Rethinking country risk! BHP Group, Commerzbank, AJN Resources
Commodities are in demand like never before! Gold is trading above the USD 3,000 mark, and the World Bank forecasts that cobalt consumption will rise to 344,000 tons by 2030 - equivalent to annual growth of around 9.6%. Over 70% of cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo – a country that is repeatedly viewed critically in Western media. But what are the real disadvantages of this location? Which mining jurisdictions are safe? Where are the returns?

High-grade discovery at Tocvan Ventures – Gold corridor within reach at Gran Pilar
Volatility on the capital markets reached record levels in the first quarter of 2025. Geopolitical upheavals and unpredictable US policy have caused stock prices to fluctuate wildly. Precious metal investments could provide a good hedge against turbulence in the financial system and a devaluation of the US dollar. With spot prices recently reaching new record highs, investors are increasingly strengthening their exposure to the commodities sector. Gold has so far met expectations with prices of up to USD 3,500 and an annual gain of just under 20% in 2025, while silver has also reached high prices of over USD 35. In addition to producers, the spotlight is now shifting to the second tier of explorers. This is because the valuations of in-ground resources are at their lowest level in decades. Canadian gold explorer Tocvan Ventures (CSE: TOC | WKN: A2PE64 | ISIN: CA88900N1050 | CAD 0.69) has recently seen a string of positive announcements. The latest update on recent drilling at the Pilar gold-silver project in Sonora delivered impressive gold and silver grades.

While Friedrich Merz fails, BUYING OPPORTUNITIES arise for these stocks: Deutz, BYD, and Power Metallic Mines
Friedrich Merz has failed in the first round of voting to become Chancellor. But these stocks are winners: without metals, there would be no electromobility, no defense, no infrastructure - and when it comes to gold, no store of value. Power Metallic Metals caused a stir last year with spectacular drilling results. The latest samples show that the potential is far from exhausted. The current consolidation of the stock should soon be over. Deutz has already demonstrated how quickly a stock can explode. Analysts believe there is even more upside potential! And what is BYD doing? The Chinese company is growing strongly in their home market. In Europe, a bestseller is now set to bring success. Is this a threat to Volkswagen?

The new gold rush: Barrick Gold, Globex Mining, and Rio Tinto are forging the supply chains of tomorrow
Global markets are trembling: trade wars are tearing supply chains apart, raw materials are becoming weapons, and gold is shining as the savior in times of crisis. With a record high of over USD 3,500 per ounce, the precious metal is taking centre stage - driven by inflation, geopolitical shock waves, and greedy central banks. Yet, in the background, a new power dynamic is taking shape: companies that are not only developing deposits but also forging the future of resource security. This is where it will be decided who pulls the strings in the chaos of trade blockades – and who becomes a pawn. Three players are suddenly in the spotlight: Barrick Gold, Globex Mining, and Rio Tinto.

100% price opportunity or short attack? Deutz, Bayer, Power Metallic Mines
Tension is rising at Deutz! While analysts are significantly raising their target price, short sellers are getting into position. Is it worth getting back in now? After all, the share price has corrected significantly. An interesting entry opportunity currently seems to be emerging at Power Metallic Mines. Under the name Power Nickel, the Company made headlines in 2024. Drilling uncovered not only massive nickel deposits but much more - and this is said to be just the beginning. The current price decline is an opportunity. In contrast, Bayer is simply unable to escape the negative headlines. The legal disputes will likely last at least until 2026. Nevertheless, analysts recommend buying the stock.

New gold rocket ahead of takeover? Tocvan Ventures stock on the heels of Barrick Gold & Co.
While Donald Trump escalates the tariff war, gold continues to shine with ever-higher prices. Even Friday's correction is unlikely to change that. An ounce of gold is trading solidly above USD 3,000 – and rising. This puts gold explorers back in the spotlight for investors. A lesser-known player could become a real gold rocket in 2025: Tocvan Ventures. Its project in Mexico is at an advanced stage and is to be developed into a world-class operation. High-grade deposits have recently been reported again, which could significantly increase the gold resource. In addition, a pilot mine is to be launched in 2025, which could make the Company a takeover candidate. The stock has jumped and still has plenty of room to run higher, especially compared to peers. Currently, this represents an exciting buying opportunity.

Volkswagen, European Lithium, BYD – Lithium as a winner in the crisis: Why analysts are predicting a rally despite the chaos
The global energy transition is catapulting lithium into the spotlight. As an indispensable raw material for batteries, the electrification of mobility and energy infrastructure has fueled demand enormously. But after the hype, prices plunged from record highs to below USD 10,000. Now, there are increasing signs of a trend reversal: Production cutbacks, a predicted demand explosion of around 20% this year, strategic investments by large corporations, and technological leaps in extraction could curb the oversupply. Is lithium on the verge of returning as the scarce "white gold"? The stage seems to be set for a revaluation of the market.

Barrick Gold, Golden Cariboo Resources, Deutz – Seeking a safe haven? Gold shines, Weapons boom!
In turbulent times, investors flee to safe havens – but in addition to gold, defense stocks are now taking center stage. The price of gold is climbing to record levels in the face of geopolitical crises, trade conflicts, and a weakening US dollar, supported by demand from emerging markets such as China and India. At the same time, defense companies are booming: military spending is rising globally, NATO commitments are fueling the market, and complex supply chains are exacerbating scarcity. Companies like Rheinmetall are shining with record share prices and competing with gold as a crisis investment. A new era of hedging is dawning, in which both precious metals and weapons technology are becoming symbols of risk-averse capital.

Gold price above USD 3,000! Stocks on the verge of a breakout! Barrick Gold, TUI, Benton Resources!
Gold investors are cashing in! The gold price seems to be holding above the magic mark of USD 3,000. Now is the hour of gold producers and explorers! Even the Barrick Gold share is on the verge of a breakout. Management has made bullish statements about the future in the context of the annual figures. With its copper-gold project, Benton Resources is a "small" Barrick. The ongoing drilling program ensures continuous news flow. With its location in legally secure Canada, Benton is becoming more and more of a takeover candidate with each increase in resources, perhaps by Barrick? TUI shares could also be on the verge of a breakout. Due to the market sell-off, an important message seems to have been completely lost in the past few weeks. Buy now?
