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.

ILA 2026 Unveils the Winners: Conquering the Next Multi-Billion-Dollar Aviation Market with Rheinmetall, Volatus Aerospace, and Boeing
The next stage of aerial warfare is not a distant scenario, but a tangible industrialization trend that has taken the capital markets by storm. NATO exercises, lessons learned from Ukraine, and the 2026 International Aerospace Exhibition all underscore the urgent shift toward networked, autonomous systems. Investors should not dismiss this as a mere technological gimmick. In the future, the decisive factor will no longer be the platform alone, but rather mastery of entire ecosystems comprising sensors, software, and integration. Those who identify the right companies early on will participate in a market driven by rising defence budgets and political momentum. We take a closer look at Rheinmetall, Volatus Aerospace, and Boeing.

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.

150% Opportunity and Risk at the Same Time! Kobo Resources on the Verge of Gold, TUI, easyJet, and Lufthansa Attractively Valued
With extreme volatility expected in 2026, one thing remains clear: gold serves as a portfolio stabilizer. In an environment of rising inflation, increasing interest rates, and soaring commodity prices, precious metals have performed strongly so far. Due to the Iran conflict, travel and tourism stocks in particular have come under pressure, as they are affected by weaker travel demand, tighter household budgets, and ultimately higher fuel costs. But those who look beyond the immediate horizon recognize that crises are temporary, and fear-driven valuation discounts can create medium-term buying opportunities. For risk-conscious investors, these scenarios present investment opportunities that would not be expected under normal circumstances. For instance, Deutsche Lufthansa is currently trading at around 30% below its book value, while TUI is trading at a P/E ratio of about 5. Is this irrational? In the short term, perhaps not. In the long term, however, it may well be. As the saying goes: buy when the cannons thunder.

Long-established German companies under pressure: BASF, Lufthansa, and antimony pioneer Antimony Resources
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
German industry is facing a severe test: recent media reports indicate that production shortages are already emerging due to the Strait of Hormuz blockade. Two crisis hotspots are converging. A military blockade of the world's most important energy trade route has restricted supplies of crude oil, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and chemical feedstocks such as methanol. At the same time, China is leveraging its dominance in critical minerals, such as antimony, to impose restrictive export controls, further drying up the market. In this environment, raw material sovereignty is the decisive competitive factor. While giants like BASF and Lufthansa are adapting their business models to the situation, problem solvers like Antimony Resources are moving into the spotlight.

All-Time High for Gold, Volatility Rising! thyssenkrupp, AJN Resources, Airbus, and Lufthansa in Focus
The stock market is preparing for a hot fall. While inflation figures show no sign of weakening, gold and silver are climbing to new record levels. Rising debt levels and growing geopolitical tensions are fueling this trend. So far, capital markets have largely held their ground without major losses. However, US President Donald Trump's trade policy has suffered a severe setback. With his plan to impose comprehensive tariffs on goods from almost all countries in the world, invoking an emergency law from 1977, he has clearly exceeded his powers, and the courts are now stepping in. One clear warning sign: volatility is high, and valuations have reached extreme levels. The Shiller P/E ratio for the S&P 500 now stands at 40, far above the historical range of 15 to 27 over the last 30 years - making 2025 an absolutely exceptional year in terms of overvaluation. We are on the lookout for promising stocks, and gold should not be overlooked as a strategic portfolio addition.

Volatus Aerospace – The next era of security technologies begins now
Geopolitical conflicts, overarching security requirements, and empty budgets pose a significant challenge for governments and administrations today. This is because highly sensitive and critical infrastructures have been created in recent decades, requiring significant public investment. These now need to be protected and maintained. In the digital age, these decision-making processes require a wealth of data that must be collected and evaluated regularly. Artificial intelligence accelerates these processes, and this is where the big game changer lies for many service providers. Volatus Aerospace (TSX-V: FLT; WKN: A2JEQU; ISIN: CA92865M1023; EUR 0.09) is a highly specialized service provider in the field of airborne inspection, surveillance, and data analysis. Business is set to take off in the current quarter as the demand for critical information increases daily. There is still time to get on board.

Banks double 100%; now comes the gold rally! Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, Desert Gold and Lufthansa
The stock market keeps climbing, as evidenced by the ever-new highs of prominent indices like the NASDAQ 100, Dow Jones, Nikkei, or the DAX 40 index. While international high-tech stocks are setting the tone, financial stocks have now also returned to pre-pandemic profit levels. This is due to the return of interest margins. However, due to the poor economic situation, write-downs in loan portfolios now threaten. The generally depressing situation is also weighing on tourism companies. The situation is quite different for gold and silver. They finally reached new highs in May, and the momentum is likely to continue rapidly. What should investors pay urgent attention to now?

Total payments of six figures are due over the next four years. In addition, shares in Tomagold will be transferred to Globex Mining. While German Foreign Minister Baerbock was more conspicuous for flight mishaps, the Lufthansa Group achieved an adjusted EBIT of around EUR 1.1 billion in Q2/23. The subsidiaries SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings and Lufthansa Technik also posted record results. Furthermore, Rheinmetall is also taking to the skies - now supplying drones to Ukraine.
