Debt reduction, geopolitical tailwinds, and a technical breakout in the energy sector are meeting structural supply shortages in precious metals and AI-driven demand for memory chips. While oil and gas producers are benefiting from "energy dominance" and tight supply conditions, silver explorers with high-grade projects offer leverage to the next upswing in precious metals. At the same time, semiconductor stocks are igniting the next stage of the AI supercycle, driven by scarcity, rising prices, and exploding data center demand.

Tungsten is considered a critical metal worldwide—the defense industry in particular cannot do without it. But tungsten is also a high-tech metal. Without this element, which only melts at 3,400 degrees Celsius, has low resistance, and offers extremely high electrical conductivity, computer chips would not exist. The AI boom would be unthinkable without tungsten – the many data centers currently springing up around the world could not be built. We show how companies from the chip industry, such as Intel and Micron, are securing their supply and explain why Almonty is a blessing for the chip industry.
