The start of the week in Germany has been mixed. At 15,937 points, the German benchmark index DAX is almost unchanged from the close of trading last Friday. No impulses are expected from the U.S. today, as the stock market there remains closed for the holiday. The MDAX last traded at 34,667 points (+0.24%), TecDAX at 3,563 points (+0.53%) and SDAX at 15,872 points with 0.07% in the red. Detached from the indices, investors have special opportunities today in individual stocks.

    Bet on a reverse movement?

    Unilever is one of the heavyweights on the stock exchange and, with 4,900 executed orders, is at the top of the most traded shares on Tradegate. The share is currently trading at EUR 44.055, down 6.56%. Those who bet on falling prices at the beginning of that trade were able to achieve a good performance, as the share starts the day at EUR 47.20. The share of BioNTech is also lighter today and was last quoted EUR 169.30 about 1.5% in the red. With over 4,000 executions, the stock ranks second most active company on Tradegate today.

    More than one million ounces of gold creates stability

    Canadian gold company Desert Gold Ventures surprised the market today with a positive announcement. The company has identified deposits of approximately 1.07 million ounces of gold on its lands in previous exploration and drilling programs - split into Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 310,300 ounces and Inferred Mineral Resources of 769,200 ounces of Gold.

    Desert Gold’s President & CEO Jared Scharf commented, “The publication of this initial Mineral Resource is a significant milestone for the Company and represents a great starting point. We believe, that with more drilling, the Company will be able to significantly expand on these resources and develop new resource areas like the Gourbassi North West discovery. We expect a busy 2022 as we work towards a 20,000 metre plus drill program with high expectations of the results.”

    Desert Gold's shares are up 3.96% to EUR 0.1025. The market capitalization is currently EUR 15 million, hard to imagine that the valuation will remain so low permanently.

    In an inflationary environment, investors are looking for stability. What could be better suited than equity investments that pay high dividends and also follow sustainable principles? RE Royalties operates a successful business model that combines both ideas. The travel industry has also been trying to reduce its carbon footprint for years. How far have efforts to bring about a fundamental change come? TUI, Lufthansa, and Airbus showed decent returns in 2025. But what does the future hold?

    GOLD or SILVER? Both? Barrick Mining, First Majestic Silver, and Silver North Resources in focus!

    Gold and silver are not taking a break just before Christmas. The prices of precious metals are rising and rising. For silver, some experts' price target of USD 100 no longer seems unrealistic. First Majestic Silver's stock has performed even better. There is little choice among silver producers, and prices seem to be running hot. A shift to explorers in the coming year would come as no surprise. Silver North Resources is entering the new year with full coffers and positive results and aims to resume drilling as soon as possible. The Company is active in legally secure Canada, and its shares are attractive for investors. Those who missed the opportunity to invest in Barrick Mining in 2025 missed out on a threefold increase in value. The Company is also likely to have a few surprises in store in 2026. Perhaps even a hostile takeover?

    Spectacular gains in 2025: Almonty up 8x, Rheinmetall up 2x - is TKMS next? Let profits run?

    Commodity stocks and defense shares were among investors' favorites in 2025. Rheinmetall shares have more than doubled this year and have even increased tenfold since the outbreak of the war between Russia and Ukraine. An especially impressive rally was delivered by Almonty Industries, whose share price rose eightfold. The signs continue to point to growth, as the Company has key unique selling points and significant geopolitical relevance in the supply of strategic metals that are urgently needed in the West and are essential for the defense industry and high-tech sector. The necessary security of supply is also attracting governments as buyers. The development of stock market newcomer TKMS is also exciting. The order books of the manufacturer of submarines and naval vessels are filling up. The motto for these stocks in 2026 is: stay on board.
