AI Infrastructure as a Megatrend: The Trillion-Dollar Race Involving Palantir, Micron, American Atomics, and AMD Continues
The global rise of artificial intelligence (AI) can no longer be reduced to just the software level; rather, it is evolving into a battle for physical computing power and stable energy grids. Within this fundamental ecosystem, Palantir orchestrates the massive data streams from government and commercial institutions and uses software to ensure that the physical IT infrastructure can be utilized efficiently in the first place. To provide the necessary processing power, semiconductor giant AMD is supplying the highly sought-after next-generation AI accelerator chips in an effort to gradually chip away at market leader Nvidia's market share. However, each of these high-performance computing operations requires immense amounts of ultra-fast storage, giving storage specialist Micron, as an indispensable supplier of the hardware backbone, significant pricing power. Because this enormous expansion of cloud platforms is simultaneously driving global electricity consumption to unprecedented heights, nuclear energy is coming into focus as a means of ensuring emission-free baseload power. This is where the Canadian company American Atomics comes in to play at this bottleneck in the AI value chain. By strategically building a vertically integrated North American nuclear fuel supply chain, it is securing the energy supply for future hyperscale data centers. Investors should maintain a well-diversified portfolio!

BHP Group, Strategic Resources, and Freeport McMoRan: AI and Robotics Are Triggering a Commodity Supercycle
Commodity markets are on the verge of a supercycle. The rapid expansion of digital infrastructure, from AI data centers to robotics, is driving demand for a wide variety of commodities to new heights. As soon as production becomes more efficient, sufficient materials will be needed. Copper, the backbone of electrification, is a prime example of the looming supply shortage. Overall, the combination of growing demand and only gradual expansion of mining operations is the perfect breeding ground for a sustained rise in commodity prices. This price surge will ultimately have a positive impact on the balance sheets of commodity companies. Three companies that stand to benefit from this trend are BHP Group, Strategic Resources, and Freeport McMoRan.

Copper Nears Record Highs: How Glencore, Power Metallic Mines, and Lundin Mining Could Benefit
Something unusual occurred in the financial markets last week. The US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan reportedly intervened in support of the Japanese yen and against the US dollar, reinforcing expectations that US policymakers are comfortable with a weaker dollar. This aligns with the Federal Reserve's recent decision to leave interest rates unchanged rather than raise them as many market participants had expected. A weak US dollar, however, is good for commodity prices. Gold and silver are already rising sharply. But the king of metals right now is copper, whose price is trading near an all-time high. Strong demand from the AI data center sector is meeting weak supply due to mine closures and lower ore grades at established operations. This combination could mark the beginning of a new uptrend for the copper market. Against this backdrop, it is worth taking a closer look at Glencore, Power Metallic Mines, and Lundin Mining.

The Green Gold of Contaminated Sites: Zefiro Methane Reaps What BP and Shell Have Sown
Invisible, highly dangerous to the climate, and strictly regulated. Methane is increasingly becoming the focus of political and financial markets. Meanwhile, European oil and gas giants Shell and BP are weathering global economic concerns, geopolitical turmoil, and rising sustainability requirements. With their recently released second-quarter figures, both companies are reaffirming their role as reliable cash machines. For investors, this means well-filled coffers for dividends and share buybacks. Greentech specialist Zefiro Methane, on the other hand, is tackling a massive problem that the industry has created and transforming it into a highly profitable business model. Over two million abandoned oil and gas wells (orphan wells) are emitting methane uncontrollably in the US alone. Methane is responsible for about 30% of global temperature rise and has a warming effect approximately 80 times stronger than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. Government programs worth billions are addressing the problem. Zefiro Methane has positioned itself excellently in this market, which is valued at approximately USD 500 billion. According to analysts, the shares have upside potential of over 200%.

Use the Pullback in Gold as a Buying Opportunity? 100% Upside with Barrick Mining, Desert Gold, TUI, and Lufthansa
Every day, we are bombarded with headlines about wars, conflicts, and human tragedies—who has the heart to think about vacation right now? Yet it is precisely in moments like these that taking a break can be more valuable than ever. Investors have been navigating a maze of geopolitical uncertainty for years. Yet, the stock markets have so far shown remarkable resilience—because there are always sectors that come into sharp focus during times of crisis. Precious metals like gold and silver have confidently weathered the inflationary spikes following the COVID-19 pandemic. Historical data shows that gold has generated positive real returns during all periods of inflation—averaging about 6.2% per year over the long term, and as high as 8.8% during periods of high inflation. The travel sector, on the other hand, is on an emotional roller coaster. Current conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, are leading to declines in bookings, rising energy prices, and uncertainty among both travelers and providers. If an itinerary is too risky, plans must be changed at the last minute. But as soon as the situation eases, catch-up effects follow. What has worked in recent years is back on the agenda: buy when the world seems to be falling apart.

Europe Facing a Tungsten Shock? Airbus and Siemens Under Pressure—Could Almonty Double?
Walking through the production facilities of European industrial giants such as Airbus or Siemens, it is easy to overlook just how fragile many of their supply chains have become. On Tuesday, Switzerland's Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) assessed the situation with regard to the EU: Western industry is caught in a dangerous cycle of dependency from which it can hardly free itself on its own. Since China significantly tightened export controls on tungsten in February 2025, tungsten prices have surged, in some cases rising seven to ninefold. Meanwhile, European initiatives such as the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) have struggled to gain traction due to limited funding and lengthy permitting processes. Without reliable alternative suppliers, manufacturing operations across Europe could face serious disruptions. In this article, we examine the current market dynamics and take a closer look at Almonty, one of the West's leading tungsten producers, which is widely viewed as a potential beneficiary of the tightening global supply situation.
