Space Hype, Raw Material Shortages, and the Chip Boom: A Look at OHB, Strategic Resources, and Infineon
On June 12, Elon Musk aims to make history. With SpaceX, the largest IPO of all time is imminent. Other space stocks are already benefiting from the hype surrounding the Falcon rockets and Dragon spacecraft from California. This is one reason why OHB is currently the top performer on the German stock market. War, expensive energy, and raw materials at the center of geopolitics make Strategic Resources an interesting play. The Canadians are on the verge of their next major step. And last but not least, it is worth taking a look at Infineon's stock. The German chip king has achieved something almost historic in recent weeks! And thanks to AI, operations are going brilliantly too!

Strategy, Almonty Industries, Take-Two Interactive – Gaming, Bitcoin, and Commodities on the Verge of the Next Wave
Gaming, commodities, and cryptocurrencies are currently emerging as three of the most exciting growth sectors in the financial markets. While the gaming industry is heading toward its next billion-dollar blockbuster, geopolitical tensions and AI infrastructure are driving a boom in demand for strategic metals. At the same time, large-scale institutional purchases are massively exacerbating supply shortages in the crypto market. The combination of digital entertainment, commodity security, and the Bitcoin surge could open up extraordinary opportunities for investors in the coming years.

Gold: Are the doves of peace driving up the price? Agnico Eagle, Desert Gold, and B2Gold in the spotlight!
It appears that hostilities in the Gulf are indeed coming to an end. The US and Iran are reportedly negotiating a peace treaty, according to widespread US media reports. This could soon mark the end of a consolidation phase for the gold price. During the conflict, the price fluctuated within a wide range as concerns over rising interest rates weighed on it. Now, investors have the opportunity to enter the gold stock market at low levels. We are therefore taking a closer look at the shares of Agnico Eagle, Desert Gold, and B2Gold.

Lahontan Gold – Gold Rally Puts This Explorer in a Strong Position
The gold price is consolidating following its historic rally, but an increasing number of experts see it as merely a breather before the next rise. Central banks worldwide are buying more gold than they have in years, geopolitical tensions are rising, and confidence in the US dollar is slowly eroding. Goldman Sachs believes a gold price of USD 5,400 per ounce is possible by the end of 2026. Developers like Lahontan Gold, which have significant exposure to rising precious metal prices, could benefit particularly from this. The company is working at full speed to revive its historic Santa Fe Mine in Nevada. It has recently made a series of operational advances that could create the potential for a significant revaluation.

M&A Fever in West Africa: Dwindling Reserves Drive Perseus Mining and Barrick Mining – Kobo Resources Gains Momentum
Despite short-term corrections, the gold price remains elevated, leading to consolidation in the West African Gold Belt. Major mining companies are under pressure due to dwindling raw material reserves, rising operating costs, and political friction in traditional jurisdictions. The need to profitably utilize existing infrastructure, such as processing plants, and to extend the life of mines is forcing established players to make changes. In this phase, companies are increasingly seeking high-grade projects for acquisitions to secure their production and withstand growing pressure from well-capitalized Asian competitors.

Rheinmetall, Antimony Resources, and RENK Group: Your Gateway to the Defence Boom and Its Lucrative Supply Chain
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
Billions are flowing into Europe's defence sector—but behind the impressive order books lies a risk: the shortage of critical raw materials. While tanks and transmission systems are the obvious winners of the rearmament wave, the invisible foundation of many defence technologies is coming under increasing pressure. A strategic metal whose supply chains are dominated by China could become the Achilles' heel of the entire industry. From the established defence conglomerate Rheinmetall to the raw materials explorer Antimony Resources and the specialized drivetrain manufacturer RENK Group, they all have one thing in common: they are benefiting from the defence boom.

Tungsten Crisis and Only One Solution: Supply Chains of SpaceX and Sandvik Under Pressure – Almonty Industries Perfectly Positioned
An unprecedented price shock, no meaningful new supply in sight, and continued Chinese export restrictions are forcing Western industry to act in the tungsten market. This year, the price of ammonium paratungstate exploded from USD 920 per metric ton unit (MTU) at the Rotterdam trading hub to well over USD 3,000. With China controlling nearly 80% of global production and the United States set to implement a strict procurement ban on Chinese tungsten for the defence sector starting in 2027, the risk of a serious supply bottleneck is growing. From traditional metal-processing industries and semiconductor manufacturing to aerospace applications, corporations depend on stable supply chains for this essential and virtually irreplaceable metal. In this unique market environment, the US-focused mining company Almonty Industries is building a new, geopolitically independent raw materials empire. The odds are in its favour: Almonty is currently the only producer meaningfully expanding tungsten production capacity.

Defence Stocks in a Race Against Time: Are Rheinmetall, Strategic Resources, CSG, and RENK Still a Buy?
The bull run in defence and military stocks lasted nearly four years. At their peak, some stocks were valued at 10 times revenue, with P/E ratios reaching 100. Currently, however, a shift in thinking is taking place, as the contracting nations are heavily indebted and cannot simply keep increasing their defence budgets after the generous adjustments they have already made. This partly explains the recent dip in the sector's stock prices. Yet the stock market is playing out this theme across multiple channels. Defence stocks benefit in the long term from higher government spending, while commodity markets—particularly for steel, copper, aluminum, nickel, titanium, tungsten, and specialty chemicals—must respond to the higher underlying demand. At the same time, fiscal burdens are rising, so capital markets as a whole must distinguish between security-related demand and growing budget risks. The underlying trend is that inflation is rising due to money supply expansion, with necessary interest rate hikes as a further consequence. How should investors reconcile these trends?

Roadmap to Production Is Set: Those Who Ignore Lahontan Gold Now May Regret It Later
The Canadian company Lahontan Gold is steadily advancing from explorer to mine developer in Nevada. Financing is secured, drilling is underway, and the roadmap is clearly defined. Those taking a closer look now can see a pattern of disciplined execution and tangible progress. This is not a speculative bet on a geological miracle, but rather the implementation of a concrete and well-structured plan. The coming months could demonstrate that a historic mining district can indeed be transformed into a new gold producer.

Running on Empty? Chaos Around Strategic Metals Drives Prices Higher– Power Metallic in Focus for BYD and Volkswagen
At USD 14,090, the price of copper reached a new all-time high in May. The demand slump predicted at the start of the year has apparently vanished into thin air. Instead, international commodity institutes are falling over themselves with forecasts of a projected shortfall over the next five years. The much-discussed copper shortage stems primarily from structurally rising demand driven by electrification, grid expansion, and data centers, while new mining projects are only coming online with delays and declining ore grades. Institutions such as the International Energy Agency (IEA), S&P Global, and CRU Group consistently anticipate growing supply deficits over the coming decade in their scenarios. The IEA, in particular, identifies potential supply gaps of several million tons by 2035 in its "Critical Minerals" analyses, depending on the pace of the energy transition. The crux of the matter is that even with high prices, mine development requires a lead time of 10 to 15 years, while existing deposits are simultaneously declining in quality. This poses a challenge for the market and investors!
