The Copper-Gold Boom: How Rio Tinto, Globex Mining and Franco-Nevada Benefit from the Same Megatrend
Copper and gold are both climbing to high levels at the same time. This is a rare occurrence. On the London Metal Exchange, a metric ton of copper most recently cost USD 14,779, while gold is trading at over USD 4,300 per ounce. Central banks purchased 288.9 metric tons of the precious metal in the second quarter alone. At the same time, global copper mine production fell by 1.1% in the first half of the year. It takes 12 to 15 years from discovery to the first metric ton mined. So the high prices cannot give the mines a quick boost. We will therefore look at three companies profiting from the shortage: Rio Tinto, Globex Mining and Franco-Nevada.

Deutsche Telekom Defies the Sector, TUI at a Low and Lahontan Gold Ready to Break Out: The Big Opportunities
Deutsche Telekom has been caught up in the fallout from the downgrade of rival Orange, but is hitting back with EUR 20 billion in cash flow and pure AI potential. At TUI, the sharp share price decline and an upcoming change at the top could also open a potential entry window for bold contrarian investors. In the commodities sector, meanwhile, explorer Lahontan Gold could be on the verge of a major technical breakout, potentially offering speculative gains for those willing to take the risk. We take a closer look at where the biggest opportunities lie and which of these stocks belong in your portfolio.

Barrick Mining, Desert Gold, B2Gold: From Reliable Cash Flow to Significant Leverage in Mali's Resurgent Gold Region
Mali is back on the map for gold investors. Between January and June 2026, the country produced 23.5 metric tons of gold—about 30% more than in the same period the previous year and more than the government had anticipated (21.2 metric tons). At the same time, the price per troy ounce exceeds USD 4,300. High prices and mines resuming operations are working in producers' favour, while developers hope to make the leap into production. Investors looking to profit from this trend have a choice between steady cash flow, the significant upside potential of a production launch, and regional growth. We therefore take a closer look at three companies active in Mali: Barrick Mining, Desert Gold and B2Gold.

E-Mobility in the Grip of Energy Prices! Things Are Heating Up for VW, Porsche, Mercedes, BYD and Phenom Resources
Filling up currently feels like a painful visit to the dentist — but without much hope of a cure! Yet despite all the gloom, there are also winners. Against the backdrop of rising energy prices, European e-mobility has entered a dynamic yet fiercely competitive phase in recent months. The historic price shock at the pump is prompting consumers to rethink their spending while driving a boom in new battery electric vehicle registrations. In Europe, electric vehicles now appear on the horizon as a subsidized solution, while gasoline and diesel prices march from one all-time high to the next. However, the charts so beloved by stock market traders are difficult to apply to gas station products. As the operating costs of internal combustion engines soar, electric vehicles are rapidly gaining appeal as an alternative. This is particularly good news for Chinese automakers, who are pushing into Europe with an aggressive market strategy and challenging the established, traditional brands. Even the import tariffs imposed by Brussels on pure-electric vehicles can barely slow the advance from the Far East. The local automotive industry is thus under unprecedented pressure to transform and compete. Where exactly should investors be looking?

Cash Is King: How Barrick and PDI Gold Are Turning Mali into a Cash Cow – Desert Gold Set to Become a Gold Producer
In the past, West Africa was often seen as a region of missed opportunities and geopolitical uncertainties. But a closer look at Mali today shows a different picture.

Evidence of this can be seen in the investments made by major mining conglomerates. While industry giants such as Barrick are investing in Mali, dynamic challenger Desert Gold is also coming into focus. Desert Gold is poised to become a gold producer. Here is why the company is entering a pivotal phase.

Glencore, Kobo Resources, Elmet Group: Gold Discovery and Billion-Dollar Deal
The race for raw materials is intensifying. The US is investing directly in strategic metals, Western companies are seeking new sources of supply, and resource-rich countries increasingly want to process their own mineral wealth rather than simply export ore. As a result, Africa is moving further into the spotlight. The continent holds vast mineral resources, but has so far participated only to a limited extent in downstream value creation. That is now beginning to change.

AI Bubble Ahead? SAP Is Worried, SpaceX Is Betting on the Future, and Lahontan Gold Is Banking on Hard Assets in the Ground
In the herd mentality of financial markets, what really matters often gets overlooked. For months, headlines about artificial intelligence, data centres in space and other visions of the future have been driving share prices. Yet while investors are pouring billions into these trending sectors, the upside potential is shrinking with every positive trading day—the premature hype is already too great. Those looking for substance are turning to hard assets: undeveloped precious-metal deposits in stable legal jurisdictions can offer leverage that the broader market has largely overlooked. We take a closer look.

Barrick Mining, DRC Gold and B2Gold: Three Gold Plays That Could Benefit Investors from the Next Price Surge
Gold has long been more than just a hedge against crisis. Central banks keep buying, while new mines take years to start producing. This imbalance plays into the hands of the gold price. But what is the best way to profit from it? Those who hold physical gold participate directly in price movements. Mining stocks can see significantly greater price swings depending on their stage of development. Whether large-scale ongoing production, new resources, or expandable output is the better path depends on the individual company. We therefore examine how this leverage differs among Barrick Mining, DRC Gold and B2Gold.

Gold at USD 10,000? Desert Gold Poised for Gold Production, Takeover Speculation and Multi-Bagger Potential
Is this gold stock about to take off? The gold price currently seems unable to decide which direction to take. On the one hand, interest-rate concerns loom; on the other, steadily rising government debt worldwide points to further price gains. Experts, in any case, remain bullish. State Street and Saxo Bank even consider a gold price of USD 10,000 per troy ounce possible in the coming years. Regardless, there are good reasons why Desert Gold stock could break out of its sideways trend to the upside in the coming weeks. The company is targeting the start of gold production in the fourth quarter. Production costs are estimated at USD 1,100 per ounce. This could fuel takeover speculation. Analysts see multi-bagger potential in the stock.
