Lithium Makes a Comeback: Processing Is a Bottleneck for Mercedes-Benz and Siemens Energy – Rock Tech Lithium Breaks the Monopoly
With scarce raw material reserves in the West, a more restrictive trade policy, and China still holding a monopoly on raw material processing, the situation surrounding battery-grade raw materials calls for action. After the price of lithium hit a preliminary low in June 2025, "white gold" saw a robust recovery of around 180% by February 2026, reaching a high of USD 10.48 per pound. The real bottleneck, however, is not extraction, but the chemical refinement into high-purity lithium hydroxide monohydrate for battery applications. Since a comprehensive investigation by the US Department of Commerce now classifies lithium supply security as a matter of national security, the development of resilient domestic processing infrastructure has moved to the forefront of industry priorities. The German-Canadian company Rock Tech Lithium plays a crucial role.

High Energy Prices: How Samsung SDI, dynaCERT, and First Solar Stand to Benefit!
On Wednesday, the US inflation figures for May were released. At 4.2%, the reading came in exactly in line with market expectations, and the individual sector data were also broadly consistent with forecasts. Nevertheless, this initially triggered a sell-off in the stock market. It appears that some investors have only now realized that the conflict in the Gulf has driven up energy prices and, consequently, the prices of many other goods and services. Given the renewed US escalation in the Middle East, oil, gas, kerosene, and fertilizer prices appear set to remain at elevated levels for an extended period. For companies whose products become more competitive as energy prices rise, however, these conditions are favourable. That is why we are taking a closer look at the shares of Samsung SDI, dynaCERT, and First Solar.

ITM Power and Nel ASA in Correction Mode – Is dynaCERT Poised for a Breakout?
Nel ASA shares fell more than 5% yesterday alone, extending the stock's correction through June. On the positive side, the former investor favourite recently succeeded in resolving a legal dispute. ITM Power is also in correction mode. Even a new partnership in the UK has failed to halt the recent sell-off. That said, both Nel ASA and ITM Power had previously enjoyed substantial rallies, with their shares roughly doubling and more than tripling, respectively. Analysts believe dynaCERT shares are capable of such a price surge. Under its new German management team, the cleantech company has undergone a significant transformation over the past two years. Currently, the company is benefiting from elevated oil prices. There is significant interest in technology for optimizing internal combustion engines. Should dynaCERT announce larger commercial orders, the stock could attract increased investor attention and potentially continue its upward momentum.

Cleantech Shows Strength: A Look at Nordex, Pure One, and Linde
Few sectors are bringing as many new and established companies back into the spotlight as cleantech. From solar and wind power to innovative technologies that can make the world a better and often more efficient place. For those who identify emerging trends early, the opportunities can be substantial. That is why we are taking a look today at Pure One, a company that appears poised for significant growth in the hydrogen sector. At the same time, established players also deserve attention. Industry heavyweight Linde, which has long since moved beyond supplying traditional industries, has built itself a formidable competitive moat. Investors may also want to revisit Nordex. Following its strong comeback year in 2025, the Hamburg-based company appears firmly back on a growth trajectory.

Will NASDAQ Shockwave Burst AI Bubble? Major Movements at Nel ASA, Oklo, dynaCERT, SpaceX, and ITM Power
It has finally happened—a 7.5% drop on the tech exchanges in just three trading days. Yet, only last Tuesday, the NASDAQ 100 index had reached a new all-time high of 30,730 points. In a sudden realization, market participants understood that the central bank's next move will be a "rate hike." After all, the new Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, makes no secret that inflation near 4% is a disaster for the US dollar and economic stability. Although Donald Trump has repeatedly hinted in the media at an interest rate cut, the central bank governors—including former Fed Chair Jerome Powell—are unanimously leaning toward hikes to curb high inflation. In addition to economically measurable inflation, voices are growing louder that excessive price increases on Wall Street paint a picture of the economy that does not align with reality. The daily gains of billions in stock market wealth, combined with the extreme increases in long positions, harbour the potential for disappointment in the near future. Whether the initial spark of a correction was set in motion last week must therefore be closely analyzed.

WHILE THE WORLD WAITS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES, DYNACERT, INNOSPEC, AND OC OERLIKON ARE MAKING DIESEL CLEANER
Different technological approaches, one shared objective – improving the efficiency and emissions profile of existing diesel engines. Three companies are pursuing fundamentally different paths to reduce fuel consumption and emissions: Canadian cleantech pioneer dynaCERT relies on a hydrogen unit that operates directly on the engine; US specialty chemicals company Innospec Inc. develops fuel additives designed to optimize fuel efficiency; and Swiss industrial group OC Oerlikon coats engine components at the factory with a layer thinner than a human hair yet as hard as metal. The result is the same in all three cases: improved energy efficiency, lower emissions, and longer engine life.

The Future of Mobility: Why There Will Not Be Just One Winner – dynaCERT, BYD and Nel in Focus
High oil prices are accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles. Nevertheless, market realities, infrastructure constraints, and economic considerations all point to a future in which multiple propulsion technologies coexist. The classic diesel engine is far from obsolete. In heavy-duty transportation, mining, agriculture, and power generation, it is likely to remain indispensable for the foreseeable future. At the same time, bridge technologies are gaining importance. Here, the cleantech company dynaCERT stands out. The Canadian company's innovative retrofit solution uses hydrogen-assisted technology to improve the efficiency of existing diesel fleets while reducing emissions. BYD has established itself as a dominant force in the electric vehicle industry but continues to face intense price competition in its home market, China. Next year, the company plans to launch a new generation of battery technology. Meanwhile, hydrogen pioneer Nel aims to set new cost benchmarks for the industry, potentially strengthening its competitive position in the rapidly evolving hydrogen market. Against the backdrop of multiple competing mobility solutions, which company is best positioned to come out ahead?
