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.

Almonty Industries: Poised to Benefit from Tungsten Supply Constraints and Defense Demand
With the ceasefire in the Middle East, a new phase may emerge: increased rearmament. The arsenals in the US, Israel, and the Gulf states have been severely depleted. How quickly the replenishment succeeds is likely to depend heavily on the supply of critical raw materials. And in many cases, China, as a de facto monopolist, holds significant influence. One essential metal is tungsten. It is used not only for ammunition and missiles but also, for example, in the semiconductor industry. In this sector, genuine supply bottlenecks appear to be looming. Major Japanese companies are, in any case, warning of this. Against this backdrop, it is not surprising that the price of tungsten has risen from USD 900 to around USD 3,000 per metric ton unit (MTU) this year alone. Nor is it surprising that Almonty Industries is a real analyst favorite. The tungsten producer is positioned for strong earnings growth.

A USD 631 Billion Market – Rheinmetall, NEO Battery Materials, and BYD Lead the Battery Boom
The global energy transition has a quiet but powerful driver: the battery. No longer merely a storage device, it has become the strategic core of mobility, defense, and grid stability. By 2026, geopolitical tensions surrounding raw materials are intensifying, while innovations such as solid-state and sodium-ion cells are reshaping the technological landscape. Those who act decisively now can secure a competitive edge in an industry expected to grow to over USD 630 billion by 2035. However, not all players will benefit equally—success will depend on execution strength, material innovation, and the ability to scale quickly. These are precisely the qualities embodied by Rheinmetall, NEO Battery Materials, and BYD.

Markets Rally After Ceasefire: RENK, Vonovia, and Gold Gem Kobo Resources in focus
Global capital markets reacted with great relief yesterday to the ceasefire in the Middle East. While oil prices fell sharply, equities and precious metals moved higher. The gold price above USD 4,800 per ounce could act as a catalyst for Kobo Resources. The explorer has just completed a capital increase and published positive drilling results. The expected resource estimate could lead to a revaluation of the stock. Vonovia saw a surge in its share price yesterday. However, not all analysts are convinced by the real estate group. RENK's stock has been on an upward trend for several days now. In addition to positive analyst comments, the company recently secured a multi-million-dollar contract.

Volatus Aerospace: The Drone Supercycle Is Just Starting—and This Undervalued Stock Stands to Soar
Unmanned aviation is no longer a niche market. It is evolving into a cornerstone of modern security and infrastructure architectures.

Wars fuel money printing and drive inflation: Bet on gold now with Barrick Mining, Desert Gold, and B2Gold
When diplomats fail, gold triumphs. Geopolitical upheavals from the Middle East to Ukraine, along with the US-China power struggle, are shaking confidence in fiat currency. At the same time, record-high debt in Washington, Brussels, and Tokyo is suffocating national budgets. Investors are therefore fleeing to tangible assets like gold to escape inflation. Africa is taking center stage in this context. Resource-rich countries like Mali and Côte d'Ivoire attract investors with low costs and thus high returns, yet some companies still hesitate to invest there. This is precisely where a unique opportunity arises for the bold. Three gold producers stand to benefit disproportionately: Barrick Mining, Desert Gold, and B2Gold.

Rising Rates, ESG & Private Equity: Financing in Extreme Times – Vonovia, RE Royalties, and Mutares
War, destruction, reconstruction. These are all issues closely tied to financing. Clearly, no one is currently thinking about how to rebuild the destroyed buildings, bridges, and power plants in Ukraine, the Gaza Strip, or Iran. First, peace must return before new investments in conflict zones can even be considered. The US likely already has dedicated plans for Ukraine, as well as for the Gaza Strip. For the companies RE Royalties, Vonovia, and Mutares, financing questions arise on a different level. Here, return requirements are linked to each individual investment. Often, however, it is not the interest rate of the financing instrument that matters, but rather the attractiveness of the specific project. This is highly interesting for investors who view a sufficient return as the primary criterion for their investment. The charts of these key players are swinging wildly back and forth, creating opportunities for agile investors!

YELLOW CAKE, KAZATOMPROM, AND STALLION URANIUM: THREE WAYS TO PLAY THE URANIUM BOOM
Nuclear power is poised for a boom worldwide. This promises bright prospects for the uranium market. What seemed politically dead is being mercilessly disproved by the reality of exploding energy demand for artificial intelligence and data centers. The price of uranium has more than tripled since 2016, and experts see further potential. For investors, there are three interesting but very different investment opportunities: from the solid stockpiler Yellow Cake to the global market leader Kazatomprom to the promising challenger Stallion Uranium.

From pipeline inspections to defense contracts to drone defense: Why Volatus Aerospace Is Undervalued
Some stocks have two sides. Volatus Aerospace operates a dual-engine business model: a commercial services division generating stable, recurring revenue from energy and infrastructure inspections, and a rapidly expanding defense segment benefiting from NATO contracts and Canada's evolving defense strategy. While many drone companies either sell only hardware or offer only services, Volatus has combined both under one roof. And with a decisive advantage: NATO is right there in the cockpit.
