Tungsten Alert: China Becomes an Importer and Almonty Shares Soar to All-Time High
Alert in the tungsten market! As demand rises for this metal, which is critical not only for defense and semiconductors, China is now becoming an importer as well. Yet China is already by far the largest producer. This is likely to pose even greater challenges for Western corporations. News from Japan and Korea points in this direction. The biggest beneficiary is Almonty Industries. With operational tungsten mines in Portugal and South Korea, and soon in the US as well, it is arguably the only major producer in the West. Analysts expect revenue and profits to surge. The stock is trading at an all-time high, but based on analysts' earnings expectations for 2027, it still does not appear to be overvalued. The chances of the rally continuing are good.

Focus on Critical Infrastructure: Power Metallic Mines Shines, Heidelberger Druck & LPKF Laser Ready to Take Off
The Strait of Hormuz is currently one of the most frequently cited geopolitical buzzwords in international media. At the same time, potential supply chain bottlenecks involving critical metals have been the subject of intense discussion for months. The valuation of high-tech and AI companies is largely based on the continuous expansion of computing capacities and the necessary electrical infrastructure. This transformation process requires enormous quantities of industrial metals and strategic raw materials. In the ongoing war scenario, however, everything is being put to the test! Against this backdrop, Power Metallic Mines is positioning itself with its NISK project in a market environment increasingly shaped by raw material security and supply chain stability. On the other hand, Heidelberger Druck and LPKF Laser are betting on an operational turnaround with different technological approaches. We analyze the relevant drivers, risks, and valuation prospects in detail.

Gold as a Safe Haven Amid Middle East Tensions: Lahontan Gold Advances with Confidence—Following in the Wake of Barrick Mining and Newmont
Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to unsettle financial markets, and gold is once again coming into focus as a proven safe haven for investors. Projects in stable mining regions such as Nevada benefit particularly from this environment, as they combine security of supply, legal certainty, and predictable production prospects. This is exactly where Lahontan Gold stands with its advanced Santa Fe project in the historic Walker-Lane Gold Belt. As already impressively demonstrated by industry giants Barrick Mining and Newmont in Nevada, Lahontan Gold is also unfolding a classic development story with significant leverage on rising gold prices. For investors, this could result in a rare combination: a growing gold developer in one of the safest mining regions in the world, with a clear path to the next major valuation surge. The stock has shown impressive strength for months, and the rally should now get another boost.

GOLD RUSH IN WEST AFRICA: HOW DESERT GOLD VENTURES, THOR EXPLORATIONS, AND ZIJIN MINING ARE BENEFITING
Due to high gold prices, West Africa is increasingly attracting investor attention as one of the world's most productive mining regions. Chinese giant Zijin Mining is doing everything in its power to catch up with the market leaders, but faces growing political hurdles. At the same time, Thor Explorations is demonstrating how to successfully establish itself as a highly efficient cash cow, while its much smaller competitor, Desert Gold Ventures, is on the verge of making the leap from explorer to producer.

Price Surge: What is Behind the Moves in D-Wave, Heidelberger, and Group Eleven?
These three stocks are currently causing a stir. Group Eleven Resources is a high-flyer in the commodities sector. The stock has surged by around 70% since the end of February. The company is currently developing a zinc, lead, and silver project in Europe. The latest update suggests the rally will continue. D-Wave has made a comeback with a price explosion of over 50%. After a price drop of around 70%, this was sorely needed. The momentum came from Nvidia, not the company itself. And what is happening at Heidelberger Druckmaschinen? After the euphoria over its entry into the drone business, a profit warning brought a dose of reality. The core business is weakening, but analysts see a buying opportunity.

The Next Commodity Shock Is Coming – Almonty Industries in the Spotlight
Amid geopolitical tensions, tungsten is emerging as one of the world’s most strategically important metals. With the highest melting point of any element, exceptional hardness, and high density, it is indispensable for military equipment, semiconductors, and future technologies such as nuclear fusion. And the situation is becoming increasingly dire. Export restrictions from China, new US laws on securing raw materials, and a structural supply gap are driving prices up massively. The APT price has already surpassed the USD 3,000 per MTU mark, and the trend is still rising. In this environment, Almonty Industries is coming into sharp focus.

Bulls Regain Control? Globex Mining, SAP, and Oracle Gain Ground
The 2026 investment year has so far turned out much better than expected. Despite all the international turmoil and several current hotspots, the S&P 500 index reached a new all-time high of 7,147 points last week. Tech stocks were back in the spotlight, while the recently sought-after commodity stocks took a hit. Critical metals, however, remain the top issue due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. China is now only exporting them in limited quantities, so many analysts already view them as a "showstopper" for economic development through 2030. What can the West do? Little in the short term, but in the long term, import dependencies must be replaced with genuine domestic deposits, many of which must also be brought into production quickly. Regulators are therefore called upon to act, even if the word "quickly" has not yet become part of the official vocabulary in Brussels. At Canada's Globex Mining, a lot is already getting underway. Tech stocks SAP and Oracle have likely finally put their lows behind them.

AMAZON, ALMONTY, AND VEOLIA ON A ROLLERCOASTER RIDE: BACK ON TRACK TO RECORD HIGHS AFTER THE CORRECTION
Fear and panic spread across the stock market in March. Even giants began to waver. But after a brief, albeit sharp, correction, the shares of the world's leading online retailer, Amazon, the commodities rebel Almonty, and the environmental pioneer Veolia are once again on the rise. A rollercoaster ride that may test your nerves, but teaches us once again: those declared dead live longer—and quality stocks often fall only to gather momentum for the next push toward their former highs.

Raw Material Demand Surges: BASF, Standard Uranium, Alcoa
Geopolitical tensions, fragile supply chains, and rising energy prices are putting the world under pressure. Governments and industries are increasingly securing access to energy and critical raw materials, from uranium and copper to rare earth elements. The race for supply security began long ago. As dependencies are reduced, producers and exploration companies are coming into the market spotlight. They provide the foundation for the energy transition, the AI boom, and industrial transformation. This is precisely where the greatest opportunities and potential winners of a new commodities cycle are emerging.

The Uranium Renaissance: Cameco, Rio Tinto, and the Hidden Gem Stallion Uranium
For several years now, the energy market has been undergoing a transformation known as the second nuclear renaissance. Driven by the rapidly rising demand for electricity for artificial intelligence (AI) and the associated data center infrastructure, as well as climate goals, nuclear power has become an indispensable pillar of the global baseload supply. According to reports from the International Energy Agency (IEA), nuclear power already reached record levels last year. But nuclear energy requires uranium as fuel. In a market environment characterized by a long-term supply gap, investors are increasingly seeing opportunities at the beginning of the value chain. While established industry giants like Cameco are operating at full capacity in the Canadian Athabasca Basin, more diversified mining groups such as Rio Tinto are once again placing greater emphasis on the strategic importance of uranium. At the same time, the exploration company Stallion Uranium is positioning itself in a promising mining region, offering investors the chance to participate in the new uranium cycle from the very beginning.
