The gold price is poised for its next leap – with Formation Metals, Barrick, and B2Gold outperforming!

The gold price is consolidating at a high level. Analysts expect the rally of the yellow metal to continue soon, as the overall conditions remain favorable. It is not only its classic role as a "safe haven" in times of geopolitical tensions, uncertainty, and inflation fears. The massive demand from central banks around the world is playing an increasingly decisive role. For years, central banks, especially those in emerging and developing countries, have been stockpiling their gold reserves on a historic scale. These are signs of growing mistrust in the stability of traditional reserve currencies, especially the US dollar, and a desire for diversification. With precious metals continuing their upward trend, gold stocks are high on the list of favorites. Away from the blue chips, there are exciting investment stories, such as Formation Metals, which have so far been overlooked by investors.

Forget most of the hyped stocks in the AI and tech space. The most significant gains in the current tech and energy transition boom come - not from the diggers, but from the suppliers - just like during the Gold Rush in the 19th century. While billions are being poured into the hunt for digital gold (artificial intelligence) and green gold (renewable energy), the (emerging) raw material producers, specialized machinery manufacturers, and infrastructure providers are the ones benefiting most. We show you the overlooked profiteers of the boom!

"You shouldn't chase after trams and stocks. Just be patient: the next one is sure to come." This quote is one of the most famous pieces of wisdom from stock market legend André Kostolany. His advice is a timeless call for patience, discipline, and contrarian thinking. For stock pickers, we have selected three companies that have not yet followed the crowd or have been punished too harshly. The reward: solid potential returns. The cost: just a little patience.

Insider knowledge drives share prices: What does Almonty CEO Lewis Black have planned next? Insider purchases at TKMS and Aixtron are causing a stir!

The recent summit meeting between the heads of state of the United States and China ended with a preliminary trade agreement that promises a period of relative stability over the next twelve months. However, the agreements appear to be more symbolic than substantial, with few concrete steps to ease the structural tensions in global trade. One thing is clear: the US and Europe are under pressure to act. Without a decisive strategy to expand alternative production sites and relocate strategic supply chains to Western regions, there is a threat of a geopolitical and economic meltdown in the long term.

The debt burden is growing faster than it can be offset by growth. For investors, this means a massive decline in real purchasing power - an irreversible process that could even accelerate in the future. The solution: investments in gold and gold stocks. The gold price rally is far from over. Who is ahead of the curve?

As is well known, there is, of course, no universal rule for stock market success. Successful investors have their own strategies, which often sound very simple at their core. Commodities legend Jim Rogers summed it up with a straightforward formula: investors should simply be aware of supply and demand. Currently, this means that stocks like Almonty Industries rank among the favorites due to the prevailing market conditions. The same applies to defense stocks. But opportunities also exist in stock picking – here, it is worth taking a closer look at the beaten-down Gerresheimer.

Beijing is deliberately restricting exports of critical raw materials and rare earths that are indispensable for high-tech industries, defense, and the energy transition. Western industries are coming under pressure, security of supply is faltering, and prices are rising. Meanwhile, the beneficiaries of this situation, such as producers of critical raw materials, are experiencing a boom. What happens next, and what does the stock market newcomer TKMS have to do with it?
