Copper is one of the important metals in modern life. When it comes to the energy transition and the change in mobility, the red metal is of great importance. In the global competition between industrial market players, access and price therefore play an important role. Raw material nations such as Canada supply the market with the ingredient of countless technical devices, which are often produced in the Middle Kingdom. For this reason, it is particularly interesting to hear the opinion of an expert. Claudia Tornquist is the CEO of Kodiak Copper Corp. and is exploring for new copper deposits in British Columbia.

    What is your view on the current global copper market and what advice do you have for investors?

    ‘At this time there is a lot of uncertainty around the global economy with concerns about recession, cost inflation, supply chain disruptions and more. This uncertainty weighs on copper prices and we have seen a reversal of sentiment in the market. Speculative investors have gone risk-off, even though the physical copper market remains robust, producers are reporting strong demand from customers and inventories remain at historical lows. If the sentiment turns, we could see the market rebound quickly.

    The long-term picture for copper remains extremely strong: big demand for the red metal driven by the green revolution, and very little supply to meet this demand. 85% of the world economy is now on a net-zero carbon goal and a lot of copper will be required to build the electric vehicles, wind and solar systems and transmission infrastructure to meet these targets. There are currently not enough new copper projects being developed to meet even modest growth forecasts and more copper discoveries are needed.

    That’s exactly the business Kodiak Copper is in, we made the Gate Zone copper porphyry discovery at our MPD project in Southern British Columbia, which is located in an established mining district with excellent infrastructure. The company is backed by a strong team led by founder and chairman Chris Taylor of Great Bear fame. Kodiak is currently executing a large, fully-funded 25,000 metre drill program and is well placed to generate shareholder value by expanding the Gate Zone which remains open in multiple directions plus testing multiple additional targets with similar discovery potential.’

    Gold Under the Spell of Interest Rates: Opportunities in Lundin Gold, Kobo Resources and Barrick Mining

    Higher or lower interest rates? The Federal Reserve has responded to pressure from the bond markets and raised interest rates for the first time in many years. This is putting enormous strain on the US budget and could also further weigh on an already struggling real estate market. Gold investors initially reacted negatively, with the price correcting. However, this is likely to be only a temporary setback. Savvy central bankers, such as those at the People's Bank of China, are taking advantage of current prices to make substantial purchases. Buying activity in gold ETFs is also picking up. The current correction in the gold price should therefore be viewed primarily as an opportunity for stock investors looking at promising stocks. Today, we take a closer look at Lundin Gold, Kobo Resources and Barrick Mining.

    Sell Hensoldt? Copper at Record Highs! Power Metallic Mines Set to Benefit; Nordex Keeps the News Flow Coming!

    Supply concerns are colliding with growing demand driven by power grids, electrification, and the expansion of AI infrastructure. This is pushing copper prices to record highs. One potential beneficiary with catch-up potential is Power Metallic Mines. The Canadian company is developing a world-class project with a high copper content. Analysts and the CEO believe the stock is undervalued. The latest resource estimate impressed, and the project's potential is likely even greater. Hensoldt, by contrast, offers no further upside, according to analysts. They question the company's long-term growth prospects and believe its valuation premium over Renk and Rheinmetall is not justified. Nordex is also considered ambitiously valued. However, the German wind-turbine maker continues to generate fresh share-price momentum through a steady stream of news.

    Tanks, Ships, and Ammunition: How Rheinmetall, Renk, thyssenkrupp, TKMS and Power Metallic Mines Can Make Your Portfolio Bulletproof

    Geopolitical upheavals are throwing global markets into turmoil and forcing investors to rethink their strategies. It is becoming increasingly clear: The European defence industry is heading toward a massive wave of market consolidation. However, disillusionment is setting in among the defence industry's former high-flyers following the initial hype, as the internal work required for integration is far from complete and operational potential has been overestimated. Completely detached from this trend is the Essen-based maritime division, which has secured a front-row seat thanks to a government deal worth billions. A massive fleet order is injecting a whole new dynamic into the sector. Naturally, strategic raw materials are also taking centre stage, since without them, not a single tank can roll, or a single ship can be launched. In this segment, the wheat is currently being separated from the chaff, as concrete facts and proven reserves far outpace utopian dreams of the future. Investors who want to profit from this tension and build a crisis-proof portfolio must now spread their risks extremely wisely across the globe.
