The key to higher returns: How ESG is making Newmont, Intel, and Almonty more successful
Just a few years ago, ESG was a buzzword that companies in industry and mining could use to present themselves in a favorable light. Today, standards for sustainable business practices are clearly defined and bring tangible benefits to all who adhere to them. For example, cooperation with local residents and adherence to high environmental standards at mining companies such as Newmont and Almonty ensure better financing conditions and motivated, skilled workers. Potential customers such as Intel also pay close attention to the conditions under which raw materials are extracted. In this article, we explain how ESG and returns go hand in hand.

Two-tier market for raw materials: BHP Group, Power Metallic Mines, BYD
The term "commodity" refers to a standardized, interchangeable product with no unique characteristics. However, this principle is beginning to falter. On the one hand, production conditions are becoming increasingly important for raw materials; on the other, in an era of conflicting power blocs, tariffs, and other trade barriers, raw materials are far from interchangeable. The further processing of raw materials also gives companies in the sector the opportunity to set themselves apart from the competition and generate unique selling points. Commodity? That was yesterday! We explain the current development using the examples of BHP Group, Power Metallic Mines, and BYD, and highlight the opportunities for investors.

100% with NATO contracts from the air! Airbus, Globex Mining, Boeing, and Lufthansa
The craziness continues! NATO member states have agreed on new planning targets for armaments and capabilities and, according to Secretary General Mark Rutte, have increased the requirements for air and missile defense by about 30%. Rutte stated: "We need more resources, troops, and capabilities to be prepared for any threat." German Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasised that Germany would provide all the necessary resources to expand the Bundeswehr into the strongest conventional army in Europe. According to experts, large-scale defense projects, particularly in the aerospace sector, will require enormous investments and far-reaching acquisitions. Across Europe, around EUR 300 billion is expected to be invested in air forces by 2030. Investors should now set the course to benefit from the flood of orders in the aerospace sector.

Ethiopia – The underestimated growth hotspot: WeBuild, Heineken, AJN Resources
Prejudices serve a purpose in the human psyche: they simplify things and help us process information more efficiently. But every now and then, we should take a critical look at our prejudices - especially when it comes to investing in Africa. Experts on the continent have always pointed out that each economy must be viewed on its own merits. Some countries have been making steady progress for years, and only the most astute investors are taking advantage of this. We take a look at Ethiopia and show that instead of suffering and misery, the country is increasingly offering stability and prosperity. It is no coincidence that major corporations like WeBuild, Heineken, and young innovators like AJN Resources are investing in this East African country.

Crash in the defense sector? Geopolitical conflicts drive up metal prices! Rheinmetall, Sranan Gold, Hensoldt, and RENK
Strategic metals are a decisive factor in the economic strength and military power of entire nations. International hotspots like the Middle East, Ukraine and, most recently, Africa are exacerbating shortages, as long-established trade routes can collapse abruptly. The high concentration of production in a few countries increases the vulnerability of supply chains to political intervention. Export bans, sanctions or targeted supply restrictions by China or Russia can quickly lead to critical supply shortages. In this environment, precious metals like gold, which is currently trading at historic price levels, are becoming even more important for investors, not least against the backdrop of record-high government debt worldwide. Those who act flexibly can benefit from this commodity dynamic. The long-running favorites of recent months in the defense sector now appear to be consolidating. Where to put the money?

Canopy Growth, Silver North Resources, Vonovia – Clear signals
Market volatility continues to rise, yet the US stock markets are still managing to defend their record highs. The price of silver made a comeback last week, closing above the USD 38 mark after several weeks of sideways movement. The ongoing uncertainty in both geopolitical and fiscal policy could help propel the precious metal to reach new highs, which should benefit both producers and exploration companies alike.

Interest rate poker and commodity chess: Deutsche Bank, Globex Mining, and Rio Tinto in focus
Geopolitical tensions are the new market standard, not the exception. Trade conflicts are escalating globally, tariffs are becoming a chess game over commodities and influence, and military shifts are destabilizing supply chains.

In this turbulent environment, an understanding of macroeconomic forces determines profit or loss. Those who read the signs will find opportunities. Which of these three players—Deutsche Bank, Globex Mining, and Rio Tinto—offers potential?
