Why the Tungsten Shortage Threatens SpaceX and Siemens Healthineers—and How Almonty Is Becoming the West's Top Supplier
When technical necessity meets scarcity, it is not just engineers who take notice—the capital markets, too, have long been grappling with supply chains and their vulnerability to crises. This is particularly evident in the case of tungsten. This heavy metal is equally essential for modern space travel and innovative medical technology. Because Beijing is tightening the reins on tungsten exports, a metal also considered military-grade, the high-tech industry, from SpaceX to Siemens Healthineers, is feeling the heat. The search for crisis-resistant sources of raw materials is becoming a matter of survival for these corporations. Almonty, the leading Western tungsten producer, is perfectly positioned to benefit from this situation.

China's Tungsten Grip Begins to Loosen—Almonty Industries Strengthens Defence Supply Chains as RENK and Boeing Secure Multi-Billion-Dollar Orders
The wars in Ukraine and Iran have exposed a critical weakness in the West's technology and defence architecture. Without fire-resistant tungsten, even the most advanced fighter jets remain grounded, and the most precise guided missiles are rendered useless. While combat operations are depleting stockpiles, China has effectively secured a monopoly over the entire supply chain, from the mine to high-performance components. This double squeeze, driven by war-induced demand and Beijing's control over supply, is transforming this critical material into a strategic instrument of power. On the other hand, these tensions are fueling a boom in the defence industry. Meanwhile, these geopolitical tensions are fueling a boom across the defence industry. We take a closer look at the current outlook for Almonty Industries, RENK Group, and Boeing.

Gold, Tungsten, and Silver: Upside Potential in First Majestic Silver, Almonty Industries, and Agnico Eagle
The war in the Gulf and the strong US dollar continue to cause volatility in the commodities market. While copper has managed to decouple from these trends due to tight supply in global markets, the situation is different for gold and silver prices. However, stabilization may now be on the horizon. The specialty metal tungsten, on the other hand, tracks copper and is showing stability at high price levels. This presents opportunities for investors to build long-term positions in the market. We are therefore looking at the stocks of First Majestic Silver, Almonty Industries, and Agnico Eagle.

Defence or Artificial Intelligence? On the Hunt for Blockbusters with Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, Strategic Resources, and TKMS
The market is becoming increasingly concentrated. Despite fresh record highs in July, the number of true winners can almost be counted on one hand. The strongest performers continue to be a select group of high-tech and AI stocks, while semiconductor shares are already beginning to lose momentum. Meanwhile, oil and gas stocks are picking up speed again, while the long upswing in the defence sector that began in 2022 appears to be running out of steam. As a result, many defence companies ranked among the worst-performing stocks during the first half of the year. Now the summer slowdown has arrived, and even a potential interest cut by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is unlikely to lift sentiment. The reason is straightforward: inflation remains stubbornly high, hovering around the 4% mark in the US for an unusually long time. President Donald Trump had hoped that replacing Jerome Powell would pave the way for lower interest rates, but those expectations now appear increasingly unrealistic. Then there is the tariff setback, which is costing US taxpayers another USD 100 billion. In short, the warning signs of a broader market correction are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. For active investors, the only real question is when, not if. Against this backdrop, we take a closer look at the battered defence sector in search of the next potential blockbuster investment.

Antimony as the "Invisible Glue" of Industry and Defence: Antimony Resources, BASF, and Lockheed Martin
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
A relatively unknown semimetal that for decades remained in the shadow of the commodity giants has suddenly emerged as the strategic nerve center of Western industry. Antimony is essential for flame retardants in electronics, heat-resistant cables in fighter jets, and modern battery systems; without this material, key technologies cannot be produced. When China effectively halted exports in December 2024, this catapulted the price of antimony skyward in a very short time and exposed a critical dependency. As the West searches for alternative supply chains, established corporations are coming under pressure. That is why today we are taking a closer look at the up-and-coming antimony producer Antimony Resources, the industrial conglomerate BASF, and the defense contractor Lockheed Martin.

AI, Oncology, and Defense: TeamViewer, BioNTech, and Antimony Resources—A Great Mix for Your Portfolio!
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The stock market is a place of extremes, and today we are looking at a trio—TeamViewer, BioNTech, and Antimony Resources—that comes from three different sectors. There is a German software pioneer that, after painful setbacks, is suddenly showing clear signs of life again. There is a once-celebrated vaccine hero pumping billions into a risky but revolutionary future in cancer therapy—while still holding a substantial cash reserve. And then there is a Canadian mineral explorer digging deep into the earth for a material without which our modern world would simply grind to a halt—one that is also crucial for the defense industry. It is precisely this mix of a software-AI turnaround, a biotech-oncology transformation, and mineral potential that makes the market so incredibly exciting. Join us on a journey through three fascinating corporate stories.

The Unexpected Lithium Rally 2.0: Mercedes, Porsche AG, Rock Tech Lithium, and BASF in Focus
It has finally happened! The looming global power shortage is unexpectedly becoming a massive catalyst for a new boom in the commodities market, once again propelling lithium stocks into the spotlight. The renowned Fraunhofer Institute has reached the clear conclusion that European demand for high-purity lithium hydroxide will increase sixfold by 2030. Analysts explicitly emphasize that only companies with closed, regional supply chains will be able to successfully circumvent the looming production bottlenecks caused by power and raw material shortages. This is because Western industrialized nations aim to drastically reduce their dependence on Asia and rely on their own raw material reserves. For investors, this fundamental transformation builds a highly attractive bridge to the next generation of beneficiaries. While automotive groups such as Mercedes and Porsche are now radically securing their supply chains through partnerships, Rock Tech is poised to move into supplier status in the near future. The chemical company BASF, an indispensable partner for cathode materials, is also part of the picture. Savvy investors are using the current consolidation phase to position themselves early among the winners of this megatrend.

Why the Base Load Bottleneck Threatens SpaceX and Amazon—and How Standard Uranium Stands to Benefit
When you pick up your smartphone from your nightstand in the morning, you rarely give a thought to the massive infrastructure behind the scenes. But the brave new digital world of global data streams and machine-learning algorithms has an energy-hungry, and sometimes dirty, secret. Artificial intelligence consumes so much electricity that power grids are collapsing one after another. When computing power needs to keep pace with AI innovations, solar farms are no longer enough. Base load power is needed—and nuclear power provides it. So high-tech needs uranium, and that is exactly what brings the tech elite together with resource companies. We explain the connections and highlight the opportunities.
