Gold, Defense, Aerospace: Sector Rotation in Full Swing – SpaceX, OHB, Desert Gold, Rheinmetall, and TKMS

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • Silver
  • Commodities
  • Africa
  • Defense
  • Steel
  • Space

Stock markets remain surprisingly resilient as the end of June approaches, but the glossy surface is starting to fade in certain segments. The bull market in aerospace is losing steam, and in the defense sector, after many months of gains, profit-taking is now becoming noticeable. As a result, valuations are gradually re-aligning with fundamentals. For rational investors, market hype is difficult to reconcile with, but one thing remains clear: stocks that become excessively overvalued tend to correct sharply when expectations are pushed to extreme levels without sufficient justification. Just as with Elon Musk's inflated initial valuation, the exit bell has likely rung quite loudly for Rheinmetall as well. In the fall, analysts had been outbidding each other with price targets around EUR 2,200; now they are painfully backtracking. Price declines of 20% in just a few trading hours for the defence sector star, and a 30% drop from its peak for SpaceX. But there are other hot candidates worth a closer look. OHB is drawing attention following a significant capital increase, while TKMS has secured a major naval contract. These developments are actively reshaping market dynamics—we break down what it means in detail.

Strategy, DRC Gold, Rheinmetall: Opportunities After the Price Drop

The air is getting thinner for Bitcoin, gold, and many high-fliers on the stock markets. Should valuations come under further pressure, entirely new opportunities could open up for investors. As overheated markets correct, undervalued companies with real assets, promising commodity projects, and solid fundamentals are increasingly coming into focus. It is precisely during volatile market phases that the most attractive entry opportunities often arise.

Gold and Silver Correction Opens Up Excellent Opportunities at Kobo Resources, Barrick Mining, and First Majestic

  • Mining

  • Silver

Following an impressive rally in recent months, precious metal prices are correcting. Such pullbacks are nothing out of the ordinary. Rather, they offer investors the opportunity to establish or expand positions in promising stocks. Broadly speaking, two groups can be distinguished: producers and explorers, each with significantly different risk-reward profiles. Producers such as Barrick Mining and First Majestic represent established, cash-flow-rich companies with valuations in the billions. Kobo Resources is an exciting player in the exploration sector with significantly higher leverage. The company is making significant progress in Côte d'Ivoire, one of Africa's most dynamic gold regions.

Alarm at BMW! Sell-off at BioNTech! Desert Gold Undervalued!

Alarm at BMW. First, the company shocked shareholders with a profit warning. Now, business in China has collapsed. Analysts are finally reacting by slashing their estimates and price targets. Is it time to buy now? From the perspective of GBC Research, Desert Gold is the stock to buy right now. The company is set to transition from an explorer to a gold producer this summer. Analysts see its intrinsic value well above current price levels. And what about BioNTech? The share has been trading sideways for months. The announcement of location closures has drawn heavy criticism. Shareholders are equally disillusioned. Could rival Moderna, of all companies, now bring hope to the workforce?

DR Congo Tightens Regulatory Reins: Implications for Barrick Mining and Ivanhoe Mines – DRC Gold Could Benefit

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • Africa
  • Commodities

The mining sector in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is forcing resource companies to rethink their strategies. Under the banner of "mineral sovereignty," the Central African nation is transforming from a mere supplier into a regulated player that demands equity stakes, local value-added quotas, and strict regulatory enforcement. In particular, a ministerial circular dated January 30, 2026, casts a long shadow: By July 31, all active mine operators must demonstrate a minimum Congolese ownership stake of 10%, to be split equally between private investors and employee ownership. Since virtually no foreign corporation has fully met these criteria to date, the pressure for consolidation within the country is increasing significantly. In this complex situation, it becomes clear that long-standing country expertise, geological know-how, and effective networks are crucial for economic success. We shed light on the situation and highlight a potential beneficiary.

Value Creation Through Realignment: Why thyssenkrupp, Desert Gold, and Meta Are Now Fundamentally Attractive

The stock market is a barometer of change. Few things drive stock prices as much as a company's fundamental realignment—whether through radical operational changes or entry into promising technologies. For investors, these phases often open a window of opportunity in which the valuation does not yet fully reflect the company's actual potential. The trick lies in identifying those companies where the vision is already translating into a measurable path to value creation. We therefore take a closer look today at thyssenkrupp's divestiture plans, Desert Gold's transition from explorer to producer, and Meta's AI push.

Gold and Silver in Focus: Shares of Hecla Mining, Desert Gold, and Kinross Gold Offer Opportunities

Peace negotiations between the US and Iran have begun. The groundwork has been laid, and there is still plenty of time to reach a long-term agreement. Curiously, investors flocked to the US dollar during the hostilities—a currency that has actually been losing value for years. It remains something of a mystery to the stock markets why, of all things, the currency of a completely over-indebted country is supposed to be a safe haven. Many attribute this to developments in interest rate expectations. However, a strong dollar has weighed on the price of gold in recent months. The price has now stabilized above USD 4,000 per ounce. Goldman Sachs recently issued a market update and set a price target of USD 5,000 by year-end. While this is a few hundred dollars below the previous target, if the analysts' forecast proves accurate, gold stocks are likely to benefit significantly. That would represent a gain of about 20% over the current price. The situation is very similar in the silver market. There is a tight supply of physical silver, and the rising dollar has caused price pullbacks. We are therefore taking a look today at the stocks of three attractive companies in the precious metals sector: Hecla Mining, Desert Gold, and Kinross Gold.

Gold and Critical Metals in Buy Mode: In the Fast Lane with Barrick, BYD, VW, and North Arrow Minerals!

  • Mining

  • Electromobility
  • Copper
  • Africa

When it comes to critical metals and gold, Africa is a sought-after continent among investors. West Africa, in particular, has developed into one of the world's most significant gold-producing regions over the past two decades, with Barrick Mining—through its mines in Mali—playing a key role in unlocking the region's enormous geological potential. Deposits such as Loulo-Gounkoto are now among the company's most productive gold mines and impressively demonstrate the value that can be created when promising greenstone belts are systematically explored and developed. Barrick's success story also illustrates that many of today's major gold discoveries are no longer being made in traditional mining regions, but rather in areas that have seen little exploration. This realization is bringing the South African country of Botswana into the spotlight of global metals strategists. The politically stable country not only possesses significant deposits of critical metals such as copper, nickel, and rare battery metals, but also harbours geological structures comparable to the productive gold belts of West Africa. Investors are taking notice.

Trump Wants Lower Interest Rates: Riding the Gold Rally with Newmont, Desert Gold, and B2Gold

The recent stagnation in the gold market may be misleading. The fundamental backdrop is changing. Donald Trump wants to see interest rates fall and would like to see Jerome Powell replaced. At the same time, a weakening US dollar and continued gold purchases by central banks are creating a potentially powerful combination. These factors, underpinned by ongoing geopolitical tensions, are converging into a clear signal. The market may be approaching a turning point, where the next dynamic upward move appears increasingly likely. For investors, this opens up a strategic window of opportunity that could reward decisive action. We are therefore taking a closer look at industry leader Newmont, promising future gold producer Desert Gold, and established producer B2Gold.

Commodity markets have performed strongly over the past two years. Despite recent corrections in gold and silver, precious metals remain in high demand. Copper, tungsten, and rare earths are also benefiting from a boom in demand that extends far beyond a typical economic cycle. The drivers include the energy transition, the global expansion of data centers, the electrification of industry, and rising defence spending. At the same time, the supply of strategic commodities is increasingly becoming a matter of national security. Three winners of the commodities supercycle are Rio Tinto, KSB, and Desert Gold Ventures. With stocks from the speculative, value, and infrastructure sectors, investors have three different ways to bet on one of the most exciting trends of the coming years.
