Will the Iran conflict fuel gold prices? Iamgold and Lahontan Gold stand to benefit! Novo Nordisk shares poised for a rebound?
Will tensions in Iran push gold to new highs? At the very least, the crisis currency is likely to see renewed demand, and with it, gold stocks. Iamgold demonstrates that industry does not necessarily rely on rising gold prices to generate strong profits. Expectations for the gold producer's quarterly figures were high. Can the 50% rally continue? Lahontan Gold is currently in a pivotal phase. Its historical resource of just under 2 million ounces is expected to increase following updated estimates. In addition, the construction of the first mine in the heart of the US gold region appears increasingly likely. This may be one of the last opportunities to accumulate the stock at an attractive price. By contrast, Novo Nordisk has lost considerable investor confidence. The shares appear inexpensive, but is another guidance cut looming? Some analysts believe the stock may have already found a bottom.

Repsol, Globex Mining, Hudbay Minerals – Escalation in the commodity markets
It had been building for weeks, and now it has become a reality. Israel, together with its ally, the United States of America, launched an attack on Iran. The mullah regime responded with counterstrikes, further escalating the situation. The markets reacted with panic. The price of gold rose by more than 3%, while oil shot up by double digits. Should the conflict widen, and with the Strait of Hormuz already closed, severe disruptions are looming, particularly in the oil market, which is likely to lead to further price explosions.

Strategic raw materials: How Power Metallic Mines and FPX Nickel secure supply chains and what is important for Mercedes-Benz
The automotive industry is at a critical turning point where the availability of strategic metals is no longer just a question of price, but a basic prerequisite for the transformation to electric mobility. Vehicle manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz are consistently aligning their production with an "electric-only strategy" and placing the upstream value chain for nickel, copper, and platinum group metals at the center of their planning. Securing these essential raw materials must be done under the strictest environmental, social, and ethical criteria in order to optimize the carbon footprint of the high-performance batteries produced and to meet the requirements of investors and regulatory authorities. In this market environment, specific solution providers from Canada are emerging, serving the rapidly growing demand for clean and transparent raw materials with fundamentally different exploration approaches.

+50% Uranium Surge? Standard Uranium Could Have Even More Upside!
The impact of AI is currently causing sharp price swings. Who stands to gain, and who is under threat? While software companies are being punished, the share prices of energy companies are skyrocketing. Among the big winners in the US are energy suppliers that rely on nuclear power. These include, for example, Constellation Energy, Vistra, and Talen Energy. But these companies also need to be supplied with uranium. It is therefore not surprising that Bank of America is bullish on the price of uranium. It expects an increase of over 50% to USD 135 per pound in the current year alone. With Standard Uranium, investors could benefit from this megatrend.

Entering the commodity supercycle with Rio Tinto, Power Metallic Mines, and Glencore: Three stocks for the portfolio
The world's hunger for commodities has changed fundamentally. What was long considered purely a narrative of energy transition is turning out to be a technological tsunami that is devouring metals on an unprecedented scale. As markets move away from their old dependence on individual commodities, a new ecosystem is emerging in which companies with diversified production portfolios are becoming the decisive players. There are growing signs that 2026 will be the year of differentiation – favoring those companies that are positioned along the entire value chain. We take a closer look at industry giants such as Rio Tinto, the promising explorer Power Metallic Mines, and the commodity trader Glencore in this new environment.

New Momentum for Gold & Silver, SAP, Nvidia and PayPal – Is Lahontan Gold on the Path to Becoming a Cash Generator?
The volatility in the precious metals sector is due to a number of factors, all of which are contributing to higher prices. Over the past three weeks, banks were briefly able to catch their breath with silver prices hovering around USD 75. However, since the unrest in Mexico began, the market has been sensing a new shortage, this time politically induced. Gold can benefit from this scenario, having just reached a new all-time high of USD 5,600 in January. Following this strong rally, a textbook consolidation down to USD 4,850 took place. Yesterday, the USD 5,200 level was seen again, and technical analysts consider temporary spikes toward USD 7,500 a possible overshooting target. Investment banks have also significantly raised their estimates, with Goldman Sachs at USD 5,400, Deutsche Bank and Société Générale at USD 6,000, and JPMorgan at USD 6,500. Although they have been able to predict the gold market well in recent years, they still see room for improvement with the current "de-dollarization." At the same time, overheated tech stocks appear to be in need of further correction. For investors, this is a time for profitable reallocations.

Western antimony axis ensures returns: How Antimony Resources, US Antimony, and Hensoldt are securing defense capabilities
In the current tense geopolitical environment, securing global supply chains for critical minerals has become a matter of national security. Antimony is now at the heart of modern defense technology. With China's dominance in this area remaining unchallenged for decades and the country imposing far-reaching export restrictions, urgent action is needed. The West, led by the US and Canada, is currently building a self-sufficient supply chain, as analysts at the Boston Consulting Group emphasize in their publication on ecosystems in the supply chain for critical minerals. This chain extends from exploration in Canada to industrial scaling in the US to the final production of sensor systems in Europe and other industrialized countries. Antimony Resources, the United States Antimony Corporation, and Hensoldt play a critical role in Western defense. Consulting firms such as PwC have pointed out in their outlook for the current year that massive sums are flowing into the defense sector in North America to secure raw material sovereignty. We explain where the greatest opportunities for investors lie.

Tungsten Prices Surge as Media Attention Grows: Handelsblatt and Fox Business Report - Almonty Industries in focus
A revaluation is currently underway in parts of the commodities sector. Tungsten has outperformed rare earths, silver, and gold in recent months, with prices nearly doubling since the beginning of 2026. This critical commodity is being discovered not only by a growing number of investors, but also by the media. Most recently, Handelsblatt and Fox Business have reported on it. Lewis Black is always part of the conversation. The CEO of Almonty Industries is currently a man in demand – by governments, companies, investors, and the media. On the one hand, Almonty is the only serious Western producer of this strategically important material used in defense, electronics, aerospace, and many other industries. On the other hand, Black presents market developments in a highly convincing manner. According to him, prices are unlikely to decline significantly.

Nuclear comeback offers opportunities: Standard Uranium, Cameco, and Denison Mines dominate the Athabasca Basin
As the world experiences a return to nuclear power, Canada's Athabasca Basin in the province of Saskatchewan is becoming more than ever the strategic heart of global uranium supply. Reports from the International Energy Agency (IEA) officially herald the "age of electrification," in which nuclear energy is transforming from a transitional solution to an indispensable pillar—thanks to climate neutrality. This development is driven by the growing energy demands of artificial intelligence and modern IT infrastructure. Studies by McKinsey and the IEA consistently show that the electricity demand of global data centers is expected to triple by 2030. In view of these fundamental market dynamics, analysts at the World Nuclear Association (WNA) have set the ambitious goal of significantly expanding global nuclear capacity over the next 25 years. In this environment, Standard Uranium is positioning itself as one of the most active and precise explorers, using technologically advanced methods to identify undiscovered corridors in the shadows of industry giants. The company operates in close proximity to the big players and offers investors maximum leverage on the price of uranium in the safest and richest uranium region in the world.
