The world is entering a new geopolitical era: armament and defense production have top priority. Countries are effectively investing unlimited sums into their defense industries, which means gigantic opportunities for investors! Those who are positioned correctly now can benefit from price increases that are rarely seen, even in the most dynamic tech sectors. One example? The stock of Steyr Motors AG: Just a month ago, it was still available for EUR 14.80. This morning, it exploded on Tradegate to up to EUR 426.00 – an incredible price increase of 2,778%!

    The sleeping giant: Almonty Industries set for a price explosion?

    In addition to traditional defense stocks such as Rheinmetall, whose shares doubled in just three months and recently traded at around EUR 1,400, raw material suppliers are now moving into the spotlight. This is where Almonty Industries comes in – a company considered one of the most important producers of the strategic metal tungsten. On Xetra alone, the stock has already seen a daily gain of 16.6% to EUR 1.206. But the day is still young, and it could just be the beginning.

    Why? Because tungsten is indispensable for armor and ammunition! Currently, around 90% of the global supply comes from China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia. This creates a dangerous dependency for Western defense nations. This is precisely where Almonty Industries comes in: In the coming months, the Company will commission the largest tungsten mine outside of these four countries in South Korea – a potential game changer for Western defense strategy and a golden opportunity for investors.

    Takeover speculation: Almonty as a coveted target?

    CEO Lewis Black has already hinted that Almonty may not remain independent for much longer. This is not surprising, given that the Company's expected market share of 30% outside the dominant countries makes it a strategic option for Western players. Sphene Capital analyst Peter Thilo Hasler sees Almonty as a strong investment, and on February 3, 2025, he raised his target price from CAD 3.21 to CAD 5.20. Given yesterday's closing price of CAD 1.59, this represents a potential price increase of 225%!

    Momentum is pickup up: Act before the mass market strikes!

    The explosive price development of Steyr Motors shows how quickly trends can develop. As soon as Almonty Industries comes to the attention of the general public, the momentum could accelerate dramatically. The rising tungsten price due to Chinese export restrictions further enhances this effect.


    Conclusion: Those who position themselves correctly now can benefit from the geopolitical turning point!

    Investors who position themselves strategically can benefit massively from current developments. The defense industry and its raw material suppliers are the new winners of this era. Almonty Industries is a company that is positioning itself as a future key player – and could ignite the next big return boost for investors. Those who want to be part of it must act now!

    Back to the Debasement Trade: Gold Stocks Like Kinross Gold, Lahontan Gold, and Newmont Poised to Benefit

    • Commodities

    Over the past year, the debasement trade has come into focus for many investors. The idea behind it is an investment strategy designed to protect one's assets from the creeping devaluation of currencies like the US dollar or the euro. As global debt continues to rise and central banks in countries like the US or Japan are massively buying up their own government debt, their currencies are being weakened. Creeping inflation, which is likely to be exacerbated by the war in the Persian Gulf, will then effectively result in taxpayers being expropriated. Economists have long realized that these countries will never repay their debts but will instead resort to massive inflation. This is what emperors and kings did in earlier times, and this is what heads of state and prime ministers will do today. Investors can protect themselves from these developments by investing in the gold sector while simultaneously generating returns.

    At the crossroads of a fragile world order, the energy crisis is escalating from a marginal political issue to a matter of economic survival. Geopolitical upheavals have destabilized fossil fuel markets, while artificial intelligence's insatiable hunger for computing power is causing demand for stable energy to skyrocket. The future belongs not to a single energy source, but to a pragmatic symbiosis. In this tense landscape, clear winners are emerging for the next phase of growth. BP, as the backbone of the transition supply, secures fossil fuels; Stallion Uranium provides the indispensable, emission-free baseload for the AI revolution; and Nordex, as the driver of scaling in the renewable energy sector, sets the standard for expansion.

    Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.

    Driven by rising defense spending, geopolitical tensions, and highly concentrated global production, the long-neglected critical raw material antimony is suddenly taking center stage in strategic raw materials policy. Around 90% of global production comes from just three countries, led by China. Antimony Resources owns the largest deposit in North America and is thus gaining geopolitical significance. The stock is increasingly appearing on investors' radar. Analysts confirm the shares have the potential to double in value.
