Anglo American, Globex Mining, Lundin Mining: Commodity Giants Poised for the Next Surge
Despite the current market correction, copper, gold, and strategic metals are increasingly taking center stage in the global economy. Power grids, AI data centers, electric mobility, and defence are consuming enormous amounts of raw materials, while new mines are being developed only slowly. It is not just established producers that are benefiting from this. Broadly diversified companies are particularly attractive, as they can earn revenue from investments and royalties in numerous projects without having to finance every mine themselves.

Gold Sector Remains Optimistic: How Kinross Gold and Orla Mining Are Securing the Future—and Lahontan Gold's Hidden Ace
"Gold. Power. Greed." That was the title of a recent documentary aired by German broadcaster ZDF, exploring the enduring appeal of the precious metal. Investors seeking returns from precious metals often turn their attention first to giants such as Barrick Mining and other major producers. Yet while new discoveries may have only a limited impact on the share prices of established mining companies, positive exploration results can drive a very different level of momentum among smaller players. Agile exploration companies that can supply the processing plants of major producers—thanks to fresh capital, prime locations, and manageable costs—promise dynamic upside potential, as recently highlighted in the ZDF documentary. We introduce three exciting companies and highlight where investors can expect strong momentum.

Top News: Sell Nordex? First Majestic Silver Under Pressure, Desert Gold Poised for Re-Rating!
Gold appears to be establishing a long-term floor at USD 4,000 per ounce. If this level proves sustainable, it could mark a major turning point for the industry, as gold producers would generate exceptionally strong margins at these prices. Desert Gold is preparing to begin production in the near future. Desert Gold is preparing to begin production in the near future. According to analysts, the company would already be highly profitable at a gold price of USD 2,850, leaving considerable upside at current levels. As a result, they believe the stock offers significant re-rating potential. Nordex has already enjoyed a remarkable share price run over the past several years, making the market's muted reaction to its strong quarterly results less surprising. One analyst has even downgraded the stock to "Sell." The post-earnings sell-off in First Majestic Silver was more unexpected. Despite reporting strong quarterly results, the shares came under pressure—even as silver prices also appear to be establishing a solid base.

China Is Buying Gold—Even More Than Expected? Barrick Mining, Newmont, and Lahontan Gold Stand to Benefit
While the price of gold holds steady above the USD 4,000 mark, China is buying heavily. According to the Chinese central bank, China purchased 15 metric tons of gold in June alone. This is the highest volume since October 2023. Furthermore, the market has long suspected that China's actual gold purchases are significantly higher than the officially reported amounts. This could mean gold is on the verge of a new rally. For investors looking to profit from a long-term rise in the price of gold, Barrick Mining and Newmont are considered core investments in the gold sector. They offer relatively direct exposure to the price of gold. Rising selling prices can have a disproportionately large impact on cash flow and profits when production costs remain stable. At the same time, operational risks, cost increases, and political uncertainties persist in individual mining countries. Exploration companies are a good option for adding to a portfolio to gain additional exposure to the price of gold.

A Chip Crash Was Inevitable, a Gold Revival Is on the Horizon! AMD, Infineon, and SanDisk Are in a Sell-Off; Lahontan Gold Is on the Rise
What a bombshell in the tech sector! The abrupt plunge in semiconductor stocks has unexpectedly shaken up the industry and forced the NASDAQ into a correction. After a rally lasting several months, valuations were starting to look ambitious, while signs of an economic slowdown were emerging. A reassessment of fundamentals appears to be underway, as in an environment of persistent inflation and high volatility, investors' desire for stability and preservation of value is once again coming to the forefront. Gold has historically served this role many times as a classic "safe haven", safeguarding real purchasing power through crises. The tactical strategy is to realize some or all of the gains from overheated, cyclical technology and semiconductor stocks and reallocate them to precious metals and related instruments. While chip and memory stocks react strongly to market sentiment, an exposure to the gold sector provides a stable anchor with long-term opportunities. Now is a good time to act!

Do Not Miss Gold's Next Rally: Why Newmont, Desert Gold and Agnico Eagle Deserve a Closer Look
Investors are watching the yellow precious metal closely; its price has recently come under pressure but has stabilized above USD 4,000. The fundamental conditions for further price increases remain intact. Central banks continue to prefer buying gold over the US dollar; geopolitical turmoil is driving demand for safe-haven assets; and the prospect of falling key interest rates is traditionally good for gold prices. At the same time, robust physical demand coupled with stagnant production is leading to a supply shortage. This environment is fostering positive sentiment, particularly among producers. A look at the current situation at Newmont, Desert Gold, and Agnico Eagle reveals which companies could benefit most from this tailwind.

Almonty Industries, Boliden, Teck Resources: The Pullback Presents a Major Opportunity
Commodity stocks have lost significant ground following the recent market correction—even though the fundamental outlook for many companies has continued to improve. Rising demand for tungsten, copper, and other strategic metals, driven by AI, defense, the energy transition, and digitalization, is meeting with tight supply. For long-term investors, this pullback could therefore present an attractive entry opportunity. Companies with advanced projects, strong balance sheets, and rising production are now back in the spotlight.

The Energy Sector Boom Is Boosting Critical Metals: Siemens Energy, Nel ASA, Globex Mining, and Nordex in the Spotlight
The world is changing rapidly! The escalating crisis in the Middle East highlights the acute vulnerability of global commodity supply chains and is forcing Western industrialized nations to undergo a radical geopolitical realignment. To free themselves from dependence on unstable regions and autocratic monopolies, the US and Canada are investing heavily in the accelerated development of self-sufficient North American supply chains for critical minerals and precious metals. This development is receiving an additional regulatory boost from the protectionist economic policies of a second Trump administration—under the slogan "Drill, Baby, Drill"—and is creating a boom for resource-rich areas of North America, such as the Abitibi Belt in Québec. In this highly volatile market environment, Globex Mining, a licensing specialist that consistently operates behind the scenes, is emerging as one of the biggest beneficiaries of recent times. While partner companies finance the capital-intensive drilling operations, the company risk-free acquires valuable smelting licenses and positions itself perfectly for the energy transition that will shape the future. For investors, the North American renaissance in resource extraction offers multiple opportunities. In contrast, after an extended rally, established energy companies appear to be taking a breather. A critical look is warranted.

Gold and Silver Poised for a Comeback? Lahontan Gold, Newmont and First Majestic Emerge as Top Picks
Gold has served as one of humanity's oldest stores of value for centuries. Today, rising government debt, geopolitical tensions and sustained central bank buying continue to shape the precious metals market. Thanks to high precious metal prices, profits are soaring for producers like Newmont and First Majestic. Investors looking to identify the winners of the coming years should keep an eye not only on the major players but also on companies that are on the verge of production. After all, it is precisely during this transition phase that significant opportunities often arise. Lahontan Gold currently finds itself precisely at this juncture. The Canadian company is on the verge of reaching several key milestones on its path to first gold production next year. The key question is whether the gap between the value of its flagship project and the company's market valuation will begin to close as early as this summer.

Buy Recommendations for Almonty, Micron, and TKMS! Defense, Commodities, and Semiconductors with Upside Potential!
Compelling buying opportunities are emerging across several sectors. In commodities, Almonty Industries stands out as it ramps up production at its tungsten mine in South Korea, with revenue and earnings expected to accelerate sharply in the second half of the year. Analysts forecast a net profit of CAD 854.6 million next year, implying a forward P/E ratio of just 4.34—a valuation many consider too low for the only significant Western tungsten supplier. Analysts recommend buying. TKMS appears well positioned among the struggling defense companies. Analysts highlight its substantial order backlog, which is expected to provide strong earnings visibility well into the 2040s. Micron remains a higher-risk opportunity. Following its historic share price rally, investors are concerned about potential overcapacity. Micron is also investing billions, but analysts remain reassuring.
