BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Sartorius - Takeover fever in the biotech sector
In the past year, the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index took a severe beating until mid-June. In the meantime, an initial upward trend has developed, and the market is slowly heating up again because some biotech companies are still valued too cheaply. This is when the big players strike, such as Merck & Co, which recently bought Prometheus Biosciences for USD 10.8 billion. The buyer thus paid a premium of a whopping 75% on the previous day's closing price. The biotech start-up Tubulis has also agreed on a collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibb that could bring more than USD 1 billion into the Munich-based company's coffers. Reason enough to take a look at three companies from the pharmaceutical and biotech sector.

Nel ASA, First Hydrogen, Volkswagen - Funding paves the way for green hydrogen
After the USD 750 billion US climate package, the European Union followed suit with the Green Deal Industrial Plan to remain competitive. At the end of March, the "EU Renewable Energy Directive" was rewritten with the goal of sourcing 45% of total power from renewables by 2030. This will add more speed to the expansion of renewable energies, which will ultimately also help hydrogen technology. The more green electricity is available, the cheaper green hydrogen becomes. At least EUR 100 billion are to be made available as subsidies by 2030. Today we look at 3 companies that could benefit from the subsidies.

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - Oil shares against inflationary pressure
The oil price has been rising for about a month. The trigger was the decision of OPEC+ to cut its production by 1 million barrels per day. The demand for oil is increasing in China as the lockdown measures are being eased and the economy is gaining momentum. In addition, US inventories continue to decline. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects record demand in 2023, with demand rising by 2 million barrels per day year-on-year while supply falls by 400,000 barrels. As a result, oil prices could reignite inflation. Investors who want to protect themselves against this could invest in oil stocks. We, therefore, take a look at 3 oil companies.

dynaCERT, Daimler Truck, Plug Power - Into the future with hydrogen solutions
We are at the beginning of a new era of sustainability and efficiency. The consumption of fossil fuels in Western industrial nations is to be significantly reduced in the coming years. However, alternatives are needed. The future of energy supply could lie in hydrogen. Using electrolysis, water is broken down into its components: oxygen and hydrogen. The clean fuel produced can then be used directly or stored to produce electricity when needed. If renewable energy sources are used to produce green hydrogen, there will be no CO2 emissions. Today we look at three companies using hydrogen technology for their products.

Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD - Which Greentech stocks are poised for a boom?
Greentech focuses on technologies and solutions that protect the environment and are sustainable. Since the car industry wants to focus on electric mobility in the future, a race for the best battery has begun. With new technologies, electricity storage systems can be built to store surplus renewable energy instead of letting it go to waste. Electric vehicles have gained popularity through continuous development as they can be used to get around with zero emissions. Growth opportunities are plentiful in this segment. We, therefore, take a look at three companies in the sector.

Deutsche Bank, Desert Gold, Barrick Gold - Gold price on the way to an all-time high
After the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and the rescue of Credit Suisse through the merger with UBS, the great trembling has begun. In the 2008 financial crisis, the FED fired up the printing press to stabilize the banks. In order to avoid inflation, the banks were paid to park their money with the FED. Thus, there is USD 5.7 trillion at the FED, on which interest of more than USD 700 million is due every day. That drives up the money supply and inflation. It is no wonder that alternatives to fiat money are booming. The gold price is already above USD 2,000, and cryptocurrencies have also rebounded. We, therefore, look at two gold companies and analyze Deutsche Bank.

BioNTech, BioNxt Solutions, Bayer - The big one is only a matter of time
The biotech and pharmaceutical industry is currently in a constant state of flux, driven by the introduction of new technologies and the fight against global health problems. Producing medicines and therapies to alleviate diseases is of great value to people's health. Against the backdrop of an ageing population in industrialised nations, the sector will continue to be of great importance. A particular focus is on inventing advanced technologies to fight diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Today we look at three companies in the biotech and pharma sector.

BASF, Almonty Industries, Plug Power - The world is in upheaval
The Western world wants to break away from fossil fuels. These efforts have intensified since the Ukraine conflict. Europe, in particular, has realised how dependent it was on gas supplies from Russia. Globally, however, there is also a dependence on China for certain raw materials. This could be one of the reasons for the tensions between the USA and China, in addition to the conflict over Taiwan. The BRICS countries Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa have moved closer together in the last year and want to establish their own currency. With Iran, Argentina, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Algeria, six more countries are interested in joining. The world is in a state of upheaval. Therefore, we look at three companies that are part of it.

Defense Metals, Rock Tech Lithium, BYD - Shares for the energy transition
The energy transition is a major challenge for the world, as it requires transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy. In order to switch to renewable energies in the long term, large quantities of critical raw materials such as rare earths and lithium are needed. However, these raw materials are important not only for the energy transition but also for numerous other applications in modern industry. Rare earths are particularly important for the production of powerful magnets used in electric motors and generators. Lithium, on the other hand, is an essential component of lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Today, we look at three companies that can help drive the energy transition.
