Iran conflict and oil prices at USD 100? Caution advised for Nel ASA, A.H.T. Syngas, and Plug Power
The stock markets are in absolute stress mode! The US dollar has been depreciating for days, silver, gold, and copper are skyrocketing, and yesterday oil also started to rise. The threatening gestures from Washington are slowly making it clear that the number of geopolitical conflicts could even expand to include Iran in the short term. The Pentagon has sent an armada of ships to the Persian Gulf. Just another Donald show? Maybe, but maybe not! On platform X, he makes it unmistakably clear that an intervention in Iran's sovereignty could be imminent at any time. This means absolute "panic mode" for the commodity markets, as Iran produces over 4 million barrels of oil per day, and Western industries fear for their supply chains. We take a look at a few scenarios that are related to this situation in extended mode.

The witch dance continues! Another 100% with TKMS, DroneShield, Pasinex, or the new CSG?
The stock markets are extremely volatile, so it is time to take a closer look at some of the key players. Many investors are now focusing on a scenario of ongoing war. Hardly anyone expects real peace to be achieved, as a recent survey shows: 72% of those surveyed do not expect any of the existing trouble spots to enter a state of peace in 2026. This means that public skepticism is higher than the current "super summit talks" between the superpowers around the globe would suggest. In addition to defense stocks, commodity stocks also remain in a state of constant battle. Scarce metals appear to be becoming even scarcer, judging by the spot price. Anyone looking at the precarious situation in Europe should take a closer look at Pasinex Resources' zinc project. Here are a few tips on how to generate a 100% return.

Puma takeover is becoming more concrete! Should investors buy Evotec and Silver Viper shares next?
Takeover speculation has been swirling around Puma for some time. Now it has become more tangible: Anta has secured a 29% stake in the German sporting goods group, paying EUR 35 per share. However, the euphoria on the stock market is limited. Are there better opportunities for investors to profit from takeover speculation? One candidate in the hot silver market is Silver Viper. The Company is pushing ahead with exciting projects in Mexico. Its recent capital increase met with strong demand, and a financially powerful potential buyer already has a foot in the door. And what about Evotec? The perennial takeover candidate is still not gaining momentum. That said, the biotech company is benefiting from the sale of one of its own holdings, which is expected to bring in around USD 160 million.

In the eye of the commodities storm: How Aspermont, with its 190-year history, is becoming the data center of the mining industry
Gold is breaking records, copper is driving the energy transition, and critical raw materials such as rare earths are becoming a geopolitical currency. While investors are considering direct commodity investments, a company that has transformed itself into an indispensable architect of this new era is operating in the background: Aspermont. Once a traditional specialist publisher, the Company has quietly evolved into a data-driven control center for global mining. In a market characterized by resource nationalism and supply chain stress, reliable information is the most valuable commodity. Aspermont delivers just that, not as a cyclical player, but as a provider of critical infrastructure for decision-making. This transformation is complete, financially sound, and meets with a perfect environment.

Silver Viper Minerals – The perfect combination of a silver boom, exploration potential, and takeover speculation
All eyes are on silver. Recently, the price per troy ounce almost reached the USD 120 mark. Even though short-term speculation is on the rise, one thing is certain: the silver market is experiencing a sustained and structural supply deficit. All in all, these are favorable conditions for existing and prospective producers. Mexico is the global leader in silver production and is dynamically developing new deposits. Investors can benefit from this situation with Silver Viper Minerals shares. Under the leadership of an experienced management team with a strong track record, the Company is developing large, high-quality silver properties in the Central American country. Further progress is also fueling takeover speculation.

Silver soon at USD 200? Buying at elevated levels or seizing opportunities with CSG, American Atomics, and Carl Zeiss Jena
After a nervous start to the year, commodities and energy issues are once again firmly in focus on global capital markets. Recent discussions around trade tariffs and geopolitical dependencies, topics that also dominated the World Economic Forum in Davos, have triggered pronounced volatility. At the same time, heightened volatility is opening up attractive opportunities for investors. Whether silver, copper, nickel, lithium, or uranium, these metals are essential for industry, the energy transition, and electromobility. Their growing strategic importance is driving up prices and increasingly acting as an inflationary force in Western economies. The underlying factors include disrupted supply chains, export-policy uncertainties, and a tight structural supply deficit. In China, for example, solar module manufacturers are reportedly beginning to stockpile silver, as physical material is becoming increasingly difficult to source. As a result, the price of silver has multiplied within just one year, and physical demand now significantly exceeds global annual production. Investors should take note.

PRICE EUPHORIA at OHB! Rheinmetall takes on Airbus and Elon Musk? D-Wave completes acquisition! Finexity shares take off!
Could Rheinmetall, together with OHB, soon challenge Elon Musk's Starlink and Airbus? At any rate, OHB's share price reacted with a jump of more than 50%. Finexity shares have also surged. Following its pilot project with a savings bank, the Company has brought another exciting partner on board for its marketplace for tokenized assets. The price jump is likely to be just the beginning, as the market capitalization remains low. By contrast, D-Wave shares are showing no signs of slowing down. The Company has successfully completed an important acquisition, which is expected to be a milestone in strengthening its leading position in the quantum computing space.

The next major battery story is not being written in China – it is being led by the TSMC clone, NEO Battery Materials
The tech revolution has a blind spot. While billions are being poured into the development of AI, advanced robotics, and autonomous systems, one fundamental problem often remains unresolved: energy storage. The performance of these high-tech devices is determined by their weakest component - and increasingly that component is the battery. China dominates the mass market, but a critical gap is emerging: namely, demand for flexible, high-performance, non-Chinese battery solutions. This is precisely the vacuum NEO Battery Materials is stepping into with an approach that mirrors the semiconductor industry.

Stock markets under pressure! High momentum expected for Siemens Energy, Pure One Corp., and E.ON
After months of back and forth, there was a shift in investors' sector choices at the start of 2026. The popular tech stocks that were the top performers in 2025 have largely been sidelined, while the commodities, energy, and defense sectors are experiencing a significant rally. The World Economic Forum in Davos did not bring any major news for the economy. What is becoming clear is that the US is continuing on its harsh course, and the rest of the world must prepare for a scenario of ongoing shortages and fragile supply chains. There is also a noticeable return to fossil fuels, which are needed on a large scale, especially during long, cold winters when the sun and wind are not available. For individual companies, this is a license to print money. For investors, however, the choice remains agonizing.
