Rearmament begins in the mine, not the factory. According to the September Position Paper from the German Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA), raw materials such as tungsten are indispensable in armaments, aviation and many other sectors. The close link between defence and space became clear on October 1. That day, Rheinmetall Italia and Argotec launched their first joint satellite for military airspace surveillance aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9. Raw materials, defence and spaceflight all depend on the same supply chain. Companies that can close critical gaps are in demand. We therefore take a closer look at Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall and SpaceX.

Higher – Faster – Further! Unprecedented euphoria currently prevails on global equity markets, driving prices from one record high to the next. Buoyed by technological progress and unshakeable optimism, investors are boldly snapping up risky assets. However, this exuberant mood largely overlooks a fundamental macroeconomic challenge. Persistently high interest rates weigh on lending over the long term and send financing costs soaring. Higher interest rates also erode profit margins over the medium term, making the current market situation akin to dancing on a volcano. Amid this volatile mix, forward-looking investors are increasingly concerned about a sudden, sharp setback. To protect their portfolios from unpredictable market turbulence, strategic diversification matters more than ever. In this scenario, precious metals, especially gold, are once again coming into focus for asset managers as the ultimate, proven safe haven. There are suitable solutions for this investment idea too. Ultimately, the right mix will likely determine portfolio returns.

  • Critical Metals
  • Raw Materials

  • Defence-Sector

Times change quickly – especially on the stock market! Forget traditional safe havens such as gold or government bonds when global financial markets falter! Now is the moment for those who can harness and control the foundations of modern geopolitics. When capital flees the stock market, long-term investors look to cash machines whose business models rely on indispensable high-tech infrastructure or the necessities of national survival. At the forefront is SpaceX, which single-handedly dominates military communications in the Western hemisphere with its Starlink network. Back on Earth, Almonty Industries' South Korean Sangdong mine is producing its first tungsten in 33 years, in time for the Pentagon's firm deadline of January 1, 2027. Because the US military will no longer tolerate Chinese tungsten in its missiles and semiconductors from that date, Almonty will become a systemically important gatekeeper for an irreplaceable defence metal overnight. Investors looking to get in on small caps are watching the long-established Austrian company Steyr Motors and the Czech defence holding company CSG. All these stocks deliver tangible value and geopolitical security. For long-term investors, now is the time to buy!

Whether in Mali, Japan or Chile, Elon Musk is transforming global communications. Through his space company SpaceX and its Starlink satellite network, the tech billionaire is seeking to establish a leading position in global data transmission. This aggressive expansion in orbit is putting established industry giants such as Deutsche Telekom and Vodafone under increasing pressure. Traditional network operators face significant technological and financial challenges in providing seamless mobile coverage in remote parts of the world. This is where Musk’s satellite constellation comes in, extending internet and telephone connectivity from low Earth orbit. The ambitious goal is to provide high-speed data services to even the most isolated corners of the planet. For traditional mobile operators, satellite-based connectivity presents a new competitive challenge. A blessing for people and businesses in structurally weak regions, as they benefit enormously from this straightforward network infrastructure from space. Canadian mining company Desert Gold, which is advancing several gold projects in West Africa, operates in a region where reliable connectivity can be important for remote operations. A closer look at the company and the changing communications landscape is worthwhile.

Space, drones and robotics are likely to become increasingly important in the coming years. On September 24, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) reported a record stock of 5 million industrial robots, while on September 28, Starship reached Earth orbit for the first time. The two developments are more closely connected than they might initially appear. Deploying drones or robots in factories requires connectivity, propulsion systems and software to control the entire operation. From space to the factory floor, the foundations for the next phase of technological development are being laid. We therefore take a closer look at SpaceX, First Hydrogen and Siemens.

Warning signs are becoming more frequent in the stock market, and industry luminaries are urging caution. Following in the footsteps of successful investor Michael Burry, Ray Dalio, founder of the hedge fund Bridgewater, has now also warned that the AI bubble may have reached its peak. But here is the thing: The Nasdaq 100 and the S&P 500 have hit new all-time highs in recent days and look strong on the charts. In that sense, the warnings might be a little premature. Amid today's AI boom, it is worth keeping an eye on relevant stocks with potential. That is why today we are taking a look at the stocks of Astera Labs, Aqarios Quantum Technologies and SpaceX.

Will Gold Save Us From the AI Craze? NASDAQ Stocks Reeling: D-Wave, SpaceX, Nvidia and Lahontan Gold in Focus

The current AI hype is propelling tech giants to dizzying heights, but behind the glittering facade of algorithms, doubts are growing about their fundamental valuations. When industry leader Nvidia starts to falter, it reflects the nervous turmoil of a market that vacillates between astronomical visions of the future and real-world profits. Even quantum computing pioneers like D-Wave Systems are grappling with the harsh reality that visionary technology does not automatically guarantee immediate profits in the billions. Meanwhile, the space company SpaceX demonstrates just how heavily private capital is tied up in high-risk, promising large-scale projects that are extremely vulnerable to macroeconomic shocks. Amid this digital gold rush, driven by immense energy consumption and impatient shareholders, the NASDAQ tech bubble is in danger of bursting. Interest rates, which have been surging for weeks, could trigger a significant correction. No wonder, then, that more and more investors are turning away from intangible code and turning to humanity's oldest safety net: GOLD. Those who do not want to be swept away by the AI frenzy are fleeing to where substance is still tangible.

In the herd mentality of financial markets, what really matters often gets overlooked. For months, headlines about artificial intelligence, data centres in space and other visions of the future have been driving share prices. Yet while investors are pouring billions into these trending sectors, the upside potential is shrinking with every positive trading day—the premature hype is already too great. Those looking for substance are turning to hard assets: undeveloped precious-metal deposits in stable legal jurisdictions can offer leverage that the broader market has largely overlooked. We take a closer look.
