Tungsten price explodes to USD 1,737: Why Almonty is now becoming the West's money printing machine – bottleneck for Sandvik and Rheinmetall
A scenario is currently unfolding on the commodity markets that even experienced traders and analysts describe as "extraordinary," if not a "tectonic shift." While investors often look to gold or copper, an exponential price development is taking place in a strategic niche that is turning the calculations of the entire Western industry upside down and creating new hierarchies. The tungsten market, the metal that forms the backbone of the modern defense and high-tech industry due to its extreme hardness and heat resistance, has spiraled out of control. Almonty is the only Western producer to create significant new capacity in 2026.
The price of ammonium paratungstate (APT), the global benchmark product for tungsten trading, is skyrocketing. Within a single week, the price in Rotterdam shot up by more than 26% to reach an average price of USD 1,737 per mtu (metric ton unit). To really understand the drama of this development, one needs to look at the timeline. **At the beginning of 2025, the price was still hovering around USD 340. By the end of 2025, it had more than doubled to USD 862, which was already considered sensational. But what we are now experiencing in the first quarter of 2026 is no longer a normal market fluctuation. It is a wave of panic buying that has caused the price to increase fivefold in just over a year. In this extremely dynamic environment, there are many losers on the buyer side – but on the producer side, there is one clear winner that is positioned like no other: Almonty Industries.

The right stocks, the right timing: Silver Viper Minerals, Siemens, and Infineon – New all-time highs?
Siemens is marching ahead. Business is booming, annual targets have been raised, and the stock is at an all-time high. Infineon is still a long way off the historic levels seen during the New Market era, but it is heading in the right direction. The high price of silver, structural supply deficits, and the growing importance of high-grade properties in established mining regions are bringing Silver Viper Minerals shares into the focus of investor interest – especially after the brief correction at a high level. The timing is right!

Defense Stocks Consolidate: Sideways Phase or 100% Upside Potential? Rheinmetall, RENK, Hensoldt, Power Metallic, and CSG
Investors would have hoped for a different outcome since October 2025. While commodity stocks climbed to historic highs, the market's former favorites in the defense sector saw their first significant wave of profit-taking. Rheinmetall fell from EUR 2,005 to EUR 1,450, Renk dropped from EUR 95 to below EUR 50, and Hensoldt declined from EUR 117 to EUR 65. Although these stocks later recovered some percentage points, new record highs have yet to materialize. The situation was quite different in the critical metals sector - the supply chain companies serving the defense sector. Since autumn, one thing has become increasingly clear: materials are running scarce. This is because the growth of the newly beloved defense industry requires huge quantities of metal. With high-tech components embedded in virtually all modern systems, copper in particular is in high demand, along with rare earths and tungsten. The recent explosion in copper prices to over USD 13,500 speaks volumes. Investors may want to consider reallocating their portfolios, as high metal prices are likely to lead to declining margins in the future, particularly in the defense sector. Here are a few ideas.

Antimony Resources: This stock is impossible to ignore!
The strategic reserve of critical raw materials and rare earths announced by the United States underscores the profound transformation underway in the commodities sector. Geopolitics is becoming a decisive factor in the valuation of raw material assets. States and governments, as a new and, in the future, the most important investor group, are prepared to pay high and strategically motivated prices to secure supply. Antimony Resources is set to benefit massively from this development. The Canadian company owns the largest antimony deposit in North America. Antimony is indispensable, particularly in military and security-critical applications.

New analyst comments: Almonty Industries at all-time high, volatility at Rheinmetall and RENK – What is next?
The latest analyst ratings assess the growth prospects of Almonty Industries and several defense companies. The tungsten producer's stock stands out as particularly positive. The high price level of this critical raw material, combined with rising production volumes, is acting as an enormous profit lever with net margins of around 60% from 2028 onwards. The bottom line is that the experts' verdict on defense stocks is positive. The big picture underpinning this outlook is the tense geopolitical situation and massive increases in defense budgets.

Missed out on a 1,000% rally? Antimony Resources with significant upside potential! Following in the footsteps of MP Materials and Almonty!
Almonty Industries has gained over 1,000% in recent months. MP Materials has gained over 500%. Both companies produce critical metals such as tungsten and rare earths. Both have further price potential, but are also valued in the billions. Antimony Resources is currently worth around just EUR 50 million. While Antimony Resources is still at an earlier development stage, accelerating government support in the US and Canada could significantly shorten the path to production. If this succeeds, Antimony Resources should also be able to multiply its value.

Antimony Resources: North America's largest critical minerals project sparks interest – when will Trump come knocking?
Geopolitics is becoming a decisive factor in the valuation of raw material projects and resource companies. These are the conclusions reached by renowned consulting firms. Security of supply is now defining strategic logic. Many experts conclude that states and governments will increasingly become the most important investors in industry in the future. Antimony Resources shares are increasingly being traded as beneficiaries. The Canadian company owns the largest antimony deposit in North America. The global market is currently dominated by China, Russia, and Tajikistan. Antimony is indispensable, particularly in military and security-related applications. The share price has already risen significantly, but is currently correcting at a high level. Investors should definitely keep the stock on their radar.

Antimony Resources – Geopolitical commodity leverage
The world is heading toward a new commodity conflict, and antimony is suddenly in the spotlight. Neither the defense industry nor modern technologies can function without this metal. But, as with rare earths, the West is dependent on China. Amid this geopolitical imbalance, Antimony Resources Corp. is coming into focus. The Company is developing one of the more advanced and promising antimony projects in North America in a secure jurisdiction and with convincing recent progress. This presents investors with a rare opportunity to invest early in a strategic commodity that is becoming increasingly valuable, both politically and economically.

Is antimony the new tungsten? Why Antimony Resources could become a similar story to Almonty Industries
Out of the niche and into the spotlight! Antimony was considered a forgotten metal for decades until geopolitical upheavals shifted the focus to critical metals. Today, it is at the center of a geopolitical and economic realignment because it is indispensable for numerous high-tech and defense applications. China, a long-time dominant supplier, has drastically restricted its exports, leading to noticeable supply bottlenecks in many industries, from battery production to military equipment, and driving prices to historic levels. These restrictions have destabilized strategic supply chains and prompted Western governments, such as the US, to take massive security measures. Analysts and the media emphasize that this shortage is not just a temporary market phenomenon, but an industrial policy issue that affects production, prices, and investment worldwide. Canadian explorer Antimony Resources is just beginning to tell its story, which in its early stages shows many parallels to Almonty Industries. It is worth taking a closer look.
