ASML, Group Eleven Resources, Aixtron – Europe with Game-Changing Potential
Europe is emerging as the epicenter of a new commodities and technology boom. While a near-monopolist with record margins is driving the global chip industry and reaping the benefits of exploding AI demand, a potential game-changer in the commodities sector is taking shape on the continent. High-grade polymetallic deposits, combined with a strategic location and low costs, could significantly reduce dependence on imports. Massive investments and expanded drilling programs are accelerating the development toward a potential key role in European supply. At the same time, optimistic forecasts in the semiconductor sector are providing additional momentum. Europe could thus benefit twice over, both technologically and in terms of raw materials.

Silver Corrects to USD 65 – Speculators Are Worried, Industry Is Celebrating! Silver North, Infineon, and Micron Technologies in Focus
Incredible! Yesterday, silver fell back to USD 65 after hitting a record high of USD 122 in January. The metal had also hovered around this level in December, before the major futures market coverage frenzy swept through the capital markets. A huge stroke of luck for producers, as margins had improved by USD 70 per ounce within six weeks - a boon also for explorers like Silver North, who were able to assign entirely different values to their resources. A curse, however, for industry, which relies heavily on critical metals and now has almost no capacity left to acquire on open markets. It is conceivable that some industrial sectors will report serious shortages in the coming months. We take a closer look at the silver market and its key players.

AI and Nuclear Power: Solid Returns with Meta and Intel – High-Flying Opportunity: Standard Uranium
Future economic growth will depend heavily on the availability of reliable, low-carbon baseload power. The high energy demands of technology companies driven by AI innovations are contributing to a renewed interest in nuclear power. The reasons go far beyond previous environmental visions. As studies by McKinsey and PwC show, the AI industry is growing by 15 to 20% annually through 2030. To avoid falling behind, companies like Meta and Intel are investing billions in a completely new AI infrastructure. Through partnerships with players like Oklo and TerraPower, Meta is driving the development of a 6.6 GW nuclear campus to operate its AI superclusters in a climate-neutral manner. Intel is focusing on optimizing energy efficiency directly at the chip level, as the power consumption of modern racks has risen to up to 120 kW. To satisfy the hunger for nuclear fuel, Standard Uranium is driving the search for tomorrow's safe deposits forward with its ambitious winter drilling program. For investors, the current trend offers opportunities - we show where the greatest leverage lies.

Iran war and skyrocketing oil prices! Are there any winners at all? Infineon, First Hydrogen, and Aixtron in focus
Tensions in Iran have escalated rapidly, with military actions unfolding over a seven-day period. For the international community and struggling economies, a sustained 20% increase in oil prices means a sharp decline in economic growth and a huge surge in inflation on store shelves due to downstream inflationary effects. Consumers will not fall into a new buying frenzy in times of war, but will keep their wallets closed. Stock market traders need to think beyond short-term reactions. The real opportunities may now lie in companies that have struggled in recent days or emerging stocks with strong long-term prospects. Which names are positioned to recover fastest once the crisis stabilizes?

AI: a billion-dollar opportunity! Secure your share of the pie now with Intel, American Atomics, and Super Micro Computer.
In 2026, artificial intelligence will have an unprecedented impact on the stock markets. What began as a purely technological phenomenon is transforming into a cross-sector megatrend fueled by record investments of over USD 450 billion. No longer just chip developers, but also suppliers of specific infrastructure and energy providers are becoming the secret winners of this expansion. This fundamental change is creating opportunities far beyond the usual suspects and leads us directly to three interesting companies: semiconductor veteran Intel, energy company American Atomics, and server specialist Super Micro Computer.

Occidental Petroleum, Silver Viper, Micron Technology – New and old favorites
Debt reduction, geopolitical tailwinds, and a technical breakout in the energy sector are meeting structural supply shortages in precious metals and AI-driven demand for memory chips. While oil and gas producers are benefiting from "energy dominance" and tight supply conditions, silver explorers with high-grade projects offer leverage to the next upswing in precious metals. At the same time, semiconductor stocks are igniting the next stage of the AI supercycle, driven by scarcity, rising prices, and exploding data center demand.

Crash as a reality check for AMD and First Majestic: Why silver and AI are correcting while Almonty stands firm on rising tungsten prices
Market sentiment has shifted sharply in recent weeks: what began as profit-taking has developed into a real stress test for investors' nerves. The sectors most celebrated in recent months – AI stocks and precious metals – have taken a beating. Yet amid this turmoil, one phenomenon is emerging that should make investors sit up and take notice: the tungsten market is completely decoupled from the crash and, seemingly immune to Wall Street panic, is hitting new highs. Tungsten, the indispensable backbone of Western defense and heavy industry, is becoming more expensive while almost everything else is falling. In this environment, Almonty Industries is emerging as a quasi-monopolist with excellent prospects to deliver long-term gains for its shareholders.

Winners and losers in the silver shock: A look at the current situations of BYD, Silver North Resources, and Intel
A new battle over a familiar commodity is shaping the future of major global megatrends. Silver, critical for green energy, electromobility, and the electronics and semiconductor industries, is at the center of an explosive supply gap. The recent surge in silver prices is putting pressure on corporate margins, and like any crisis, it is creating both winners and losers. We therefore take a closer look at the current situation of BYD, Silver North Resources, and Intel.

Experts predict a silver boom up to USD 250! Should Rheinmetall, Silver Viper, and Aixtron be in your portfolio now?
The rise in the price of silver by over 160% in just 12 months is already phenomenal. But the upward scenario now seems inevitable: reports of imbalances in the physical delivery of futures contracts by institutional investors are leading to renewed price increases at every settlement date. Since the precious metal generated a strong buy signal at around USD 38, the price has been trending upwards. In yesterday's trading, it even exceeded the USD 80 mark. Allegedly, more than 700 million ounces of silver will be missing for the March settlement, which corresponds to 90% of total annual production. In addition to the very interesting silver explorer Silver Viper, we are also looking at Rheinmetall and Aixtron, two high-tech consumers of this critical metal. If deliveries fail, production lines could be halted for some time! Here are a few insights.
