It is remarkable how quickly critical metal shortages can translate into stock gains! Antimony Resources (ATMY | CA0369271014) stock soared from EUR 0.33 to EUR 1.00 within three months - a clean triple! The backdrop for this development likely lies in the multitude of geopolitical conflicts, as they require the use of extensive technology and military equipment. Here, the raw material antimony is at the top of procurement lists. In addition to all kinds of defense technology, the metal is also needed in data centers. Server racks contain kilograms of antimony-containing, flame-retardant cable sheathing. The solar industry also uses sodium antimonate, and complex specialty alloys benefit from the material properties of this flame-retardant element. What is next for Antimony Resources?

    Antimony: No Longer Just a Byproduct

    It may not be immediately obvious, but antimony is increasingly becoming a geopolitically critical metal. For years, China has controlled over 60% of global production and dominates large parts of the processing sector, while Russia faces Western sanctions. The result: massive dependencies for North America and Europe. Added to this are rising prices, which temporarily climbed to nearly USD 60,000 per ton following the introduction of Chinese export restrictions in late 2024. High-tech industries, from defense and AI data centers to energy, are driving demand even higher, placing antimony at the top of industrial buyers' procurement lists. Without antimony, a key link in the industrial value chain is missing.

    Defense and Industry as Steady Drivers of Demand

    According to current estimates, due to high replenishment requirements, approximately 20% of global antimony consumption now goes toward military applications, including ammunition, guided missiles, and air defense systems. At the same time, demand from civilian high-tech markets is growing: data centers require antimony-containing, flame-retardant cable sheathing, the solar industry uses sodium antimonate, and specialty alloys benefit from the material's properties. The combination of geopolitical pressure, new export controls, and a lack of primary production outside Asia opens up significant strategic opportunities for Western projects.

    Bald Hill: Key Project for North America

    With the Bald Hill project in New Brunswick, Antimony Resources is taking center stage. The company holds a 100% option on the property and has recently expanded it through additional claims. Exploration work to date has revealed high-grade mineralization: drilling results included 9.6 m at 2.38% Sb and 2.3 m at 6.79% Sb. The main zone extends over approximately 700 m in length and at least 400 m in depth. The ongoing 10,000-meter drilling program is intended to enable an initial official resource estimate and lay the foundation for a strategic North American antimony source. Work on-site is proceeding at full speed!

    New Discoveries with Significant Expansion Potential

    Recent field work has revealed the Marcus Zone west of the main deposit, a massive stibnite mineralization over at least 10 m. Southern and central areas of the property also continue to yield high-grade results of up to 8.47% Sb.

    CEO James Atkinson emphasizes that these findings point to a significantly larger mineralized system that could extend far beyond the previously defined main zone. Here he is an interview with IIF host Lyndsay Malchuk.

    Conclusion: Good Market Opportunities Continue to Offer a Promising Investor Outlook

    With approximately CAD 7 million in capital, the company is financially equipped to explore the new zones. In light of escalating geopolitical conflicts, demand for "missile-grade" materials is rising dramatically. The existing dependence on China is forcing Western nations to rapidly establish supply chains in North America or similar jurisdictions. Should the results of the Bald Hill project confirm previous forecasts, the company could become a key supplier of critical raw materials in North America. Currently, investors often act reactively. Numerous uncertainties and hard-to-predict factors continue to shape market activity. Nevertheless, a clear trend toward the appreciation of rare and strategically relevant raw materials has been emerging for several months. Antimony Resources is benefiting from this strong market momentum; the stock has risen from CAD 0.55 at the start of the year to CAD 1.44 yesterday, and looking back to April 2025, the increase amounts to around 1,000%. The company has not yet fully tapped into its potential, but the future trajectory is clearly visible.

    Risk-tolerant investors continue to jump on board, as no one knows where this rally will end. The market is only just beginning to recognize the strategic potential. At the start of the week, there was a technical "runaway gap." This formation refers to a price gap that occurs in the middle of a strong trend. It indicates that the market is continuing in the direction of the trend without any pullbacks or counter-movements. This gap occurs when the opening price of a new trading period is significantly higher or lower than the closing price of the previous period, with no trading having taken place in between. Currently, the stock is trading in Germany between EUR 0.95 and EUR 1.05 on high revenue, accompanied by substantial trading volumes. As the saying goes: "The trend is your friend!"

    Every Crisis Creates an Opportunity: Nordex Stumbles, Jungheinrich Struggles, and RE Royalties Looks to Have Found a Bottom

    When market participants suddenly lose their nerve, and industrial heavyweights like Jungheinrich plunge to new multi-year lows despite bulging order books, a key question for private investors, among others, is whether this is a dangerous crisis with further downside ahead or an attractive entry opportunity. Nordex, too, has recently struggled to build on its successes from earlier this year. The share is trapped in a consolidation phase and has now returned to its level from late February, when it broke out upwards on high volume and with a long green weekly candlestick. Is this an attractive entry point for investors desperately seeking stable, high-yield alternatives in the future-oriented renewable energy market? Find out why scepticism could prevail regarding well-known German names and why a pioneer in royalty financing could be on the verge of the next major share price surge following a technical “textbook pattern”.

    These are turbulent times for the stock markets. Interest rates are rising, bank stocks are weakening, and the number of mega-IPOs, including SpaceX and Anthropic, keeps growing. Parallels with previous stock-market crashes are becoming increasingly apparent. Yet many investors are still riding a wave of euphoria. The current bull market is already the longest in US stock-market history, driven largely by artificial intelligence. But the downside is becoming increasingly evident: valuations are high, and concentration in the major stock indices is enormous. Consider just one example: ten stocks, the so-called Magnificent Seven, along with Broadcom, AMD, and Micron, now account for 42% of the S&P 500. At these levels, there is little room for anything to go wrong. Even in this market environment, however, opportunities and risks coexist. Today, we take a closer look at Samsung, Volatus Aerospace and Equinox Gold.

    Copper prices remain elevated despite ongoing market volatility. Recent developments in the physical market have provided plenty of reasons for concern. Production in Chile, by far the world's largest copper-producing country, remains subdued and is declining at some operations. Strikes are looming at several mines. Most recently, Antofagasta reported the start of a work stoppage at its Centinela mine in the Andean nation. Adding to these concerns, Deutsche Bank's commodities team highlighted the geopolitical aspects in a recent study. Copper is essential to virtually every sector of the economy, from construction and power grids to manufacturing and AI data centres. According to the study, the US and China now control, directly or indirectly, 70% of global copper production. This presents a challenge for Europe and many other regions, where securing reliable supplies of critical raw materials remains a key strategic priority. Against this backdrop, we take a closer look at the copper market and the geopolitical tensions shaping it through three stocks: Power Metallic Mines, BHP and Southern Copper.
