Saturn Oil & Gas, TORC Oil & Gas, Whitecap Resources - it's time for harmless oil!

In recent years, there has been a growing trend in modern society that food must originate from the region and a declaration as 'organic' is now considered mandatory. Coffee beans from distant countries should definitely carry the label 'Fairtrade' and blood diamonds are rightly considered frowned upon. Consumers have changed the supply with their purchasing and market power. When will the oil market change?

    Top 10 oil production

    The global oil market is as large as all other commodity markets combined. It is therefore all the more important that this market functions properly, i.e. that supply and demand can meet in equal quantities to ensure fair pricing. In October 2019, the USA led the list of producing countries with a quantity of 12.6 million barrels per day.

    Russia ranked second with 10.6 million barrels, followed by Saudi Arabia with 10.3 million barrels, Iraq with 4.6 million barrels and China with 3.8 million barrels. In sixth place was Canada with 3.6 million barrels per day, followed by Kuwait with 2.6 million barrels, Nigeria with 2.0 million barrels, Norway with 1.5 million barrels and Angola with 1.4 million barrels.

    Tolerance despite death penalties

    It is no secret that countries that rely on large deposits of raw materials are not necessarily modern and developed. Often dictators and autocrats have such countries firmly in their grip and the revenues tend to seep into private pockets rather than to promote and advance society.

    For example, the death penalty is on the agenda in many producing countries and a large part of the proceeds from oil production goes into the military budget. The latter is probably also one reason why the political tolerance of the Western world towards countries with little understanding of human rights is so great.

    More than 100 million barrels per day

    With its high environmental standards, Canada is virtually the 'organic farmer' among the oil-producing countries. Based on facts, it is probably only a matter of time before a new trend emerges that oil must come from countries that, like Canada, protect the environment and respect human rights.

    A development that will also benefit the companies Saturn Oil & Gas, TORC Oil & Gas and Whitecap Resources. The demand for oil in modern society will remain unbroken for many decades to come. Demand will continue to come not only from the energy sector, but also from other processing industries that require crude oil as an ingredient. Would consumers at the gas station prefer harmless fuel?

    The Dividend Trap: Why RE Royalties Offers Greater Structural Stability Than Petrobras and Maersk

    In times of geopolitical uncertainty and volatile markets, investors seek dependable cash flow. Dividend stocks are often perceived as a safe haven in stormy weather, but appearances can often be deceiving. Investors who focus solely on headline dividend yields frequently ignore the structural risks embedded in the underlying business model. An oil major exposed to political interference or a shipping conglomerate whose earnings fluctuate with freight rate cycles may struggle to sustain dividend commitments over the long term. In this environment, it is worth taking a closer look at the substance. While giants such as Petrobras and AP Moller-Maersk are struggling with cyclical challenges, Canadian niche player RE Royalties has developed a model positioned to benefit from one of the biggest investment waves of our time - while elegantly sidestepping many of the typical industry risks.

    Commodity markets are undergoing a historic turning point. While precious metals are shining as safe havens, the energy transition continues to drive lithium demand. But the real pressure point lies in critical raw materials such as antimony or tungsten, whose supply is extremely strained due to geopolitical conflicts. This fragmentation of the supercycle is creating unique opportunities for strategically positioned companies. Three key players are ready to benefit: Rio Tinto, Globex Mining, and Glencore.

    2025 will once again go down in history as a strong year for the stock market. This is particularly surprising from a German perspective, as the DAX, long considered an underperformer, even outperformed the leading US market with a gain of over 20%. However, anyone who believes that the coming year will be a simple continuation of this trend is likely to be disappointed. Many market observers expect prices to continue rising, buoyed by AI investments, fiscal tailwinds, and robust earnings. At the same time, however, the risks of unexpected turns are growing. High valuations, possible sector rotations, and underestimated asset classes could make 2026 a year in which flexibility is more important than blind optimism.
