Let off some steam! Caution advised for DroneShield, RENK, and Hensoldt - but opportunities at Pasinex
The stock market is entering a correction phase. For overheated stocks in the high-tech and defense sectors, this is a welcome opportunity to let off some steam. Now it is important to put the long-term prospects into perspective against the short-term hysteria. Doing so reveals where it may be worth buying after a correction. The charts are only just starting to rise, and a stronger correction should follow. In this context, the zinc projects of Pasinex Resources appear to be particularly attractive. As always, a balanced portfolio protects against unpleasant surprises. We present a few ideas.

China's leverage: Why Rheinmetall is struggling, European Lithium is benefiting, and BYD remains confident
The next wave of global conflicts will not be fought with weapons, but with export licenses. At the heart of this geopolitical struggle are critical metals without which no high-tech weapon, electric vehicle, or wind turbine can function. China's recent tightening of export restrictions has exposed the West's brutal dependency, forcing governments and corporations alike to rapidly rethink and realign their supply chains. While some companies are fighting to secure their supply chains, others are consolidating their sources or celebrating their monopolistic position. Three companies exemplify this dichotomy: the recently pressured defense giant Rheinmetall, the rare earth and lithium beneficiary European Lithium, and the Chinese giant BYD.

TAKEOVER rally and analyst reactions! Puma, CTS Eventim, AJN Resources!
Gold hopes, concert frustration, and takeover speculation—three exciting stories are currently moving the stock market. AJN Resources is starting the next phase of exploration and hopes to find millions of ounces of gold in Ethiopia. To this end, it has a strong partner on board. CTS Eventim shocks investors with weak figures, but analysts remain surprisingly calm. Is the stock now a buy? And at Puma, the possible exit of the Pinault family is causing the biggest jump in the share price in two decades. Is the cult brand facing a takeover from China? Analysts remain skeptical.

Freeport-McMoRan, Desert Gold Ventures, Rio Tinto – Investing in the future
What happens after Jackson Hole? Following Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's speech, which boosted the markets with the prospect of possible interest rate cuts later this year, Nvidia's earnings report on Wednesday will take center stage this week. Any disappointment could cause recent gains to vanish into thin air. Meanwhile, the price of gold remains stable and, after a brief sideways movement, could take off to new heights.

The defense industry in an Industrial Revolution! Rheinmetall, RENK, and Almonty Industries are benefiting!
The defense industry is at the beginning of a supercycle. This will not change even if peace is achieved in Ukraine, which is hardly more likely after the recent summit. After years of limited capacity, often small-scale production, and difficult financing conditions, the industry is increasingly moving into a new dimension of industrialization. To rapidly rearm Europe, the focus is shifting toward standardized products, larger quantities, and efficiency along the value chain. RENK and Rheinmetall are already following this path. But of course, suppliers must also keep pace. The fact that more tungsten will soon be available outside China is likely to be a blessing for Western defense companies. Almonty has built a state-of-the-art new mine in South Korea. Analysts expect massive increases in revenue and profits.

Two-tier market for raw materials: BHP Group, Power Metallic Mines, BYD
The term "commodity" refers to a standardized, interchangeable product with no unique characteristics. However, this principle is beginning to falter. On the one hand, production conditions are becoming increasingly important for raw materials; on the other, in an era of conflicting power blocs, tariffs, and other trade barriers, raw materials are far from interchangeable. The further processing of raw materials also gives companies in the sector the opportunity to set themselves apart from the competition and generate unique selling points. Commodity? That was yesterday! We explain the current development using the examples of BHP Group, Power Metallic Mines, and BYD, and highlight the opportunities for investors.

Defense, tungsten, algorithms: Invest in market leaders Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, and Palantir
In a world undergoing geopolitical upheaval, three key sectors are coming into focus: modern defense technology, critical raw materials, and strategic data analysis. While defense giants are benefiting from rising military budgets, raw material pioneers are satisfying the hunger for materials in the high-tech and defense industries. At the same time, data analysis is monetizing this new complexity for both companies and government security agencies. The successful convergence of these sectors is creating unique growth opportunities. Anyone looking to invest in the defense and security sector should keep an eye on market leaders Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, and Palantir. They benefit from stability, innovative strength, and reliable growth opportunities.

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.

100% with NATO contracts from the air! Airbus, Globex Mining, Boeing, and Lufthansa
The craziness continues! NATO member states have agreed on new planning targets for armaments and capabilities and, according to Secretary General Mark Rutte, have increased the requirements for air and missile defense by about 30%. Rutte stated: "We need more resources, troops, and capabilities to be prepared for any threat." German Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasised that Germany would provide all the necessary resources to expand the Bundeswehr into the strongest conventional army in Europe. According to experts, large-scale defense projects, particularly in the aerospace sector, will require enormous investments and far-reaching acquisitions. Across Europe, around EUR 300 billion is expected to be invested in air forces by 2030. Investors should now set the course to benefit from the flood of orders in the aerospace sector.

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.
