BASF, MAS Gold, Plug Power - Shares with great turnaround potential
The Fear & Greed Index is down to 11, which means nothing other than extreme fear. And there are many areas causing headaches for investors. There is the Ukraine crisis, inflation, rising interest rates in the US, supply chain problems due to zero-COVID policies in China, and fear of recession. However, the S&P has formed a double bottom last week, which raises hope for a turnaround in the markets. Due to the crises, there are currently also opportunities again. We take a look at three potential turnaround candidates.

Barrick Gold, Barsele Minerals, Newmont - Gold stocks are under pressure
With the start of the Ukraine crisis, the gold price rallied and came close to all-time highs. However, gold was then subsequently sold off again. The reason could be that the Russian currency is backed by gold. If one wants to sanction Russia, one must care for a falling gold price. If Russia lacks money, it would have to sell its gold, which would also put pressure on the gold price. The second theory is contradicted by the fact that the Russian central bank continued to buy gold at the end of March, albeit below the market price. The situation on the gold market should relax when the Ukraine conflict ends. Therefore, it is now time to look for the right gold company.

Varta, Nevada Copper, E.ON - Shares for the electrification of tomorrow
More and more people are gaining access to electricity. In order to make this possible, copper is needed because this industrial metal is the best conductor of electricity. Due to the upheaval in the energy industry towards renewable energies and the electrification of vehicles, demand is increasing. Supply cannot keep pace. Although 2021 copper production has increased by 2.2%, it is only 0.3% above the pre-Corona level. That explains the significant increase in copper prices, and we can expect a supply deficit in 2022 as well. We look at three companies for the electrification of tomorrow.

BYD, First Hydrogen, Daimler Truck - Shares for the transportation of tomorrow
The transportation industry is on the verge of a radical change. According to a study by Bain & Company, every second vehicle will no longer require diesel as early as 2025. But while it is a done deal that the future of passenger cars belongs to the e-car sector, the outcome in the transport industry is still open. Yet freight transport is responsible for a large proportion of emissions. The problem is the heavy batteries, which still cause performance losses and longer charging times. Hydrogen can score points, especially in terms of charging times, and offers high fuel cell efficiency. Today, we take a look at three stocks for tomorrow's transportation.

Barrick Gold, Edgemont Gold, Rio Tinto - Are gold stocks taking off again?
With the start of the Ukraine crisis, the gold price skyrocketed, but since March 8, we find ourselves in a consolidation. The 200-day line is currently holding, and it could go up again from here. But let's look at the reasons for the weakness in the gold price. On the one hand, there is the strong dollar, which naturally puts pressure on the gold price, and on the other hand, bond yields in the US are climbing again. After the FED announced on May 4 that it would not raise interest rates by more than 0.5 percentage points, which was originally feared, the gold price jumped again. Demand for physical gold remains high. We look at three companies in the gold sector.

K+S, Globex Mining, BHP Group - Commodity stocks for the next supercycle
Decarbonization is taking its toll. If you want to get out of fossil fuels, you need alternatives. But these alternatives require raw materials, some of which are not available in sufficient quantities. The result is rising prices. Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo see commodities at the beginning of a supercycle, which means that the rally in commodities will last longer than 10 years. Tight supply is now further torpedoed by the Ukraine crisis and supply chain problems visible in China's ports. It is terrible for the industry but good for commodity producers. Today we look at three companies that could benefit from a supercycle.

Standard Lithium, Power Nickel, Varta - Shares for the e-mobility of the future
Decarbonization is a done deal among the major industrialized nations. Fossil fuels are to be used less and less, thus reducing emissions. The climate targets can only be achieved through a show of strength. The revolution began in early 2021 when the major car companies said goodbye to internal combustion engines. The future belongs to electric vehicles, which rely on batteries or rechargeable batteries. Since then, the prices for lithium, nickel and the like have skyrocketed. Smaller companies that want to take advantage of the imbalance in supply and demand also benefit from this. Today, we take a look at three companies that could be important for the mobility of the future.

wallstreet:online, Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank - Which financial stocks belong in the portfolio?
Rising inflation is putting pressure on central banks. If one wants to fight inflation, interest rates must rise. While the interest rate turnaround has been initiated in the US, Europe does not want to act yet. If interest rates in Europe remain at the current level, everyone should invest their money to at least partially cushion inflation. If interest rates rise, the banks will benefit. In particular, the two large German banks have suffered from the low interest rate policy. Today, we look at three financial stocks and analyze which stocks belong in the portfolio.

Nordex, Triumph Gold, Varta - Which shares are coming through the current crisis well?
The current market environment is anything but easy. Inflation is galloping, and while the US is gradually raising interest rates, the EU is exercising restraint and hoping that inflation will fall on its own. However, this scenario is more than questionable, especially since the exit from Russian energy imports is additionally fueling inflation. In addition, there is the Ukraine crisis. The conflict has blocked the land route from China to Europe, leading to supply chain problems. The only options left are by air, which is not economical in most cases, or by sea. Due to China's Zero-Covid policy, further major delays for shipping are currently occurring at their ports. Today, we look at three companies and analyze who should do well through the crisis.

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - Oil shares in focus after the French election
The EU wants to tighten Russia sanctions further. Oil and coal imports are to be stopped. According to Annalena Baerbock, it should be ready by the end of the year. But will it stay that way? At the moment, it has not yet been possible to bring an immediate import stop, also in order not to endanger the election in France. The duel between Macron and Le Pen is too close, and the challenger could use further price explosions in the energy sector to her advantage. JPMorgan sees the oil price at USD 185 if the EU immediately stops its imports. Once the election is over, the full import ban could come. France's Finance Minister LeMaire recently said that an EU ban on Russian oil is underway. We look at three beneficiaries of rising oil prices.
