Desert Gold, Barrick, D-Wave: Mining meets future technology – A new chapter in resource extraction
The current developments around the US gold reserves in Fort Knox, which, at 147.3 million troy ounces, represent a market value of around USD 434 billion, are attracting international attention. In particular, President Trump's announcement that he will personally inspect the holdings highlights the political dimension of the precious metal. The BRICS countries are seeking a gold-backed currency to reduce their dependence on the US dollar. This could significantly increase demand for gold from African countries. Desert Gold Ventures presents promising new drilling data from its West African gold project with impressive gold grades at Mogoyafara South. Top dog Barrick Gold settles its conflict with the Malian government and, despite challenges, posts record profits of USD 2.14 billion in 2024. D-Wave Quantum is targeting agriculture and developing autonomous field robots that could revolutionize agricultural processes. Exciting times for investors.

DAX makes a decent correction – Gold sets its sights on the USD 3,000 mark! Caution advised with Palantir, Barrick, Desert Gold, Lufthansa, and TUI
After weeks of gains, the DAX 40 index saw its first noticeable correction yesterday. It rose to 22,935 in the morning, but by the evening, it had fallen to just 22,450. Hardly anyone had considered that the one-way street of rising valuations would eventually come to an end. Will the correction continue and perhaps go really deep? The opposite is currently true for gold. The inflation figures from the UK of a smooth 3% in January are causing the central bank to break out in a cold sweat. Adieu interest rate cuts – instead, gold is appreciating again and reached a new all-time high of USD 2,945. We look at the winners and losers. It is time to position yourself correctly.

Renk in a SUPERCYCLE! Elon Musk wants gold! USD 3,500 an ounce? Barrick off to a good start, but Globex Mining does better!
Will Renk shares soon reach an all-time high? The EUR 30 mark was broken yesterday. According to analysts, the defense stock will likely continue its FOMO rally. Like Hensoldt and Rheinmetall, the transmission manufacturer is in the supercycle. There is also news from Elon Musk. He wants to examine US gold reserves! This is once again leading to conspiracy theories – this time, the question is whether there is actually gold in Fort Knox. Meanwhile, experts see the gold price marching towards USD 3,500. The rally has now even reached the crisis-stricken Barrick Gold, with the stock climbing after recent announcements. Is all the bad news priced in? The stock of Globex Mining is performing significantly better than Barrick. And at the mine incubator, the price is being driven by positive newsflow. With its risk-diversified commodity portfolio, the stock still has potential.

Palantir, First Nordic Metals, Barrick Gold – WATCH OUT: These stocks are on the move!
The tech industry celebrates Palantir as an AI pioneer: With a 390% price increase in 2024 and a forecast of USD 3.75 billion in revenue in 2025, the Company is convincing with its government and commercial AI solutions – but the P/E ratio of 600 raises sustainability questions. Meanwhile, First Nordic Metals is building on exploration momentum in the Scandinavian gold sector: new anomalies and cost-efficient drilling techniques are driving the stock. Barrick Gold, in turn, combines robustness (19% revenue growth) with geopolitical challenges in Mali and long-term, large-scale projects. We take a look at which companies offer potential and where valuations could be too high.

Gold and defense stocks are currently unstoppable. The gold price is now well above the USD 2,800 mark. Just in time for the record price, insider tip First Nordic Metals is starting its drilling program in Sweden. The stock has taken off, and investors can look forward to a lively news flow.

"Gold has truly arrived as the ultimate store of value," the Barrick CEO said in an interview with Bloomberg. Defense stocks are also completely unfazed by Donald Trump's tariff threats. While Rheinmetall is trading at an all-time high, Renk seems to be leaving the downward trend behind and finally catching up. Hensoldt's performance is clearly being surpassed. Will the momentum continue?

Apple, First Nordic Metals, Barrick Gold - Technology sector meets commodity markets in transition

The Services division, in particular, stands out with a growth of 14% to USD 26.34 billion. First Nordic Metals Corporation offers high gold exploration potential thanks to its properties in the Scandinavian countries of Sweden and Finland.

This geopolitical development highlights the shift towards raw material projects in politically stable regions, which also offer a significant tax advantage.

Stock market driven by Donald Trump: Renk, Bitcoin, Barrick Gold, First Nordic Metals
Since yesterday, Donald Trump is again US president. And the Trump Trades such as Bitcoin, gold and defense continue to rise. The US president's own meme coin caused a stir over the weekend. At the same time, gold is setting its sights on an all-time high. The stocks in the sector should also benefit from this. Barrick Gold was one of the disappointments in 2024. Will the gold giant now start a new buying wave in the industry? New impetus could come in February. First Nordic Metals might be interesting for one of the large gold producers. The Company has exciting projects in Scandinavia and is implementing an extensive drilling program in 2025. The stock is cheap. At the turn of the year, investors likely also found Renk's stock too cheap. After a disappointing performance in 2024, the share price picked up in the new year. Analysts see further upside potential.

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.
