Attention: DAX dividends! Car stocks pay out: Mercedes-Benz, MS Industrie, VW and BMW
The DAX 40 index has gone into reverse gear in recent weeks. In addition to the high-tech and artificial intelligence sectors, the multi-month bull market also included defense stocks in the interim phase. There is no real reason to celebrate among automotive stocks, as an expected decline in GDP also means reduced household budgets. This translates to fewer new vehicle sales, with many electric vehicles produced in bulk occupying important showroom space from dealers for months. The pain is increasing, and those looking to sell vehicles find themselves in ruinous discount battles with cheap Chinese imports. However, there appears to be a glimmer of hope on the horizon: interest rate cuts! They are expected in the second half of the year. We analyze the current situation.

Daimler Truck, dynaCERT, Apple shares - Who are the game changers in the market?
As the demand for consumer goods continues to grow, the number of diesel trucks on the roads is also increasing. Just 1.5 years after laying the foundation stone, Daimler Truck is clearly focusing on commercial vehicles powered by battery and fuel cell technology at its site in Stuttgart-Feuerbach. Until then, bridging technologies will continue to expand. The Canadian company dynaCERT has developed a pioneering method to reduce the environmental impact of diesel trucks and HGVs. With this innovative technology, hydrogen is fed directly into the engines, resulting in significantly lower harmful emissions such as CO₂ and nitrogen oxides. This technology has already been tested worldwide and is considered a decisive step in the fight against climate change in the transportation sector. The technology can also be used in other transportation sectors, such as shipping or mining. And when it comes to the automotive industry, Apple must recognize that not everything the Cupertino-based company touches turns to gold...

Globex Mining, Rheinmetall, Fisker - Correction nearing its end
The German economy is shrinking, and there is no sign of an end to the downward spiral in the current year. Only the defense industry, which was dubbed socially harmful before the Ukraine conflict, is acting as a growth engine, with shares in the sector rushing from one high to the next. The growing and likely continuing demand for defense goods is increasing the need for critical metals. After a prolonged correction, copper, lithium, and others may now have completed their bottoming out.

Desert Gold Ventures, Amazon, Volkswagen - Commodities in hot demand, while big tech and Automotive in a nosedive
The new stock market year is starting with a strong pole position for commodities and companies like Desert Gold Ventures, which is looking for gold in Mali. Mali is the third-largest gold-producing country in the world. Desert Gold Ventures' 'SMSZ Project' already surrounds 6 active gold mines, and drilling for 2023 is secured. Things remain shaky for big tech companies like Amazon and automotive like Volkswagen. Can the past Christmas sales bring Amazon's once largest pillar back into the black? Will the Wolfsburg-based company recapture its market power through restructuring in procurement?

Chip industry booming: What are Mercedes partners BrainChip, Nvidia and Infineon doing?
Chip stocks are having a hard time at the moment, although the market is undersupplied and will probably remain so for some time. This was also highlighted by figures from semiconductor equipment supplier ASML. Orders at the world's largest supplier of lithography systems to semiconductor manufacturers were around EUR 7 billion in the first three months of 2022, well above market expectations. In addition, ASML has indicated targets through 2025. The Company intends to expand production capacities in view of the high demand. Mercedes partner BrainChip should also benefit from these positive industry prospects. And, of course, industry heavyweights such as Nvidia and Infineon.

NEL ASA, Tesla, dynaCERT: A lot is happening in the automotive sector
German premium manufacturers have sold more cars again. Strong sales in China and catch-up results have brought BMW, Audi, and Daimler rising deliveries and sales in the third quarter. However, the Mercedes brand received tailwind mainly from the domestic market. Overall, sales climbed 3.9% to 613,770 vehicles in the last three months. But, nine-month sales are still down almost 10% as a result of the First Half 2020 slump in unit sales due to the corona-related lockdown. Nevertheless, the three big players are leaving the deep corona hole behind for the time being, as the figures published on Wednesday and Tuesday show. Overall, BMW fared best, with the Munich-based company and its subsidiary Mini, achieving sales of 675,680 cars between July and September - an increase of 8.6% over the same period last year. The main driver was a strong business in Asia. BMW also achieved a 7.1% increase in Europe. The USA and North America, on the other hand, remained clearly in the red. It is good to hear that the bottom is likely to be in our rearview mirror!
