China Is Buying Gold—Even More Than Expected? Barrick Mining, Newmont, and Lahontan Gold Stand to Benefit
While the price of gold holds steady above the USD 4,000 mark, China is buying heavily. According to the Chinese central bank, China purchased 15 metric tons of gold in June alone. This is the highest volume since October 2023. Furthermore, the market has long suspected that China's actual gold purchases are significantly higher than the officially reported amounts. This could mean gold is on the verge of a new rally. For investors looking to profit from a long-term rise in the price of gold, Barrick Mining and Newmont are considered core investments in the gold sector. They offer relatively direct exposure to the price of gold. Rising selling prices can have a disproportionately large impact on cash flow and profits when production costs remain stable. At the same time, operational risks, cost increases, and political uncertainties persist in individual mining countries. Exploration companies are a good option for adding to a portfolio to gain additional exposure to the price of gold.

DRONESHIELD IN TURBULENCE – CLEAR RUNWAY FOR VOLATUS AEROSPACE AND RED CAT HOLDINGS
A crash landing is dragging down the entire drone industry. When DroneShield's stock slipped on Tuesday despite what were actually strong numbers, other stocks in this young, forward-looking sector also came under pressure—even though their businesses have little to do with the Australian company's problems. This is precisely where a massive opportunity could lie for investors—at least if analysts are to be believed. The experts' price targets signal more than 100% upside potential for Volatus Aerospace and Red Cat Holdings.

Deutz, Jungheinrich, and Almonty: Where Investors Can Find Real Opportunities in the Market Right Now
The European industrial landscape is currently noticeably fragmented, which presents investors with difficult decisions about which stocks will perform well and which will perform poorly. While it has never been easy to make the right choice, as established, long-standing German corporations grapple with rising material costs, intense price pressure, and, in some cases, the aftermath of internal conflicts, interest is increasingly shifting toward companies in strategic niche markets, including the commodities and defense sectors. The stocks of Deutz and Jungheinrich reflect the current challenges facing the broader mechanical engineering sector, which is suffering from noticeable margin pressure despite solid order intake. Defense, however, is a buzzword that could boost the performance of one or two stocks in that sector—if handled skillfully. At the same time, the spotlight is on commodity stocks that are benefiting from global geopolitical upheavals. Almonty Industries, in particular, is drawing attention due to an exciting consolidation pattern on the charts. Can this tungsten heavyweight soon regain its former strength? This report examines the current situation of the three stocks and highlights where real opportunities might now be emerging!

Gold and Silver Poised for a Comeback? Lahontan Gold, Newmont and First Majestic Emerge as Top Picks
Gold has served as one of humanity's oldest stores of value for centuries. Today, rising government debt, geopolitical tensions and sustained central bank buying continue to shape the precious metals market. Thanks to high precious metal prices, profits are soaring for producers like Newmont and First Majestic. Investors looking to identify the winners of the coming years should keep an eye not only on the major players but also on companies that are on the verge of production. After all, it is precisely during this transition phase that significant opportunities often arise. Lahontan Gold currently finds itself precisely at this juncture. The Canadian company is on the verge of reaching several key milestones on its path to first gold production next year. The key question is whether the gap between the value of its flagship project and the company's market valuation will begin to close as early as this summer.

The Drone Revolution: Palantir and Lockheed Martin Forced to Innovate—Volatus Aerospace Follows Ukraine's Lead
The days when tanks weighing several metric tons or extremely expensive fighter jets determined victory or defeat on the battlefield are over. As a look at modern warfare shows, it is now primarily the seamless interaction between hardware and software that determines actual success. Those who cannot coordinate algorithms and sensor technology in real time will fall behind. Ukraine is currently demonstrating this impressively, as it now launches more drones for counterattacks against Russia than the aggressor itself. This illustrates that, for NATO, security also means building an agile defence industry that can respond flexibly to requirements. We take a look at three companies in the industry and highlight opportunities.
