Silver shock 2026: Why JinkoSolar and AMD are buying up the market, and Silver Viper Minerals is becoming a key strategic stock
It is January 2026, and global commodity markets are experiencing a tectonic shift that has surprised even seasoned market observers. Silver, long derided as gold's sedate little brother, has thrown off its historical shackles. After an unprecedented price explosion of 147% in 2025, the precious metal is now trading at over USD 74 per ounce. But unlike in previous cycles, this rise is not primarily driven by speculation, but is based on physical scarcity. Industry, led by solar giants and the AI hardware sector, is sucking the market dry. In an environment where companies such as JinkoSolar and AMD are fighting for every gram of conductive material, explorers such as Silver Viper Minerals are moving into the spotlight. They possess what the global economy is desperately seeking: new, high-grade deposits in secure jurisdictions.

Defense in a stranglehold: Why Lockheed and Boeing are grounded without antimony - and Antimony Resources holds the strategic solution
It is a chemical element with the atomic number 51 that has long led a shadowy existence on the world's stock exchanges, but whose strategic importance is now keeping security policymakers at the Pentagon awake at night: antimony. What sounds like a footnote in the periodic table is, in reality, the invisible glue holding together the modern defense and aviation industries. But this glue is becoming scarce. China, which dominates the global market with a share of more than 50% in production and nearly 80% in processing capacity, has begun to tighten the reins on exports. Trade barriers and opaque export restrictions are fueling real fears of a supply stoppage. In this high-risk geopolitical scenario, giants such as Lockheed Martin and Boeing are finding themselves in a bind, while small Western explorers such as Antimony Resources are suddenly becoming owners of assets that could prove indispensable to the national security of NATO countries.

ATTENTION - The next 100% opportunity could be here: Almonty, RENK, TKMS, and Infineon
Shares related to artificial intelligence continue to be a major focus in the market, even though the initial euphoria has subsided somewhat recently. Critical voices are increasingly warning of setbacks or even a significant correction. Among these skeptics is the well-known investor Michael Burry, who is said to have bet on falling prices for Nvidia and other industry peers. At the same time, shares linked to critical metals and their industrial end users have once again moved into the spotlight since the turn of the year. This is because tech specialists and AI infrastructure providers are under pressure to meet extremely high requirements in terms of energy supply, computing capacity, speed, and reliability. As a result, further opportunities are emerging for selected stocks. We highlight a few of these potential plays.

Gold boom as an enormous price lever for explorers like Desert Gold Ventures! In or out of Barrick and First Majestic Silver?
In recent weeks, gold and silver prices have reached new all-time highs. Silver in particular has seen a sharp increase in volatility at these elevated price levels. US investment banks remain bullish and forecast a gold price of at least USD 4,900 by year-end. Gold continues to serve as a safe haven amid geopolitical tensions, high government debt, and declining purchasing power. In addition, strategic purchases by central banks are on the rise. Taken together, these factors create a favorable environment for precious metals and producers. Last year, the shares of mining operators such as Barrick and First Majestic outperformed precious metal prices. It is characteristic of a later phase of a bull market that investor preferences shift toward explorers such as Desert Gold. We take a closer look at three industry representatives and their potential.

Gold rush without toxins: Why Newmont and Equinox are under pressure, and RZOLV Technologies could become the key stock of the new super cycle
Gold is back on the big stage. Driven by geopolitical hot spots, structural weakness in the US dollar, and the insatiable appetite of central banks, the precious metal is racing from one all-time high to the next. But while prices are rising, the situation for mine operators is deteriorating: dependence on highly toxic cyanide is becoming more and more of a problem. Environmental regulations are becoming stricter, approval procedures are dragging on for decades, and social resistance is blocking billion-dollar projects. The technology company RZOLV Technologies is positioning itself in this area of tension between record prices and ecological dead ends. While industry giants such as Newmont and Equinox Gold are looking for ways to secure their production in a sustainable manner, RZOLV is providing the long-awaited technological answer: gold extraction that does not require any toxic chemicals and thus has the potential to reshuffle the cards in global mining.

Shares in rally mode: D-Wave and Power Metallic Mines! And what is Nel ASA doing?
At Power Metallic Mines, the knot has finally been broken. Since mid-December, the share price of this commodity gem has risen by around 50%. This is likely just the beginning, as there are good reasons for prices to continue rising, and analysts believe that a price gain of over 100% is still possible. D-Wave shares are also rallying. The quantum specialist recently announced a technological breakthrough. Further details are expected in the coming weeks. And what is Nel ASA doing? Shareholders are waiting for major orders from the problem child in the hydrogen sector. The industry is developing positively in Germany, for example. But Nel shares remain flat.

Stock market frenzy: Silver, high-tech, AI, or Bitcoin? 100% opportunities with Strategy, Finexity, Metaplanet, and TeamViewer
It is not exactly easy to keep a clear head as an investor at the moment. Political shortages of strategic metals, ever-new geopolitical flashpoints, and an enormous burden on Western households are weighing on the minds of stock investors. The fact that "long only" is becoming a profitable thesis in this environment is now a permanent novelty. Historically, after substantial upturns of more than 20%, there have always been periods of consolidation. However, these are no longer visible, and every day of waiting costs returns. Whether silver, copper, AI, or high-tech stocks, the hard-won fixed-income returns in the 2% range have already been wiped out since the beginning of the year. But there is one exception: if we consider the crypto market as an alternative to currencies and stocks, it has been on a noticeable hiatus since fall 2025. But in recent days, there has been a spring awakening here as well. We are looking for current opportunities!

+23% price increase in just a few days! DroneShield, BioNTech, and WashTec shares!
DroneShield shares have already gained over 23% in the first few trading days of the year. The drone defense specialist is receiving a boost from two orders placed shortly before the turn of the year. Is it now heading towards an all-time high? WashTec shares are also performing strongly. While German stocks are weakening overall, WashTec shares are at their highest level in a long time, and analysts see further upside potential. BioNTech has important study data coming up in 2026. But first, the acquisition of CureVac will be completed. This marks the end of a stock market story that caused only brief euphoria.

AI's energy hunger and decarbonization: How Siemens Energy, CHAR Technologies, and Plug Power are positioning themselves to profit
The global energy transition is caught in a paradoxical race: While electricity demand is exploding due to AI and electrification, decarbonization must succeed. This collision is creating a billion-dollar market for companies that solve fundamental bottlenecks, from grid stability to green industrial energy to the hydrogen economy. Three pioneers exemplify this systemic change. Their strategies could not be more different, as current developments at Siemens Energy, CHAR Technologies, and Plug Power show.
