Gold and security: Barrick, Desert Gold and Rheinmetall are profiting from geopolitical change
The global security landscape is changing rapidly, whether in the Middle East, on NATO borders, or in Asia. Savvy investors recognize the links between demand for commodities such as gold, technology and defense. One of the major gold producers, Barrick Gold, is receiving positive analyst evaluations and appears to be on a growth trajectory for 2025. The same is true for Desert Gold. The exploration and resource development company has discovered promising new gold deposits in Mali, West Africa, and has also raised the necessary capital for the next development phase. Meanwhile, Rheinmetall is strengthening the medical capabilities of the German armed forces. With state-of-the-art mobile rescue stations, soldiers will have access to care and support anytime. While gold producers and explorers are tapping into valuable precious metal resources, Rheinmetall provides the technology for a secure future. There is enormous investment potential for investors.

Trump, Bitcoin and a gold rally in 2025? Barrick, Thunder Gold, Agnico-Eagle and D-Wave in focus
Geopolitical tensions, war, inflation, spiralling national debt and clueless politicians – a set-up that hardly impacted stock markets negatively in 2024. Fueled by immense expectations of productivity gains from high-tech advancements, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing in the coming years, valuations on the NASDAQ soared to unprecedented heights. The local DAX 40 index was also able to keep pace, albeit with reduced momentum. As the year ends just shy of December highs, major uncertainties in 2024 also sparked a rush for precious metals. A troy ounce of gold peaked at USD 2,790, while silver exceeded the USD 32 mark several times - prices not seen in years. Technical analysts now predict a super cycle for commodities. The key point: compared to the overheated high-tech sector, the current metal prices for mining stocks are more likely to produce upward surprises than profit warnings. The time is ripe for a selective entry.

Outperformers to Buy for 2025: JinkoSolar, Barrick Gold, Newmont, Thunder Gold
Will gold mining and solar stocks be among the outperformers of 2025? The chances of them performing better than this year certainly look promising. Thunder Gold's stock has already performed well in recent months, and rightfully so: management believes it is possible to expand the resource of this exciting project in Canada to 2 million ounces. If it succeeds, the exploration company will become a hot takeover candidate. This is because major players like Barrick Gold and Newmont have underperformed this year and might face shareholder pressure to end their restraint on acquisitions. As usual, takeover fever should then spread to explorers like Thunder Gold. Barrick faces problems in West Africa, and Newmont is focused on cost reduction. And what about JinkoSolar? Not only does the Company want to buy back more of its own shares, but it is also working on a solar OPEC.

DAX 25,000 and gold at 3,500 next year? Position now with Lufthansa, TUI, Desert Gold, and Barrick Gold
After an extensive stock rally in 2024, many investors are wondering what the New Year 2025 will bring in terms of investments. Hopes are resting, on the one hand, on the upcoming conservative government changes in the US and Germany. There is great confidence in a new supply-side industrial policy flanked by further interest rate reduction measures. Deregulation of bureaucracy and tax relief could usher in a new era of corporate profitability, especially in Germany. This might eventually lead to the return of foreign investments and job creation, replacing the red-green visions of a carbon-neutral 28-hour workweek with full pay. We provide some insights on where and how profits might flow again.

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Novo Nordisk - How political decisions and market opportunities drive prices
The capital markets are again demonstrating how closely intertwined political decisions, external market factors, and entrepreneurial skills are. The planned expansion of Medicare and Medicaid coverage of obesity drugs could open up new growth prospects for the Danish pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk in the US. However, the wind of change is blowing in the direction of a new administration with a strong reputation in the US healthcare sector. Industry giant Barrick Gold shines with impressive numbers, with operating cash flow alone at USD 23 billion. Meanwhile, explorer Desert Gold is securing fresh capital through clever financing for its promising SMSZ gold project in Mali, Africa. Here is what investors should be looking out for now.

BUYING OPPORTUNITY in gold and billion-dollar investment: Barrick Gold, Thunder Gold, BYD
The price of gold is consolidating, the major gold producers are weakening and they could soon be forced into takeovers. This presents investors with an interesting buying opportunity with promising gold explorers. One of these takeover candidates is Thunder Gold. The Company has a highly promising project in Canada with excellent infrastructure and outstanding resources, which could soon increase further. Then a big player like Barrick Gold could strike. The second-largest gold producer has missed analyst estimates and could keep investors interested through acquisitions. The mood of German automakers is unlikely to improve when they look at BYD. The Chinese are currently celebrating a milestone and announcing a billion-dollar investment program for the integration of artificial intelligence. Should one take advantage of the buying opportunity now?

Bloom Energy, Almonty Industries, Barrick Gold – Strengthened for the year-end rally
Rarely has a trading week been more eventful than the past one. In addition to the landslide victory of the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, the traffic light coalition government is finally at a red light. The result was highly volatile and choppy trading. The high volatility is likely to continue until the end of the year, but the direction so far continues to point north.

Takeover fever and buy recommendation! Evotec, Nel ASA, Barrick Gold, Desert Gold
A hot takeover candidate in the gold sector is Desert Gold. Gold production in West Africa is expected to start in 2025. It is quite possible that one of the major gold companies will make a move by then. After the disappointing quarterly figures from Barrick Gold and Newmont calls for takeovers are growing louder. Analysts see significant upside potential. In the biotech sector, Evotec is repeatedly being discussed as a takeover candidate. The core business is considered extremely attractive, and the new CEO is expected to eliminate all the legacy issues this year. Next week will be exciting! And then there is Nel. Operationally, things are not going well for the former hydrogen star. Can the collaboration with a potential buyer turn things around?
