Critical raw materials are becoming scarce! Silver makes a new attempt to reach USD 100 - Silver North, Nordex, and Siemens Energy in focus
January brought the situation surrounding critical metals to a head. Copper, tungsten, and palladium reached new highs, and precious metals were also in high demand. Experts suspect significant distortions in derivatives, which led to astonishing increases in the value of silver and gold. Although silver is systematically classified as a precious metal, it has blossomed into a sought-after industrial metal over the past 10 years. Its extremely good electrical properties, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance make it irreplaceable in high-tech and defense applications. Silver has long been used in the field of alternative energies, with demand exceeding supply by a factor of 1.5. And then there are the speculators, who also want a piece of the pie. This means that all eyes are clearly focused on the sky. What portfolio changes make sense?

Turnaround after the sharp correction? Silver price target USD 100 with Silver Viper, SAP, and Deutsche Telekom
Fallen hard and then left on the ground for a while - that describes the silver price, which surged like a rocket from USD 50 to USD 122 over the past three months, only to collapse to USD 72 in a single day. That represents a 40% drop, with more than 500 million ounces in derivative-equivalent volume traded. For context: annual global silver production has been around 800 million ounces for several years, and no meaningful short-term increases are expected. Now, however, the March delivery period is drawing closer, when approximately 1.5 billion ounces of physical silver will have to be delivered. The key question is: who actually has these quantities? The warehouses of the futures exchanges have been severely depleted in recent months by the exercises of ETFs, processors, and investors, and new goods on the world markets are being meticulously absorbed by high-tech producers. It will be fascinating to see how, and with which measures, exchanges attempt to navigate their delivery obligations. Against this backdrop, we take a look at the up-and-coming silver company Silver Viper and two representatives of the German DAX high-tech group, SAP and Deutsche Telekom. In a highly volatile market environment, they offer a welcome opportunity for portfolio diversification.

These companies have the perfect growth formula: Silver North Resources, Barrick Mining, and ASTA Energy Solutions!
Favorable conditions and strong balance sheets provide the foundation for share price gains. This formula applies to all three companies mentioned. With its recent IPO and fresh funds, ASTA Energy Solutions can benefit significantly from the megatrend of the energy transition. High gold prices are filling Barrick's coffers, and the spin-off of its North American gold assets will provide an additional return lever. Well-financed Canadian explorer Silver North Resources is making strong progress. High-grade silver properties in Canada are being developed at a rapid pace, creating added value for shareholders. The high silver price provides additional support – a simple equation.

The bomb has dropped! Gold from 5,600 to 4,600 and now back again? Crazy times with Barrick Mining, DRC Gold, and Strategy
BANG! Investors could not react fast enough as gold and silver prices plunged last Friday. There were many explanations for this sell-off: derivative positions of major banks, which had really hurt during the steep upward trend of recent weeks. Then a few speculators jumped in, hoping to grab a slice of the pie. And finally, a dash of panic. Silver collapsed by a full 40% from USD 122 to USD 72, while gold corrected by around USD 1,000, or 20%, down to USD 4,600. At the start of the week, a slight stabilization is now visible, but volatility remains. The environment is still fragile. Gold stocks like Barrick Mining and DRC Gold are feeling the impact. Looking beyond the metals to Bitcoin, one loser comes into focus: Strategy, Michael Saylor's BTC asset management company. How will the mess continue?

SILVER CRASH - From USD 122 to USD 72! Time to sharpen your knives with TKMS, CSG, Silver Viper, and thyssenkrupp
The explosive rise in the price of silver, which rose almost in a straight line from around USD 35 to USD 122 by the end of last week, is now taking its speculative toll. The precious metal has soared by more than 300% within 14 months, accompanied by widespread rumors of huge short positions and extreme problems for the futures exchanges in terms of material supply. The fact remains that silver has been used for several years across various high-tech industries, from wind power and e-mobility to state-of-the-art defense technology. Manufacturers are also said to have been spotted on the market making large cover purchases due to impending physical shortages. Industry sources report a possible deficit of over 1 billion ounces in the March settlement – equivalent to around 125% of total annual production. In addition to the exciting silver explorer Silver Viper, we also analyze thyssenkrupp, its subsidiary TKMS, and the newcomer to the stock market, CSG. It is worth reading on.

Crash as a reality check for AMD and First Majestic: Why silver and AI are correcting while Almonty stands firm on rising tungsten prices
Market sentiment has shifted sharply in recent weeks: what began as profit-taking has developed into a real stress test for investors' nerves. The sectors most celebrated in recent months – AI stocks and precious metals – have taken a beating. Yet amid this turmoil, one phenomenon is emerging that should make investors sit up and take notice: the tungsten market is completely decoupled from the crash and, seemingly immune to Wall Street panic, is hitting new highs. Tungsten, the indispensable backbone of Western defense and heavy industry, is becoming more expensive while almost everything else is falling. In this environment, Almonty Industries is emerging as a quasi-monopolist with excellent prospects to deliver long-term gains for its shareholders.

Taking advantage of the crash: How Newmont, Silver Viper Minerals, and First Majestic Silver are poised for the silver boom
The sharp sell-off in precious metals on January 30 caught many investors off guard. Silver fell by as much as 34%, while gold declined by a more moderate 12%. This abrupt correction has unsettled markets, yet it may also be obscuring a significant opportunity. A structural supply deficit in silver is meeting with exploding demand from industry and technology. This imbalance forms the basis for a potentially powerful next phase in the silver cycle. Three companies appear particularly well-positioned to benefit from this dynamic: Newmont, Silver Viper Minerals, and First Majestic Silver. We take a closer look at their strategies.

Puma takeover is becoming more concrete! Should investors buy Evotec and Silver Viper shares next?
Takeover speculation has been swirling around Puma for some time. Now it has become more tangible: Anta has secured a 29% stake in the German sporting goods group, paying EUR 35 per share. However, the euphoria on the stock market is limited. Are there better opportunities for investors to profit from takeover speculation? One candidate in the hot silver market is Silver Viper. The Company is pushing ahead with exciting projects in Mexico. Its recent capital increase met with strong demand, and a financially powerful potential buyer already has a foot in the door. And what about Evotec? The perennial takeover candidate is still not gaining momentum. That said, the biotech company is benefiting from the sale of one of its own holdings, which is expected to bring in around USD 160 million.

Silver Viper Minerals – The perfect combination of a silver boom, exploration potential, and takeover speculation
All eyes are on silver. Recently, the price per troy ounce almost reached the USD 120 mark. Even though short-term speculation is on the rise, one thing is certain: the silver market is experiencing a sustained and structural supply deficit. All in all, these are favorable conditions for existing and prospective producers. Mexico is the global leader in silver production and is dynamically developing new deposits. Investors can benefit from this situation with Silver Viper Minerals shares. Under the leadership of an experienced management team with a strong track record, the Company is developing large, high-quality silver properties in the Central American country. Further progress is also fueling takeover speculation.

Silver soon at USD 200? Buying at elevated levels or seizing opportunities with CSG, American Atomics, and Carl Zeiss Jena
After a nervous start to the year, commodities and energy issues are once again firmly in focus on global capital markets. Recent discussions around trade tariffs and geopolitical dependencies, topics that also dominated the World Economic Forum in Davos, have triggered pronounced volatility. At the same time, heightened volatility is opening up attractive opportunities for investors. Whether silver, copper, nickel, lithium, or uranium, these metals are essential for industry, the energy transition, and electromobility. Their growing strategic importance is driving up prices and increasingly acting as an inflationary force in Western economies. The underlying factors include disrupted supply chains, export-policy uncertainties, and a tight structural supply deficit. In China, for example, solar module manufacturers are reportedly beginning to stockpile silver, as physical material is becoming increasingly difficult to source. As a result, the price of silver has multiplied within just one year, and physical demand now significantly exceeds global annual production. Investors should take note.
