonty Industries comes into play. Almonty specializes in the exploration, extraction and production of tungsten in two European countries, including Spain and Portugal. Tungsten is used in particular for ammunition. Almonty Industries also operates five mining projects, one of which is the largest tungsten project in South Korea. The increasing demand for the critical metal will soon cause the price of tungsten to skyrocket, as defense is becoming increasingly important for the countries and continents involved in the face of geopolitical tensions worldwide. Defense is also a topic at Bayer. The cancer drug Nubeqa supports the body's immune system in the fight against prostate cancer. Following the recent pipeline flop with Asundexian, the drug has great blockbuster potential and could bring billions of euros into the Company's coffers. Read more about why this is so important for Bayer at the moment.

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.

The race begins! Beating DAX records with BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Hensoldt and Rheinmetall
The DAX 40 index is setting new records almost daily, following the bullish lead from the US. Artificial intelligence (AI), armaments, crypto and high-tech are the top themes on the stock markets. Nobody wants to know anything more about hydrogen, and e-mobility has also seen better days. It can be profitable to examine the sought-after stocks with a fundamental magnifying glass. Often, hints about where the journey is heading can be found there. We focus on some of these stocks.

Siemens Energy, Carbon Done Right Developments, Rheinmetall - Light at the end of the tunnel
Due to the global arms race and the shift in focus, defense stocks such as Rheinmetall and Hensoldt are currently all the rage on the stock market. Unfortunately, this trend will likely continue over the next few years as orders increase. In contrast, another fundamental topic, climate change, is currently receiving little attention, at least in the markets. Renewable energy companies have been correcting for months but are currently increasingly working on bottoming out. In the long term, this presents anti-cyclical entry opportunities.

Pure growth - Super Micro Computer, Royal Helium, Rheinmetall
After weeks of chasing records, equities, precious metals, and cryptocurrencies are taking a breather, at least in the short term, ahead of today's decision by the US Federal Reserve. The current key interest rate decision and, above all, the Fed's quarterly projections on economic development, interest rates, and inflation will likely continue to shape events afterwards. The pause will likely be short-lived if positive signals regarding earlier than planned interest rate cuts are announced.

Profit-taking in Defense and AI - What else is going on? Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Renk and Hensoldt
Armaments stocks have been on the sunny side in the current year, 2024. Investors in this segment clearly outperformed the DAX 40 index. Due to the geopolitical situation and a redefined EU security policy, investors have rediscovered the sector. NATO member states are being called upon by the US to strictly adhere to or further increase their percentage of gross domestic product invested in defense. Donald Trump, who may return, wants to deny renegade allies the backing of the US in an emergency. Although nobody believes in this scenario, the announcement has had the effect that orders for new armaments technology have reached a new all-time high. Which shares are still in focus?

Encavis, Manuka Resources, Rheinmetall - Vanadium: From metal to energy source
The energy transition presents us with the challenge of efficiently storing renewable energy. A key raw material in this process is vanadium, which is used in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) and is mainly known for its role in steel production. These batteries are characterized by their longevity, with up to 20,000 charging cycles without any significant loss of performance, and their safety as they are non-flammable. In addition, their scalability allows them to be used both in large-scale grid storage and in the private sector. By storing electricity from wind and solar power, VRFBs are a critical element in supporting the transition to a more sustainable energy supply and ensuring the availability of steel alloys that can also be used in the defense industry.

Bitcoin soon at USD 100,000? The music is also playing at Rheinmetall, Renk, Manuka Resources and BYD!
The stock market is not a one-way street. While Bitcoin reaches new highs daily, many stocks are still on the sidelines. Only 21% of all listed shares reached a new high in 2024, yet the Nasdaq 100 and the DAX 40 index are at their all-time highs. Only a few stocks are gaining favour with investors; others are being left behind. The current focus is on high-tech stocks that enable ever-greater computing power, such as in mining or artificial intelligence. In addition to gigantic amounts of data, mining requires trillions of computing operations to be carried out in a very short time. There are rewards in the form of new bitcoins for confirming transactions on the blockchain, but they will be halved by the next "halving" event in April. Armament values, on the other hand, seem to be heating up. So how much time is left to reap further leaps in returns?

Globex Mining, Rheinmetall, Fisker - Correction nearing its end
The German economy is shrinking, and there is no sign of an end to the downward spiral in the current year. Only the defense industry, which was dubbed socially harmful before the Ukraine conflict, is acting as a growth engine, with shares in the sector rushing from one high to the next. The growing and likely continuing demand for defense goods is increasing the need for critical metals. After a prolonged correction, copper, lithium, and others may now have completed their bottoming out.

Renk, Hensoldt and Desert Gold: Price gains with armaments and gold
German defense stocks are currently in high demand. Rheinmetall shares have already gained 40% in the current year, while Hensoldt achieved a performance of 35% in the first two months of 2024. The figures for 2023 only dampened the mood briefly. What do analysts say about Hensoldt's share price potential? Stock market newcomer Renk still has to establish itself. But the IPO is beginning to bear fruit. Gold shares should also benefit from the global uncertainties. However, the performance of Barrick & Co. in recent years has been disappointing. Desert Gold could become the surprise stock of the year. According to experts, the explorer was the talk of the town at the recently concluded Mining INDABA trade fair in Cape Town, South Africa.
