Precious Metals Sell-Off – Position for Quality Now! Barrick, Agnico Eagle, Fresnillo and Lahontan Gold
Persistently high interest rates and stubborn inflation are severely limiting the US Federal Reserve's room for manoeuvre, putting noticeable pressure on financial markets and driving volatility sharply higher. With rapid rate cuts unlikely for the time being, this environment is also weighing on traditional safe-haven assets such as gold and silver. Because precious metals do not generate interest income, significant capital is flowing into interest-bearing investments, which has recently sent metal prices into a tailspin. Yesterday, silver fell below USD 60, and even gold struggled to close above USD 4,000. Yet for strategic investors, these falling prices offer an excellent opportunity to identify an attractive entry point. The current correction is clearing speculative excesses from the market and pushing prices back toward levels that look fundamentally attractive. The limited supply of physical commodities provides a solid foundation that protects against a lasting loss of value. Those who keep their nerve now and view the temporary price decline as a discount are laying the groundwork for above-average returns when the next precious-metals upswing arrives.

Takeover Battle Intensifies: BASF, Evonik, Gerresheimer and Phenom Resources
The takeover battle surrounding BASF and Evonik is intensifying, and politicians are now getting involved as well. The state government is demanding job guarantees, while the leader of the SPD parliamentary group in North Rhine-Westphalia has voiced criticism and called on Minister President Hendrik Wüst to step up his efforts and provide greater clarity. Phenom Resources is a hot stock with takeover potential. The Canadian company is focused on gold and vanadium projects in the US state of Nevada. Its gold and copper assets are set to be spun off—but could a strategic partner make a move instead? Gerresheimer was already in the crosshairs of financial investors back in 2025. Since the failed takeover attempt, however, things have been relatively quiet. The company is currently restructuring and streamlining its business. That could eventually put it back on potential buyers' radar.

Gold Mining Stocks: Time to Buy? Barrick Mining, B2Gold and Desert Gold in Focus
Should you buy gold mining stocks now? Gold expert Markus Bußler sees the recent pullback as an attractive entry opportunity. After a rally of about 50%, the GDX mining ETF had fallen about 18% from its high. This has brought it back into the technical buy zone between approximately USD 84 and USD 88. At these levels, the expert believes the risk-reward ratio once again favours buying. A similar technical setup had already led him to a positive assessment in July. The market subsequently posted strong gains. The current negative sentiment therefore does not deter him. Stocks such as Barrick Mining, B2Gold and Desert Gold could benefit from this development.

First Buying Opportunities in Gold Stocks? A Look at Agnico Eagle, Lahontan Gold and Lundin Gold
Gold came under heavy selling pressure as bond yields rose and the US dollar strengthened again. After hitting an August high of more than USD 4,600 per ounce, the price fell to just below USD 4,200. Buying emerged again at those levels. For short-term technical analysts, the question now is whether the June and July lows will be tested once more. Those lows were about USD 100 below the current price. For longer-term investors in mining stocks, however, a different question arises: Is it time to start building initial positions in promising gold stocks again? After all, these stocks have also come under significant pressure. Today, we take a closer look at Agnico Eagle, Lahontan Gold and Lundin Gold.

Bucking the Market Trend: Opportunities at Mercedes, First Hydrogen and Barrick Mining
The Nasdaq 100 hit a new all-time high last week. The tech index is driven primarily by AI stocks, leading to astonishing valuations. For example, the combined value of all publicly traded German stocks currently amounts to about 52% of the market capitalization of AI champion Nvidia, as one analyst calculated. However, some sectors are currently underperforming. For investors who like to take a contrarian approach, this presents opportunities—for example, in the automotive and gold sectors or in hydrogen stocks. That is why today we are taking a look at the stocks of Mercedes, First Hydrogen and Barrick Mining.

Portfolio Booster Wanted? Deutz, TKMS and DRC Gold – Three Stocks With Potential
The stock markets are buzzing, and many investors are already fearing early signs of a crash—but we are not there yet, because investors are always looking for new opportunities. Sometimes the best opportunities are hiding in plain sight; sometimes, you have to dig deeper. Today, we have done exactly that and identified three stocks worth a closer look. First up is Deutz, which is reinventing itself and pushing into alternative drive technologies. Next, we dive into TKMS, where defence-sector spending is fueling fresh market interest and driving sharp share price moves. Finally, DRC Gold offers exposure to a gold exploration story that could be developing into something much bigger beneath the radar of the major mining companies. Three very different companies, three distinct market stories — and potentially three ways to give a portfolio fresh momentum. The key, as always, is timing.

The Race in Quantum Computing, Energy and Gold: D-Wave Quantum, 2G Energy and Lahontan Gold in Focus
The AI race is electrifying the stock market. Energy is a crucial factor. 2G Energy is increasingly benefiting from this trend. Order intake in the third quarter of 2026 has soared. A key driver is a new major order for 275 MW from the data centre industry, which exceeds 2G's total production for fiscal year 2025. While the gold price continues to take a breather at high levels, Lahontan Gold is in the home stretch toward the planned start of gold production next year. An exciting update was provided in a recent interview. The resource is growing and still has further upside potential. The mine is to be financed largely with debt, while the high gold price is expected to enable rapid repayment. Lahontan shares should benefit from this. Quantum stocks are currently out of the spotlight. In the race for industry leadership, however, the finish line appears to be shifting. D-Wave Quantum's latest announcement shows the company is among the frontrunners.

Between Stock Lows, Optimism and the Launch of a Funding Round - CTS Eventim, Desert Gold and Hypoport

This market report analyzes three compelling cases amid short-term price setbacks and long-term turnaround opportunities.

Equinox Gold, Lahontan Gold, B2Gold – The Hunt for the Next Million Ounces
Gold remains one of the big winners in the commodities markets. High prices not only boost producers' profits but also increase the value of undeveloped deposits. Deposits that previously received little attention can suddenly become economically attractive. Consequently, mining companies are once again investing heavily in exploration. In this context, it is increasingly important to identify companies that can expand their resources, discover new deposits, and bring additional ounces into production as cost-effectively as possible.
