The situation is becoming critical everywhere! Are the next 300% gains already lurking at Antimony Resources, Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, or CSG?
Neglected for too long, but now investors should pay close attention to the critical metals sector. Time and again, new horror stories from Ukraine and the Gaza Strip have reinforced psychological pressure, highlighting that Central Europe, too, could face foreign policy risks. As a result, EU policymakers are continuing to ramp up their spending on defense technology. Until 2022, defense investment in Europe averaged just 1.2% of GDP. By 2024, this figure had already climbed to 1.8%, and for 2025 it is expected to exceed 2.5%. By 2030, research institutes expect it to reach a record high of up to 5%. In other words, 5% of total tax revenues, along with additional debt, would be allocated to acquiring military equipment. A few years ago, in times of peace, this would have been unthinkable. Unfortunately, wars and power-driven political agendas have long since captured the attention of market participants. Investors who fail to act in their portfolios now risk being left behind.

Defense Stocks Consolidate: Sideways Phase or 100% Upside Potential? Rheinmetall, RENK, Hensoldt, Power Metallic, and CSG
Investors would have hoped for a different outcome since October 2025. While commodity stocks climbed to historic highs, the market's former favorites in the defense sector saw their first significant wave of profit-taking. Rheinmetall fell from EUR 2,005 to EUR 1,450, Renk dropped from EUR 95 to below EUR 50, and Hensoldt declined from EUR 117 to EUR 65. Although these stocks later recovered some percentage points, new record highs have yet to materialize. The situation was quite different in the critical metals sector - the supply chain companies serving the defense sector. Since autumn, one thing has become increasingly clear: materials are running scarce. This is because the growth of the newly beloved defense industry requires huge quantities of metal. With high-tech components embedded in virtually all modern systems, copper in particular is in high demand, along with rare earths and tungsten. The recent explosion in copper prices to over USD 13,500 speaks volumes. Investors may want to consider reallocating their portfolios, as high metal prices are likely to lead to declining margins in the future, particularly in the defense sector. Here are a few ideas.

SILVER CRASH - From USD 122 to USD 72! Time to sharpen your knives with TKMS, CSG, Silver Viper, and thyssenkrupp
The explosive rise in the price of silver, which rose almost in a straight line from around USD 35 to USD 122 by the end of last week, is now taking its speculative toll. The precious metal has soared by more than 300% within 14 months, accompanied by widespread rumors of huge short positions and extreme problems for the futures exchanges in terms of material supply. The fact remains that silver has been used for several years across various high-tech industries, from wind power and e-mobility to state-of-the-art defense technology. Manufacturers are also said to have been spotted on the market making large cover purchases due to impending physical shortages. Industry sources report a possible deficit of over 1 billion ounces in the March settlement – equivalent to around 125% of total annual production. In addition to the exciting silver explorer Silver Viper, we also analyze thyssenkrupp, its subsidiary TKMS, and the newcomer to the stock market, CSG. It is worth reading on.

Silver soon at USD 200? Buying at elevated levels or seizing opportunities with CSG, American Atomics, and Carl Zeiss Jena
After a nervous start to the year, commodities and energy issues are once again firmly in focus on global capital markets. Recent discussions around trade tariffs and geopolitical dependencies, topics that also dominated the World Economic Forum in Davos, have triggered pronounced volatility. At the same time, heightened volatility is opening up attractive opportunities for investors. Whether silver, copper, nickel, lithium, or uranium, these metals are essential for industry, the energy transition, and electromobility. Their growing strategic importance is driving up prices and increasingly acting as an inflationary force in Western economies. The underlying factors include disrupted supply chains, export-policy uncertainties, and a tight structural supply deficit. In China, for example, solar module manufacturers are reportedly beginning to stockpile silver, as physical material is becoming increasingly difficult to source. As a result, the price of silver has multiplied within just one year, and physical demand now significantly exceeds global annual production. Investors should take note.

Trump 3.0 and gold at USD 5,000! Critical metals continue to skyrocket with Almonty, Rheinmetall, DroneShield, and CSG
US President Donald Trump appeared on the international stage in Davos and triggered mixed reactions. With his well-known "America First" slogan, the most powerful man in the world once again made clear which priorities dominate from a US perspective. For the international community, this reinforces concerns about transatlantic reliability and the growing realization that, in a crisis, countries may increasingly have to rely on their own capabilities when dealing with dictatorships and autocratic systems. This development exemplifies the geopolitical turning point already described by Klaus Schwab in Davos in 2020 as "The Great Reset." Geopolitical uncertainty is giving rise to constraints and unsettled investors. They are increasingly turning to true values, which are believed to lie in the commodities sector. Against this backdrop, critical metals, gold, and silver remain firmly in focus – a trend that has been gaining momentum for weeks. Here are a few tips for risk-conscious investors.
