US oil reserves are shrinking, and at the same time, demand forecasts are being revised upward by OPEC and the International Energy Agency. The reason for this is the assumption that the Corona pandemic will calm down in the current year and will ultimately lead to an increase in global oil demand.
In general, commodity prices are picking up on the expectation of an economic recovery. Thus, gold has also left the lows of 2 weeks ago and is currently struggling to break the critical USD 1,750 mark. The first attempt was rejected.

    SunMirror AG - Successful placement of convertible bond

    SunMirror AG is committed to implementing lean processes through its holding structure, enabling the Company to react quickly to trends in the commodity markets.

    SunMirror's portfolio includes iron ore, gold, cobalt, copper, lithium, nickel, rare earths and tin. The tin sector, in particular, is extremely interesting at the moment, as the conflict in Myanmar continues to smolder with no end in sight. Already in 2020, China bought half of the world's tin supply. Since the crisis in Mynamar, the price of tin has increased by about 70%. SunMirror owns a property in Australia, 23 km northeast of Marble Bar, where lithium, tantalum and tin were mined until 1986. However, since this was done by simple artisanal means, one suspects great potential in this area.

    On April 12, 2021, SunMirror raised fresh capital of USD 10 million through the placement of a convertible bond. If the exploration of the area mentioned above is successful, then there is enough capital to start mining lithium, tin and tantalum again. One can look forward to further company news.

    88 Energy Limited - High-risk investment with a great opportunity

    A stock that is currently much discussed on Reddit is 88 Energy Limited. Within a few weeks, the share price jumped over 900%, driven by news, reaching a high of USD 0.0919 on April 5. After that, there were problems with the exploration well and the price collapsed to USD 0.011.

    On April 12, 2021, the Company published an update. The sidewall cores taken in the Merlin-1 drill hole were analyzed on the surface before being sent to the laboratory for further analysis. Tests were taken in white and ultraviolet light to tease out fluorescence. Fluorescence is considered an indicator of the presence of oil. In the published photos, the fluorescence is clearly visible.

    David Wall, the CEO of 88 Energy, sees the cores' tests as further evidence of the presence of oil. A list of expected results is to be published in the coming days. From today's point of view, it is safe to say that no oil has been found so far and that it will probably be necessary to wait until next winter in Alaska before drilling can continue. Should oil be found, 645 million barrels of potential have been promised.

    Gazprom - Light and shadow

    The news at Gazprom is literally overflowing. Let's start with the bad news. On April 13, 2021, it became known that Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer (AKK) is said to have signaled a concession to the US on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from Russia to Germany. The US has been trying to prevent the completion of the pipeline for some time. AKK wants to regulate the purchase of gas from Russia and make it dependent on Russia's behavior, among other things.

    Now for the good news: On April 12, 2021, the feasibility study for the possible new pipeline between Russia and China via Mongolia was approved. The new pipeline is to be called Power of Siberia 2. The study is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

    On April 14, 2021, we also heard from Russia that Gazprom plans to distribute half of its net profit to shareholders. That is equivalent to about USD 0.3176 per ADR share. As a result, the share gained more than 6%.

    Barrick Gold, Globex Mining, BP - Commodities In the spotlight: Supercycle started?

    • Mining
    • Gold
    • Silver
    • Commodities
    • Oil
    • Gas

    Global demand for commodities is reaching new heights, partly driven by increasing geopolitical tensions. The exchange of attacks between Iran and Israel is a case in point. This conflict, deeply rooted in religious and political differences, continues to escalate and could have far-reaching consequences for international stability and commodity markets. With this latest escalation of the Middle East conflict, security aspects in the global competition for important resources such as gold, silver and copper are taking center stage. China is demonstrating its hunger for resources. However, the price of oil has also risen recently. There has long been talk of a commodity supercycle. Perhaps it has now finally begun. Where should one invest now?

    Discount battle over: Commodities on the counter-offensive! Rheinmetall, Power Nickel, BASF and Varta in focus

    Since the bombing of Israel by Iran, the clocks are ticking differently in the Middle East. The next stage of escalation has been reached. If Israel now uses the right to defense as an opportunity to initiate something bigger, it is here: the conflagration. Gold and silver are shining as safe-haven currencies and pulling long-neglected commodity shares through the roof. Now is the time to keep the sails in the wind and ride the long-awaited upward momentum. In the energy transition, strategically safer jurisdictions that can safely serve the growing hunger for commodities are still in demand. We highlight a few opportunities.

    The cannons are thundering, and gold and silver remain in demand! Barrick, Newmont, Desert Gold and SMT Scharf in focus

    The overnight attack by Iran on Israel underscores the current geopolitical uncertainty. Regardless of whether there is further escalation in the Middle East, the world has already changed dramatically since February 2022. This includes shifts in investor behavior. Until the first quarter of 2024, shares in the artificial intelligence and high-tech sectors were bullish; now, defense stocks and precious metals are on the agenda. After decades of disarmament, NATO, in particular, is now facing a decade of rearmament, and private investors are expressing their restraint in consumption by increasing their focus on private security. This is reflected in the increased purchases of gold and silver. For years, precious metals have been stable guarantors of the daily dwindling purchasing power. We believe that the new valuation cycle in the commodities sector is only just beginning, which is why we are examining favorable entry opportunities.
