The global race for critical resources has entered an explosive phase. Driven by decarbonization and technological progress, structural shortages prevail. But now geopolitical power struggles are further heating up the situation: protectionist trade barriers and strategic control over supply chains are artificially reducing supply and catapulting the importance of independent producers into new spheres. In this environment, the strategies of commodity giants and emerging players are coming into sharp focus. Against this backdrop, it is worth taking a closer look at the positioning of Rio Tinto, Globex Mining, and BHP.

History has shown what happens when resource properties turn into super mines. Many projects developed or acquired by companies such as Vale or Rio Tinto, for example, have been in production for many years and generate enormous returns. The Canadian company Power Metallic Mines, active in the province of Québec, has also been able to continuously expand its NISK project in recent years. Now, the team led by CEO Terry Lynch sees even more potential there. Here, we discuss what gigantic raw material discoveries can mean and why Power Metallic Mines' polymetallic deposit is considered particularly interesting.

Shovels for the Commodity boom: Aspermont wins Rio Tinto as a customer with AI solution - Macquarie Group and family offices also on board

Gold is more expensive than ever! Critical metals such as tungsten, rare earths and lithium are making a spectacular comeback – in some cases, even the government is investing in producers. And in South America, Teck Resources and Anglo American are merging. All these events show that the commodities market is in flux like never before. Since US Vice President JD Vance's announcement at the Munich Security Conference last February, it has become clear that the old world order is over. New power blocs are emerging, and economies such as the EU and Canada must become independent. This can only be achieved with raw materials. One company that provides mining companies and raw material investors with a powerful tool in this market phase published a decisive corporate announcement a few weeks ago.

What happens after Jackson Hole? Following Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's speech, which boosted the markets with the prospect of possible interest rate cuts later this year, Nvidia's earnings report on Wednesday will take center stage this week. Any disappointment could cause recent gains to vanish into thin air. Meanwhile, the price of gold remains stable and, after a brief sideways movement, could take off to new heights.

  • CriticalMetals

Geopolitical tensions are the new market standard, not the exception. Trade conflicts are escalating globally, tariffs are becoming a chess game over commodities and influence, and military shifts are destabilizing supply chains. At the same time, central banks are hesitating to cut interest rates despite lower inflation, keeping the pressure high. In this turbulent environment, an understanding of macroeconomic forces determines profit or loss. Those who read the signs will find opportunities. Which of these three players—Deutsche Bank, Globex Mining, and Rio Tinto—offers potential?

Everything is going electric – and this detail could make investors wealthy: Power Metallic Mines, Rio Tinto, Freeport-McMoRan

The future is electric – heating systems and vehicles are already running on electricity today. Those with their own rooftop solar panels welcome this shift, as solar energy becomes essentially free after the initial investment. But this transition also requires massive investment. Experts at EY report that global electrification will require 115% more copper to be mined over the next thirty years than has been mined in all of human history. The scale of the challenge is, therefore, enormous. Making copper mining sustainable is even more so. But there are solutions.

Global markets are trembling: trade wars are tearing supply chains apart, raw materials are becoming weapons, and gold is shining as the savior in times of crisis. With a record high of over USD 3,500 per ounce, the precious metal is taking centre stage - driven by inflation, geopolitical shock waves, and greedy central banks. Yet, in the background, a new power dynamic is taking shape: companies that are not only developing deposits but also forging the future of resource security. This is where it will be decided who pulls the strings in the chaos of trade blockades – and who becomes a pawn. Three players are suddenly in the spotlight: Barrick Gold, Globex Mining, and Rio Tinto.

Barrick Gold, Edgemont Gold, Rio Tinto - Are gold stocks taking off again?

  • Gold

With the start of the Ukraine crisis, the gold price skyrocketed, but since March 8, we find ourselves in a consolidation. The 200-day line is currently holding, and it could go up again from here. But let's look at the reasons for the weakness in the gold price. On the one hand, there is the strong dollar, which naturally puts pressure on the gold price, and on the other hand, bond yields in the US are climbing again. After the FED announced on May 4 that it would not raise interest rates by more than 0.5 percentage points, which was originally feared, the gold price jumped again. Demand for physical gold remains high. We look at three companies in the gold sector.

Troilus Gold, Rio Tinto, BHP - Exploit uncertainty!

  • Gold

The falling demand for iron ore by the world's largest consumer, China, has put enormous pressure on the prices for iron ore and led to the downward slide in the share prices of major players such as Rio Tinto and BHP. In the medium term, prices will have to rise again due to high demand. Likewise, precious metals should rise in times of high inflation, including copper, which is in demand due to the growth of electromobility, among other things.
