Gold above USD 4,000, Bitcoin and NASDAQ reeling! Formation Metals on the rise, panic at Metaplanet and DroneShield
A few weeks ago, the US government declared a state of emergency over critical metals. This triggered a massive run on all stocks related to strategic metals such as rare earths, uranium, and lithium. The announcement also proved decisive for the gold and silver markets, which have been setting new all-time highs since October before recently entering a consolidation phase. At the start of the week, buying interest in gold and silver returned, while former tech high-flyers like Metaplanet and DroneShield suffered heavy losses. For investors, the current panic across parts of the tech sector could present an opportunity. Commodity markets have been dormant for years and are now being flooded with unprecedented amounts of capital. Where should investors position themselves now?

New developments in drones – Is a growth spurt on the horizon? NEO Battery Materials, LG Chem, Albemarle
The war in Ukraine has triggered a boom in micro drones – and with it, a surge in demand for specialized battery technology. Ukrainian forces are increasingly relying on swarms of low-cost mini drones to counter larger unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs), such as Iranian Shahed drones. Several trends are emerging here for investors: demand for high-performance small drone batteries is soaring, while stable supply chains free of geopolitical risks are becoming more critical than ever. This is precisely where the up-and-coming company NEO Battery Materials comes into play.

ALL-TIME HIGH for Siemens Energy! After strong results, should investors be buying RENK and Graphano Energy shares?
These companies have impressed with strong figures: Graphano Energy could play a key role in helping the West achieve greater independence in the battery value chain. The Company is currently developing a graphite deposit in a highly attractive region of Canada, and the drill results to date are very encouraging. In addition, the Company benefits from the fact that North America has recognized the urgency of securing critical minerals and is actively supporting the industry. Record figures have recently sent Siemens Energy shares to an all-time high. Analysts are enthusiastic, with just one exception. RENK continues to stand out positively from Rheinmetall and Hensoldt. What do analysts make of the latest figures? Is this a buying opportunity during the correction?

Takeover fever! LAURION Mineral Exploration, Evotec, and Mutares are tempting investors to get on board!
M&A – mergers and acquisitions - remain powerful performance drivers for shareholders of potential takeover targets. But companies that acquire others also benefit from increased growth, access to new markets and technologies, and cost synergies. According to a recent study by Bain & Company, the majority of M&A activity in the current year, amounting to around USD 265 billion, has taken place in the energy and commodities sectors. In healthcare and life sciences, deals with a volume of USD 107 billion were recorded. So who could the next takeover candidates be?

Defense stocks catching their second wind: Almonty, Boeing, Rheinmetall
The question of European security has fallen somewhat out of focus on the stock market - shares in companies such as Rheinmetall and Almonty have fallen from their highs. But just because other topics are currently dominating the media, that does not mean that defense-related stocks do not have a promising future ahead of them. We take a look at three companies in the sector and explain what kind of potential investors can expect today.

How European Lithium, Hensoldt, and Volkswagen are overcoming the supply chain crisis and creating potential in their portfolios
The global tech and defense industries are under pressure. Dependence on critical raw materials from limited sources is becoming a strategic nightmare. Recent trade restrictions are driving up prices, jeopardizing supply chains, and forcing Europe to rethink its strategy quickly. At the same time, studies warn of an impending lithium shortage that could bring the electric vehicle boom to an abrupt end. The race for secure supply and technological sovereignty is in full swing – and at the same time offers historic opportunities. We therefore take a look at three companies that are directly active in these turbulent markets: European Lithium, Hensoldt, and Volkswagen.

The new cold war over strategic metals! The buying frenzy continues at Almonty, Rheinmetall, TKMS, and RENK
Investors today need a long-term perspective if they want to step outside the trading herd. For the past five years, machines have largely been calling the shots. They detect patterns across investor behavior and can anticipate mass movements even while you are still busy entering your order. This is because data aggregation takes place in nanoseconds. If, for example, a few more sell orders than usual enter the market, the machine immediately sends the Xetra price down, and vice versa. Those who invest over months and years do not need to worry about these practices, but anyone focused on short-term movements requires solid technical equipment and nerves of steel. Our peer group stocks Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, TKMS, and RENK are currently seeing plenty of action. We provide a few extras so you can make the right move!

Crash at DroneShield! Almonty Industries ensures raw material security, and RENK Group reports quarterly figures
In uncertain times, Europe is rearming. But billion-dollar defense budgets alone are not a panacea. Two things really matter. Can we develop modern weapons fast enough? And can we obtain the necessary raw materials without making ourselves vulnerable to blackmail? While EU countries continue to argue about who develops what, the supply chains of all Western nations are hanging by a thread. Against this backdrop, three specialized technology leaders are coming into focus: DroneShield, Almonty Industries, and RENK Group.

CHAOS at DroneShield! OUT of Hensoldt? New price target for Almonty?
Will Almonty shares soon reach a new all-time high? Analysts recently issued "Buy" recommendations on the tungsten gem, citing potential gains of around 20%. Turnover is expected to exceed CAD 600 million in just a few years, and the latest acquisition should accelerate this growth. Analysts are therefore likely to revise their forecasts upward soon. Hensoldt, on the other hand, disappointed investors. The forecast for the coming years is sobering and is also dragging down the shares of other defense stocks. The super cycle is still a long way off. And DroneShield? Management turmoil is causing chaos, with the share price plunging more than 50%.

GOLD RUSH at Barrick Mining and AJN Resources! Concerns at Rheinmetall?
With the price of gold soaring above USD 4,000 per ounce, the rally in the precious metals sector is gaining fresh momentum. This time, exploration companies should benefit more strongly, with AJN Resources emerging as an exciting candidate. New gold zones have recently been identified, and a new drilling program is set to begin soon. Will the stock take off? Barrick Mining's strong quarterly results are also contributing to the positive mood in the gold sector. Shareholders stand to benefit more from the Company's high cash flows. And what is Rheinmetall doing? Germany's largest defense contractor has released its latest quarterly figures. Shareholders are not cheering. Is there reason for concern?
