Defense, oil, and turbulent times - Silver at USD 150? Investors eye Airbus, Silver Viper, OHB, Rheinmetall, and RENK
The turbulence in the markets is no coincidence. It is not only the extremely aggressive foreign policy of the US President that is pushing other countries into a corner. Direct interventions in foreign state systems are also shifting power balances and global supply chains. China has long since responded to this form of imperialism by terminating international trade agreements for critical metals. With oil prices suddenly surging, new geopolitical issues are naturally coming to the fore, placing both East and West in a difficult position once again. Major oil suppliers in the Middle East are currently unable to meet their production quotas, while Russia remains under sanctions. This leaves the United States and Canada as the primary alternatives - a windfall for producers in those countries, who can now ramp up production at full speed. Silver also appears to have reached a crucial point. The large short positions from January have likely been covered, but industrial demand is now skyrocketing. Investors should therefore take a closer look at promising projects such as Silver Viper, which in the long term could supply customers around the globe.

Antimony shock for Airbus and BASF: China's export restrictions make Antimony Resources a strategic winner
2025 will go down in economic history as the year when a largely unknown semi-metal sent global industry into a state of alert. Antimony, long overshadowed by popular battery metals such as lithium and cobalt, suddenly emerged as one of the most strategically critical and supply-constrained metals. Aggressive export restrictions imposed by China, which historically controlled over 80% of global processing capacity, have put Western supply chains under significant pressure. What market observers refer to as the "antimony shock" is no longer a theoretical threat, but a harsh economic reality. According to industry analyses, market participants were already talking about significant supply deficits in 2025 – estimates are in the high five-digit ton range. We analyze the market and present a potential beneficiary.

Silver boom racing towards USD 100, or not? Focus on critical metals with Antimony Resources, Airbus, Rheinmetall, and Plug Power
No peace in Ukraine after all? Defense stocks are being passed around like hot potatoes; no one seems to want to be invested when the flag of peace is raised. Yesterday, the defense sector fell by 4% at times, with Rheinmetall even dropping below the EUR 1,500 mark. When disappointing interviews with Donald Trump arrived from Florida, the stocks turned upward again. The fact remains that the defense sector needs critical metals. Industrial giant Airbus has secured several new orders, while Plug Power's targets are being pushed further and further back. Is another capital increase looming? Antimony Resources remains promising, as the Canadians have what Donald Trump would like to have. Judge for yourself!

What billions for space mean for drones: Volatus Aerospace, Hensoldt, Airbus
Things are happening in Germany! The federal government recently approved comprehensive investments in space. Experts agree that Germany is on a par with the US when it comes to space research. While partners across the Atlantic usually act faster and on a larger scale, Germany is now set to take a bolder approach: a hefty EUR 35 billion is to be invested in space security. This move positions Germany as a space power, leaving even the French and British in the dust. We take a look at what these investments mean and why the commitment to space should be seen as part of the bigger picture.

All-Time High for Gold, Volatility Rising! thyssenkrupp, AJN Resources, Airbus, and Lufthansa in Focus
The stock market is preparing for a hot fall. While inflation figures show no sign of weakening, gold and silver are climbing to new record levels. Rising debt levels and growing geopolitical tensions are fueling this trend. So far, capital markets have largely held their ground without major losses. However, US President Donald Trump's trade policy has suffered a severe setback. With his plan to impose comprehensive tariffs on goods from almost all countries in the world, invoking an emergency law from 1977, he has clearly exceeded his powers, and the courts are now stepping in. One clear warning sign: volatility is high, and valuations have reached extreme levels. The Shiller P/E ratio for the S&P 500 now stands at 40, far above the historical range of 15 to 27 over the last 30 years - making 2025 an absolutely exceptional year in terms of overvaluation. We are on the lookout for promising stocks, and gold should not be overlooked as a strategic portfolio addition.

100% with NATO contracts from the air! Airbus, Globex Mining, Boeing, and Lufthansa
The craziness continues! NATO member states have agreed on new planning targets for armaments and capabilities and, according to Secretary General Mark Rutte, have increased the requirements for air and missile defense by about 30%. Rutte stated: "We need more resources, troops, and capabilities to be prepared for any threat." German Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasised that Germany would provide all the necessary resources to expand the Bundeswehr into the strongest conventional army in Europe. According to experts, large-scale defense projects, particularly in the aerospace sector, will require enormous investments and far-reaching acquisitions. Across Europe, around EUR 300 billion is expected to be invested in air forces by 2030. Investors should now set the course to benefit from the flood of orders in the aerospace sector.

The billion-dollar business! Arms and defense stocks in vogue – Volatus Aerospace, DroneShield, Leonardo, and Airbus
The European defense sector is set to experience significant growth over the next five years. Analysts anticipate average growth of 5 to 8% per annum. The European defense market is expected to grow from around EUR 125 billion to around EUR 170 billion by 2030. A key driver: EU funding is increasing massively, including through the Readiness 2030 program, which will provide up to EUR 800 billion in additional funding, including EUR 150 billion in low-interest loans for the joint procurement of drones, air defense systems, and artillery. In addition, NATO countries have committed to spending 5% of their GDP on defense by 2035, which will require additional investments of approximately EUR 320 billion per year. Which companies stand to benefit?

Big Short on defense? Long in gold! Caution with Renk, Deutz, and Airbus - Revaluation for Desert Gold imminent
After a record quarter on the stock markets, caution is now called for. Inflation remains stubbornly high, and the growing national debt is fueling the rising prices. This will worsen the situation for growth stocks, particularly, as hopes of interest rate cuts look bleak in the short term. Defense stocks have soared on the back of the government's trillion-dollar check, with heavenly balance sheet figures expected for them in the future. In the short term, however, they have already priced in the year 2030 in their share prices, which will result in a slowdown in the current 2025. In this environment, gold can no longer be held back because when currencies offer less and less purchasing power, precious metals are in demand. We take a critical view of Renk, Steyr, and Airbus. For Desert Gold, the boosters should ignite soon!

New DAX highs – are 100% gains still possible for Airbus, Rheinmetall, Almonty, or Hensoldt after the correction?
With a new all-time high of over 19,400 points, the DAX has now run very far. The drivers are the recent interest rate cuts by the central banks and hopes of an early change of government in Berlin. Despite the widespread euphoria, some top stocks have already corrected significantly. Possible peace negotiations in Ukraine initially pushed down the well-performing armaments stocks. However, with the renewed escalation of Russian attacks, these hopes have once again faded into the distance. As a result, defense stocks and tungsten supplier Almonty Industries are back in the spotlight. Strategic metals also remain on the shopping lists of Western nations, and the focus is now on securing the supply chains as best as possible. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Trump shares: Airbus, Royal Helium, Hensoldt, and Rheinmetall appear systemically relevant, and Plug Power aims high!
The world seems to be coming apart at the seams! While the capital markets are skyrocketing, we find ourselves in the midst of several geopolitical conflicts and a brutalization of social conditions. In Saxony, poster-holders are being beaten up; in the US, presidential candidates are being shot at, and in Ukraine and the Middle East, there seems to be no end in sight to the warfare. No wonder the population's need for security is at an all-time high. This also drives up gold and Bitcoin, as political confidence is waning. Donald Trump may be a flamboyant and over-excited politician, but he is right when he says that the current situation is almost unbearable. He wants to invest a lot of money in security and get "his country" back on track. Strategically relevant shares remain in demand in this context. Here is a current selection!
