Is Gold Headed for USD 10,000 as a Survival Strategy? Caution Advised for TUI, Lufthansa, DRC Gold, and Porsche
What do Ed Yardeni, Chris Wood, and Thomas Kaplan have in common? In recent months, all three have mentioned a USD 10,000 price target for gold. Mr. Yardeni, founder of Yardeni Research, sees a global debasement of currencies and believes this target could be reached between 2028 and 2029. Chris Wood, Global Head of Equity Strategy at the research firm Jefferies, considers a five-digit valuation for the yellow metal possible within about five years. His reasoning includes a structural bull market, geopolitical uncertainty, and increasing central bank purchases. Finally, Thomas Kaplan of the Electrum Group also regards this target as realistic if gold is rediscovered as a monetary reserve. All of these arguments are understandable, though whether such a scenario will actually materialize remains uncertain. However, many of the factors cited are already evident today. We therefore look beyond the immediate horizon, broadening our view to include tourism and luxury goods - sectors that currently stand somewhat in the shadow of surging gold prices, yet remain no less interesting.

Lynas Rare Earths, Power Metallic Mines, Mosaic – 3 Winners in the Raw Materials War
The global battle for critical raw materials is intensifying. Resources such as rare earth elements, copper, nickel, and cobalt are indispensable for electric mobility, wind power, and power grids, but also for modern defense technology. While China still controls large parts of global processing, the US, Europe, and their partners are attempting to establish new supply chains through multi-billion-dollar programs. Mining projects, recycling processes, and strategic partnerships are therefore moving into focus in this geopolitical race. For commodity companies, this environment is turning critical minerals into one of the defining investment themes of the coming years.

Spain is investing over EUR 400 million in critical raw materials: Deutsche Rohstoff, Group Eleven Resources, and Standard Lithium in focus
Spain is taking the initiative on critical raw materials and has allocated EUR 414 million in public funding. The action plan, which runs through 2030, includes 34 measures aimed at strengthening the exploration, recycling, extraction, and processing of strategically important raw materials. A full EUR 182 million is earmarked for a new national exploration program. This move is noteworthy because Madrid is sending a signal that has long been missing in Europe: securing raw materials is no longer a secondary issue, but a central pillar of industrial policy. Group Eleven Resources could benefit from this shift. The company is currently advancing a zinc-lead-silver project in Ireland, and the stock is gaining momentum. Shares of Deutsche Rohstoff AG have also performed strongly, with analysts seeing further upside potential. And what about investor favorite Standard Lithium?

RENK, Silver Viper, Harmony Gold – Silver and Copper in the Global Commodities Race
Silver and copper are increasingly becoming key strategic metals in the new industrial era. The global expansion of renewable energy, power grids, and electric mobility is driving demand skyward. At the same time, demand from the defense industry is also growing. This is offset by a supply that is growing ever more slowly. New mines take years to reach production, while existing deposits, in some cases, are showing declining ore grades. Experts are therefore already warning of structural bottlenecks. For producers, this tension between rising demand and limited supply could become a real profit driver.

The Commodities Bet for 2026: Why Desert Gold Ventures Could Outperform Barrick Mining and How K+S is Benefiting from the Iran War
In the spring of 2026, the gold market is in a phase of extreme volatility that sends shivers down the spines of traders. Following a spectacular all-time high of over USD 5,400 per troy ounce in January, gold is now trading sideways in a volatile range of roughly USD 5,000–5,200. Investors are watching intently the players who extract this precious metal from the earth. At the centre of this is the exciting question of whether "smaller companies" like Desert Gold Ventures will outpace the sluggish giant producers. While Barrick Mining struggles with an unprecedented cost spiral, Desert Gold Ventures is already poised in Mali for its first production. This picture is complemented by a strategic look at K+S, which is currently benefiting from the war in Iran, as 30% of fertilizers pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Who is betting on the right commodity stocks now and will profit from them in 2026?

Almonty Industries: Analyst price targets continue to rise - Now as high as USD 25.80. What is behind the new targets
It does not happen often that a commodity market that has remained stable for decades suddenly becomes fundamentally disrupted. Yet that is exactly what we are currently witnessing in the tungsten right now. China is curbing exports, the US Department of Defense is banning Chinese tungsten starting in 2027, and prices are surging to historic highs. Amid this perfect storm stands a company that has quietly and persistently been building a Western alternative for years: Almonty Industries. While the world searches for solutions, the Canadian producer has just started operations at its Sangdong mine in South Korea - at precisely the right time and in exactly the right place.

This is a paradise for traders, an opportunity for long-term investors, and a costly mistake for the nervous. This is how modern stock markets operate: AI-driven trading algorithms anticipate possible scenarios based on volatility patterns and reshape order books within milliseconds. For private investors, the key is to keep their nerve and separate the wheat from the chaff. We take a closer look at Evotec, TeamViewer, and Lahontan Gold. Because where there is light, there is also shadow.

Gold & silver poised to rise: How investors can profit now with Agnico Eagle Mines, Silver Viper Minerals, and Harmony Gold!
Stock markets have been extremely volatile since the start of the war. They are going up or down on a daily basis. At gas stations, but also in the chemical industry, the consequences are already being felt in the form of higher costs for consumers and industry. But one thing is also clear: in times like these, investors seek safe havens. One beneficiary is the dollar. The greenback has gained ground after a long period of weakness. This appears to be more of a traditional reflex on the part of the markets. Given the high level of US debt, investors have tended to seek refuge in recent years and shift their investments to hard assets such as gold or cash flow-strong stocks. The war appears to have interrupted this debasement trend.

Nearly 50% upside potential: Rheinmetall, RENK, and Standard Uranium
Buying opportunities are emerging here. After the muted market reaction to the annual results, analysts see a buying opportunity in RENK. According to their estimates, the stock could offer almost 50% upside potential, although there are also more cautious voices. Rheinmetall, too, failed to fully convince the market with its 2025 results and outlook. Given the current valuations, investors appear to be expecting more. In contrast, uranium stocks may be presenting fresh entry opportunities. Driven by the AI boom, industry leaders such as Cameco have already performed strongly. Exploration companies, however, could still have significant catch-up potential. Standard Uranium is pursuing a risk-diversified strategy. The company is exploring a broad portfolio of projects near major players such as Fission Uranium, NexGen Energy, and F3 Uranium. A new drilling program scheduled to begin this month could trigger a revaluation of the stock.

The focus is now on critical infrastructure – Power Metallic Mines delivers dream results, SAP and Oracle test the rebound
Every day, a flood of news hits the capital markets. The focus is on international crises, which in turn have major implications for national economies. Areas with large fossil fuel reserves are coming to the fore, and for months now, scenarios of critical metal shortages have been discussed and reassessed accordingly. High-tech and AI stocks thrive on a steady influx of computing power and are dependent on the promised expansion of the electrical infrastructure. This requires a variety of raw materials from the metal sector. Power Metallic Mines has positioned itself perfectly in the current situation with its NISK project, while Oracle and SAP are driven by their cloud and data models, which are falling out of favor due to AI. It remains to be seen whether a revival in earnings can take place in line with analysts' estimates. It is not easy to convince people, so we are analyzing the accompanying circumstances.
