Almonty Industries, DroneShield, Thales: Three Companies Benefiting from the Global Arms Race
Global defense spending is rising to record levels, fueling a long-term investment boom. It is no longer just traditional defense contractors that are benefiting from this trend. At the same time, the supply of strategic raw materials is becoming a critical bottleneck. Metals, which are indispensable for precision weapons, semiconductors, aerospace, and modern defense systems, are becoming increasingly important. Those who can secure Western supply chains in the future or possess key technologies have the potential to be among the biggest winners of this geopolitical turning point.

Missiles in the Middle East! War Fears Push Oil Prices Higher, Xiaomi and BYD Battle for Market Share – Is This dynaCERT's Moment?
The global geopolitical situation remains tense. The ceasefire between the United States and Iran has effectively collapsed. The night before last, US forces once again struck around 90 targets in Iran, and Tehran responded with attacks on US bases in Bahrain and Kuwait. The Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important oil transport routes, is once again nearly at a standstill, and oil prices are rising noticeably. Amid this tense environment, a power struggle of its own is raging on the stock markets. While Asian heavyweights like Xiaomi and BYD are poaching customers from one another in a ruthless price war, investors are also turning their attention to smaller companies that could benefit from rising oil prices. One such company is Canadian cleantech firm dynaCERT, whose emissions-reduction technology appears well aligned with current market trends. From a technical perspective, the stock is also approaching an important inflection point. Today, we take a closer look at three very different stocks: BYD, Xiaomi, and dynaCERT.

Swinging Up and Down – Will 2026 Bring More Record Highs? Rheinmetall, TKMS, Kobo Resources, and Hensoldt
The conflict in the Middle East has intensified once again. Efforts to reach a lasting agreement have so far failed, and a ceasefire based on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) proved short-lived. Just days after it was announced, reports of renewed attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz and on critical energy infrastructure in the Gulf region have once again heightened geopolitical tensions. For oil prices, this is a bullish factor; for the stock market, it means yet another period of heightened volatility with sharp initial losses followed by recovery rallies. Yesterday, Germany's DAX 40 index climbed back above the key 25,000 mark, while defence stocks that had previously come under pressure moved back into the spotlight. At the same time, gold and silver prices weakened, possibly reflecting renewed liquidity pressures in global financial markets. The evolving market dynamics warrant a closer look.

Gold Amid Crises and War: Is Lahontan Gold the Answer to Trump's NATO Upheaval? Breakout Ahead?
The world is in a state of heightened tension. The grinding war in Iran has reached its 100th day, further disrupting already fragile global energy markets. At the same time, political tensions are escalating at the NATO summit in Ankara, Türkiye, where US President Donald Trump is once again forcefully demanding greater financial contributions from European allies. During the summit, Trump has also ordered additional military strikes in the Middle East, further rattling investor sentiment. Even the devastating war in Ukraine has, to some extent, been overshadowed by the broader geopolitical turmoil. Investor uncertainty is rising sharply, and risk premiums—including higher oil prices—are climbing across global markets. In times of such extreme uncertainty, investors are looking for reliable ways to protect their portfolios. Gold has once again moved into the spotlight as a traditional safe-haven asset and an important diversifier during periods of geopolitical and economic stress. Against this backdrop, junior gold companies are also attracting renewed attention. One company that is increasingly standing out is Lahontan Gold. The Nevada-focused explorer is emerging as an interesting company to watch, backed by attractive projects, a well-funded balance sheet, and steady operational progress. If the favourable environment for gold persists, the company could offer investors exposure to a sector that has historically benefited from periods of heightened uncertainty.

Iran War, Oil Price Shock & Inflation: Is Now the Right Time to Invest in Newmont, DRC Gold, and Agnico Eagle?
A recent escalation of tensions between the US and Iran has fueled geopolitical conflicts and once again brought the gold market into the spotlight. As oil prices rise and inflation expectations follow suit, gold is once again becoming an attractive "safe haven" for investors. Investors are primarily asking whether the historic highs recorded in January can be reached again and which companies stand to benefit the most in this volatile situation. A closer analysis of the strategic positioning of Newmont, DRC Gold, and Agnico Eagle could provide some answers.

Forget Short-Term Hysteria—Win Long-Term with Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, and RTX
After a breathtaking rally, defense stocks have come under pressure. Hopes for peace, profit-taking and new competitors have driven prices into a recent correction. For short-term-minded investors, this may look threatening, yet the structural drivers – depleted arsenals, aging systems and Europe's push for military sovereignty – remain intact. The current markdowns resemble a technical breather rather than a break in the trend. It is precisely this discrepancy between short-term volatility and long-term necessity that opens an entry window for strategic investors. This is the moment to set your sights on companies with thick order books and systemic relevance. While Rheinmetall benefits from Europe's rearmament, Almonty Industries, as a tungsten supplier, secures critical raw materials for production, and the US group RTX delivers technological superiority in aviation, drones and cyber defense.

Bitcoin to Zero? Lahontan Gold Remains Stable! USD 800 Million Waiting in Nevada
Three of the world's most well-known investors have never been fans of Bitcoin. One of them is now warning that the cryptocurrency could eventually fall to zero. As the digital (so-called) gold substitute comes under pressure, even traditional precious metals are currently experiencing a pronounced phase of weakness. Nevertheless, the share price of an emerging gold producer remains notably stable—and for good reason. Lahontan Gold is on the verge of a potential breakthrough and could remain highly profitable even if the price of gold were to halve. The company is backed by a management team with a proven track record.

Gold at USD 6,000! Analysts Turn Bullish! Lahontan Gold Stock Belongs in the Portfolio
Will the falling oil price fuel a new rally in gold? In recent weeks, inflation fears and the associated concerns about rising interest rates have been among the key headwinds for precious metals. With the expected easing of geopolitical tensions in the Iran conflict, this pressure is now diminishing. Lower energy prices could ease inflation expectations, thereby reducing the likelihood of further rate hikes. Gold has recently defended the USD 4,000 per ounce level and even briefly traded above USD 4,300 on Wednesday. Gold expert Markus Bußler remains bullish, a view that should also support renewed strength in gold equities. Lahontan Gold is in an exciting phase. The company is currently transitioning from explorer to producer—not just anywhere, but in one of the world's most attractive gold mining regions. While preparations for mine construction are underway, the company continues to report positive drill results.

This Investment Scenario Will Last for Years: Tungsten Giant Almonty and the Demand from Hensoldt, RENK, and Others
On January 1, 2027, the US Department of Defense's import ban on tungsten products from China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran will take effect. Because tungsten is considered an almost irreplaceable element in defense technology, semiconductors, and the aerospace industry, this ban is creating significant time pressure across these sectors. At the same time, the EU is also tightening requirements for raw material sovereignty with the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA). China is exacerbating the situation with export restrictions on dual-use materials. As a result, the global tungsten market is sliding into a severe structural shortage. We take a look at where the opportunities lie for investors—and which companies to watch.

Defense and Critical Metals: New Investment Opportunities! Rheinmetall, Renk, Almonty Industries, and RTX in Focus
Supply Chain Problems! US President Donald Trump has summoned leading defense contractors to the White House because the US is concerned that its missile and ammunition stocks are too low following its involvement in the Iran War, according to the Wall Street Journal. The meeting will focus on how to quickly ramp up production to rapidly replace, above all, Patriot interceptor missiles, Tomahawk cruise missiles, and other critical munitions. Expected participants include Lockheed Martin, RTX, Boeing, L3Harris, Northrop Grumman, and Honeywell Aerospace, among others. The companies have agreed in principle to expand their capacities but are still waiting for the necessary funding and binding contracts. That is precisely where the problem lies at the moment: The US has a debt problem, and without budgetary funds or a congressional agreement on special appropriations, the planned contracts cannot be finalized legally. At the same time, Trump is urging the industry also to use spare capacity from other sectors—such as automakers—for weapons production. Defense seems to be overshadowing all other major issues in the US. The stock market clearly sees things differently! Where do the opportunities lie for investors?
