"Best-in-Class" – How sustainability generates returns: Rio Tinto, Barrick Gold, and Power Metallic Mines

  • Sustainability

Large commodity companies such as Rio Tinto and Barrick Gold regularly had to listen to criticism at their annual general meetings: Activist shareholders and investors with a long-term focus called for greater sustainability. And not without reason: In 2020, mining was responsible for 4 to 7% of greenhouse gas emissions. A lot has happened since then. Regulatory requirements and investment principles, such as the "Best-in-Class" approach, reward innovators in the field of sustainability. We explain how ESG can boost returns in mining.

The new gold rush: Barrick Gold, Globex Mining, and Rio Tinto are forging the supply chains of tomorrow

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • Commodities
  • Investments

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.

Rio Tinto, Saturn Oil + Gas, BP - Insiders are taking advantage of the commodities correction

  • Mining
  • Oil
  • Gas
  • Commodities

Concerns about the economy and even fears of a recession have caused the prices of most commodities to collapse in recent months. The price of lithium, a critical metal for the energy transition, dropped by around 90%. The oil market also saw drastic price declines despite geopolitical uncertainties in the Middle East. Insiders agree that demand for both critical metals and black gold should pick up again, and they are going on a buying spree to be prepared for the subsequent upturn.

Short-term 100% opportunity - Uranium is picking up: Global Atomic, Myriad Uranium, Rio Tinto

  • Investments

Nuclear power as a discontinued model? Only ideologists with exclusively German glasses believe that! As of January 2023, new nuclear reactors are planned worldwide: In China, a whopping 47. In Russia 25, in India 12, the USA 3, Egypt 2 and so on. Even Japan, shaken by the Fukushima disaster, wants to connect a new nuclear power plant to the grid and believes in the safety of modern technology. We shed light on the uranium market and present a company with around 100% share price potential from a standing start.

Barrick Gold, Globex Mining, Rio Tinto - Commodity supercycle continues in 2023

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • Commodities

2022 was the year of energy commodities. Goldman Sachs expects commodities to continue to deliver the best returns for investors in 2023, with increases of over 40%. Goldman Sachs has been predicting a commodity supercycle since late 2020. In 2023, the price of Brent crude oil is forecast to rise to USD 105 per barrel in the last quarter, and the price of copper is forecast to rise from around USD 8,400 to USD 10,050 per ton. The main argument is the low level of investment in the commodity sector, which is unlikely to meet demand. Therefore, today we look at three companies from the commodity sector.

Rio Tinto, Ximen Mining, Barrick Gold - Shares to counter the crisis

  • Gold
  • Copper
  • Commodities

The precious metal gold has not yet been able to reach a new all-time high in the current reserve currency, the US dollar. However, the conditions for this to happen soon are extremely favorable. The uncertainties in geopolitics, not only in Ukraine, as well as continued high inflation rates and even higher debt levels in many countries, are a dangerous mixture that should speak for rising precious metal prices. The central banks are called upon to act if it is not already too late. It is therefore advisable to at least partially protect your portfolio.

Rio Tinto, Triumph Gold, Nestlé - Conflicts and inflation

  • Gold

Producer prices of industrial products in Germany were 25% higher in January 2022 than in the same period last year. According to the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), this represents the highest increase since the survey began in 1949. The main reason for the sudden increase is the sharp rise in energy prices. Price increases compared with the previous year were also particularly high for secondary raw materials such as paper and cardboard (+72.7%), butter (up 61.1%) and wooden packaging materials (+65.7%). The situation in Ukraine is getting worse, which is likely to fuel electricity and energy costs once again.

Barrick Gold, Rio Tinto, BHP, NewPeak Metals: Gold - The inflation protection comes!

  • Gold

The technology stocks corrected somewhat in recent days, which also cost the blue-chip indices some points. But still, everything is technically in butter. However, we should keep an eye on two important adjusting screws. The bond and precious metals market! Bonds showed weakness recently because the increased US yields pulled all global bond markets into the red. The Bund future is also approaching the critical 170 mark again. If it breaks sustainably, a small sell-off in debt instruments should not be surprising. In this movement, the precious metals should start to rally. Yesterday, gold jumped to USD 1,797 - this will now be exciting!

Kodiak Copper, Rio Tinto, Gazprom: The next commodity doublers!

  • Copper

An utterly different madness! A perfect illustration of the current mania on the stock market is the price performance of the unknown stock, Signal Advance. The papers of the medical technology company based in Texas drove social media-driven investors, since Thursday, by more than 11,000% upwards, from USD 0.6 to USD 70.0. On Monday, the stock closed at USD 38.7, up more than 438% from Friday. Signal Advance, which, according to research, has not generated any significant revenue in 2019 or 2020, let alone profits, is now suddenly worth more than USD 3 billion on the stock market. Yesterday at the opening, it then went down with -75%, so it is likely better to stay with solid commodity stocks!

Rio Tinto, Glencore, Almonty Industries - commodities on the upswing

  • Resources

WTI oil futures settled above USD 49 per barrel on Friday for the first time in almost 10 months. Brent futures also reached an 8-month high of USD 52 per barrel. Such oil prices have not been seen since late February, with other commodities also moving higher. The prospect of a Covid-19 relief deal in Congress that will provide an additional USD 900 billion to the US economy has rekindled hopes that the rapid distribution of vaccines will get people back on track and encourage travel and long-term consumption decisions. The demand for commodities of all kinds could therefore increase rapidly again, and in parallel, the industrial figures and also the entire commodity market should be able to recover further. OPEC agreed earlier this month to gradually increase oil production by 500,000 bpd starting in January. A good sign.
