Gold or Defense – Where to take action now? Rheinmetall, RENK, and Leonardo require caution, AJN Resources on the launchpad!
Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine shows no signs of ending. Despite all political efforts on both sides of the Atlantic, the Russian commander is continuing his bombardment of his neighboring country. NATO sees many reasons in the aggressor's behavior to significantly increase its military capabilities. This is causing further investor money to flow into defense stocks, but valuations are now very ambitious. However, in their search for security, investors are also increasingly buying gold, which could rise to as high as USD 3,490 per ounce in 2025. Low production costs are bringing low-cost projects in Africa into focus. AJN Resources has just refinanced and is repositioning itself in Ethiopia. How can investors diversify wisely?

Almonty Industries: The new Pillar of Western Raw Material Security
The Western world is facing a raw material crisis with explosive geopolitical implications. In recent months, China has drastically tightened its export controls on critical minerals, affecting primarily strategically important metals such as gallium, germanium, antimony, and, most recently, tungsten. These raw materials are indispensable for the defense industry, semiconductor production, and high-tech manufacturing. Amid this tense situation, one company that is positioning itself as an important part of the solution is stepping into the spotlight: Almonty Industries (TSX: AII). The tungsten specialist operates strategically located tungsten projects in South Korea, Portugal, and Spain and will soon play a key role in supplying Western industries, as global tungsten supplies are expected to run critically low in the near future.

Urgent: NATO approves largest rearmament program since the Cold War - Almonty, Hensoldt, Rheinmetall
The news is a bombshell: In light of an acute threat from Russia, NATO is opening the money floodgates. The most extensive rearmament since 1990 not only provides for a massive increase in conventional military capabilities, but also reveals the dependence of modern armed forces on critical raw materials – especially tungsten. The decision was made during a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels and has far-reaching consequences. For investors, but also for all of us.

With gold over USD 3,400 - 100% gains in no time: Gerresheimer, Desert Gold, Hensoldt, and RENK
Rumors about Jerome Powell's resignation were circulating at the beginning of the week. Described as very "hawkish," meaning he strictly aligns interest rates with inflation, he is an uncomfortable contemporary for President Donald Trump. The US administration needs a lot of money to get the outdated infrastructure and the entire economy back on track. Numerous campaign promises for a flourishing America can only be fulfilled by the flamboyant frontman if sufficient funds are available. This is a difficult undertaking due to the very high level of government debt. The credit rating agency Moody's is not intimidated by the president's threats and recently downgraded the US credit rating by one notch to AA1. Triple-A status is now history. This is a perfect setup for gold, with the precious metal rising again to over USD 3,400. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Alarm bells ringing for rare earths and record highs for hydrogen! Hensoldt, Plug Power, Mercedes, and BMW partner European Lithium
Rare earths are increasingly being used as a weapon in geopolitics. "The last remaining stocks will likely be used up within four to six weeks. Then parts of production will have to be shut down," warns Christian Grimmelt of the consulting firm Berylls by AlixPartners in Wirtschaftswoche. This could benefit European Lithium's stock. The Company not only aims to supply lithium to BMW but is also developing a rare earths project in Greenland. Is the defense industry also affected by the shortage of raw materials? Perhaps. For now, the FOMO rally is driving defense stocks to new all-time highs. But caution is advised: according to analysts, Hensoldt shares, for example, have a 30% downside risk. Plug Power, on the other hand, has had to cope with many setbacks in recent months. Its shares are at rock bottom. Could a milestone in its home market bring about a turnaround?

Madness: New tariffs - no, yes, or maybe not? Trump moves thyssenkrupp, Power Metallic, RENK, and Plug Power
The stock markets have rarely seen such volatility. At this point, there are multiple shifts in direction on every trading day, triggered by the latest headlines from the White House. Last week was almost entirely about tariffs, with Putin's war and Trump's peace promises already forgotten. The world continues to live in uncertainty due to the prevailing war scenario, with no stone left unturned. This environment makes it clear: secure supply routes for raw materials will be essential in the coming period. In the defense industry in particular, metal shortages could become a showstopper. Investors can benefit from the current trends through careful selection as Western industrialized nations are stepping on the gas. Where are the big return generators hiding?

Rheinmetall, Volatus Aerospace, C3.ai – Upgrades and explosive results
The quarterly reporting season is drawing to a close, with chip giant Nvidia being the last of the Magnificent 7 stocks to present its figures. Analysts' ambitious targets were once again smashed, but uncertainties surrounding the trade war between China and the US are dampening the outlook for the industry leader. In contrast, uncertainty about the geopolitical situation continues to boost business for defense companies, which are receiving ever-higher price targets from analysts.
