Weathering the Geopolitical Storm: Silver Viper, Deutsche Telekom, and TeamViewer in Focus
Close – Open – Close – Open! Most investors know this pattern all too well by now. Last week, US President Donald Trump loudly claimed control over the Strait of Hormuz. However, Iran does not appear to be going along with this. As of yesterday, Sunday, the strait was closed again, with threats even made to sink passing ships. The situation between Tehran and Washington remains highly volatile. Despite negotiated ceasefires, the mood remains extremely tense. The capital markets have to make sense of it all, but that is no easy task. Nevertheless, there are notable price movements that are worth a closer look.

ASML, Group Eleven Resources, Aixtron – Europe with Game-Changing Potential
Europe is emerging as the epicenter of a new commodities and technology boom. While a near-monopolist with record margins is driving the global chip industry and reaping the benefits of exploding AI demand, a potential game-changer in the commodities sector is taking shape on the continent. High-grade polymetallic deposits, combined with a strategic location and low costs, could significantly reduce dependence on imports. Massive investments and expanded drilling programs are accelerating the development toward a potential key role in European supply. At the same time, optimistic forecasts in the semiconductor sector are providing additional momentum. Europe could thus benefit twice over, both technologically and in terms of raw materials.

Gold at USD 4,800 – Largely Overlooked and Gaining Momentum: Desert Gold Set for First Production in 2026
After a dream rally over the past 12 months, the gold price paused just below the USD 5,000 mark. The reason: between 2025 and January of this year, the precious metal surged by 130% to USD 5,400. Supply constraints and imbalances in derivatives markets, particularly in silver, pushed prices for physical metal sharply higher. Most gold producers and advanced explorers saw revaluations of up to 500%. Desert Gold also doubled in value during this period; however, the market has so far largely overlooked the company's strong positioning to begin production in 2026. The German research firm GBC has set a price target of CAD 0.93, which implies substantial upside from the current level of around CAD 0.14. Investors should keep in mind that gold investments have historically served as a hedge against geopolitical uncertainty. They can help stabilize portfolio returns and preserve purchasing power over the long term. A closer look is warranted.

The Antimony Crisis: Antimony Resources at the Heart of Western Supply Security – How Lockheed Martin and Rio Tinto Are Responding
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
Shiny, silvery antimony has become a central element of the Western security architecture. China's export restrictions, which culminated in a targeted export ban on the US in 2024, forced Western supply chains to realign. Securing domestic supplies has thus become imperative, overshadowing short-term cost considerations. While defense giants like Lockheed Martin are desperately searching for reliable sources to maintain production of modern defense systems and mining companies like Rio Tinto are investing in processing capacity, specialized antimony companies are coming into focus. Antimony Resources is advancing the development of the Bald Hill project in New Brunswick, which is considered one of the most significant future antimony sources in North America. The company offers investors direct access to a market where small companies are becoming indispensable partners to industry, presenting significant opportunities for investors.

Tungsten in Focus: Almonty's Strategic Position and the Battle for Western Resource Sovereignty – Implications for SpaceX and Sandvik
Wars and the shifting of power blocs are driving major changes across many industries. Technological breakthroughs and visionary ideas are already beginning to take shape. In this context, the element tungsten is becoming increasingly important. With the highest melting point of any metal at 3,422 °C, a density nearly equal to that of gold, and exceptional hardness, this material is largely irreplaceable in metalworking, the defense industry, semiconductor manufacturing, and, more recently, nuclear fusion. For a long time, the global market for tungsten was dominated by China, which controlled over 80% of mine production and nearly 70% of processing capacity. But this era ended abruptly when the Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced strict export controls on 25 strategic metals, including tungsten, in February of last year. At the same time, the so-called REEShore Act came into effect in the US, strictly prohibiting the use of Chinese tungsten in military equipment starting in 2027. In its report "Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2025," the International Energy Agency (IEA) rightly emphasizes that it is crucial to closely monitor such concentrated supply chains for the sake of global security and defense capabilities.

Almonty Industries: Strategic Reassessment Opens Up Further Upside Potential
It is a good thing when a company has what many others want. This is particularly true for Almonty Industries. The US-based company produces the critical raw material tungsten, which is in high demand and irreplaceable across many industries due to its unique properties, such as extreme heat resistance and the ability to withstand enormous pressure. Demand is rising enormously, particularly in the defense industry. Almonty is set to become the largest tungsten producer outside of China in the foreseeable future. Its main production site in Sangdong, South Korea, was designed to generate high margins even in a low-price environment of USD 350 per metric ton unit (MTU). The price currently stands at USD 3,000 per MTU. Analysts are factoring in only a fraction of that. Given the fundamentally changed market conditions, a revaluation of the stock will begin, taking into account the new reality and the company's geopolitical significance.

Lahontan Gold Debunks Industry Myths and Advances Toward Gold Production with Limited Dilution
Most gold developers on the TSX Venture Exchange follow a dismal pattern: lots of talk, little substance, and endless dilution. Things are different at Lahontan Gold. It is not a greenfield project, but a historic mine with water, electricity, and a clear path forward. While others dream of striking it rich, this team has validated old drill data, closed a financing round, and set the stage for gold production. We look at three myths around exploration companies and why this company debunks them all.

Massively Undervalued Gold Stock? Desert Gold Launches a 500% Rally!
As gold completes its correction and attention turns to reclaiming the USD 5,000 mark, one gold stock is already taking off in a big way. Analysts even consider a rally of more than 500% possible. That is because Desert Gold plans to produce gold for the first time this summer. Yet the company is still valued at less than EUR 25 million - something analysts consider far too low. In addition to starting production, the company is working on expanding its resource. There is also takeover speculation.

BP, Globex Mining, Rio Tinto: The Winners of the 2026 Commodities Boom
The global commodities landscape is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Oil remains important, but the strategic focus is shifting toward the metals and minerals that make technological transformation possible in the first place. Artificial intelligence, robotics, and electrification are driving demand for copper, rare earths, and specialty materials—paradoxically, the more efficient production becomes, the greater the demand. Markets are already responding with rising volatility. Anyone looking to invest today must understand these drivers. A look at BP, Globex Mining, and Rio Tinto shows just how varied the responses can be.
