Soil boosters wanted! The secret weapons of Bayer, Argo Living Soils, and K+S
Agriculture is at a crossroads between tradition and revolution. While optimistic forecasts like the Iowa Crop Progress Report 2025 predict record-breaking harvests, a paradoxical conflict is emerging. Blooming fields conceal depleting soils and climate stress. But this is precisely where the tension for innovation unfolds - where high-tech meets sustainability. Three players are helping to shape this future: Bayer as a pioneer of digital agricultural solutions; Argo Living Soils with revolutionary soil savers; and K+S, which is rethinking mineral fertilizers. Together, they are not only securing harvests but also healing ecosystems.

K+S, Globex Mining, Barrick Gold - Commodity stocks: Make money now
The commodities market in 2024 is characterized by high volatility, driven by strong demand, supply bottlenecks, and technological shifts to renewable energy, which make lithium and copper, for example, more expensive. In addition, inflation concerns make precious metals attractive as a hedge against inflation, while the central banks' interest rate policy is also a factor. Geopolitical tensions further disrupt supply chains and drive up prices. In this context, investments in commodity shares are becoming increasingly important. This form of investment allows investors to benefit indirectly from price fluctuations and the increase in the value of commodities without having to physically invest in the commodities themselves. We are, therefore, looking at three commodity companies today and analyzing their potential.

K+S, First Phosphate, Volkswagen - Phosphate: From fertilizer to high-tech application
Phosphate is an important nutrient for plants and animals and is used in agriculture as a fertilizer. It is also used in the food industry as an additive. Recently, however, the raw material has been needed in the high-tech environment. Battery manufacturers have an increased need for phosphate to produce lithium iron phosphate batteries, which are already used in some electric vehicles. The phosphate content in these batteries contributes to their stability and durability. If this technology becomes standard in all electric vehicles, demand will increase dramatically. So today, we take a look at fertilizer producer K+S, introduce a future producer in First Phosphate, and look at how Volkswagen is progressing in the area of electromobility.

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.

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.

Manuka Resources starts gold production. Can Varta and K+S manage the turnaround?
On March 22, all eyes were on the FED decision. Will the balancing act between fighting inflation and stabilizing the banking system succeed? The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and the difficulties of Credit Suisse have caused plenty of uncertainty. The result has been significant premiums in the price of gold and cryptocurrencies as people try to protect their money. But regardless of the interest rate decision, there is interesting news on companies that have been under pressure recently and are waiting for a turnaround. We take a look at three of those candidates today.

Raw materials revolution from Africa: K+S, Globex Mining, Freyr Battery
Lithium, cobalt or even manganese - what reads like the list of ingredients for the mobility and energy revolution is available in abundance in Africa. However, China has been a major player in Africa for years and was already investing heavily when Europe was still seeing golden times for combustion engines. In the meantime, however, that has changed: As Handelsblatt reports, more and more African countries want to do their own thing regarding raw materials and turn from exporters into processors - for the countries of Europe, this is an opportunity.

K+S, Tocvan Ventures, Rock Tech Lithium - Shares with doubling potential
On February 22, the meeting of the US Federal Reserve FED will take place. The results are eagerly awaited, as economic data have recently been mixed and difficult to interpret. The Consumer Confidence Index recently climbed significantly. However, since inflation has fallen less than expected, this could point to another interest rate hike. Rising interest rates are bad for the equity markets, as some investors may prefer to put their money into US government bonds. Regardless of the news, some stocks offer great potential at current levels. We take a closer look at three of these stocks today.
