Inflation in the US eased slightly in August from July's 5.4% to 5.3%. Nevertheless, this is a high value. It would be premature to derive a trend reversal from this. Far more dramatic are the rates of inflation in wholesale prices in Germany. As the Federal Statistical Office recently reported, these rose by 12.3% year-on-year in August. It was the most substantial increase since October 1974, during the first oil crisis. Investors should invest in tangible assets such as shares, real estate, commodities, or precious metals to protect their assets. Who offers the best risk-reward ratio?

    TRIUMPH GOLD CORP - Completed drilling program highlights potential

    The Canada-based exploration company focuses on advancing its Freegold Mountain project, located in the mining-friendly Yukon and covering 200 sq km. The area is 100% owned by Triumph Gold and is located in the Dawson Range copper-gold belt. The property hosts three mineral deposits, Nucleus, Revenue and Tinta Hill. The Company also owns 100% of the Big Creek and Tad/Toro copper-gold properties near the Freegold Mountain project.

    Recently, the Company announced the completion of a 19-hole, 6,615m diamond drilling program on the Freegold Mountain property in the Nucleus and Revenue areas. In advance of the campaign, the Company had completed an extensive study with Minerva Intelligence. This study involved the use of DRIVER artificial intelligence software. The analysis showed new gold and copper mineralization on Nucleus. Final assay results from the drill core are expected periodically in September and October.

    Preliminary results confirm two intersecting styles of mineralization forming the Nucleus gold-silver-copper deposit and an intersection of sulphide replacement and epithermal mineralization near the regional South Big Creek fault. New mineralization was also intersected southeast of the Nucleus resource area.

    "Triumph Gold has used enhanced deposit and geophysical modeling along with AI vectoring to identify and target under-explored areas of the Freegold Mountain project. We are very pleased to receive assay results confirming drill core observations from all areas, including newly identified mineralization intersected to the south and east of Nucleus," said Jesse Halle, VP Exploration at Triumph Gold.

    Investors can eagerly await further news, which should then include final evaluations. Preliminary data is positive and confirms the potential of the project. With a market capitalization of CAD 22 million, the Company is definitely worth a closer look.

    FIRST MAJESTIC SILVER CORP - 2022 should also be a record year

    With this year's acquisition of the US gold mine Jerritt Canyon, the situation of the silver producer, which was focused exclusively on Mexico until then, has improved significantly. The Canadians still have the goal of becoming the largest silver producer in the world. The new US asset has dramatically increased the profitability of the group.

    As CEO Keith Neumeyer recently detailed at the Gold Forum Americas 2021, 2021 will be a record year. The Company leader expects 2022 to be even better. Neumeyer based his confidence on further production expansion and the expectation of rising precious metals prices. In particular, he is bullish on silver. Because in his opinion, the ever-increasing demand from the areas of electromobility and solar will lead to a medium-term price increase. Analysts believe the title has an average price potential of 30%.

    VARTA AG - Several negative factors: 4-month low marked

    The share of the South German battery manufacturer has marked a new multi-month low in recent days. Prices around EUR 120 were last called four months ago. In particular, the current Apple figures have put the Varta share certificates under pressure, as Apple did not announce a new AirPod model as expected. Varta is a supplier to the US. The subsidiary VARTA Microbattery is already an innovation leader in micro-batteries and one of the market leaders in hearing aid batteries. Varta is also aiming to become the market leader in lithium-ion batteries for wearables, especially hearables.

    A few months ago, the group also announced its intention to enter the electromobility market with large-format batteries. In addition to an unfavorable chart situation of the share, the recent coverage by Bankhaus Metzler with a rating of "Sell" and a price target of EUR 106 caused some disruptive fire. According to the analysts, the growth story of the battery manufacturer is fading. While there is a growing demand for batteries for wireless headphones, prices are coming under pressure in the face of increasing competition.


    Investing in equities is the right response to rising inflation. Those looking to benefit from higher prices for precious metals and copper and looking away from established producers should look at the share of Triumph Gold. The share of First Majestic Silver is also interesting. In the case of Varta, the risks outweigh the rewards.

    Roadmap to Production Is Set: Those Who Ignore Lahontan Gold Now May Regret It Later

    The Canadian company Lahontan Gold is steadily advancing from explorer to mine developer in Nevada. Financing is secured, drilling is underway, and the roadmap is clearly defined. Those taking a closer look now can see a pattern of disciplined execution and tangible progress. This is not a speculative bet on a geological miracle, but rather the implementation of a concrete and well-structured plan. The coming months could demonstrate that a historic mining district can indeed be transformed into a new gold producer.

    150% Opportunity and Risk at the Same Time! Kobo Resources on the Verge of Gold, TUI, easyJet, and Lufthansa Attractively Valued

    • Aviation

    With extreme volatility expected in 2026, one thing remains clear: gold serves as a portfolio stabilizer. In an environment of rising inflation, increasing interest rates, and soaring commodity prices, precious metals have performed strongly so far. Due to the Iran conflict, travel and tourism stocks in particular have come under pressure, as they are affected by weaker travel demand, tighter household budgets, and ultimately higher fuel costs. But those who look beyond the immediate horizon recognize that crises are temporary, and fear-driven valuation discounts can create medium-term buying opportunities. For risk-conscious investors, these scenarios present investment opportunities that would not be expected under normal circumstances. For instance, Deutsche Lufthansa is currently trading at around 30% below its book value, while TUI is trading at a P/E ratio of about 5. Is this irrational? In the short term, perhaps not. In the long term, however, it may well be. As the saying goes: buy when the cannons thunder.

    Is the Gold Price Falling? Buy the Dip! Why Barrick Mining, Desert Gold Ventures, and Agnico Eagle Mines Now Offer Attractive Entry Points

    Following the recent decline in the gold price, alarm bells are ringing for many investors. But those who look closely will recognize a familiar market dynamic. Every overheated rally is typically followed by a healthy consolidation phase. It is precisely this correction that may create a rare window of opportunity for strategically positioned investors, as the precious metal's fundamental upward momentum remains intact thanks to expectations of interest rate cuts and central bank purchases. Those willing to take a contrarian view at this stage could benefit disproportionately from the next recovery phase. Three industry players with different strategic profiles illustrate how current uncertainty can be transformed into potential returns: Barrick Mining, Desert Gold, and Agnico Eagle.
