Almonty Industries - Trade restrictions are not always a bad thing; they can also represent a real opportunity
Trade restrictions, particularly China's recent export restrictions on critical metals and rare earths, have put pressure on the global economy. According to a report by Reuters, China has warned South Korean companies against supplying products containing Chinese rare earth minerals to US defense companies. However, these developments open up opportunities for Western companies like Almonty Industries to strengthen their security of supply and position themselves as reliable partners in critical supply chains. Investors looking for long-term, stable investment options, in particular, should take a closer look at the potential of Almonty Industries.

No Trump frustration with 123fahrschule and Mutares, but caution is advised with defense stocks such as RENK, Hensoldt, and Steyr!
The daily news is driving stock market activity. After a rollercoaster ride caused by Trump, popular tech stocks such as the Magnificent 7 are now down a good 20%. In the case of Nvidia, the stock is now USD 50 below its peak. For many, this is an opportunity to finally take a breather and think about the rest of the stock market year. Small caps such as the successful 123fahrschule continue to work on their growth programs, and Mutares is making good progress with its investments. The hot defense stocks RENK and Hensoldt appear somewhat overpriced. Those who want to generate returns now must be very selective and invest in specialties. After gains of just under 10% per annum, global ETF savers will likely take a break from returns in 2025. In the meantime, flexible investors will come out on top. Here are a few ideas.

The end of the dollar? Deutsche Bank, Newmont, and Desert Gold
The independence of the central bank is a valuable asset that is highly valued by investors. Once again, US President Donald Trump has shaken the independence of the Fed and raised the possibility of dismissing US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. The reason: While the ECB cut interest rates on Maundy Thursday, Powell wants to wait and see how the tariffs affect the dollar zone before he adjusts interest rates. Powell's dismissal could have fatal consequences for the capital markets.

Almonty Industries – Escalation level raised
The trade war between the US and China reached a new level last week. On "Liberation Day", US President Trump raised punitive tariffs to an incredible 125%, prompting China to respond with export controls on rare earth metals that are essential for the manufacture of electric motors, batteries, and magnets, as well as for the defense industry. Similar restrictions on gallium, germanium, and tungsten have also been in place since the end of last year. At least in the case of tungsten, which is needed for use in armor-piercing ammunition, for example, there are signs of easing tensions with the start of production at the Sangdong mine in South Korea. The operating company's share price, Almonty Industries, has partially met expectations in recent months, but analysts believe it still holds significant upside potential.

Gold price soon to reach USD 4,000! Profit with gold gem Tocvan Ventures! Share about to be taken over?
Will the tariff hammer be followed by a currency war? Speculation about the devaluation of the US dollar is already rife on the capital markets. One sign of this is that central banks are continuing to buy gold on a massive scale. After the price per troy ounce easily surpassed USD 3,300 last week, analysts are now targeting the USD 4,000 mark. The current environment makes it clear that gold belongs in every diversified portfolio. Tocvan Ventures is an exciting opportunity to jump on the gold bandwagon. The project in Mexico is at an advanced stage and is set to be developed into a world-class operation. After more than four years of exploration work, the project is expected to be given the green light in 2025. The share price has finally taken off, still has a lot of upside potential, should receive mining approval this year and offers takeover speculation.

39th MKK - Munich Capital Market Conference: Reaching new heights with thyssenkrupp, Deutsche Lufthansa, Freenet & Co.
The general conditions were anything but favorable. In addition to the weak performance of the German economy due to cyclical and structural pressures and an unclear political strategy, US President Donald Trump shocked the markets with his tariff hammer. Nevertheless, interest in the 39th edition of the MKK – Munich Capital Market Conference, organized by GBC AG, was greater than ever. Above all, the Augsburg-based company made its mark with the size of the event. Of the 40 companies presenting, nine were MDAX and SDAX members, significantly enhancing the format's prestige.

Gold defies the crash – Tocvan Ventures with historic results
The US government's imposition of punitive tariffs on a total of 185 countries caused global stock markets to falter. The German leading index, DAX, alone lost around 17% of its value since the announcement, leaving the psychological mark of 20,000 points far behind. Once again, gold has proven to be a safe haven, regaining the USD 3,000 per ounce mark after a brief pullback. Due to the escalating trade wars, rising inflation, and unrelenting geopolitical tensions, the precious metal is likely to continue its upward cycle. As the underlying commodity gains strength, gold stocks present massive upside potential. Tocvan Ventures, in particular, has recently made a name for itself with impressive gold discoveries.
