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!

    In the eye of the commodities storm: How Aspermont, with its 190-year history, is becoming the data center of the mining industry

    Gold is breaking records, copper is driving the energy transition, and critical raw materials such as rare earths are becoming a geopolitical currency. While investors are considering direct commodity investments, a company that has transformed itself into an indispensable architect of this new era is operating in the background: Aspermont. Once a traditional specialist publisher, the Company has quietly evolved into a data-driven control center for global mining. In a market characterized by resource nationalism and supply chain stress, reliable information is the most valuable commodity. Aspermont delivers just that, not as a cyclical player, but as a provider of critical infrastructure for decision-making. This transformation is complete, financially sound, and meets with a perfect environment.

    Silver Viper Minerals – The perfect combination of a silver boom, exploration potential, and takeover speculation

    All eyes are on silver. Recently, the price per troy ounce almost reached the USD 120 mark. Even though short-term speculation is on the rise, one thing is certain: the silver market is experiencing a sustained and structural supply deficit. All in all, these are favorable conditions for existing and prospective producers. Mexico is the global leader in silver production and is dynamically developing new deposits. Investors can benefit from this situation with Silver Viper Minerals shares. Under the leadership of an experienced management team with a strong track record, the Company is developing large, high-quality silver properties in the Central American country. Further progress is also fueling takeover speculation.

    Silver soon at USD 200? Buying at elevated levels or seizing opportunities with CSG, American Atomics, and Carl Zeiss Jena

    After a nervous start to the year, commodities and energy issues are once again firmly in focus on global capital markets. Recent discussions around trade tariffs and geopolitical dependencies, topics that also dominated the World Economic Forum in Davos, have triggered pronounced volatility. At the same time, heightened volatility is opening up attractive opportunities for investors. Whether silver, copper, nickel, lithium, or uranium, these metals are essential for industry, the energy transition, and electromobility. Their growing strategic importance is driving up prices and increasingly acting as an inflationary force in Western economies. The underlying factors include disrupted supply chains, export-policy uncertainties, and a tight structural supply deficit. In China, for example, solar module manufacturers are reportedly beginning to stockpile silver, as physical material is becoming increasingly difficult to source. As a result, the price of silver has multiplied within just one year, and physical demand now significantly exceeds global annual production. Investors should take note.
