Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Newmont - Eyes are on the FED
On Wednesday, September 21, the FED is expected to raise interest rates again. After the poor inflation rates in the past week, the fear of a large interest rate step of 100 basis points is going around. The indices reacted immediately and priced in the possible rate hike. So did the gold price, which has been suffering from rising interest rates and the strong dollar for weeks anyway. It does not help that gold has long been considered a hedge against inflation. The precious metal cannot currently take on this function, but that could change if the expectation of Stanley Druckenmiller, a billionaire and former hedge fund manager, is correct that the stock markets will hardly yield any returns in the next 10 years. So today, we look at three gold companies.

TUI, Almonty Industries, Bayer - Rebound after the sell-off?
Since September 8, the DAX has gained over 700 points despite inflation, a halt in Russian gas supplies and fears of recession. Inflation was 7.9% in August. The ECB's interest rate hike seems to have reassured many investors. The question remains whether the indices will again move to new highs. The S&P has broken its downward trend channel on a daily basis. No uptrend has been formed yet, but as long as the last lows are not broken again, it will continue to go up according to the chart technique. We therefore take a look at three companies that were recently sold off strongly and see whether there could be a sustainable rebound.

Plug Power, Meta Materials, Palantir - Depot booster through growth stocks
The stock market environment for growth stocks has clouded over significantly. Rising inflation, growing interest rates and fears of a recession are causing uncertainty among investors. If, as many experts suspect, inflation is significantly curbed in 2023, the headwind for growth stocks should ease. The first investors are already speculating on this. They are taking advantage of the opportunity to add growth stocks to their portfolios, which will then take off again in the future. As an investor, it is important to ask yourself whether you are prepared to hold a stock for at least 10 years. After all, it often takes a long time to become a stock market star that generates high profits. Today we look at three companies that have what it takes to bring joy to their shareholders in the future.

Defense Metals, Thyssenkrupp, Rheinmetall - New problems with critical raw materials
Many people are currently suffering from high energy costs, which are also affecting companies. Some of their products are becoming significantly more expensive as a result. Added to this is the smoldering trade conflict between the USA and China. Most recently, Nvidia was no longer allowed to export two of its chips to China. China and Russia are rich in raw materials and, in some cases, have a monopoly. There are already many critical metals whose demand can currently only be met by China. The most important of these are rare earths, over 90% of which are processed in China. The EU and the US are trying to become more independent but are encountering new problems. The critical metals industry urgently needs new skilled workers. In many companies, experienced engineers have long since reached retirement age. There is an acute need for action here.

Edison Lithium, Rock Tech Lithium, BYD - Shares of the entire lithium value chain
Since all car companies have entered the e-mobility market, the demand for batteries for electric vehicles has skyrocketed. An all-out battle has broken out for the components needed for this, which is reflected above all in the price of lithium. While the price was around USD 5,000 per ton at the end of 2020, it was most recently quotes around USD 73,000. Experts even consider further price increases up to USD 100,000 possible because demand is significantly higher than supply. The German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources also comes to this conclusion. The lithium market promises to remain exciting in the coming years. Therefore, today we look at three companies along the value chain.

BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, Formycon - Biotech stocks about to make a comeback?
Fears of a recession have recently pushed the markets down again. Those who want to bet on crisis-proof investments should look at biotech stocks.

TUI, Viva Gold, Steinhoff - Bombed-out shares with doubling potential
August 26 was another black Friday on the stock markets. All indices suffered heavy losses. The reason was the speech by US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, in which he declared the FED's intention to let interest rates rise further to fight inflation. That, in turn, puts the ECB under pressure because the strength of the US dollar ensures rising export figures, but at the same time, everything within the EU is more expensive that has to be paid in USD. For example, the gold price also came under immediate pressure on Friday. It is a good time to look at second-tier stocks, which have been under a lot of pressure lately and are therefore cheap. We look at the strengths and weaknesses of three interesting stocks.

BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Varta - Is hydrogen displacing e-mobility?
Chancellor Scholz was in Canada with Economics Minister Habeck to secure gas and hydrogen for the future. According to CEO Oliver Zipse, BMW is looking into series production of hydrogen cars. These are alarm signals for the producers of batteries for electric vehicles. Until recently, the electric drive was the preferred option in the passenger car market. The disadvantages are the long charging times, the low range and safety aspects. The hydrogen drive can score points, especially in terms of charging times. If the electric drive is to maintain its lead, the batteries in electric cars must become more efficient. Today, we look at three companies trying to solve the problems of rechargeable batteries.

Precious metals producer Manuka Resources facing transformation, what are Barrick Gold and Newmont doing?
The precious metals gold and silver were able to start a rally with the beginning of the Ukraine crisis. With high inflation rates, gold was supposed to be the safe haven, but the strength of the US dollar and interest rate hikes pushed the gold price back down. Additionally, according to Wirtschaftswoche, Ukraine sold USD 12.4 billion worth of gold, more than the country officially owned. However, since gold bounced up at the important USD 1,680 level and was also able to break the downtrend line, now might be the time for gold. Today we look at the two big players, as well as an emerging precious metals producer.

ProSiebenSat.1 Media, Aspermont, Netflix - Is the turnaround in media stocks coming?
Since the fear of recession has been spreading, media shares have been under pressure. The assumption is that when the recession comes, companies will cut costs, and cutting marketing costs is the easiest way to do that. That means less advertising revenue for the media. Yet a company should advertise precisely when things are going badly. But this wisdom from business administration and marketing courses has still not arrived in many executive suites. But the price declines in many media stocks can also offer attractive entry opportunities. Today, we take a closer look at three companies in the sector.
