Stock market correction? Gold target raised to USD 4,500 – Barrick, Sranan Gold, Rheinmetall, and Strategy
The time seems ripe for new positions. While the major indices DAX-40 and NASDAQ recently reached new highs, gold, silver, and Bitcoin are about to open entirely new chapters. At over USD 38.50, silver recently hit a 14-year high, and chart analysis now indicates a breakout. Bitcoin, often referred to as digital gold, also hit new highs with prices above USD 118,000. Arguments such as war, debt and inflation are causing investors to flee to safe havens. In the equity sector, defense and high-tech stocks with AI exposure are among this year's best performers. Investors should slowly start to slow down here, as the risk of a correction is increasing. Those investing in gold should consider adding stocks like Barrick Mining and First Majestic Silver to their portfolio, but Sranan Gold is an absolute buy. We are becoming increasingly skeptical about Rheinmetall, as the momentum has run out! We can help you restructure your portfolio.

Breaking news: Volatus Aerospace secures $10 million in financing – analysis and background

Almonty Industries goes NASDAQ: In the fast lane with one of the world's most critical metals
Almonty Industries (TSX: AII; WKN: A414Q8; ISIN: CA0203987072; EUR 4.72) is in the final stages of its debut on the NASDAQ. To this end, the number of shares has been visually reduced so that the share price complies with the stricter regulations of the well-known American technology stock exchange. This marks the beginning of a new era for the raw materials company. In an environment of daily political upheaval, a wealth of business opportunities will open up in the coming months. CEO Lewis Black will continue the success of recent years with an increased stock market presence and will also welcome the new US shareholders to the ownership circle. The highlight: US companies are often valued at a multiple of other stock markets, especially in the armaments and defense sector. The excitement is mounting!

1,000 tanks for NATO - another 150% with armaments and gold? Rheinmetall, Dryden Gold, Hensoldt, and RENK in focus
The news hit like a bombshell. NATO plans to deploy up to 1,000 modern main battle tanks along its eastern flank. Amid growing tensions with Russia and against the backdrop of the ongoing war in Ukraine, the defense alliance is sending a clear signal of deterrence. The plan is part of a comprehensive rearmament program to strengthen what is called "Forward Defense." Germany, Poland, and other Eastern European member states, in particular, are set to serve as logistical and operational hubs. It is not just about tanks; ammunition, spare parts, and maintenance infrastructure are also to be built up on a large scale. In addition, the defense sector will see investments of over EUR 1 trillion over the next decade. Reason enough for the next price explosion at Rheinmetall and Co. Security is also likely to be the reason for the impressive gold rally since the beginning of the year. Where will it end?

Almonty Industries: The NASDAQ countdown is on! Everyone wants a piece of the Tungsten Gem!
The countdown to Almonty's IPO on the NASDAQ is underway. The reverse split took place on Friday, and further details were released yesterday. A capital increase of around 10% is being supported by renowned banks. The fresh capital is intended to be used to extend the value chain. This move should enable Almonty to consolidate its position as the most important tungsten supplier in the West. The share price is responding with a spectacular rise. In addition, Europe appears to be slowly awakening to the issue of critical raw materials. Almonty stands to benefit from this as well. The outlook for this tungsten gem remains bright. The share price performance is more than just FOMO; it is based on geopolitical and operational fundamentals.

Attention: Critical Metals as Future Boosters! thyssenkrupp, Power Metallic, Hensoldt, and Nordex
The start of the second half of the year is bringing new record highs, but volatility remains high. The stock markets are currently in turmoil, with prices changing direction almost daily. This is driven by new headlines about trade tariffs, geopolitical power games, and the question of global security. While the world is currently focused on armed conflicts, a key issue is increasingly coming to the fore for stock market traders: critical metals. These raw materials, ranging from rare earths and copper to gallium and titanium, are the backbone of modern technologies, green transformation, and military strength. In the defense industry, shortages of critical metals could now become a strategic risk, a fact that many still underestimate. Western industrialized nations are therefore increasing efforts to secure raw material sources and reduce their dependence on geopolitically fragile suppliers. Where are the new high-yield champions for your portfolio?

Gold and defense stocks on trend – Alamos Gold, AJN Resources, Lockheed Martin
Increasing geopolitical conflicts and escalating wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, coupled with global trade policies that are increasingly lacking a clear strategy - we are currently living in the most uncertain times in decades. Even though stock indices around the world are still moving from one all-time high to the next, caution is advised. The beneficiaries, on the other hand, are clear. In addition to a booming defense industry fueled by the current era of rearmament, gold is once again asserting its role as a safe haven.
