Gold is a crisis currency and intended for asset protection. As people speculate an end to the pandemic due to the vaccines' positive developments, free capital is being invested in exciting boom sectors on the stock markets. Gold, on the other hand, is dull. But watch out! Just looking at the debt levels of most countries gives the first warning. Currently, there are excellent entry opportunities in the precious yellow metal. Do not miss the entry!

    Desert Gold Ventures - On track

    The gold price high since summer at just under USD 2,070 has been followed by a consolidation phase lasting several months, which at times led below the USD 1,700 mark. The price turned around at the critical support zone of USD 1,680. Currently, a bottoming out around the USD 1,720 is taking place. Should this hold, the adjustment should be over for the time being. Gold mines have lost more than the price. They act as a lever in both directions. It's time to get your foot in the door on promising mining stocks. One interesting investment is Desert Gold Ventures.

    The gold explorer with a stock market valuation of just under EUR 15 million has halved in value since the all-time high in the gold price, but fundamentally things are going more than well. A few weeks ago, the Company reported on the most extensive drilling program in its history, covering 20,000 meters at the SMSZ project in Mali. Already this year, the breakthrough should be achieved on the project, as there are several promising targets at an advanced stage in the correct regional environment. The project is located between the Fekola gold mine of B2Gold, the Gounkoto and Loulo mines of Barrick Gold and the Sadiola and Yatela mines of the consortium AngloGold Ashanti, Iamgold and the government of Mali in the immediate vicinity.

    First Majestic Silver- The chart wants to go up!

    We have already seen a new all-time high for First Majestic Silver this year. However, this had less fundamental reasons. In the course of the Reddit community's "WallStreetBets" silver campaign, the value exploded to the equivalent of almost EUR 22.00, only to collapse again to EUR 13.00 a short time later. The EUR 13.00 mark now served as an important support line in the past few days and was successfully defended. A break above the EUR 15.00 mark would result in a price target of EUR 17.00.

    On the corporate side, there are currently quite positive reports. The Company announced the acquisition of the Jerritt Canyon mine in Nevada. The mine was paid for by Sprott Mining for USD 470 million in First Majestic shares plus 5 million First Majestic share purchase warrants. The mine has produced over 9.5 million ounces of gold in its 40-year production history. The mine is currently operated as an underground mine.

    Alibaba - Uncertainty weighs!

    An investment in the Chinese Internet giant Alibaba remains uncertain at the moment. After the slump last year, when the subsidiary Ant Group's IPO was briefly canceled and Company founder Jack Ma disappeared for several weeks, the price was able to hold above the EUR 200.00 mark after the crash from over EUR 270.00 to a low of EUR 170.00. Currently, the chart picture has clouded significantly due to the renewed slide to EUR 190.00. One reason for the weak performance is the Chinese government's pressure on Internet giants such as Baidu, Tencent and Alibaba. The first fines have now been imposed on the companies. Although the penalties are "only" just under USD 80,000, they are more of a warning shot. In this way, the government is forcing control over its domestic Internet companies. Monopolistic practices and potential violations of consumer rights go against the grain of the policy.

    According to the Wall Street Journal, Alibaba could be in for a tough time. The competition authorities may impose new record fines of more than USD 800 million. As the WSJ reported, the authorities accuse the online group of prohibiting merchants on its platform from using other online companies. Moreover, another blow is the resignation of Ant Financial's CEO, Simon Hu. The latter handed over his key last week "for personal reasons." We would currently refrain from investing, in addition to the technical chart situation, for the reasons mentioned above.

    Supply chains on the NASDAQ! Critical metals sold out? What is next for Almonty - Caution advised with Rheinmetall, Deutz, and RENK

    Snip-Snap! In and out of the markets! At the moment, all stock market wisdom applies, because there is nothing more unpredictable for investors than the current US president. And who would have thought that the critical metal supply chains would suddenly become a major driving force behind the NASDAQ rally? Just as Xi Jinping threw rare metals into the ring as a bargaining chip, Donald Trump blew a fuse. Punitive tariffs of up to 100% were suddenly on the table, and the markets went into a tailspin. Yet just one trading day later, everything is put into perspective, and the markets have to find their new valuation point – no easy task. Yesterday, nervousness returned, as reflected in a sharp rise in the volatility index. What should investors be keeping a close eye on now?

    The global defense industry is facing a fundamental supply crisis. Antimony, a largely overlooked metal that is indispensable for high-performance electronics, armor-piercing alloys, and flame-resistant propulsion systems, is becoming a key strategic factor. Prices are skyrocketing, and massive supply bottlenecks are emerging. This shortage is hitting defense giants and suppliers hard, forcing them to radically rethink their procurement strategy. Today, we take a closer look at the current situation of the RENK Group, the explorer Antimony Resources, and the largest US defense contractor RTX.

    Achieve sustainable green returns of over 50%! How do Deutsche Bank, RE Royalties, and Nordex do it?

    With the Green Deal, the European Union has committed itself to the most ambitious sustainability program in its history. Through multi-billion-euro funding instruments, from the EU taxonomy to the InvestEU Fund and the Innovation Fund, Brussels is directing capital specifically toward green technologies, renewable energy, and sustainable infrastructure. For investors, the triggers are clear: stricter climate regulations, rising CO₂ prices, and the increasing commitment of institutional investors to comply with ESG standards are creating structural demand for green projects. Those who invest early in low-emission business models benefit twice over - from political support and growing social acceptance. So what makes companies like Deutsche Bank, Nordex, and RE Royalties the winners?
