The 'Apple moment' of strategic metals! How Almonty Industries is securing Western sovereignty and emulating Glencore and Rio Tinto
The mining industry is going through a phase that could be described as the 'Apple moment' of strategic metals. Similar to how Apple ushered in a new technological era two decades ago by combining proprietary hardware and closed software architecture, Almonty Industries now occupies a key position for NATO's industrial and military sovereignty. While the public focus has long been on digitalization, critical raw materials are now moving to the center of the geopolitical power architecture. In this context, tungsten has become as indispensable to the modern defense and semiconductor industries as the operating system is to smartphones.

Glencore, Aspermont, and Barrick Mining – Golden prospects
Failed mega-deals, strategic divestments, and quiet transformations away from the spotlight: the balance of power is currently shifting in the commodities sector. While one global industry heavyweight has abandoned its consolidation plans and is instead responding to geopolitical realities through targeted portfolio management, another player is working behind the scenes on an entirely new business model. At the same time, after several turbulent weeks, the gold market is once again sending clear signals, supported by surprisingly strong quarterly figures and high cash flow. For investors, this combination creates compelling opportunities spanning revaluation potential, defensive stability, and long-term structural tailwinds.

The Next Commodity Price Surge: How Rio Tinto, Globex Mining, and Glencore Are Positioned for the Supercycle
Commodity markets are undergoing a historic turning point. While precious metals are shining as safe havens, the energy transition continues to drive lithium demand. But the real pressure point lies in critical raw materials such as antimony or tungsten, whose supply is extremely strained due to geopolitical conflicts. This fragmentation of the supercycle is creating unique opportunities for strategically positioned companies. Three key players are ready to benefit: Rio Tinto, Globex Mining, and Glencore.

Silver +200% - Gold doubles! Time for acquisitions? Barrick, B2Gold, Desert Gold, Glencore, and Rio Tinto in focus!
The geopolitical situation brings new uncertainties every day. Most recently, markets reacted strongly to news around the removal of Venezuelan President Maduro, and now massive unrest in Iran has been added to the mix! Commodity prices are galloping against the backdrop of fragile supply chains and the formation of Eastern and Western power blocs with conflicting interests. While the US is formulating its expansionist agenda towards Greenland and Canada, China is responding with further export restrictions. This is exacerbating the situation even further and driving up the prices of silver to USD 85 and gold to over USD 4,600. Both established mines and promising projects are coming into focus, and takeover rumors are circulating once again. How are investors supposed to keep track of all this? We are happy to help.

The USD 200 billion poker game: Why a merger between Glencore and Rio Tinto could pave the way for Pasinex Resources
The 2026 stock market year began with a rumor that could shake the foundations of the global commodities industry. In trading rooms from London to Toronto, there were increasing signs that industry giants Rio Tinto and Glencore were once again considering a merger. It would be a historic mega-merger, creating a hegemony with an estimated value of USD 200 billion. Initial exploratory talks between the two companies have now been confirmed. But while analysts are still discussing the antitrust hurdles, the "smart money" is already looking to the second tier. After all, such a mega-merger would have one primary goal: absolute control over the critical metals of the energy transition, above all, copper and zinc. In the shadow of these giants, flexible, high-grade players such as Pasinex Resources are emerging as the real winners, as they deliver precisely the agility and production quality that the cumbersome large corporations lack.

Glencore, Laurion Mineral, Endeavour Mining – Demand explodes
The continuing high demand for copper and precious metals, coupled with rising prices, is putting increasing pressure on the global commodities sector while also creating new opportunities. More and more producers are responding with massive investment programs, expanded exploration campaigns, and the accelerated expansion of existing projects. Copper, in particular, is considered a bottleneck metal in the energy transition. Without additional production volumes, there is a risk of price volatility and supply bottlenecks in key industries such as electromobility, renewable energy, and semiconductor technology.

High-profile projects as a zinc turbo: Glencore, Mercedes-Benz, Pasinex Resources
Zinc is a highly sought-after industrial metal — but its price can fluctuate significantly at times. There is about a 25% difference between this spring's yearly low and the average annual price of USD 3,400 forecasted by analysts at Wood Mackenzie. Why is that? Just a few months ago, the market was concerned about an industrial downturn. Today, it is clear that inventories are low and demand from China is anything but weakening. Still, the zinc market remains challenging. We explain which companies are good investments in this environment and which are not!

Nickel as a strategic defense metal scarcer than expected: Lockheed Martin, Glencore, and Power Metallic Mines
Nickel is classified as a critical raw material in the EU. Yet many observers still fail to take the tense situation in the nickel market seriously — a major mistake. While there is currently an oversupply of nickel, forecasts are already predicting a future shortage. In addition, nickel comes in different grades. High-purity nickel comes largely from Russia, making supply anything but secure. Nickel is urgently needed for both modern batteries and in the defense sector. We take a look at the nickel market, explain where the metal is urgently needed, and introduce the two notable nickel stocks, Glencore and Power Metallic Mines.

Will Trump seize Greenland's resources? 300% opportunity with MP Materials, European Lithium, CRML, Glencore, and DroneShield
US President Donald Trump has recently reaffirmed his long-standing interest in acquiring Greenland. In April, he did not rule out military options and called control over the island an "absolute necessity" for US security. At the same time, negotiations are underway on the possibility of binding Greenland more closely to the US through a special agreement, a so-called Compact of Free Association (COFA), without formal annexation. However, the Danish government and the Greenlandic administration have signaled their clear rejection: Greenland is not "for sale" and its residents have no interest in becoming part of the US. Rising global tensions and the increasing scarcity of strategic raw materials are putting pressure on industry. The first effects are already being felt, particularly in the high-tech and defense sectors. A rush on strategic metals is underway - and investors are taking notice.

Glencore, Almonty Industries, Albemarle - Commodities on the verge of a rebound
The first quarter of the stock market year 2024 is already history, and despite many disruptive factors, it has turned out better than many expected. Germany's leading index, the DAX, achieved growth of almost 11% and reached a new all-time high. The precious metal gold also reached the highest level in its history at USD 2,233 per ounce at the end of the quarter. In contrast, important commodities needed for the climate and energy transition are lagging. After months of bottoming out, copper, tungsten and lithium offer attractive entry opportunities at the current levels.
