To ensure you don't run out of conversation topics at your Christmas dinner...
What do space travel, sustainable energy, and medicine have in common? They all rely on raw materials rarer than gold—technology metals and rare earths. While the world debates the next big thing, we already have the innovations shaping the future today. Get inspired.
-
Scandium oxide in aerospace: Imagine Venus exploration vehicles laying the foundation for new insights into space.
- Indium in power-generating rain windows: Windows that generate energy from rain—a milestone for sustainable energy generation.
- Gallium implants: A technology that could restore patients’ eyesight worldwide.
These metals are the invisible heroes of technological progress—a topic that not only sparks curiosity at the holiday table, but also inspires discussions about a better future.
When regulations dominate the market...
While you are enjoying your roast goose, the screws are being tightened elsewhere: China, the giant of raw material refining, has tightened export controls for critical metals such as Gallium and Germanium.
A global export ban shows: these commodities are more critical than ever. Forecasts by BDI/Roland Berger warn of serious commodity shortages—at precisely the time when we so urgently need innovation and the energy transition.
Technology metals are the key resources of our time, and securing them is becoming an increasing challenge.
Global crises? Not for our metals!
While traditional markets fluctuate, rare earths and technology metals are impressing with stable value increases—even in the turbulent year of 2024. Here are a few facts for you:
? Gallium: +29.90%
? Germanium: +51.50%
? Indium: +29.90%
? Rhenium: +30.10%
Total value increase (6 metals): +21.62%
This means:
✔️ Price stability: Commodities remain an anchor in uncertain times.
✔️ Security: Physical ownership protects your assets long-term.
Technology metals are more than just an investment. They are the fuel for progress, innovation, and a sustainable future. Make the coming year your year of strategic decisions!
We wish you an inspiring Christmas and look forward to continuing our partnership with you in the new year.
