Almonty Industries, ThyssenKrupp, Volkswagen - Tungsten: The raw material for high-tech applications!
Tungsten is a rare and valuable metal with a high melting point, hardness, corrosion resistance and good electrical and thermal conductivity. It is widely used in industry, national defence and high-tech applications. An important use of tungsten is in alloys, especially steel, where it increases the melting point, hardness and wear resistance. Now applications could be expanded even further. Researchers have developed a cathode material made from a molybdenum tungsten niobate alloy that can be used to charge electric cars in minutes.

K+S, Alerio Gold, American Lithium - Which commodity stocks offer the most potential in the supercycle?
Commodities will outperform the other major asset classes, equities, bonds and currencies, in the new year. Goldman Sachs has been predicting a commodities supercycle for some time. Of course, not all commodities will perform equally well. There is a supply problem in some areas. In the US, for example, experts are critical of corn or soybean inventories. Therefore, we look at three companies and shed light on whether the commodity produced could experience a boom in 2023.

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - Is a new price cap for Russian oil coming?
The price cap of USD 60 for a barrel of Russian oil has been in place for just over a month. According to high-ranking diplomats from both countries, Poland and Lithuania already want to lower the current maximum price once again. It is not yet clear whether the sanctions will actually have any effect. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Novak said Russia had no export problems despite the sanctions. Positive signals for oil came from the US, as inflation continues to weaken and inflation expectations also fell for the fourth month straight. In addition, according to energy traders, demand from China and Europe is picking up. We, therefore, take a closer look at three oil producers.

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Newmont - Gold shares on the rise
Gold and gold mining stocks are in demand again, and the chances are good that the trend will continue. The US dollar was solid last year, weakening demand for the yellow metal, but recently the currency lost value. In addition, there are signs of an easing of the FED's interest rate policy, as inflation in the US has already fallen significantly to 7.1%. Central banks are buying gold in large quantities, which also positively impacts the gold price. The bottom line is that the outlook for gold is brightening considerably. Reason enough to take a closer look at three gold companies.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Bayer - Is a Corona tsunami imminent?
At the beginning of December, things were quiet concerning Corona. The feared wave failed to materialize, and there were no new variants. On December 7, China announced a relaxation of Corona measures. Now the country is facing a gigantic Corona wave. Many European countries have already imposed mandatory testing for entry from China. Germany has now followed suit. In parallel, the Consumer Electronics Show 2023 ran from the 5th to the 8th in Las Vegas, where all kinds of companies from all over the world presented their latest technology. Chinese companies also exhibited there. Because of the multitude of infections, new deadly mutations could emerge. As a result, pharmaceutical and biotech companies are coming back into focus.

Nel ASA, dynaCERT, Plug Power - The future of sustainable energy is now!
The hydrogen market is an integral part of the energy transition, as hydrogen is a clean alternative to fossil fuels. A wide range of applications are possible with hydrogen. Now that Germany is giving up Russian gas, independence from other gas suppliers is also the goal. Saxony-Anhalt's Chairman of the Conference of Energy Ministers, Armin Willingmann, is therefore calling for the industrial production of green hydrogen. With the expansion of renewable energies, the storage of surplus electricity as green hydrogen is a sensible solution. We, therefore, take a look at three companies that have developed their products around hydrogen.

Amazon, Aspermont, TeamViewer - Which stock will take off fastest in 2023?
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted the global economy, and investors have had to consider a host of new risks and opportunities. One phenomenon that has emerged from the crisis is a shift in demand toward digital business models. Digital companies were already present in the market before the pandemic, but their growth has gone through the roof since the pandemic. With the endemic in 2022, growth has often slowed. We take a look at three companies that could bounce back in 2023.

Barrick Gold, Globex Mining, Rio Tinto - Commodity supercycle continues in 2023
2022 was the year of energy commodities. Goldman Sachs expects commodities to continue to deliver the best returns for investors in 2023, with increases of over 40%. Goldman Sachs has been predicting a commodity supercycle since late 2020. In 2023, the price of Brent crude oil is forecast to rise to USD 105 per barrel in the last quarter, and the price of copper is forecast to rise from around USD 8,400 to USD 10,050 per ton. The main argument is the low level of investment in the commodity sector, which is unlikely to meet demand. Therefore, today we look at three companies from the commodity sector.

Auxico Resources, BYD, Nordex - Energy transition in danger: shortage of critical raw materials
The energy transition, i.e. the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon and renewable energy supply, is an important step in combating the climate crisis. However, some critical raw materials are needed for the expansion of renewable energies and whose scarcity can pose a threat to the energy transition. These include, for example, rare earths, cobalt and lithium, which are used in the manufacture of solar panels, wind turbines and electric cars. In this context, one should not underestimate the current dependence on China, which has a monopoly position, especially in rare earths. We therefore take a look at three companies around the energy transition.

Kodiak Copper, Volkswagen, Nordex - Copper price rises due to positive news from China!
In mid-July, the copper price marked its low for the year. Since then, a slight upward trend has formed, indicating a robust economy. There are as many as three positive signals for copper. First, there is the weakness of the dollar, which is supporting demand for the red gold. Second, China's announcement that it plans to strengthen its economy after easing Corona measures is providing a boost. If China eases its monetary policy, this would strengthen the real estate sector and fuel the hunger for commodities. Third, M&A activity around copper appears to be increasing. Therefore, we look at three companies in the copper space.
