The impact of AI is currently causing sharp price swings. Who stands to gain, and who is under threat? While software companies are being punished, the share prices of energy companies are skyrocketing. Among the big winners in the US are energy suppliers that rely on nuclear power. These include, for example, Constellation Energy, Vistra, and Talen Energy. But these companies also need to be supplied with uranium. It is therefore not surprising that Bank of America is bullish on the price of uranium. It expects an increase of over 50% to USD 135 per pound in the current year alone. With Standard Uranium, investors could benefit from this megatrend.

    News flow and risk reduction in one stock

    While industry giants such as Cameco and NextGen have already performed well, it is worth taking a look at the explorers. Standard Uranium is one of the exciting newcomers. What is exciting about the company is that it does not focus on a single project, but on a large number of them. And these are typically developed with financially strong partners, thereby reducing capital requirements and risk for shareholders. In addition, the larger portfolio enables a regular news flow.

    Standard Uranium's current portfolio comprises 13 high-quality uranium exploration projects in uranium-rich districts of the Athabasca Basin. Its portfolio spans 57 claims over more than 95,000 hectares. The flagship project is Davidson River, while the latest addition, the Harrison project, lies in the southwest of the Athabasca Basin - near Fission Uranium's Triple R deposit and NexGen Energy's Arrow project. F3 Uranium has recently reported high-grade discoveries in the same area.

    Full throttle in 2026

    Standard Uranium is targeting a breakthrough year in 2026. High-resolution geophysics and targeted diamond drilling programs are set to advance multiple projects simultaneously. Davidson River remains the primary value driver, with Standard Uranium advancing it independently. In contrast, partner-funded programs at Corvo and Rocas cover drilling costs, reducing financial exposure. Management expects these parallel programs to provide a steady news flow and even ongoing revenue through operator fees, as Standard frequently handles the operational execution of its projects.

    For CEO Jon Bey, 2026 is a "discovery year." New, prioritized target zones from a first-time multiphysics survey in the southwest of the basin should also contribute to this. The portfolio is to be systematically developed towards discovery.

    Corvo uranium project with high-grade potential

    There has recently been positive news about the Corvo uranium project in the eastern Athabasca Basin. It is considered to be potentially high-grade. Now, for the first time, tests will be carried out to determine whether the signature continues at depth. The first diamond drilling is being prepared for this purpose, with the focus on the Manhattan Showing section. There, samples of conspicuous uranium mineralization on surface yielded up to 8.10% U₃O₈. Now, around 3,000 meters of diamond drilling in 8 to 10 holes will provide further details.

    The project is a prime example of Standard Uranium's business model. Partner Aventis Energy can secure a 75% stake in the project if CAD 6 million is invested in exploration over three years. For Standard Uranium, this means that drilling and data collection are funded by partner capital, while the company participates in the upside through its project stake.

    Conclusion: Stock with upside potential

    Standard Uranium is valued at less than CAD 20 million on the stock market. Given the large number of projects and the risk-reduced partnership model, there appears to be significant upside potential.
    In Germany, the stock is already traded on Tradegate. With further news flow, awareness of the company is likely to increase, and with it, trading volume in the stock.

    The world's hunger for commodities has changed fundamentally. What was long considered purely a narrative of energy transition is turning out to be a technological tsunami that is devouring metals on an unprecedented scale. As markets move away from their old dependence on individual commodities, a new ecosystem is emerging in which companies with diversified production portfolios are becoming the decisive players. There are growing signs that 2026 will be the year of differentiation – favoring those companies that are positioned along the entire value chain. We take a closer look at industry giants such as Rio Tinto, the promising explorer Power Metallic Mines, and the commodity trader Glencore in this new environment.

    The volatility in the precious metals sector is due to a number of factors, all of which are contributing to higher prices. Over the past three weeks, banks were briefly able to catch their breath with silver prices hovering around USD 75. However, since the unrest in Mexico began, the market has been sensing a new shortage, this time politically induced. Gold can benefit from this scenario, having just reached a new all-time high of USD 5,600 in January. Following this strong rally, a textbook consolidation down to USD 4,850 took place. Yesterday, the USD 5,200 level was seen again, and technical analysts consider temporary spikes toward USD 7,500 a possible overshooting target. Investment banks have also significantly raised their estimates, with Goldman Sachs at USD 5,400, Deutsche Bank and Société Générale at USD 6,000, and JPMorgan at USD 6,500. Although they have been able to predict the gold market well in recent years, they still see room for improvement with the current "de-dollarization." At the same time, overheated tech stocks appear to be in need of further correction. For investors, this is a time for profitable reallocations.

    SILVER - Is the USD 150 mark now within reach? Silver Viper on the move!

    Up and down – always lively! The silver price currently resembles a yo-yo; children might find it entertaining. However, it is far less amusing for the banks, traders, and especially the futures exchanges involved. For some time now, silver has proven to be an extremely important metal for the trending sectors of defense, medicine, and high-tech. Just as physical supply markets began to falter and China imposed new export restrictions, investors rushed to secure inventories on COMEX and the LME - trading venues originally established for forward sales by producers. With spot prices reaching as high as USD 122, a battle for physical stocks has now erupted. Not only is industry stockpiling significant quantities, but speculators also see the excessive scarcity as a once-in-a-century opportunity for price appreciation. Compared to gold, silver has delivered triple the performance within just 12 months, with the gold-silver ratio falling back to 55 after briefly approaching 100. Market observers expect a new surge toward USD 150 by the March settlement. It may therefore be worthwhile to consider exposure to future producers such as Silver Viper. Time is of the essence.
