Volatus Aerospace, Hensoldt, and Rheinmetall: Three Stocks for the New Drone and Defence Boom
After the war comes rearmament. The conflict in the Middle East may be nearing an end—the US and Iran recently signed at least a declaration of intent to end the war at the Palace of Versailles. But this will only temporarily slow down global rearmament, if at all. In the long term, the defence boom will continue worldwide. And the wars of the future will no longer be fought solely with tanks, aircraft, and missiles. Drones, sensors, software, autonomous systems, and electronic defence technology are fundamentally transforming the defence industry. What seemed like a niche topic for specialists just a few years ago has now become a multi-billion-dollar growth market. Governments around the globe want to become more independent, secure supply chains, and modernize military capabilities more quickly. This is precisely what is giving rise to new investment opportunities. Volatus Aerospace is currently particularly exciting for speculative investors; those who prefer a more conservative approach can also add Hensoldt and Rheinmetall to a defence-focused portfolio.

Will Falling Oil Prices Trigger a Gold Price Rally? Expert Is Bullish! Lahontan Gold Stock Poised to Outperform
Will falling oil prices fuel a new rally in gold? After all, inflation fears and the associated concerns about rising interest rates have been among the key headwinds for precious metals in recent weeks. With the foreseeable end of the conflict in Iran, this very pressure is easing. Energy costs are becoming cheaper, inflation expectations could subside, and, with them, the likelihood of further interest rate hikes could decrease. The gold price has recently held above the USD 4,000 per troy ounce mark and even briefly exceeded USD 4,300 on Wednesday. Gold expert Markus Bußler is bullish. This should also help gold stocks get back on track. 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 promising gold regions. While preparing for mine construction, the company is reporting positive drilling results.

Trump Wants Lower Interest Rates: Riding the Gold Rally with Newmont, Desert Gold, and B2Gold
The recent stagnation in the gold market may be misleading. The fundamental backdrop is changing. Donald Trump wants to see interest rates fall and would like to see Jerome Powell replaced. At the same time, a weakening US dollar and continued gold purchases by central banks are creating a potentially powerful combination. These factors, underpinned by ongoing geopolitical tensions, are converging into a clear signal. The market may be approaching a turning point, where the next dynamic upward move appears increasingly likely. For investors, this opens up a strategic window of opportunity that could reward decisive action. We are therefore taking a closer look at industry leader Newmont, promising future gold producer Desert Gold, and established producer B2Gold.

Alcoa, Antimony Resources, MP Materials: Despite the Hormuz Strait Opening, the Battle for Critical Metals Continues
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The next commodities rally may be just getting started. While geopolitical tensions are tightening the supply of key industrial metals, demand is simultaneously skyrocketing. Aluminum is benefiting from looming supply bottlenecks and rising demand driven by the energy transition and digitalization. Antimony is emerging as a key strategic commodity due to its importance for ammunition, semiconductors, and battery systems. At the same time, government programs worth billions are driving the development of Western supply chains for rare earths. Those who bet now on the commodity winners of the geopolitical realignment could be facing an extraordinary opportunity.

DroneShield, Volatus Aerospace, Textron: Technological Change Creates New Stock Market Stars
Modern warfare is undergoing a historic transformation. Autonomous systems, drone defence, and intelligent defence technologies are evolving into multi-billion-dollar growth markets. At the same time, forward-looking civilian industries are also benefiting from this trend. Drones are increasingly taking on tasks related to monitoring critical infrastructure, energy supply, and data collection. At the same time, electric mobility, hybrid powertrains, and the growing electrification of the economy are driving demand for innovative vehicle and battery systems. Those who position themselves early in these structural growth markets could benefit from a long-term investment boom that extends far beyond the traditional defence sector.

Lahontan Gold: Poised for a Revaluation This Year?
The gold market is currently overshadowed by the war in the Persian Gulf and SpaceX's IPO. Investors' focus has shifted. However, this presents opportunities for counter-cyclical investments. In the gold sector, valuations have fallen significantly in some cases. Yet the structural trends remain intact, as Citigroup recently noted in a detailed study. Accordingly, their commodities analysts confirmed their 6- to 12-month price target for gold at USD 5,000. The long-term upward trend is supported by structural changes such as ongoing de-dollarization, the shift in global supply chains and trade routes, and gold purchases by central banks worldwide. JPMorgan and Bank of America are even more bullish and see the price per ounce at USD 6,000 to USD 6,300 by year-end. Lahontan Gold is likely to benefit massively from these developments. The Canadians plan to begin construction of the historic Santa Fe Mine in Nevada as early as next year. On the way there, the stock should see a revaluation.

Geostrategic Raw Materials Alliance: Export Controls Hit SpaceX and Rheinmetall – Wall Street Bets on Almonty
Trade barriers, reduced mining quotas, and a US legal import ban on certain critical metals set to take effect in 2027—the West's traditional raw materials supply chains are under pressure. At the heart of the supply bottleneck is tungsten, which, due to its melting point of 3,422 °C, is irreplaceable for modern kinetic military applications and high-temperature-resistant alloys in the aerospace sector. Since alternative, non-Chinese production capacities have so far accounted for less than 10% of global production volume, Western technology companies face a very real supply crisis. Tungsten heavyweight Almonty Industries is stepping into this supply vacuum and, thanks to new production capacities, is emerging as a key player and de facto monopolist.

War, Armament Build-Up, Commodity Shortages—Take Advantage of Pullbacks in Almonty, Rheinmetall, and RENK!
The sharp correction in defence stocks over the past few months has unsettled investors. Analysts have significantly lowered their price targets, and sentiment has turned negative. However, the underlying fundamentals remain unchanged. Geopolitical tensions around the globe are rising, defence spending is reaching record levels, and there is no end in sight to global rearmament. For this reason, the current pullback presents an attractive entry opportunity. This applies in particular to Almonty Industries shares. Recently, the tungsten producer raised USD 800 million in fresh capital through a convertible bond. Investors can therefore expect value-enhancing acquisitions of assets and companies.

Insider Alert at Rheinmetall! No Panic at Almonty! And What About RENK?
This is what confidence looks like. Since early May, insiders at Rheinmetall have purchased shares worth more than EUR 6 million. In particular, CEO Armin Papperger stands out, having demonstrated strong timing with his purchases in the past. Sharp pullbacks are not unusual for Almonty Industries and have historically proven to be attractive entry opportunities. The odds are good that this will be the case again. Following the placement of a convertible bond, the tungsten producer's stock has declined by around 20%. Attention is expected to shift back to fundamentals, which continue to support a positive investment case for Almonty shares. The Financial Times recently reported that Chinese companies are acquiring tungsten scrap in the US. Will Almonty use the fresh capital to extend its value chain? In any case, CEO Lewis Black, himself a major shareholder, has already earned a significant vote of confidence from the market.

Gold Market: Rising Inflation Fears Force Mining Giants Like Barrick Into Acquisitions – S&P Global Provides Tailwind for DRC Gold
An escalating US debt crisis exceeding USD 39 trillion, geopolitical shocks in the Middle East, and a resurgent inflation trend have shaped capital markets in the first half of the year. While more speculative digital assets such as Bitcoin have experienced significant corrections after reaching historic highs, physical gold is increasingly establishing itself as a stable store of value against fiat currency debasement. The precious metal has reached an all-time high of USD 5,589 per ounce and is seeing strong inflows into gold ETFs. This ongoing trend is forcing established mining companies to expand declining resources at existing mines and in surrounding areas. For investors, this environment presents opportunities.
