NATO under pressure – Is silver the new gold? Dream returns with Silver North, fresh momentum for Rheinmetall and TKMS
Geopolitical upheavals are exposing deep rifts of trust between the superpowers. The US approach toward Greenland is reminiscent of long-outdated colonial practices and has alienated the political actors involved. As a result of this blunt conduct on the international stage, trust in political institutions is eroding, and long-standing alliance structures are beginning to fall apart. The wobbling of the transatlantic alliance, NATO, marks a new level of tension and escalation. What this means for the capital markets in the short term remains unclear. However, what is already evident is the almost daily appreciation of gold and silver, along with another surge in valuations of defense stocks. A scenario of rising interest rates is also looming on the horizon. None of this is good news, and investors would be well advised to examine their portfolio structures for weaknesses. Here are a few ideas.

ATTENTION - The next 100% opportunity could be here: Almonty, RENK, TKMS, and Infineon
Shares related to artificial intelligence continue to be a major focus in the market, even though the initial euphoria has subsided somewhat recently. Critical voices are increasingly warning of setbacks or even a significant correction. Among these skeptics is the well-known investor Michael Burry, who is said to have bet on falling prices for Nvidia and other industry peers. At the same time, shares linked to critical metals and their industrial end users have once again moved into the spotlight since the turn of the year. This is because tech specialists and AI infrastructure providers are under pressure to meet extremely high requirements in terms of energy supply, computing capacity, speed, and reliability. As a result, further opportunities are emerging for selected stocks. We highlight a few of these potential plays.

HYDROGEN STOCK with 10x POTENTIAL! Nel ASA, thyssenkrupp, and dynaCERT are starting the new year in different ways
Hydrogen stocks have had a challenging year. However, analysts see the potential for 10x growth in the new year, specifically, for the cleantech company dynaCERT. Operational tailwinds are coming from market entry in Mexico and sales successes in Europe. Successes in Asia are expected to follow in 2026. The decisive factor for 2026 will be whether dynaCERT makes progress in terms of order volume, capacity utilization, and recurring revenues. With its retrofit solution, dynaCERT is setting itself apart from large plant manufacturers such as thyssenkrupp nucera and Nel ASA. Analysts praise the former for its efficient structures and full coffers. The other is aggressive despite its share price being at an all-time low.

Rally in sight – Zinc is the secret beneficiary of the steel boom and electric vehicles! Recognize the potential in Pasinex Resources, BYD, and Salzgitter!
The year 2025 was marked by sharply rising prices for raw materials. These included precious metals, especially silver, critical raw materials, but also industrial metals such as copper. The bottom line is that this year's rally passed zinc by. Starting at high prices in January, the price of the volatile industrial metal fell by around 10% over the course of the year. Zinc is used in a wide range of industrial and technological applications: as corrosion protection for steel, in alloys, and as electrode material for certain types of batteries. As the long-term growth drivers remain intact, investing in zinc offers good opportunities. Companies such as Pasinex Resources, which have high-grade deposits and can therefore achieve well above-average margins, are to be favored.

Stock market miracles at a glance! Will Almonty, Rheinmetall, thyssenkrupp, and TKMS become double-baggers again in 2026?
With only two trading days left, one of the most successful investment years of the new millennium is coming to an end. A quarter of the year has already passed, and the major indices have gained around 25% on a currency-adjusted basis, a scenario that is rarely observed. Almonty Industries is among the top-performing stocks of the past 12 months, with investors' capital increasing by an impressive 730%. The large Sangdong tungsten mine in South Korea has now gone into operation, yet CEO Lewis Black is already working on the next strategic steps. Rheinmetall is in full swing, even if the highest prices could not be maintained here. And for the thyssenkrupp Group, a new era is dawning with the spin-off of its marine subsidiary TKMS. The rally is unlikely to be over yet for this select group. We do the math!

Year-end rally ahead! Selected positioning for 2026 in Almonty, DroneShield, thyssenkrupp, and TKMS
Incredible volatility at year-end. No surprise - the past stock market year will go down in history as one of the best for the DAX and NASDAQ. And this despite shrinking economic growth and rising inflation. But seasoned investors already know that inflation boosts stock prices, and what drives them even more is defense spending. War is terrible, but it fills the coffers of financiers - led, as always, by the US. Donald Trump likes to sell himself as a peacemaker to the outside world, yet the US remains the world's largest producer of offensive and defensive technology. Business is booming, NATO is among the biggest customers, and demand runs into the trillions. Whether 2026 will continue in the same vein is doubtful, but conflicts at least continue to enable hyperinflationary money printing. As a result, the gigantic debt flywheel spins ever faster – this is how FIAT money systems have functioned for millennia! Where do opportunities lie for risk-aware investors?

The secret profit chain: From zinc ore to steel to premium electric vehicles with Pasinex Resources, thyssenkrupp, and NIO
Metals such as zinc are the invisible foundation of progress. As an indispensable corrosion protection for steel in car bodies and a beacon of hope for new battery generations, this metal connects traditional industry with the technological future. This strategic convergence opens up opportunities along the entire value chain – from raw material extraction to steel refining to the final electric product. Three companies embody this transformative development: Pasinex Resources, thyssenkrupp, and NIO.

Pasinex, thyssenkrupp, Umicore: How industry and smart mining are benefiting from zinc's comeback
Zinc leads a shadowy existence in many investors' portfolios – unjustifiably so. While lithium, rare earths, and copper are often hailed as the only raw materials of the future, a quiet but significant shift is taking place in the zinc market. Zinc is essential for modern infrastructure, indispensable for the energy transition and the refinement of steel. We shed light on why zinc should now be back on the watch list and how three completely different players, thyssenkrupp, Umicore and Pasinex Resources, are accompanying this dynamic.

What is going on? Sharp price swings for Almonty Industries, Klöckner & Co., and RENK!
Negotiations to end the war between Russia and Ukraine are dragging on. The 28-point plan originally drafted by the US government has now been reduced to 20 points and is to be presented to Ukraine. In general, skeptical voices are growing louder, with many not expecting an agreement to be reached anytime soon. Against this backdrop, defense stocks such as Rheinmetall and RENK are rising. Equally exciting is Almonty Industries, a Canadian manufacturer of the critical metal tungsten, which is also in high demand in the defense industry. Recently, the stock fell significantly to an attractive price level.

SHARE PRICE EXPLOSION for commodity gems!? Nordex, Aurubis, Salzgitter, and Power Metallic Mines!
Shares in the commodities and precious metals sector have been unstoppable in recent weeks. Power Metallic Mines could soon become an explosive latecomer to the rally. There are good reasons for this, as the CEO recently made clear. At Aurubis, the rally appears to be over for now. Analysts are skeptical, and the major shareholder is cashing in his shares - albeit in an unusual way. So should you sell now, too? The past few months have been unusually positive for Nordex. There is currently no sign of a slump in the wind business. What are analysts saying after the latest order intake?
