The defense industry in an Industrial Revolution! Rheinmetall, RENK, and Almonty Industries are benefiting!
The defense industry is at the beginning of a supercycle. This will not change even if peace is achieved in Ukraine, which is hardly more likely after the recent summit. After years of limited capacity, often small-scale production, and difficult financing conditions, the industry is increasingly moving into a new dimension of industrialization. To rapidly rearm Europe, the focus is shifting toward standardized products, larger quantities, and efficiency along the value chain. RENK and Rheinmetall are already following this path. But of course, suppliers must also keep pace. The fact that more tungsten will soon be available outside China is likely to be a blessing for Western defense companies. Almonty has built a state-of-the-art new mine in South Korea. Analysts expect massive increases in revenue and profits.

Two-tier market for raw materials: BHP Group, Power Metallic Mines, BYD
The term "commodity" refers to a standardized, interchangeable product with no unique characteristics. However, this principle is beginning to falter. On the one hand, production conditions are becoming increasingly important for raw materials; on the other, in an era of conflicting power blocs, tariffs, and other trade barriers, raw materials are far from interchangeable. The further processing of raw materials also gives companies in the sector the opportunity to set themselves apart from the competition and generate unique selling points. Commodity? That was yesterday! We explain the current development using the examples of BHP Group, Power Metallic Mines, and BYD, and highlight the opportunities for investors.

Defense, tungsten, algorithms: Invest in market leaders Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, and Palantir
In a world undergoing geopolitical upheaval, three key sectors are coming into focus: modern defense technology, critical raw materials, and strategic data analysis. While defense giants are benefiting from rising military budgets, raw material pioneers are satisfying the hunger for materials in the high-tech and defense industries. At the same time, data analysis is monetizing this new complexity for both companies and government security agencies. The successful convergence of these sectors is creating unique growth opportunities. Anyone looking to invest in the defense and security sector should keep an eye on market leaders Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, and Palantir. They benefit from stability, innovative strength, and reliable growth opportunities.

China boosts gold – Now insurers are joining in: Sranan Gold, China Life, Allianz
China is moving the markets. The latest China bombshell concerns gold. Starting this year, Chinese companies are required to invest 1% of their assets in physical gold. This change underscores the Chinese authorities' view that gold is a key anchor of stability for the financial system. Considering the huge capital reserves of Chinese insurers, up to USD 27 billion could flow into the gold market. Analysts are celebrating the additional institutional demand, and companies like China Life are showing strong cooperation. But the best news is yet to come for gold investors.

100% with NATO contracts from the air! Airbus, Globex Mining, Boeing, and Lufthansa
The craziness continues! NATO member states have agreed on new planning targets for armaments and capabilities and, according to Secretary General Mark Rutte, have increased the requirements for air and missile defense by about 30%. Rutte stated: "We need more resources, troops, and capabilities to be prepared for any threat." German Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasised that Germany would provide all the necessary resources to expand the Bundeswehr into the strongest conventional army in Europe. According to experts, large-scale defense projects, particularly in the aerospace sector, will require enormous investments and far-reaching acquisitions. Across Europe, around EUR 300 billion is expected to be invested in air forces by 2030. Investors should now set the course to benefit from the flood of orders in the aerospace sector.

Gold story remains intact – Three good ideas for every portfolio: Dryden Gold, Kinross Gold, and Barrick Mining
"Gold is money. Everything else is credit" – banker JP Morgan recognized this long ago. The precious metal is currently in high demand again. ETF investors in particular, but also central banks, are betting on gold. In July, global holdings in ETFs climbed to 3,639 tons, the highest level since August 2022. Central banks have purchased around 1,000 tons of gold annually over the past three years – about twice the amount they bought per year in the previous decade. This shows that demand from both private and professional investors remains unbroken. We present three promising gold stocks and explain where even speculative investors can get their money's worth.

EXCITEMENT at RENK and Power Metallic Mines! Sell SMA Solar shares now?
Power Metallic Mines shares have risen by around 30% in recent weeks. According to the CEO, however, this is likely to be just the beginning. Operational progress in developing the world-class multi-metal project discovered last year could lead to a dynamic turn by the end of the year. Perhaps last year's 200% gain will even be repeated? RENK shares have gained over 200% in the current year alone. To ensure long-term success, the gearbox specialist aims to expand its business model and offer smaller autonomous tanks, among other things, in the future. SMA Solar shares have performed surprisingly well this year. Can the rally continue, or will the skeptical analysts ultimately be proven right?

Raw materials as the key to greater value creation: SQM, Lynas Rare Earths, Almonty Industries
Equality is a social construct. Reality, however, is diverse. This also means that some companies are in a much better starting position than others. In free markets, companies compete for market leadership and thus spur each other on to become better. However, some companies are in pole position for a variety of reasons and also have a few extra horsepower than their competitors. We use the examples of lithium specialist SQM, rare earths company Lynas Rare Earths, and innovative tungsten specialist Almonty Industries to explain which characteristics promise long-term advantages for companies and how investors can benefit.

Defense sell-off – New doublers are emerging with thyssenkrupp, Almonty, and Heidelberger Druck
What defense speculators always feared as a looming threat is now happening within just one week: Peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine! Even though nothing concrete has happened yet, the sentiment is clear: If only half of the numerous geopolitical conflicts calm down or even disappear entirely, the pressure to rearm will ease, and potential orders, which were already reflected extensively in share prices, could be reduced or canceled altogether. Public budgets resemble a pressure cooker at 120 degrees, so any relief is welcome. It will be interesting to see how far defense stocks might fall, especially after rising by up to 2000% in the case of Rheinmetall. Almonty remains interesting because, even with reduced defense demand, critical metals remain the bottleneck of Western industries. It is worth taking a closer look.

Up to 300% with raw materials and defense! Standard Lithium, DroneShield, and zinc play Pasinex!
DroneShield's stock has plummeted by around 20% in recent days. However, with a performance of over 300% in 2025, the Australian company remains one of the top performers.

The chances of a continuation are high, as important milestones are coming up and the stock remains favorable. Standard Lithium has celebrated a comeback in recent months, recovering from its brutal crash at the turn of the year. What is next?
