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!

    The Sangdong mine in South Korea is producing tungsten again after more than 30 years. For raw materials specialist Almonty, this marks the start of the phase in which a strategically important deposit is set to become a reliable profit generator. This gives the share significant upside potential. At Novo Nordisk, the new Wegovy weight-loss pill is boosting business, and Apple is heading into the Christmas trading season with a record quarter. The good news should soon lead to rising share prices too. In our stock review, we examine the opportunities and the risks and take a closer look at three promising stocks.

    Commodities comeback: Opportunities in K92 Mining, Almonty Industries and Aya Gold & Silver!

    "Taken to the slaughter" is one of the more colourful expressions used in the stock market. On Thursday this was the fate of high-flying hype stocks such as Intel, which at one point lost a third of their market capitalisation. However, the waves of selling seen in recent weeks swept broadly across the markets. Gold and other commodities were hit particularly hard. High interest rates and profit-taking triggered sharp declines in many stocks. Following the US midterm elections, however, gold is once again shining, with prices posting gains. Opportunities are also emerging in shares of K92 Mining, Almonty Industries and Aya Gold & Silver.

    Power shift in Washington! The Democrats have recaptured the Senate in the US midterm elections and probably the House of Representatives too. For Donald Trump, this means sharing power for the rest of his term, as legislation, taxes and indirectly tariffs will no longer pass quite so easily without the Democrats. The question for the stock market now is whether investors see the setback for the Trump agenda as a threat or a relief. Sectors that depend on regulation, government spending and trade policy in particular could now see greater volatility. Developments in international financial markets are coming thick and fast these days! While Bayer is sending a strong signal with surprisingly strong quarterly results and raised full-year targets, software provider TeamViewer is causing alarm in the SDAX with a sharp slump and a lowered outlook. Meanwhile, an exciting story looks set to unfold in the tungsten sector with Almonty. Following a rapid rise, the shares are undergoing a strong and intense consolidation, which savvy investors could nevertheless see as a rare and attractive buying opportunity. Find out below which stocks have genuine recovery potential following the latest news, where the potential risks lie in detail and how best to position your portfolio for the coming weeks and months. A look behind the scenes suggests markets may be undergoing a complete reassessment right now.
