First Majestic Silver, Desert Gold, Strategy: Correction Creates Historic Entry Opportunities
Gold, silver, and Bitcoin are currently under pressure. In the past, such correction phases have often laid the groundwork for the next upward trend. While profit-taking and a more cautious monetary policy are weighing on prices in the short term, the long-term drivers remain intact. Record debt levels, geopolitical tensions, strong demand for gold from central banks, growing industrial demand for silver driven by the energy transition and AI, and the increasing institutional acceptance of Bitcoin continue to point toward rising prices. This could open up attractive entry opportunities for select companies in these future-oriented markets.

Oil, Gold, or Bitcoin? Is Now the Right Time to Invest in Shell, Kobo Resources, and Strategy?
An oil price that fluctuates wildly due to geopolitical risks and economic concerns, a gold price that has recently consolidated after hitting new record highs and is hailed as a safe haven, and a Bitcoin that is undergoing a sobering correction after spectacular surges. While some are betting on the stability of the precious metal, others sense a major opportunity in the volatile crypto market. Investors are spoiled for choice. But the real art lies not in choosing a single asset class, but in combining them wisely. So today, we take a look at one company from each sector: Shell, Kobo Resources, and Strategy.

Will China Push Gold to USD 6,000? Barrick Mining and Newmont Earn Buy Ratings as DRC Gold Targets Outperformance
Gold and gold stocks are currently attractive to contrarian investors. Recently, JPMorgan raised hopes for a new precious metals rally. Experts believe USD 6,000 per troy ounce is still possible this year. In particular, they say developments in China are being underestimated. This is good news for gold stocks, which, like the gold price, have underperformed so far this year. Analysts have recently made slight adjustments to the price targets for industry heavyweights Barrick Mining and Newmont. However, both stocks remain "Buy" ratings. Shares of exploration companies are considered a way to gain exposure to the gold price. In this sector, DRC Gold is a compelling stock. DRC CEO Klaus Eckhof developed the Kibali mine, which is currently still in operation. "Reuters" describes Kibali as one of Africa's largest gold mines. Eckhof aims to repeat that success with DRC Gold. The goal is to build up a resource of over 10 million ounces within a few years. Important news is on the horizon and could drive the stock higher.

Interest Rates, Commodities, and Real Estate: Why Deutsche Bank, Globex Mining, and Vonovia Could Help Diversify a Portfolio
The European Central Bank continues to keep markets guessing over the path of interest rates, geopolitical risks remain elevated, and Germany's residential property market is still searching for stability. The key question is no longer which sector will outperform, but how banks, commodities, and residential real estate can be combined to help balance interest rate risk and broader market volatility. Investors who focus solely on gold or a potential real estate rebound may overlook the more complex reality: monetary policy, commodity cycles, and construction costs each follow their own dynamics. As a result, diversification across these themes is becoming increasingly important. Deutsche Bank, Globex Mining with its diversified commodities portfolio, and the real estate group Vonovia each represent one of these three pillars and could serve as complementary building blocks within a well-diversified portfolio.

Swinging Up and Down – Will 2026 Bring More Record Highs? Rheinmetall, TKMS, Kobo Resources, and Hensoldt
The conflict in the Middle East has intensified once again. Efforts to reach a lasting agreement have so far failed, and a ceasefire based on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) proved short-lived. Just days after it was announced, reports of renewed attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz and on critical energy infrastructure in the Gulf region have once again heightened geopolitical tensions. For oil prices, this is a bullish factor; for the stock market, it means yet another period of heightened volatility with sharp initial losses followed by recovery rallies. Yesterday, Germany's DAX 40 index climbed back above the key 25,000 mark, while defence stocks that had previously come under pressure moved back into the spotlight. At the same time, gold and silver prices weakened, possibly reflecting renewed liquidity pressures in global financial markets. The evolving market dynamics warrant a closer look.

A recent escalation of tensions between the US and Iran has fueled geopolitical conflicts and once again brought the gold market into the spotlight.

A closer analysis of the strategic positioning of Newmont, DRC Gold, and Agnico Eagle could provide some answers.

Gold Expert Turns Bullish! Is Now the Time to Buy Barrick Mining, Desert Gold, and First Majestic Silver?
Is the weakness in the gold price nearing an end? Precious-metals expert Markus Bußler believes so. He sees little reason to expect a prolonged cycle of further interest rate hikes, and the bond market appears to support that view. If he is right, now could be an attractive time to increase exposure to gold mining stocks. Many investors naturally turn to Barrick Mining. However, the company's strategic direction has recently raised questions. Desert Gold Ventures, by contrast, could be approaching a key inflection point as it prepares to begin gold production. Analysts currently recommend the stock as a "Buy". Meanwhile, the silver price has fallen sharply in recent months, putting pressure on shares of First Majestic Silver. Even so, the company is working on a new growth driver.

Lahontan Gold: Three Gold Sources, One Historic Mine, a Clear Roadmap to Gold Production
The countdown is on! While gold prices remain high, Lahontan Gold in Nevada is preparing to begin production. The drilling results from the past few weeks paint a picture that goes far beyond the usual exploration business. This is not the usual hype surrounding yet another drill hole in the desert. What is currently unfolding at Lahontan Gold is of a different calibre. Here, they are not just searching for gold; they are reviving a mine that was already in production back in the late 1980s. The infrastructure is in place, permits are nearing approval, and three separate gold sources promise a rare combination of low risk and significant upside potential. For investors familiar with the commodities sector, these are exactly the ingredients that turn a junior project into a genuine production contender.

Commodity Stocks in Focus: Kinross Gold, Strategic Resources, and Barrick Mining
Interest-rate expectations in the United States have fallen sharply. By now, the markets are only pricing in a single rate hike. And even that one looks at risk in light of Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's comments on inflation. Few or no further rate hikes this year are poison for the dollar. A weaker greenback, however, usually drives the commodity markets. Accordingly, gold, silver and other metals should benefit from this constellation. In any case, gold has already managed its first rebound off the low. That is why we are looking at the shares of Kinross Gold, Strategic Resources and Barrick Mining today.

Barrick Mining, Desert Gold and B2Gold – lock in the premium as risk falls
Illegal gold outflows have cost Mali billions each year, but the new Malian Office of Precious Substances is ending that era. The agency centralizes precious-metals trading, collects overdue levies and has already recovered more than USD 1 billion. For investors, this shift means transparent rules, booming official exports and, above all, falling risk. That sends the margins of compliant producers surging. We analyze how Barrick Mining is proceeding, how Desert Gold is taking the decisive step toward producer status and how B2Gold is expanding its market position.
