Gold and defense stocks are currently unstoppable. The gold price is now well above the USD 2,800 mark.

While Rheinmetall is trading at an all-time high, Renk seems to be leaving the downward trend behind and finally catching up. Hensoldt's performance is clearly being surpassed. Will the momentum continue?

Puma, Nordex, and Power Nickel - Potential for a price jump? Analysts see opportunities in these stocks
Power Nickel's shares were among the commodity high flyers of 2024. The upward trend appears to be continuing in the new year. Power Nickel's high-grade Nisk project is increasingly turning into a gold mine with numerous valuable metals. To increase its value further, it will continue to drill and spin off non-core activities. Will analysts soon be raising their price targets? Puma shareholders have been waiting in vain for a price jump for quite some time. The sporting goods company is caught in a margin trap. The target prices are widely divergent. After difficult years, Nordex is actually doing well. But the US is becoming more and more of a concern. And now there is also a headwind in Germany.

Siemens Energy, European Lithium, BYD – Lithium: short-term pressure, long-term opportunities
Even though the lithium price is at rock bottom, many indicators are signalling a long-term recovery of the lithium market. Demand for lithium-ion batteries is being fueled by the increased use of electric vehicles and the expansion of renewable energies. At the same time, producers are already reacting with project delays and mine closures, which could create short-term supply bottlenecks. Given that the EU sources 79% of its lithium from China, a possible trade war should prompt the EU to seek alternatives. Analysts expect a stabilization by 2026 at the latest as the energy transition is progressing. Those who believe in the further electrification of the world should invest now, as the long-term prospects are promising.

Deutsche Bank, Globex Mining, Rheinmetall – High-flying stocks for good reason
Amid geopolitical tensions, the looming trade war, and interest rate cuts by the ECB, there are still stocks that are not deterred by all the challenges and continue to rise. These high-flyers have either structured their business well or are taking advantage of megatrends such as commodities, which could be at the beginning of a supercycle, or the supply of defense equipment, which is in high demand given the tensions in the world. Investors who identify emerging trends early can make a lot of money, but those who enter the market later can still profit. The prerequisite for this is always a look at the fundamentals.

+300% Price Target, Major Order, and Bill Gates: RHEINMETALL, D-WAVE, ALMONTY INDUSTRIES
These stocks are successfully resisting the crash in tariffs and should continue to march even if the situation escalates: analysts see a revaluation and over 300% upside potential for Almonty Industries. The Company, with a 2026 P/E ratio of 6.3, is well on its way to becoming a major global commodity player. The massive tungsten mine in South Korea is set to open this year. The latest sensation is the sale of decades' worth of molybdenum production to a SpaceX supplier. Analysts are also still enthusiastic about Rheinmetall. The share price is rising almost even faster than the price targets, and the latest major order shows that it can continue. And how is high-flyer D-Wave doing? The specialist in quantum computing is also unlikely to be affected by tariff struggles and is getting a tailwind from Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

OPPORTUNITIES in the Tariff Crash: TUI Facing a 50% Price Surge? Valneva Stock Strong! Multiplier with Desert Gold?
CAD 10 per ounce of gold. This is the current valuation of Desert Gold's resource - a real bargain with a gold price of over USD 2,800. There are good reasons why Desert Gold's share price should rise soon. Analysts even consider a multiplication of its value to be possible. Last week, Valneva showed just how quickly a stock can suddenly jump by 20% or more. Thanks to a multi-million dollar order from the US military, the downward trend in the share price has been broken. Are further price gains possible? Experts at TUI believe a 50% price jump is achievable. But is optimism ahead? Do these stocks offer opportunities in the tariff crash?

RWE, Nova Pacific Metals, Alibaba - How wind power, raw materials, and AI will shape the future
The energy transition and technological progress are shaping the global economic landscape in the first quarter. The German energy company RWE is investing in an innovative offshore wind farm control center on the German North Sea coast that will control the growing fleet of wind turbines from 2026. Renewable energies consume a lot of copper in their construction, bringing the explorer Nova Pacific Metals into focus. The Canadian company is preparing to start drilling at its strategically important Lara VMS project with a high copper content on Vancouver Island. The timing is ideal, as global demand for copper will increase to 50 million tons by 2035 – driven by energy transition projects like those of RWE, where a modern wind turbine alone requires 30 tons of copper. With secured financing of CAD 2.86 million and experienced expertise in the team, the chances for the drilling and further measures are excellent. The Chinese retail giant Alibaba is duly recognized as a global technology leader by the US Fortune Magazine and is ranked 3rd in the Internet Services and Retail category. What the publishers considered particularly important has to do with an AI highlight...

Siemens Energy, XXIX Metal, Volkswagen – Is the energy transition in danger due to US tariffs?
The euro is falling, mainly due to the recent interest rate cut by the ECB. This puts the interest rate difference at around 1.5%. At the same time, a trade war is looming due to the new US tariff policy. After America raised tariffs on imports from Canada to 25% and on energy to 10%, Justin Trudeau, in turn, raised tariffs by 25%. In addition, measures in the raw materials and energy sectors are being considered. For example, refineries may no longer process US oil. The Canadians supply 85% of their copper to the US. If supplies were to be stopped, this would potentially drive up copper prices and, at the same time, jeopardize the energy transition.

Apple, First Nordic Metals, Barrick Gold - Technology sector meets commodity markets in transition
The global economy is showing its dynamic side at the beginning of 2025. Apple presents strong quarterly figures with record revenue of USD 124.3 billion. The Services division, in particular, stands out with a growth of 14% to USD 26.34 billion. First Nordic Metals Corporation offers high gold exploration potential thanks to its properties in the Scandinavian countries of Sweden and Finland. In Mali, West Africa, on the other hand, the leading gold producer, Barrick Gold, is facing further difficulties with the Malian government. This geopolitical development highlights the shift towards raw material projects in politically stable regions, which also offer a significant tax advantage.
