GE Aerospace, Strategic Resources, BASF: Supply Chains Are Becoming a Billion-Dollar Market
Defence, aviation, energy infrastructure, and high-tech are driving demand for specialty metals and high-performance materials. At the same time, concerns in the West are growing about dependence on a handful of supplier countries for critical raw materials and industrial inputs. As a result, billions are no longer flowing solely into new factories but increasingly into securing entire supply chains. Anyone who owns, processes, or uses raw materials to produce indispensable components is taking centre stage strategically.

Tungsten: The Showstopper in Fragile Supply Chains? Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries and Airbus in Focus
The Middle East conflict is entering a new phase. Meanwhile, surging oil prices are putting the global economy under significant pressure and bringing strategic industries such as defense and aerospace into the spotlight. Rheinmetall and Airbus are not only grappling with geopolitical risks but also striving to maintain stable supply chains for urgently needed critical metals. In addition to copper, tungsten is gaining particular importance. This extremely hard, heat-resistant metal is indispensable for wear-resistant tools, special alloys, and numerous applications in the defence and aerospace industries. While ongoing tensions continue to drive up commodity prices, investors should look beyond the oil market to the key metals that will secure Europe's industrial future. Our focus is therefore on tungsten supplier Almonty, which is stepping up its game with new sourcing routes in Africa. A clear list of priorities makes sense!

Almonty: Analysts Speak Out – Airbus and Sandvik Need to Diversify Their Tungsten Supply
When huge turbines roar on the tarmac and passenger jets weighing several tonnes take off, few people think about how modern aeroplanes are manufactured and what is crucial to the process. Yet one extremely durable metal can determine the pace of modern aviation: tungsten. Without tungsten, the aviation industry's assembly lines could grind to a sudden halt. With a density close to that of gold and the highest melting point of any element, this critical metal can withstand extreme conditions. It is therefore essential not only in aerospace but also in a range of other future technologies, including fusion energy. Yet while the West is developing and building the latest-generation aircraft, China controls more than 80% of global tungsten production. This concentration of supply represents a highly dangerous strategic risk—but there is a solution.

Only the Sky's the Limit! 150% Potential After the Correction: Desert Gold, Lufthansa, Ryanair and easyJet
New highs, then a sharp pullback! It did not take long for rising interest rates to put pressure on traditional growth shares and force investors to rigorously reassess their portfolios. Even the safe haven of gold has not been spared this trend and is undergoing a substantial correction. However, this technical correction in certain shares and the precious metal creates an excellent entry point for fundamentally undervalued mining stocks such as Desert Gold. But other crisis-hit sectors are also appearing on the radar. Due to persistently high kerosene prices, forward-thinking investors are already turning their attention to the global aviation sector. This is because industry is currently still suffering noticeably from the strain of ongoing geopolitical conflicts. However, once a lasting diplomatic easing begins to emerge, airlines could be poised for a massive comeback. An end to the crises would drastically reduce fuel costs and reopen blocked flight routes worldwide. In addition, pent-up demand for travel among both leisure and business customers could trigger a sharp increase in bookings. Industry leaders such as Lufthansa, Ryanair and easyJet are operationally well positioned to benefit disproportionately from such a surge in demand. A sharp eye is essential!

Above the Clouds: Ryanair, Volatus Aerospace and Air France-KLM in Focus
Freedom is not always limitless above the clouds. High jet fuel prices are putting pressure on airlines' businesses, while rising ticket prices have made summer vacations in 2026 significantly more expensive. This is especially true in Europe, where jet fuel capacity remains limited. Nevertheless, the market is currently showing signs of easing. Since the outbreak of the war, many airline stocks have recovered. It is therefore worth taking a closer look at the shares of low-cost carrier Ryanair and the premium carrier Air France-KLM. For investors who would rather avoid the poor predictability of airline stocks, there is still an opportunity to look to the skies by considering shares of Volatus Aerospace.

Aviation Stocks in Focus: Airbus, Volatus Aerospace and Lufthansa
High jet fuel prices, airspace closures due to war or wildfires, and geopolitical factors are making life difficult for companies across the entire aviation sector. Despite these circumstances, however, the markets for drones and civil aviation continue to grow. On the one hand, people want to continue traveling and flying. On the other hand, markets are opening up for both new and established companies with the emergence of redefined flying objects. That is why we are taking a look today at the stocks of Airbus, Volatus Aerospace, and Lufthansa.

Use the Pullback in Gold as a Buying Opportunity? 100% Upside with Barrick Mining, Desert Gold, TUI, and Lufthansa
Every day, we are bombarded with headlines about wars, conflicts, and human tragedies—who has the heart to think about vacation right now? Yet it is precisely in moments like these that taking a break can be more valuable than ever. Investors have been navigating a maze of geopolitical uncertainty for years. Yet, the stock markets have so far shown remarkable resilience—because there are always sectors that come into sharp focus during times of crisis. Precious metals like gold and silver have confidently weathered the inflationary spikes following the COVID-19 pandemic. Historical data shows that gold has generated positive real returns during all periods of inflation—averaging about 6.2% per year over the long term, and as high as 8.8% during periods of high inflation. The travel sector, on the other hand, is on an emotional roller coaster. Current conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, are leading to declines in bookings, rising energy prices, and uncertainty among both travelers and providers. If an itinerary is too risky, plans must be changed at the last minute. But as soon as the situation eases, catch-up effects follow. What has worked in recent years is back on the agenda: buy when the world seems to be falling apart.

Europe Facing a Tungsten Shock? Airbus and Siemens Under Pressure—Could Almonty Double?
Walking through the production facilities of European industrial giants such as Airbus or Siemens, it is easy to overlook just how fragile many of their supply chains have become. On Tuesday, Switzerland's Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) assessed the situation with regard to the EU: Western industry is caught in a dangerous cycle of dependency from which it can hardly free itself on its own. Since China significantly tightened export controls on tungsten in February 2025, tungsten prices have surged, in some cases rising seven to ninefold. Meanwhile, European initiatives such as the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) have struggled to gain traction due to limited funding and lengthy permitting processes. Without reliable alternative suppliers, manufacturing operations across Europe could face serious disruptions. In this article, we examine the current market dynamics and take a closer look at Almonty, one of the West's leading tungsten producers, which is widely viewed as a potential beneficiary of the tightening global supply situation.

Soaring Stock Prices, a Billion-Dollar Ruling, and the Green Transition: The Big Return Showdown Between Lufthansa, Bayer, and A.H.T. Syngas
Sometimes, a single court ruling is enough to fundamentally alter the outlook for a listed company. Bayer demonstrated this vividly this week. Meanwhile, Lufthansa is climbing to new annual highs, supported by falling oil prices and a surprisingly stable credit rating. Then there is A.H.T. Syngas, a small but ambitious provider of biomass power plants that has either just emerged from a consolidation phase, or may be approaching the end of one. Three very different companies, three distinct stages of development—yet all three are worth a closer look at this moment. If you want to understand where opportunities may lie and where caution is warranted, read on.
