New WORLD ORDER and DEFENSE FANTASY: Deutz, Hensoldt, and Almonty Industries!
China, Russia, and India are driving forward a multipolar world order — and thanks to the erratic politics of Donald Trump, they seem to be succeeding. At least, that is what the recent SCO summit suggests. For Western industries, this means growing supply issues with critical raw materials like tungsten. Almonty Industries is benefiting from this. The producer plans to commission the largest Western tungsten mine in South Korea and promises high margins. The recent weakness in the share price presents a buying opportunity. Deutz, meanwhile, is fueling new defense-related fantasies with its entry into the drone market. The share price reacted yesterday with a jump of over 5%. Hensoldt, on the other hand, is struggling with a challenging valuation following weak figures, even though the share price has recently gained ground. Where is it worth getting in?

Gold price enters next stage of escalation - Barrick Mining, Dryden Gold, New Gold
Are the major indices, such as the Dow Jones, Nasdaq 100, and MSCI World, beginning to experience the correction anticipated by many experts? The signs are increasing. In addition to the Shiller P/E ratio and the Warren Buffett indicator, both at historic highs, the excessive valuations of some companies, such as Nvidia and Palantir, are also cause for concern. In contrast, the gold price appears to be climbing to new highs. The uncertain geopolitical situation, the ongoing trade war between the US and China, and disagreements over fiscal policy are just a few of the factors that could push the yellow precious metal to even higher.

The hidden opportunity: Why Commerzbank, Desert Gold, and K+S are now in focus
The stock markets resemble a minefield: geopolitical tensions, unpredictable interest rate policies, and protectionist trade measures create an explosive mixture. In this environment, making informed investment decisions is crucial for protecting and growing capital. While safe havens are booming, cyclical stocks are struggling with the uncertainties. Against this backdrop, it is worthwhile to take a closer look at the strategic positioning of Commerzbank, the potential of gold explorer Desert Gold, and the resilience of fertilizer specialist K+S.

11 reasons why Almonty Industries is the top choice for investors in the tungsten sector
Tungsten plays a key role in the realm of strategic raw materials. Its unique properties make it indispensable for high-tech industries, defense technology, and the energy transition. Its hardness, density, and heat resistance are irreplaceable worldwide—whether in armor plating, rocket propulsion systems, medical devices, or wind turbines. However, with a market share of over 80%, China and Russia control almost the entire global supply. Reliable sources outside these regions are incredibly scarce. Almonty Industries (WKN: A414Q8 | ISIN: CA0203987072 | Ticker symbol: ALI1) has positioned itself as the leading Western alternative in recent years. Here are the 11 key reasons why this tungsten specialist represents the top investment opportunity in the sector – and why investors should be cautious of so-called imitators.

China boosts gold – Now insurers are joining in: Sranan Gold, China Life, Allianz
China is moving the markets. The latest China bombshell concerns gold. Starting this year, Chinese companies are required to invest 1% of their assets in physical gold. This change underscores the Chinese authorities' view that gold is a key anchor of stability for the financial system. Considering the huge capital reserves of Chinese insurers, up to USD 27 billion could flow into the gold market. Analysts are celebrating the additional institutional demand, and companies like China Life are showing strong cooperation. But the best news is yet to come for gold investors.

Gold story remains intact – Three good ideas for every portfolio: Dryden Gold, Kinross Gold, and Barrick Mining
"Gold is money. Everything else is credit" – banker JP Morgan recognized this long ago. The precious metal is currently in high demand again. ETF investors in particular, but also central banks, are betting on gold. In July, global holdings in ETFs climbed to 3,639 tons, the highest level since August 2022. Central banks have purchased around 1,000 tons of gold annually over the past three years – about twice the amount they bought per year in the previous decade. This shows that demand from both private and professional investors remains unbroken. We present three promising gold stocks and explain where even speculative investors can get their money's worth.

Defense sell-off – New doublers are emerging with thyssenkrupp, Almonty, and Heidelberger Druck
What defense speculators always feared as a looming threat is now happening within just one week: Peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine! Even though nothing concrete has happened yet, the sentiment is clear: If only half of the numerous geopolitical conflicts calm down or even disappear entirely, the pressure to rearm will ease, and potential orders, which were already reflected extensively in share prices, could be reduced or canceled altogether. Public budgets resemble a pressure cooker at 120 degrees, so any relief is welcome. It will be interesting to see how far defense stocks might fall, especially after rising by up to 2000% in the case of Rheinmetall. Almonty remains interesting because, even with reduced defense demand, critical metals remain the bottleneck of Western industries. It is worth taking a closer look.

Defense rally after summit flop? Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, Volatus Aerospace!
Are defense stocks taking off again? The meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on Friday had been eagerly anticipated. But the "peace summit" turned out to be just a PR stunt. Russia continues its massive attacks on Ukraine, with no end in sight. As a result, the consolidation phase in defense stocks may now be over. One candidate for a strong rebound is Volatus Aerospace. The Company appears to be helping NATO get up to speed in the drone sector and has a strong second pillar in the non-military sector. Among the German heavyweights, weak order intake had caused disappointment. Now the shares could be heading back toward their all-time highs. At Rheinmetall, a personnel change is making additional headlines.

War and raw material shortages = Your profit: How Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, and RENK are now cashing in
The global security architecture is collapsing, and with it, the rules of the game in the defense industry are changing. While superpowers like the US are pumping billions into strategic raw materials to break critical import dependencies, resource security is becoming the new currency of military strength. Tungsten, rare earths, and high-performance metals are now decisive factors in technological sovereignty. Those who take advantage of this shift stand to benefit from unprecedented government initiatives. Three companies are positioning themselves decisively in this area: Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, and RENK.

Rheinmetall & Hensoldt disappoint! The real WINNERS of the DEFENSE BOOM: Alzchem and Almonty!
Rheinmetall and Hensoldt have disappointed stock market investors with their quarterly figures. Growth, profitability, and, in particular, order intake are lagging behind high expectations. Are the second-tier companies perhaps the real winners of the defense boom? Namely, the suppliers that can deliver to virtually every defense contractor. Take Almonty, for example. The tungsten specialist is inundated with inquiries and is set to begin operations at the largest Western mine later this year. Defense contractors can only dream of such profit margins. Analysts see more than 50% upside potential. Alzchem is also doing good business with numerous defense companies. Among other things, the German company supplies specialty chemicals for explosives. A new major shareholder is causing a stir. However, not all analysts see room for further price gains.
