The FIFA World Cup has just come to an end, and the roadmap for future tournaments is already in place. The most forward-looking executives are now turning their attention to the host nation of the 2034 FIFA World Cup: Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom is not only awash in cash—it is also opening up more and more and strategically channeling its vast oil wealth into new industries. Three companies that stand to benefit particularly from this transformation are Canadian resource explorer Power Metallic Mines, the US jet engine manufacturer GE Aerospace, and the logistics giant DHL Group, still affectionately known to many investors as the former Deutsche Post. At the same time, all three companies are positioned at the center of major long-term trends, including rising military spending, secure supply chains, electric mobility, and the continued growth of e-commerce.

The renewed escalation in the Middle East is having an immediate ripple effect on the oil and gas markets.

Those who correctly interpret the various business models can profit more than average from the current market movement.

The past trading week, from July 13 to 17, 2026, was marked by strong quarterly results from major US banks, rising oil prices, and growing nervousness in the stock markets. While the S&P 500 lost about 1.2% and the Nasdaq fell 3%, several bank stocks managed to outperform the weak broader market. This week, investors are likely to focus once again on oil prices, as the US military campaign in Iran and Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil refineries continue to tighten energy markets. Higher oil prices increase costs across the entire value chain, raising the prospect of stronger inflationary pressures in the months ahead. Read on to find out who is still profiting in this environment.

Gold, oil, and Bitcoin are all consolidating after strong rallies. But it is precisely these kinds of corrections that have often opened up the most attractive entry opportunities in the past.

Benefit from the scarcity of energy and raw materials through Occidental Petroleum, Globex Mining, and MP Materials

  • Mining
  • Commodities
  • Energy
  • Oil

The days of speculating on commodity prices are over. Anyone betting on energy and metals today must understand the underlying power dynamics. Who is supplying, who is processing, and who still has access to the key production sites in an era of bloc formation and sanctions? Demand for strategic goods is skyrocketing, while investment in new mines and refineries has stagnated for years. This gap between political will and physical production limits opens up a new playing field for investors. Three completely different business models demonstrate how to capitalize on this trend: Occidental Petroleum, Globex Mining, and MP Materials.

The Methane Puzzle: Are Zefiro Methane, BP, and Siemens Energy Entering the Next Growth Phase?

For many years, the energy transition was viewed in simple terms: phase out fossil fuels and replace them with wind and solar power. The reality, however, has proven to be far more complex. As electricity demand surges, driven by data centers, artificial intelligence, and the ongoing electrification of the economy, natural gas is increasingly being recognized worldwide as an indispensable transition fuel. At the same time, political and economic pressure is mounting to drastically reduce climate-damaging methane emissions along the entire value chain. This is where Zefiro Methane is carving out its niche. By plugging abandoned oil and gas wells across the United States, many of which continue to release significant amounts of methane into the atmosphere, the company is addressing a multi-billion-dollar market.

The Perfect Storm: Wars Are Driving Energy Stocks Like Occidental Petroleum, American Atomics, and First Solar

The war in the Persian Gulf is escalating again. There appears to be no chance of a peaceful resolution between the warring parties at this time. Meanwhile, refineries in Russia are burning, which is also jeopardizing diesel supply in Germany. Prices for oil, gas, and other energy commodities are rising again. The markets have reacted swiftly, driving up shares in the energy sector. One thing is clear: a precarious situation is unfolding, especially as oil reserves are dwindling even in the US, despite record-high production there. However, the high prices also encourage us to look beyond the oil market. The comeback of nuclear energy and the continued rise of solar power offer opportunities. That is why we are taking a look today at the stocks of Occidental Petroleum, American Atomics, and First Solar.

Between the Oil Price Rally and Climate Billions: How Shell, Eni, and Zefiro Methane Are Profiting

  • Oil
  • climatechange

The escalating conflict between the US and Iran is driving oil prices sharply higher—and with them, the share prices of energy companies like Shell and Eni. For their shareholders, that is the good news. The bad news: ironically, the very oil multinationals currently profiting from the crisis are viewed by the public as greedy climate offenders. To polish up their image, they are among the largest buyers of voluntary CO₂ credits. Many of these, however, are of dubious quality. Anyone looking for a solution to this problem almost inevitably ends up at Zefiro Methane, a largely undiscovered small-cap stock from Canada. The company addresses precisely the issues where Shell and Eni are struggling the most.

Oil, Gold, or Bitcoin? Is Now the Right Time to Invest in Shell, Kobo Resources, and Strategy?

An oil price that fluctuates wildly due to geopolitical risks and economic concerns, a gold price that has recently consolidated after hitting new record highs and is hailed as a safe haven, and a Bitcoin that is undergoing a sobering correction after spectacular surges. While some are betting on the stability of the precious metal, others sense a major opportunity in the volatile crypto market. Investors are spoiled for choice. But the real art lies not in choosing a single asset class, but in combining them wisely. So today, we take a look at one company from each sector: Shell, Kobo Resources, and Strategy.
