Rheinmetall, Kleos Space, Palantir - Is the Ukraine war spreading?

  • Space
  • Defense
  • Technology

On July 27, the NATO Defense College presented a report warning of an attack by Russia on a NATO ally. According to the report, Russia could establish a military buffer zone. Initially, this would primarily affect countries of the former Soviet Union, first and foremost Moldova. In addition, analysts assume that Russia has not yet demonstrated its full military strength in Ukraine and can also quickly compensate for current losses. If the assumptions are correct, the war will continue for a while. We therefore take a look at three companies that should benefit.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Valneva - Will biotech stocks continue to rally in the fall?

  • Biotechnology
  • Covid19
  • Cancer

The NASDAQ Biotechnology Index formed a double bottom in mid-June and has since rallied, breaking the downtrend. However, there is still over 32% potential to the past highs. The highs are due in part to the sales from the Corona Crisis, but even though currently the issue is not as present despite higher case numbers, that could change in the fall. The new Protection Against Infection Act provides for mask-wearing and further vaccinations. The profits from these sales are often invested in the development of new therapies, such as cancer research. These areas hold a lot of potential for rising share prices. We take a closer look at three biotech companies.

Infineon, BrainChip, Nvidia - Chip shortage will continue in 2022

  • AI
  • Technology
  • Digitization
  • chips

The chip shortage is not only omnipresent in the automotive industry. Most recently, AOK was no longer able to issue electronic health cards to its policyholders because the chips were missing. According to McKinsey, the semiconductor industry is expected to grow by 6-8% annually until 2030. Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan could further fuel the chip crisis in the future. It is important to know that the island nation produces about two-thirds of all microchips needed worldwide. There is a latent danger that China will want to annex Taiwan. The USA is already trying to make itself less dependent on Asia. To that end, a USD 369 billion semiconductor manufacturing stimulus bill has been passed by Congress. Today we look at three companies that will benefit from the investment.

Alpha Copper, Nordex, Volkswagen - Has the copper price found its bottom?

  • Mining
  • Copper
  • Electromobility

On July 15, the copper price briefly traded below USD 7,000 per ton. Since then, the price has risen strongly again to over USD 7,800 per ton. Copper has the reputation of being a leading indicator for the economy, as the metal is used in almost all industrial sectors and electrical products. Fears of a recession have been present in the markets for some time, driven by inflation and recently rising interest rates. Added to this is the zero-Covid policy of the Chinese, which leads to falling demand from commodity-hungry China. The latest statements by FED Chairman Jerome Powell give the markets hope that the worst is over. The copper price so far confirms this view.

Barrick Gold, Tocvan Ventures, Newmont - Gold stocks facing a renaissance?

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • Silver
  • Copper

The strong dollar has weighed on the gold price in recent weeks. However, the strength of the US dollar is rather a weakness of the euro. While the FED raised interest rates to fight inflation, the ECB hesitated. While the ECB recently raised interest rates by 50 basis points, it was 75 in the US. In addition, the energy crisis in Europe, especially Germany, is putting additional pressure on the euro. For US exports, this is not good news. Therefore, the markets gratefully accepted Jerome Powell's statements. The chairman of the FED wants to slow down the pace of interest rate increases. The gold price also jumped in response. We look at three companies that should benefit from a rising gold price.

K+S, Globex Mining, Barrick Gold - Has the bottom been reached for commodity stocks?

  • Gold
  • Commodities
  • fertilizer

Recession fears have had a grip on the commodities sector in recent weeks. Copper was quoted below USD 7,000 per ton again for the first time. Two other factors create additional pressure. First, there is the strong dollar. The last interest rate hikes failed to lower the inflation rate. At the same time, the strong USD is making raw materials more expensive, which has led to a drop in demand. On the other hand, the zero-Covid policy in China is slowing demand. Nevertheless, the outlook for commodity stocks is good. At the moment, many companies are taking a wait-and-see approach because of the uncertainties. If the recession does not materialize, prices will soon rise again. The three companies we are taking a closer look at today will also benefit from this.

Rock Tech Lithium, Edison Lithium, Standard Lithium - Demand for lithium is increasing faster than supply

  • Lithium
  • Electromobility

At an industry workshop on lithium price and supply risks hosted by the German Raw Materials Agency, it quickly became clear that lithium is facing a bottleneck. Demand in 2030 is expected to be between 316,000 and 558,000 metric tons of lithium. By comparison, only 82,000 tons were produced in 2020. The target of 15 million electric cars on Germany's roads is thus at risk. The Handelsblatt recently referred to calculations by the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources, which clearly show that there will not be enough lithium. Therefore, we take a look at three companies from the lithium sector that will benefit from the high demand.

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - The right time to enter oil stocks?

  • Oil
  • greenhydrogen

Since mid-June, the oil price has been on a downward slide. On the one hand, there are concerns about a recession. On the other hand, OPEC has increased the production volume by more than 600,000 barrels per day, at least until the end of August, in order to compensate for the loss of production by Russia. That increases the amount of oil produced worldwide because even Russia is still selling its oil to countries that have not joined the sanctions. So why are analysts like Goldman Sachs still bullish on oil? For one thing, the Ukraine conflict seems to be lingering. Also, China's zero-Covid strategy is currently far from its regular demand. If the Chinese government changes its approach, the oil price will continue to rise in the long term, also due to a lack of investment by oil multinationals.

  • metamaterials

These are currently rough times on the stock market. Almost all segments are under pressure, and even investments with long-term prospects are trading at significant discounts. In many areas, the fear of a recession is great, but on the other hand, inflation is eating up money. Gold currently offers no protection against inflation and is looking for its bottom. So really, only stocks remain as an investment. It is important to find companies that will do good business in the future, even if the current situation does not look rosy. Nobody knows where the bottom will be formed, but you can start to build up first positions. Today we have picked out three stocks to build on in the long term.

Pathfinder Ventures, TUI, Lufthansa - Which leisure share has the greatest potential?

  • leisure
  • travel
  • Camping
  • Investments

The sun is shining, an increasing number of German states are starting school vacations, and despite a summer corona wave, travel is finally possible again. After a 2 year Corona break, the desire to travel is greater than it has been for a long time. The shares of companies that make their living from tourism should profit from this. But at the moment, the mood is rather gloomy. On the one hand, there is inflation, which forces people to save, but if you have enough money to travel, there can still be complications at the airport. Today we look at three companies that make a living from tourism and see which stock has the greatest potential.
