Defence Therapeutics, Bayer AG, Rheinmetall: Patents, price jump and billions of euros
The global biotechnology market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 12.8% from 2023 to 2030. This has prompted Defence Therapeutics to secure numerous patents for their innovative platform technology ACCUM™. The platform is the linchpin for therapies in the fight against globally prevalent cancers such as lung, breast, and pancreatic cancer. Defence Therapeutics focuses on strengthening the body's immune system to defend against evil invaders. Cancer is also a topic at Bayer AG. The share price jumps as rumors circulate that the Group intends to divest its agricultural division - including Monsanto and the weedkiller suspected of causing cancer. Rheinmetall can report a further plus. Both the German and Dutch armies are ordering airborne vehicles worth billions. Whether these orders are intended solely for Ukraine will become clearer as the latest news unfolds regarding NATO's activities.

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.

Tocvan Ventures, Palantir, Rheinmetall - Well equipped with gold, AI and defence
The US banking crisis continues to move in circles, this time in slow motion instead of at the record pace of 2008. Alternatives are needed to ensure that investors are well-equipped in these times. Precious metals like gold have always been an option. Tocvan Ventures, as an exploration company, offers a promising gold and silver project called Pilar in Mexico. The launch of Palantir's first AI platform, which is located in the defence sector, also sounds promising. In view of the profit forecast, the share price jumped by a whopping 22%. Significant price gains are also to be expected at Rheinmetall. An undisclosed major order will keep the cash registers ringing for the arms giant on the Rhine, even in times of peace.

The trend continues - BYD, Defense Metals, Hensoldt
In order to achieve the climate targets, both politics and business are taking a high risk. Fossil fuels are to be replaced by alternative energy sources as quickly as possible. In turn, the consumption of metallic raw materials is increasing in order to build renewable, energy-efficient systems. In addition to copper, cobalt and nickel, the demand for rare earth metals, which have to be imported almost entirely from China, is increasing dramatically. Since the start of the Ukraine war, there has also been growing demand from the defence industry. The producers of critical metals ex-China are likely to profit from this.

ThyssenKrupp, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall - US subsidizes rare earths
Rare earths have long been on the list of critical metals in the US and Europe. As tensions build between the US and China over Taiwan, it is important to remember how critical rare earths are. Currently, China has a virtual monopoly, especially in terms of refining. In addition to high-tech products such as smartphones, the critical raw material is needed for steel alloys, in the military and above all, for the energy transition, including electric vehicles. The US now wants to promote the mining of rare earths in its own country and rewards this with a tax credit of up to USD 30 per kg. We, therefore, look at 3 companies that rely on rare earths.
