Almonty Drives the Tungsten Market: Between Shortages, Price Surges, and Revaluation
Major stock indices are currently experiencing heightened volatility. Following the strong rally of the past 24 months, both the S&P 500 and the DAX 40 have recently corrected by between 5% and 10%. Rising interest rates and little prospect of peace in one of the many global hotspots are weighing particularly heavily on the market. Commodities paint a different picture: industrial metals and critical materials remain in demand, led by tungsten, whose price has increased roughly tenfold over the past 24 months. Producer Almonty Industries is benefiting particularly from this; with the start of production in Sangdong, it is now entering a new operational phase and, with a market capitalization of more than EUR 4.2 billion, has made its way onto the buy lists of institutional investors. The recent consolidation appears to be over. What should investors be watching for now?

ITM Power, Lahontan Gold, DroneShield – Uncertainties Present Buying Opportunities
As expected, the peace talks between the US and Iran in Islamabad over the weekend have failed for now. As a result, global stock markets are likely to remain under pressure at the start of the week. Many stocks face the risk of massive corrections and oversold conditions, which could be exploited as buying opportunities in the long term. In addition to the gold sector, interesting opportunities are also emerging in the hydrogen and drone technology sectors.

Volatus Aerospace - War, AI, and Security Drive a Billion-Dollar Boom
The world is entering a new technological phase, with drones emerging as a critical component. Geopolitical tensions, such as in Ukraine and the Middle East, have underscored the strategic importance of unmanned systems in modern warfare. At the same time, demand for data, surveillance, and automation is accelerating rapidly, driven by the expansion of AI, data centers, and critical infrastructure. According to market studies, the global drone market is expected to exceed the USD 100 billion mark by 2032. The global counter-drone market is expanding even faster and could surpass USD 20 billion by 2030.
But it is not only in the military sector; an enormous growth market is also unfolding in the civilian sector. Drones are increasingly being used to inspect power grids, pipelines, offshore facilities, and agricultural land. The combination of falling costs, rising performance, and AI-powered data analysis makes them an indispensable tool. The current geopolitical environment is acting as a catalyst and could mark the start of a long-term supercycle.

Drone Market Set to Exceed USD 100 Billion: Volatus Aerospace Positioned to Benefit from Dual-Use Strategy
Drones have evolved from a niche application into a rapidly expanding multi-billion-dollar market. Industry estimates point to a global market volume exceeding USD 100 billion by 2032. The military sector in particular is booming, driven by geopolitical tensions and new forms of conflict. But the civilian market is also growing at double-digit rates and opening up enormous opportunities in infrastructure, logistics, and agriculture. Against this backdrop, Volatus Aerospace is positioning itself with a dual-use strategy that targets both military and commercial applications. The company reports an order pipeline exceeding CAD 600 million, highlighting strong operational momentum. Analyst price targets currently reach up to CAD 1.25, compared to a current share price of around CAD 0.70. The stock is also actively traded on German exchanges.

Iran Conflict and Chip Boom: Almonty Industries Emerges as a Raw Materials Superpower
Amid rising geopolitical tensions and increasing dependence on critical raw materials, investors are focusing on supply security and strategic assets. The geopolitical situation is escalating, while technological dependence on critical raw materials has reached a dangerous level. Almonty Industries sits right at the intersection and offers a solution to a problem affecting the West. With the opening of one of the world's largest tungsten mines in South Korea, the company has not only achieved an operational milestone but also made a political statement. This is about far more than just mining; it is about the independence of entire industries. In this report, we examine why Almonty Industries could be particularly well-positioned amid fragile ceasefires, such as in Iran, and rising commodity prices. Those who understand the management's foresight will quickly realize that a company has emerged here that will redefine the rules of the game on the global market. This is the story of forward-thinking strategy, technical necessity, and a passion for a raw material without which the modern world would likely grind to a halt.

Almonty Industries: Poised to Benefit from Tungsten Supply Constraints and Defense Demand
With the ceasefire in the Middle East, a new phase may emerge: increased rearmament. The arsenals in the US, Israel, and the Gulf states have been severely depleted. How quickly the replenishment succeeds is likely to depend heavily on the supply of critical raw materials. And in many cases, China, as a de facto monopolist, holds significant influence. One essential metal is tungsten. It is used not only for ammunition and missiles but also, for example, in the semiconductor industry. In this sector, genuine supply bottlenecks appear to be looming. Major Japanese companies are, in any case, warning of this. Against this backdrop, it is not surprising that the price of tungsten has risen from USD 900 to around USD 3,000 per metric ton unit (MTU) this year alone. Nor is it surprising that Almonty Industries is a real analyst favorite. The tungsten producer is positioned for strong earnings growth.

A USD 631 Billion Market – Rheinmetall, NEO Battery Materials, and BYD Lead the Battery Boom
The global energy transition has a quiet but powerful driver: the battery. No longer merely a storage device, it has become the strategic core of mobility, defense, and grid stability. By 2026, geopolitical tensions surrounding raw materials are intensifying, while innovations such as solid-state and sodium-ion cells are reshaping the technological landscape. Those who act decisively now can secure a competitive edge in an industry expected to grow to over USD 630 billion by 2035. However, not all players will benefit equally—success will depend on execution strength, material innovation, and the ability to scale quickly. These are precisely the qualities embodied by Rheinmetall, NEO Battery Materials, and BYD.

Markets Rally After Ceasefire: RENK, Vonovia, and Gold Gem Kobo Resources in focus
Global capital markets reacted with great relief yesterday to the ceasefire in the Middle East. While oil prices fell sharply, equities and precious metals moved higher. The gold price above USD 4,800 per ounce could act as a catalyst for Kobo Resources. The explorer has just completed a capital increase and published positive drilling results. The expected resource estimate could lead to a revaluation of the stock. Vonovia saw a surge in its share price yesterday. However, not all analysts are convinced by the real estate group. RENK's stock has been on an upward trend for several days now. In addition to positive analyst comments, the company recently secured a multi-million-dollar contract.
