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!

    Following a sharp correction, defense stocks are once again offering attractive entry points. Structural drivers such as rising defense budgets, geopolitical tensions, and full order books remain intact. In this environment, demand is also increasing for antimony, a strategically important raw material used in ammunition, electronics, and defense applications, amid tight global supply and fragile supply chains. As a result, Antimony Resources, which holds one of North America's largest antimony projects, is attracting growing investor attention. Analysts point to substantial upside potential, with some estimates suggesting gains of over 200% in the next 12 months.

    Gold Heading for Another Record High? Lahontan Gold, Coeur Mining, and Commerzbank's USD 5,000 Forecast

    The gold market remains under the influence of the price increases seen at the start of the year and a generally volatile geopolitical situation. According to analyses by the World Gold Council (WGC), global debt has reached levels increasingly viewed as unsustainable, significantly raising the risk of a sovereign debt crisis as a potential "black swan" event in this decade. Given the circumstances, gold remains an anchor of stability. The fiscal policies of many Western nations, particularly the US, face the challenge of rising interest rates despite a massive debt burden. At the same time, significant tensions are emerging in the private credit markets, where companies must also refinance. Leading institutions such as Commerzbank, therefore, expect the gold price to head back toward the USD 5,000 per ounce mark. While this does not represent a significant increase from current levels, it indicates that gold is stabilizing at a high level following its rally. While banks see opportunities in gold, both established producers and emerging explorers are leveraging the current market environment to set the course for the future. We highlight these opportunities.

    Agnico Eagle has acquired three projects in Finland and is establishing a second hub there alongside its operations in Québec. The world's second-largest gold producer is making headlines primarily with its CAD 2.9 billion acquisition of Rupert Resources. The Canadians aim to challenge Newmont with this move. K92 Mining could become the next target of a takeover wave due to its success in Papua New Guinea, as the company is performing exceptionally well operationally. DRC Gold in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, meanwhile, could emerge as a potential acquisition target in Africa. The company is already on track to develop two gold mines simultaneously.
