Iran Conflict Boosting Margins: BASF, Lahontan Gold, E.ON, and Lanxess in focus
Brent crude at USD 100 – this is a game-changer! The recent attack on Qatar's key LNG facility has taken 17% of annual production off the market, and the global LNG market faces a multi-year structural deficit. A doubling of gas prices around the globe in just 12 hours also sent oil prices soaring. Worse still: The Strait of Hormuz is currently blocked, and neither oil nor gas tankers can even begin their voyages at sea. For the winding-down winter season in Europe, the problem is not overwhelming, but filling gas storage facilities over the summer is likely to prove difficult. In this environment, gold has been benefiting again since mid-week, up 5% to USD 4,550; at the crisis low, the price had even dipped to USD 4,150. How are select gold companies and major gas consumers like BASF and Lanxess faring right now? What about E.ON? Here are a few thoughts.

DAX & Gold Correction: 100% Gains Possible with SAP, Kobo Resources, and Oracle
High volatility is shaping daily trading. With the threat of an airstrike on Iranian nuclear power plants, the major stock markets came under extreme pressure. As a result, the closely watched DAX 40 index briefly fell below 22,000 points, in tandem with the NASDAQ. As a reminder, the annual high was set in January at 25,508 points. The price of gold also suffered from the general trend toward liquidity; everything that was not firmly in place was sold off. However, since Wednesday, there have been initial signs of easing, and buybacks are beginning. We are focusing on the promising projects of Kobo Resources in Côte d'Ivoire and also believe that cloud and AI experts SAP and Oracle are poised for a turnaround in 2026. We are convinced that one of these stocks will achieve a 100% return over the next two years. Of course, you are free to choose how to structure your portfolio.

Take Advantage of Future Cash Flows at Bargain Prices Now: Desert Gold, Barrick, and Newmont!
In recent weeks, the gold price has corrected by over USD 1,000. Is this cause for concern? In a nutshell: no. Corrections following strong rallies are normal. Currently, the scenario of persistently high oil and energy prices is acting as a particular drag, and inflation and interest rates could rise significantly. However, historically high gold prices ensure strong profits for mining operators, as industry leaders Barrick and Newmont have demonstrated in recent quarters. Canadian-based Desert Gold currently appears particularly promising. Gold production is set to begin this summer. Analysts are extremely bullish and see potential for the stock price to multiply.

Data Ecosystems of the Future: Aspermont, a Newcomer, Follows in the Footsteps of S&P Global and Wolters Kluwer
Specialized professional information is the most profitable business model in the knowledge economy. In a world shaped by technological disruption and geopolitical tensions, simply providing information is no longer enough. The trend is toward decision-making architectures in which proprietary content is monetized through artificial intelligence (AI) and converted into recurring subscription revenue (XaaS). In other words, valuable information at the touch of a button that makes current decisions easier. Studies by the consulting firm McKinsey confirm that data has long since become a kind of asset class for companies. Corporations such as S&P Global Market Intelligence and Wolters Kluwer have already successfully pursued this path and are traded as established blue-chips with correspondingly high valuation metrics. The small-cap company Aspermont is following this exact formula for success, though it is still in an early phase by comparison. As the ongoing commodities boom fuels numerous new project activity and Aspermont attracts fresh capital following its reverse stock split, the company is increasingly coming into focus.

The war opens up opportunities in commodity stocks: Barrick Mining, Antimony Resources, and Freeport McMoRan in focus
The war in the Persian Gulf has drastically shaken up the metals market. Until the end of January, gold, silver, copper, rare earths, and others were still the top performers in many portfolios. The debasement trade, the weak dollar, and geopolitical uncertainty drove prices higher. On top of that, there were significant supply shortages for silver and copper, as well as China's dominance in the extraction and processing of critical metals like antimony and rare earths. The current pullbacks in many stocks now offer opportunities for investors to enter the market.

Sell-off at Barrick Mining, Lahontan Gold, and Newmont: Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Buy More
The Fed's recent decision, with its hawkish tone, has shaken the gold market and triggered a sharp correction. What looks like a sell-off, however, turns out to be a classic entry point for strategic investors. The structural drivers - geopolitical uncertainty, chronic over-indebtedness, and the ongoing crisis of confidence in monetary policy - remain firmly in place. This is precisely where a promising opportunity is now emerging. We take a closer look at three gold companies that are now coming into focus: Barrick Mining, Lahontan Gold, and Newmont.

Over 150% Upside Potential: Commodity Gem Power Metallic Mines Poised for Revaluation
The next Buy rating is here. Analysts at GBC Research published their inaugural report on Power Metallic Mines last week. Given the significant potential of the multi-metal project in Canada, they recommend the stock as a "Buy" and even see the possibility of a full revaluation. The price target is set at CAD 2.85, or EUR 1.81, implying a current upside potential of more than 150%. Recent drill results also indicate that Power Metallic Mines may currently be undervalued. The company hosts a world-class multi-metal deposit containing copper, platinum, palladium, cobalt, gold, and silver. The first resource estimate is expected soon, marking a key milestone for investors.

Use Gold's Pullback: Desert Gold Is Poised for a Revaluation - What Comes Next
The past trading week brought a sharp correction in the gold market. The price briefly fell below the USD 4,500 mark and recorded its steepest weekly loss in months. But for savvy investors, this could be exactly the right opportunity to buy. While prices remain under short-term pressure, the long-term drivers remain intact. Top investment firms like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are reaffirming their optimistic forecasts. In Mali, Desert Gold has a clear goal in sight. It is no longer about drilling dreams, but about a concrete construction site. With fresh capital of over CAD 7 million and a defined timeline, the transition from explorer to producer is imminent. This is the final piece of the puzzle needed to re-evaluate the company.

Gold Pullback Creates Opportunity: Pan American Silver, Kobo Resources, and Agnico Eagle in Focus
Gold prices have recently pulled back below the USD 5,000 mark amid escalating tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran. Despite this correction, the precious metal remains at elevated levels and well above producers' costs, supporting strong margins. At the same time, ongoing concerns about currency debasement and declining confidence in fiat currencies are likely to persist in the coming years. Against this backdrop, the recent pullback offers opportunities for investors to bet on gold stocks, many of which are currently trading below the record highs of recent weeks.
