Almonty Industries: Tungsten Price at Record Levels, Signaling New Stock Highs

  • Tungsten
  • Defense

  • geopolitics

  • semiconductor

The price of tungsten has reached a new record high of over USD 3,200 per metric ton unit (MTU). Is this an overreaction or the new reality? Much points to a fundamentally changed long-term market situation with high prices for this critical raw material. Due to its unique properties, tungsten is an essential raw material for many industries, particularly the defense sector but also the semiconductor industry. Demand is rising dramatically, while supply cannot keep up. China dominates the market with an overwhelming 80% share, but a significant shift in favor of Western industrialized nations is underway. Almonty is emerging as the world's largest tungsten producer outside of China. Consequently, the company holds great geopolitical significance, which, despite its spectacular performance, has not yet been adequately reflected in the stock price.

Iran Conflict and Chip Boom: Almonty Industries Emerges as a Raw Materials Superpower

Amid rising geopolitical tensions and increasing dependence on critical raw materials, investors are focusing on supply security and strategic assets. The geopolitical situation is escalating, while technological dependence on critical raw materials has reached a dangerous level. Almonty Industries sits right at the intersection and offers a solution to a problem affecting the West. With the opening of one of the world's largest tungsten mines in South Korea, the company has not only achieved an operational milestone but also made a political statement. This is about far more than just mining; it is about the independence of entire industries. In this report, we examine why Almonty Industries could be particularly well-positioned amid fragile ceasefires, such as in Iran, and rising commodity prices. Those who understand the management's foresight will quickly realize that a company has emerged here that will redefine the rules of the game on the global market. This is the story of forward-thinking strategy, technical necessity, and a passion for a raw material without which the modern world would likely grind to a halt.

Tanks, Chips, Missiles: China Tightens the Tap—Almonty Steps Into the Gap

The commodities world has a new overlooked topic. While everyone is discussing helium, a perfect storm is brewing around a far more critical metal: tungsten. It is found in armor-piercing ammunition, rocket nozzles, and every modern memory chip. The defense industry, in particular, urgently needs supplies due to ongoing wars. China is turning off the export tap, prices are skyrocketing, and the West's strategic reserves are dwindling. Almonty Industries, which has been operating unnoticed underground for years, is stepping into this very vacuum. Now its largest mine is coming online, right in the middle of a market desperately searching for alternatives.

Markets remain under pressure as interest rate uncertainty and geopolitical risks weigh on sentiment. While some are losing their nerve in the face of volatility, three companies from completely different industries reveal the strategic shifts taking place behind the scenes. Beyond the recent drop in stock prices, there is another common thread. Whether in Silver North Resources' drill holes, Volkswagen's electric vehicles, or Super Micro Computer's AI servers, silver is proving to be the connecting element of a transformation sweeping across all industries. Today, we analyze which stocks have the potential for a turnaround.

Silver Corrects to USD 65 – Speculators Are Worried, Industry Is Celebrating! Silver North, Infineon, and Micron Technologies in Focus

Incredible! Yesterday, silver fell back to USD 65 after hitting a record high of USD 122 in January. The metal had also hovered around this level in December, before the major futures market coverage frenzy swept through the capital markets. A huge stroke of luck for producers, as margins had improved by USD 70 per ounce within six weeks - a boon also for explorers like Silver North, who were able to assign entirely different values to their resources. A curse, however, for industry, which relies heavily on critical metals and now has almost no capacity left to acquire on open markets. It is conceivable that some industrial sectors will report serious shortages in the coming months. We take a closer look at the silver market and its key players.

Why Silver North Resources is benefiting from Xiaomi and Broadcom's hunger for silver

  • AI

Megatrends are shaking up the economy. The AI boom is driving energy demand to dizzying heights. A single data center now consumes as much electricity as 100,000 households. At the same time, the old trading order is crumbling, and an inconspicuous metal is becoming a key strategic resource: silver. The sixth consecutive supply deficit is turning exploration projects into a question of power, because without silver, there would be no smartphones, no chips, and no energy transition. The value chain from Canadian explorer Silver North Resources to ecosystem builder Xiaomi to chip giant Broadcom shows how you can benefit from this situation.

AI and the uranium comeback: How American Atomics is becoming the winner of the energy transition and what that has to do with Meta Platforms and Infineon

The era of artificial intelligence (AI) is not only an era of enormous productivity gains, but above all an era of infrastructure and gigantic energy consumption. While the last decade was dominated by software, the future will be all about hardware. Generative AI and the path toward artificial general intelligence (AGI) are transforming data from an intangible asset into a massive consumer of power. Analysts at Goldman Sachs estimate that investments by major US tech companies in energy infrastructure could reach the astronomical sum of over USD 500 billion by 2027. This new reality is forcing a two-pronged energy strategy: on the one hand, the massive expansion of storage and efficiency technologies, and on the other, the inevitable return to the only CO2-free energy source that reliably provides base load – nuclear power. We explain what tech titan Meta Platforms and chip manufacturer Infineon have to do with this development and why American Atomics is considered a highly speculative but strategically brilliant bet on the uranium comeback.

Mega rally in 2026 with artificial intelligence, chips, and storage solutions: Oracle, Graphano Energy, Broadcom, and Infineon

The year 2025 is drawing to an end. This year, the focus was clearly on the shares of AI providers in the areas of storage solutions, infrastructure, and databases. Investment banks see this sector as a potential driver of rising stock markets in 2026 as well. Will there be a correction in the first quarter? No one knows, because apart from the minor customs uncertainty in April 2025, there has been no serious decline in the international capital markets so far. This is surprising, because inflation remains high, interest rates are rising, and commodity prices are galloping away. These are all indications of higher input prices and falling margins. Which stocks are still making good money?

Three stocks, one trend: Jump on the momentum bandwagon with Almonty Industries, AMD, and ASML

  • Mining
  • Tungsten

  • AI
  • semiconductor
  • chips

The stock market often rewards those who recognize a trend before it becomes mainstream. This is not about short-term speculation, but about identifying companies with strong fundamental tailwinds that can drive prices higher over the long term. This momentum is fueled by structural factors: global technology shifts, geopolitical realignments, and the reorganization of critical supply chains. There is a reason why the saying goes: Go with the flow! Almonty Industries, AMD, and ASML each embody these powerful forces and currently have strong momentum on their side. Let's take a closer look.
