Dividends: Headwinds for Allianz and TotalEnergies – RE Royalties in an Interesting Position
Making your money work for you – that is probably every investor's dream. Dividends can be the key to achieving that. But a generous cash flow today is worthless if the underlying business models are already obsolete tomorrow. Taking a sober look at the balance sheet is no longer enough to reliably assess which dividend stock is truly sustainable—both in terms of consistent payouts and ESG criteria. We take a closer look at three dividend stocks with a promising future and show what role these shares could play in a portfolio.

Banking Shock at Bank of America and Deutsche Bank? We Know the Landmines – and Lahontan Gold Offers a Solution
When interest rates rise, and the mountains of debt in Western industrialised nations grow ever higher, experience shows that investors view the financial system with increasing unease. The automatic tendency to simply park liquidity in accounts or invest it in government bonds is being called into question. On both sides of the Atlantic, the strain is becoming palpable. While US public finances are suffering from ever-higher interest rates, ailing infrastructure and high energy prices are weighing on Europe's economic potential. This also shines a spotlight on banks, which, as key players in the financial system, serve as a barometer of financial stability. Resourceful investors are already changing their behaviour and turning their attention increasingly to crisis-proof tangible assets such as gold.

Newmont, Kobo Resources and B2Gold: The Roadmap to Record Profits in the West African Gold Sector
The gold market surged by a whopping 15% in August, reaching as high as USD 4,700 per ounce. The last time such an explosive single-month rise was seen in the gold sector was 27 years ago. The triggers are the fragile US fiscal policy, conflicts in the Middle East and the Fed's expected interest rate cut. Gold companies are benefiting from the high gold price. Leading the way are those operating in West Africa's most promising gold-producing regions. In Mali, calm is returning following the political turmoil. The country increased production by 30% in the first half of the year, while Côte d'Ivoire attracts investors with its stability and rich deposits. Reason enough for us to take a closer look at Newmont, Kobo Resources and B2Gold.

Gold Rush—But Which One Is Better? DRC Gold, Ivanhoe Mines and Newmont in the Spotlight
As central banks around the world resume buying gold and geopolitical turmoil shakes confidence in fiat currencies, one thing is clear: humanity's oldest form of currency is experiencing a renaissance.

Companies in the gold sector are profiting from the rally and, under certain circumstances, can even offer leverage on the precious metal.

Gold Rush in West Africa: Desert Gold, Barrick and B2Gold—New Opportunities on the Horizon?
Gold is trading above USD 4,600 per ounce, delivering exceptional margins for producers. High government deficits, geopolitical conflicts, doubts about the long-term stability of major currencies, and the continued diversification of central bank reserves are driving structural demand, while rising interest rates and a strong US dollar could act as a brake. Overall, the big picture is promising. However, with mining stocks, the devil is in the details; therefore, jurisdiction, location, and project quality also play a major role. The intersection of these three companies lies in Mali, a key mining country, where the situation is increasingly returning to normal. Thus, existing risk premiums could decline significantly in the future. Barrick is ramping up Loulo-Gounkoto faster than expected, and B2Gold has received the crucial approval for the Fekola expansion. Desert Gold offers the greatest upside potential with a massive land portfolio, a resource base of more than 1 million ounces of gold, and the upcoming start of production. Analysts attest to the stock's potential for significant price appreciation.
