March was a dark month for the shares of Deutsche Bank and Vonovia - the prices of both companies fell by more than 20%. In recent weeks, the uncertainty surrounding banks and real estate companies was too great. At the same time, the gold price rose significantly and even surpassed the USD 2,000 mark. We look at what the contrasting price movements mean and where laggards can be found.

    Vonovia and Deutsche Bank: What remains of the price quake?

    First Silicon Valley Bank, then Credit Suisse and finally even Deutsche Bank? At times it looked as if the market would now even set its sights on the Blue Bank. In the meantime, however, the situation has eased for the Frankfurt-based bank. After risk premiums in the interbank business rose sharply at times, they have returned to normal. The share price has also been in recovery mode for a few days. The market now agrees that the fall of Silicon Valley Bank was a one-off and that the wave from the US struck Credit Suisse, which had already been severely battered for months. But does this mean that the market risk is completely averted?

    It now seems clear that the rising interest rates are by no means exclusively positive for banks. Real estate companies and all companies with increased refinancing needs are now also under special observation. The Vonovia share lost as much ground in March as Deutsche Bank. Here, the market is pricing in property value losses in addition to more expensive refinancing. Large housing packages are almost unsaleable at the moment.

    From concrete gold to real substitute currencies

    While shares in banks and real estate companies, such as Deutsche Bank and Vonovia, have recently lost sharply, the price of gold and Bitcoin have risen sharply. Both asset classes are considered substitute currencies and safe havens outside the established financial system. The gold market, in particular, is comparatively small, so increased investment demand can quickly ensure dynamic upward movements. This is another reason many investors see physical gold as a long-term nest egg.

    Globex Mining: A piggy bank with potential

    Globex Mining is set up like a piggy bank with currencies from all over the world. The Company buys commodity projects and properties in North America and, together with partners, develops them, or sells them for cash and profit-sharing. Globex Mining holds a total of more than 200 commodity projects. Among them are gold and silver, copper, lithium and other battery metals. Like any investment company, Globex Mining is traded on the stock exchange at a discount to the total of all assets: The Company weighs in at less than CAD 45 million.

    The upward movement of gold has so far only slightly boosted the price of Globex Mining. However, if one takes a long-term look at the chart, it shows the beginning of a possible upward movement starting from the lows in December. Because of Globex Mining's numerous projects and the general need for commodities, the portfolio is extremely interesting: a successful exit alone can lead to funds flowing into the Company that are considerable in terms of the current market value. For investors who do not shy away from holding companies and conglomerates, Globex Mining is a company that has not yet completed the upward movement in precious metals and also has something to offer in other metals, such as lithium.

    Even if the situation around stocks such as Deutsche Bank or Vonovia seems to have eased, the past weeks show that there is pressure on the kettle. Interest rates will continue to rise for the time being because of inflation. It is by no means certain that the situation will remain under control and that the central banks will master their balancing act between financial market stability and maintaining purchasing power. Nearly unnoticed shares such as Globex Mining can be a sensible addition to a portfolio in the current market phase. Even a successful exit could lead to the remaining projects - more than 200 - being reassessed by the market.

    Defense out - Time to buy commodities! Hensoldt, Globex Mining, Barrick, Mutares, and Steyr

    That is how quickly market darlings can fall out of favor. Just last week, Rheinmetall & Co. were hitting record highs, but as of Monday, the euphoria came to a sudden halt. Trump agreed with China on lower tariffs, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy will travel to Turkey on Thursday to sit down with Russia's aggressor, Vladimir Putin. At the moment, this is still hard to believe. For the capital markets, however, this means a shift: out of defense and into high-tech and automotive stocks, the biggest winners of recent hours. The whole thing could be seen as a healthy rotation, as the major indices are at record levels, while tech and automotive stocks have corrected significantly in recent weeks. Once again, the cards are being reshuffled. For Globex Mining, the setback is suitable for medium-term follow-up purchases.

    When returns meet security: Why Almonty Industries is suddenly everyone's darling!

    In 2025, the world looks at a map full of conflicts: tensions are escalating in Ukraine, the Middle East, and along new geopolitical fault lines in Asia and Africa. Hopes for peace are giving way to a reality of rearmament and militarization. This dynamic is fueling the defense industry. But its boom depends on an inconspicuous metal: tungsten. With its unique heat resistance and density, it is irreplaceable for armor-piercing ammunition, missiles, and high-performance alloys. While China dominates the global market, a Canadian company is stepping into the spotlight: Almonty Industries. With the revival of the legendary Sangdong mine in South Korea and strategic partnerships, Almonty could become a key player for the West.

    Gold at USD 6,000 and takeover rumors: Evotec, Barrick Gold, and Desert Gold shares

    • Biotechnology

    Evotec shares shot up by over 10% on Friday. Is it due to the payment from the Gates Foundation? Or is there a new attempt to buy German biotech companies soon? Desert Gold is a hot takeover candidate in the gold sector. The Canadians aim to expand their resources to 2 million ounces and start production soon. Analysts at GBC Research believe the share price could multiply. GBC's estimates are based on a gold price of USD 2,300. Currently, the precious metal is trading above USD 3,000. According to experts, USD 6,000 is even possible. In that case, even Barrick could strike it rich. However, the latest first-quarter report failed to provide new momentum for the stock. Are acquisitions needed?
