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 The US administration needs a lot of money to get the outdated infrastructure and the entire economy back on track.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?

"Best-in-Class" – How sustainability generates returns: Rio Tinto, Barrick Gold, and Power Metallic Mines
Large commodity companies such as Rio Tinto and Barrick Gold regularly had to listen to criticism at their annual general meetings: Activist shareholders and investors with a long-term focus called for greater sustainability. And not without reason: In 2020, mining was responsible for 4 to 7% of greenhouse gas emissions. A lot has happened since then. Regulatory requirements and investment principles, such as the "Best-in-Class" approach, reward innovators in the field of sustainability. We explain how ESG can boost returns in mining.

Bayer, Desert Gold, Snowflake – Breakout imminent
US President Donald Trump's tariff hammer against the European Union caused stock markets to falter at the close of the trading week, but the postponement of the measures by four weeks eased tensions over the weekend. As a result, Germany's leading index, the DAX, got off to a flying start to the week, regaining the 24,000-point mark. However, uncertainties remain, meaning the safe haven gold could once again rise to new highs.

This commodity rule no longer applies: Barrick Gold, BHP Group, Globex Mining
The mining industry is undergoing change: ESG criteria are playing an increasingly important role. Megatrends such as the electrification of mobility and industry are changing global demand for commodities. At the same time, security of supply is becoming more critical due to increasing geopolitical tensions. Today, we take a look at three companies – Barrick Gold, BHP Group and Globex Mining – and explain why investors need to rethink their approach to commodity stocks, as old principles no longer apply in today's market.

RAW MATERIALS and DEFENSE! Sell Hensoldt? Buy Deutz and Globex Mining shares?
Raw materials and defense remain among the hot topics of the year. Globex Mining is benefiting not only from the gold boom but also from the battle for raw materials. The stock of the mining incubator currently offers an exciting entry opportunity. Analysts recommend buying Deutz. However, after a solid quarter, the engine manufacturer needs to shift up a gear or two to justify its valuation. A highlight was the development in order intake. This is precisely what Hensoldt is lacking. When a growth company's revenue increases more strongly than its order intake, investors should at least keep an eye on it. Analysts are also skeptical regarding Hensoldt's valuation and recommend selling the stock.

Defense out - Time to buy commodities! Hensoldt, Globex Mining, Barrick, Mutares, and Steyr
That is how quickly market darlings can fall out of favor. Just last week, Rheinmetall & Co. were hitting record highs, but as of Monday, the euphoria came to a sudden halt. Trump agreed with China on lower tariffs, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy will travel to Turkey on Thursday to sit down with Russia's aggressor, Vladimir Putin. At the moment, this is still hard to believe. For the capital markets, however, this means a shift: out of defense and into high-tech and automotive stocks, the biggest winners of recent hours. The whole thing could be seen as a healthy rotation, as the major indices are at record levels, while tech and automotive stocks have corrected significantly in recent weeks. Once again, the cards are being reshuffled. For Globex Mining, the setback is suitable for medium-term follow-up purchases.

Gold at USD 6,000 and takeover rumors: Evotec, Barrick Gold, and Desert Gold shares
Evotec shares shot up by over 10% on Friday. Is it due to the payment from the Gates Foundation? Or is there a new attempt to buy German biotech companies soon? Desert Gold is a hot takeover candidate in the gold sector. The Canadians aim to expand their resources to 2 million ounces and start production soon. Analysts at GBC Research believe the share price could multiply. GBC's estimates are based on a gold price of USD 2,300. Currently, the precious metal is trading above USD 3,000. According to experts, USD 6,000 is even possible. In that case, even Barrick could strike it rich. However, the latest first-quarter report failed to provide new momentum for the stock. Are acquisitions needed?

High-grade discovery at Tocvan Ventures – Gold corridor within reach at Gran Pilar
Volatility on the capital markets reached record levels in the first quarter of 2025. Geopolitical upheavals and unpredictable US policy have caused stock prices to fluctuate wildly. Precious metal investments could provide a good hedge against turbulence in the financial system and a devaluation of the US dollar. With spot prices recently reaching new record highs, investors are increasingly strengthening their exposure to the commodities sector. Gold has so far met expectations with prices of up to USD 3,500 and an annual gain of just under 20% in 2025, while silver has also reached high prices of over USD 35. In addition to producers, the spotlight is now shifting to the second tier of explorers. This is because the valuations of in-ground resources are at their lowest level in decades. Canadian gold explorer Tocvan Ventures (CSE: TOC | WKN: A2PE64 | ISIN: CA88900N1050 | CAD 0.69) has recently seen a string of positive announcements. The latest update on recent drilling at the Pilar gold-silver project in Sonora delivered impressive gold and silver grades.

While Friedrich Merz fails, BUYING OPPORTUNITIES arise for these stocks: Deutz, BYD, and Power Metallic Mines
Friedrich Merz has failed in the first round of voting to become Chancellor. But these stocks are winners: without metals, there would be no electromobility, no defense, no infrastructure - and when it comes to gold, no store of value. Power Metallic Metals caused a stir last year with spectacular drilling results. The latest samples show that the potential is far from exhausted. The current consolidation of the stock should soon be over. Deutz has already demonstrated how quickly a stock can explode. Analysts believe there is even more upside potential! And what is BYD doing? The Chinese company is growing strongly in their home market. In Europe, a bestseller is now set to bring success. Is this a threat to Volkswagen?
