Barrick Mining and Formation Metals shine – While Commerzbank now faces other concerns
The current gold boom is being fueled by a powerful driver: falling interest rates. In this environment, interest-bearing investments are losing their appeal, while the protective nature of metal shines. Driven by macroeconomic upheavals, investors are fleeing to the safe haven of gold. This boom is catapulting mining companies like Barrick Mining and exploration companies such as Formation Metals into the spotlight. The situation is quite different for institutions like Commerzbank: for them, the same interest rate cuts mean margin pressure, exacerbated by political risks in Europe and takeover speculation. An analysis of two contrasting worlds.

Achieve sustainable green returns of over 50%! How do Deutsche Bank, RE Royalties, and Nordex do it?
With the Green Deal, the European Union has committed itself to the most ambitious sustainability program in its history. Through multi-billion-euro funding instruments, from the EU taxonomy to the InvestEU Fund and the Innovation Fund, Brussels is directing capital specifically toward green technologies, renewable energy, and sustainable infrastructure. For investors, the triggers are clear: stricter climate regulations, rising CO₂ prices, and the increasing commitment of institutional investors to comply with ESG standards are creating structural demand for green projects. Those who invest early in low-emission business models benefit twice over - from political support and growing social acceptance. So what makes companies like Deutsche Bank, Nordex, and RE Royalties the winners?

In this article, we explain the business models surrounding Dubai, tokens, and the future of investing, and why a company from Hamburg is causing a stir.

Fed turnaround and Chinese restrictions: How Deutsche Bank, Globex Mining, and Barrick Mining are positioned
Two forces are currently driving global financial markets. On the one hand, there is the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy turnaround and on the other, China's restrictions on commodity exports. This dynamic is driving volatility and creating unique opportunities in the commodities and finance sectors. Against this backdrop, it is worth taking a look at three companies. We examine Deutsche Bank, which is excelling in its home market, Globex Mining with its huge commodities portfolio, and industry leader Barrick Mining, which is benefiting from historically high precious metal prices.

Tariff shock for Trump, Concerns about US banks, Gold hype: Globex Mining, Newmont, Bank of America
In recent months, many feared the US was on a path toward dictatorship. Fortunately, this is not yet the case, as demonstrated recently by a US federal appeals court ruling, which declared 75% of Donald Trump's tariffs to be illegal. The judges involved ruled independently of their political leanings – both supporters and opponents of the tariffs included Republicans and Democrats. While this is not such a bad thing for US political culture, it does harbour enormous risks: tariffs worth billions could now be reversed, and the US Federal Reserve may once again delay its planned interest rate cuts. One clear beneficiary of this uncertainty has been gold, with the precious metal reaching a new all-time high. We highlight the opportunities.

China boosts gold – Now insurers are joining in: Sranan Gold, China Life, Allianz
China is moving the markets. The latest China bombshell concerns gold. Starting this year, Chinese companies are required to invest 1% of their assets in physical gold. This change underscores the Chinese authorities' view that gold is a key anchor of stability for the financial system. Considering the huge capital reserves of Chinese insurers, up to USD 27 billion could flow into the gold market. Analysts are celebrating the additional institutional demand, and companies like China Life are showing strong cooperation. But the best news is yet to come for gold investors.

Banking crash ahead? Consultant warns of credit crunch! Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, Sranan Gold
Stress test success does not guarantee safety. Banks in the US are currently scoring well with good quarterly figures, and stress tests, which used to be a hurdle, have long since lost their terror. However, Yerbol Orynbayev, former Deputy Prime Minister of Kazakhstan, warns that if the regulation of large banks is scaled back in the wake of the stress tests passed in June and the positive quarterly figures, this could weaken regional banks and ultimately trigger a credit crunch. Orynbayev works as a consultant in the financial sector and has been living in the US since 2017.
