The global economy is facing major challenges as the outbreak of the current corona virus disrupts supply chains in manufacturing and causes a collapse in demand for many products and services. Stock market professionals are reminded of 2008, when the US bank Lehman Brothers went bankrupt in the context of the subprime crisis and Hypo Real Estate in Germany had to be state-owned in order to avert the total collapse of the global economy.

    The opportunity of gold stocks in 2020

    In 2008, when investors around the world panicked and sent stock markets into a downward spiral, they also temporarily pulled out of gold company stocks. As a result, the share prices of the major gold companies also went into decline. Compared to other industries, however, share prices of the well-known companies working with gold recovered quickly. In 2020 everything is a little different, as the value of most gold companies has been trading at a low level for several years.

    The price of the precious metal increased

    In connection with the current corona crisis, there has so far been no significant price capers among the large gold companies. The price of a troy ounce of gold has risen since last summer from under USD 1,300.00 by more than 30% to now almost USD 1,700.00. Based on this situation, it can be assumed that shares of gold companies will be able to continue to trade at a stable price of the precious metal. The large companies such as Kinross Gold with a market value of CAD 9.3 billion and Yamana Gold with a market value of CAD 5.4 billion are much demanded by investors.

    Triumph Gold as takeover target

    Investors wishing to enter the market at an earlier stage of value creation usually invest in exploration companies. The Canadian company Triumph Gold explores and develops its own properties in the Yukon. The company already has Newmont on board as a major shareholder with a 9% stake. The exit strategy of investors in Explorer is usually a takeover by a producer - as soon as enough data on gold reserves is available. Triumph Gold's share price is still at a low level, but this also represents an opportunity. The company's most recent market value was CAD 19.0 million.

    Is Gold Headed for USD 10,000 as a Survival Strategy? Caution Advised for TUI, Lufthansa, DRC Gold, and Porsche

    What do Ed Yardeni, Chris Wood, and Thomas Kaplan have in common? In recent months, all three have mentioned a USD 10,000 price target for gold. Mr. Yardeni, founder of Yardeni Research, sees a global debasement of currencies and believes this target could be reached between 2028 and 2029. Chris Wood, Global Head of Equity Strategy at the research firm Jefferies, considers a five-digit valuation for the yellow metal possible within about five years. His reasoning includes a structural bull market, geopolitical uncertainty, and increasing central bank purchases. Finally, Thomas Kaplan of the Electrum Group also regards this target as realistic if gold is rediscovered as a monetary reserve. All of these arguments are understandable, though whether such a scenario will actually materialize remains uncertain. However, many of the factors cited are already evident today. We therefore look beyond the immediate horizon, broadening our view to include tourism and luxury goods - sectors that currently stand somewhat in the shadow of surging gold prices, yet remain no less interesting.

    RENK, Silver Viper, Harmony Gold – Silver and Copper in the Global Commodities Race

    Silver and copper are increasingly becoming key strategic metals in the new industrial era. The global expansion of renewable energy, power grids, and electric mobility is driving demand skyward. At the same time, demand from the defense industry is also growing. This is offset by a supply that is growing ever more slowly. New mines take years to reach production, while existing deposits, in some cases, are showing declining ore grades. Experts are therefore already warning of structural bottlenecks. For producers, this tension between rising demand and limited supply could become a real profit driver.

    The Commodities Bet for 2026: Why Desert Gold Ventures Could Outperform Barrick Mining and How K+S is Benefiting from the Iran War

    In the spring of 2026, the gold market is in a phase of extreme volatility that sends shivers down the spines of traders. Following a spectacular all-time high of over USD 5,400 per troy ounce in January, gold is now trading sideways in a volatile range of roughly USD 5,000–5,200. Investors are watching intently the players who extract this precious metal from the earth. At the centre of this is the exciting question of whether "smaller companies" like Desert Gold Ventures will outpace the sluggish giant producers. While Barrick Mining struggles with an unprecedented cost spiral, Desert Gold Ventures is already poised in Mali for its first production. This picture is complemented by a strategic look at K+S, which is currently benefiting from the war in Iran, as 30% of fertilizers pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Who is betting on the right commodity stocks now and will profit from them in 2026?
