Southern Copper, Power Metallic Mines, Vale: The Commodities Story Is Gaining Significant Momentum
The race for artificial intelligence, satellite networks, and global military buildup is intensifying the battle for strategic commodities. Copper, in particular, is becoming a bottleneck for global industry, as power grids, data centers, missiles, and modern weapons systems require enormous quantities of the metal. At the same time, supply remains tight, and even major producers are struggling with declining output. This is bringing exploration companies with high-grade deposits even more into the spotlight, while established mining conglomerates face rising demands and falling production figures.

The "Magnificent Seven" Stumble, Dragging the S&P 500 Lower; Oil Tops USD 90; VIX Surges – Barrick Mining, Deutsche Börse, DRC Gold, Alphabet, Tesla
Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla make up the "Magnificent Seven" and account for roughly one-third of the S&P 500's market capitalization. When two of these heavyweights, Alphabet and Tesla, come under pressure, the broader market feels the impact. Their declines alone shaved around 0.6% off the S&P 500, while the VIX volatility index surged by as much as 17%. Meanwhile, WTI crude oil climbed nearly 5% to above USD 90 per barrel, boosting energy stocks such as Chevron and ExxonMobil. Industrial names, including Caterpillar and Deere, also gained ground. Gold and silver prices also stabilized after recent weakness, while government bonds came under renewed selling pressure as rising inflation expectations pushed yields higher.

Promising Explorer Kobo Resources Heading for a Busy Fall? Endeavour Mining and Perseus Mining Under Pressure
West Africa stands out for its vibrant mining scene. A lot is happening in the region right now. While the major mining giants are investing billions in their existing operations to extend mine lifetimes, an increasing number of smaller players are also coming into focus with high-grade discoveries. In Côte d'Ivoire in particular, there is already existing processing infrastructure that needs to be utilized to full capacity. This is driving activity along the Birimian greenstone belt. The race for promising gold properties near existing milling capacity has begun. In this way, corporations are avoiding extensive new investments and permitting processes while breathing new life into existing facilities. We explain the trend and highlight a potential beneficiary.

Experts Recommend Buying Gold and Silver! Barrick Mining, Newmont, First Majestic Silver, and Desert Gold in Focus
Is it time to buy gold and silver stocks again? Precious metals expert Markus Bußler, among others, believes so. According to him, the risk-reward ratio is attractive once more. Previously, JPMorgan had expressed a bullish outlook, setting a price target of USD 6,000 per troy ounce of gold. Although silver is still working its way toward a technical bottom, Bußler views the core investment First Majestic positively. He had previously been rather skeptical about Barrick. However, there may be positive news in August. Analysts at GBC Research believe Desert Gold's stock is poised for a summer rally. The company is launching gold production in a small section of its massive SMSZ project. The cash flows achievable there already exceed the company's market capitalization.

The New China: Power Metallic Mines, GE Aerospace, and DHL Group See Investment Opportunities in Saudi Arabia
The FIFA World Cup has just come to an end, and the roadmap for future tournaments is already in place. The most forward-looking executives are now turning their attention to the host nation of the 2034 FIFA World Cup: Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom is not only awash in cash—it is also opening up more and more and strategically channeling its vast oil wealth into new industries. Three companies that stand to benefit particularly from this transformation are Canadian resource explorer Power Metallic Mines, the US jet engine manufacturer GE Aerospace, and the logistics giant DHL Group, still affectionately known to many investors as the former Deutsche Post. At the same time, all three companies are positioned at the center of major long-term trends, including rising military spending, secure supply chains, electric mobility, and the continued growth of e-commerce.

Gold Price Above USD 4,000 and Central Bank Rally: Barrick Mining, Lahontan Gold, Newmont—Time to Buy Now?
The gold price is holding firmly above USD 4,000, supported in part by central bank purchases. In May, Poland, China, and Chile increased their reserves by a net total of 41 metric tons, with China marking its 20th consecutive month of increases. According to a survey, 89% of central banks expect their holdings to continue growing, and 45% plan to make additional purchases in the coming year. This fundamental tailwind is boosting the entire sector. That is reason enough to take a closer look at Barrick Mining, a gold and copper producer; Lahontan Gold, an up-and-coming Nevada gold producer; and industry leader Newmont.

Software giants are longing for a new gold rush! SAP, ServiceNow, TeamViewer, and DRC Gold are stepping into the spotlight
The stock market is currently showing no mercy. Against a backdrop of growing belligerence, excessive debt, and rising inflation, growth stocks are repeatedly making a run toward higher valuations. "Asset inflation" is the buzzword. It actually reached a short-term peak in early June with the IPO of Elon Musk's marvel, "SpaceX." Since then, the market has been moving sideways, and occasionally downward, amid high volatility. While chip stocks celebrated an explosive summer rally, software stocks like SAP, TeamViewer, and ServiceNow took a steep nosedive. Are there already serious hopes for a rebound here? Even gold, which had been performing exceptionally well, reaching a new all-time high of over USD 5,400 in January, came under pressure. DRC Gold, an advanced explorer on Africa's east coast, is reporting good progress and is weathering the correction in the precious metals sector well, as evidenced by its share price performance. It is hard to imagine where the market might go if investors jump back on the gold bandwagon!

Gold: Positioning for the Fed with Equinox Gold, Lahontan Gold, and Aya Gold & Silver
The Federal Reserve's leadership will meet again on September 16, and the outlook remains highly uncertain. Some market analysts expect interest rate hikes. Conversely, however, some anticipate an interest rate cut—their argument: the US midterm elections are coming up in November. Donald J. Trump wants lower interest rates. He has already made this clear to the new Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, in a post on Truth Social. Our view is straightforward: low interest rates are bullish for the stock market. The past 18 months have shown that the President places considerable importance on supporting financial markets. The decision is likely to be a close one, however, and keeping rates unchanged should not be ruled out, especially since the Fed could still act at its October meeting. Either way, we expect interest rates to fall. By then at the latest, the price of gold should start to recover. For weeks, the precious metal has traded in a narrow range around USD 4,000 per ounce. Positive signals from the Fed could provide the catalyst for a breakout. For investors, however, gold mining stocks often offer greater upside than the metal itself. That is why we are taking a closer look at Equinox Gold, Lahontan Gold, and Aya Gold & Silver.

Benefit from the scarcity of energy and raw materials through Occidental Petroleum, Globex Mining, and MP Materials
The days of speculating on commodity prices are over. Anyone betting on energy and metals today must understand the underlying power dynamics. Who is supplying, who is processing, and who still has access to the key production sites in an era of bloc formation and sanctions? Demand for strategic goods is skyrocketing, while investment in new mines and refineries has stagnated for years. This gap between political will and physical production limits opens up a new playing field for investors. Three completely different business models demonstrate how to capitalize on this trend: Occidental Petroleum, Globex Mining, and MP Materials.
