Desert Gold, Barrick, D-Wave: Mining meets future technology – A new chapter in resource extraction
The current developments around the US gold reserves in Fort Knox, which, at 147.3 million troy ounces, represent a market value of around USD 434 billion, are attracting international attention. In particular, President Trump's announcement that he will personally inspect the holdings highlights the political dimension of the precious metal. The BRICS countries are seeking a gold-backed currency to reduce their dependence on the US dollar. This could significantly increase demand for gold from African countries. Desert Gold Ventures presents promising new drilling data from its West African gold project with impressive gold grades at Mogoyafara South. Top dog Barrick Gold settles its conflict with the Malian government and, despite challenges, posts record profits of USD 2.14 billion in 2024. D-Wave Quantum is targeting agriculture and developing autonomous field robots that could revolutionize agricultural processes. Exciting times for investors.

Chancellor election 2025 - now it is getting exciting! Explosive news at Palantir, D-Wave, European Lithium, and SAP
Germany has voted. With 28% of the vote, the CDU leaves the field as the winner. However, difficult coalition talks will now follow. Those expecting a lot of "change" may still be disappointed because many urgent topics do not seem urgent enough yet. How the CDU will proceed with the blocking parties will become an exciting topic in the coming weeks. The stock market experienced a slight dip on Friday, indicating that investors, accustomed to a bull market, are shifting to the safe side before the election results are clear. After all, as of Friday, around 30% of eligible voters were still undecided. Some stocks should be on the radar, as significant movements are expected.

D-Wave makes a big splash! Palantir and the PayPal mafia! AI, quantum computing, and crypto in the Credissential stock!
Quantum computing has arrived in Germany! With the help of D-Wave, the Jülich Research Center plans to advance the research, simulation, and optimization of future technologies such as AI, quantum, and neuromorphic computing.

The breakthrough is expected in 2025 when the stock is expected to take off. And what is Palantir doing? The stock is unstoppable, surpassing corporate growth. Investors are speculating about the PayPal Mafia and government contracts worth billions. And then, of course, there is the direct line to the US Vice President.

Palantir, First Nordic Metals, Barrick Gold – WATCH OUT: These stocks are on the move!
The tech industry celebrates Palantir as an AI pioneer: With a 390% price increase in 2024 and a forecast of USD 3.75 billion in revenue in 2025, the Company is convincing with its government and commercial AI solutions – but the P/E ratio of 600 raises sustainability questions. Meanwhile, First Nordic Metals is building on exploration momentum in the Scandinavian gold sector: new anomalies and cost-efficient drilling techniques are driving the stock. Barrick Gold, in turn, combines robustness (19% revenue growth) with geopolitical challenges in Mali and long-term, large-scale projects. We take a look at which companies offer potential and where valuations could be too high.

Things are heating up with Alibaba and Credissential, while Palantir and SAP ride the AI boom
The stock market is picking up speed. In addition to the high-tech and AI fantasy, there are rumors of peace in Ukraine. European equities that are likely to play a role in any reconstruction are attracting a lot of attention. Cement maker Heidelberg Materials has been performing well for weeks, and Siemens is also gaining daily. Outside of geopolitical considerations, SAP remains the only German cloud of hope to be a long-running success. Is a correction possible here? It is difficult to imagine at the moment, so attention is turning to lagging stocks or stocks that have already fully exploited their momentum. For those paying close attention, divergences are visible!

Globex Mining, Intel, D-Wave: AI Revolution Drives Resources and Semiconductor Market
The course for the future of AI was set this week in France, where 1,500 representatives from politics and business gathered for the international AI summit. The AI revolution is driven by immense energy and semiconductor demand that Europe, with its current energy policy, cannot fulfil. The commodities rally for energy generation is gaining momentum to power the immense data centers. Ideal timing for the explorer Globex Mining, which, with its portfolio of strategic commodities, is a mineral bank for investors. With a strong diversification of commodities and precious metals, there is something for practically every energy requirement. Intel, on the other hand, could experience a recovery through cooperation with TSMC. The stock suffered a 60% decline last year. Quantum computing pioneer D-Wave demonstrates that practical applications of the technology are already in use today. In an open letter, CEO Baratz addresses investors.

DAX 22,000 – New highs for Oklo, Nova Pacific Metals, D-Wave, and SMCI under the microscope!
After a rapid upward movement, the DAX 40 index has reached the magical 22,100-point mark after just 6 weeks of trading. This means that the index has already gained more than 10% since the beginning of the year. Investments in the high-tech and defense sectors continue to drive this. Investors are following the trends that started in 2024. However, this is bringing critical metals to the fore because they are currently subject to sanctions by China under Donald Trump's tariff plans. We are therefore focusing our analysis on companies that are particularly noteworthy under the current circumstances. It is not always a good time to buy, but as the saying goes, you will never go broke taking profits.

Volkswagen, Nova Pacific Metals, D-Wave Quantum – Is a trade war about to break out?
Donald Trump is the new president of the United States of America, and he is moving at a rapid pace. On his first day, he issued several decrees, and his inaugural address was also impactful. He announced tariffs on imports. Goods from Mexico and Canada will be subject to 25% customs duties. And tariffs of up to 60% are being considered for products from China. If the US isolates itself like this, China, in particular, could significantly restrict its raw material exports, and the trade war would be officially underway. The race for critical raw materials has already begun. Trump has already put out feelers to Greenland and Canada. Where will high-tech industries source their raw materials from in the future?
