ThyssenKrupp, Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall - Good buying opportunities
Today, we are looking at three companies that offer good buying opportunities. For ThyssenKrupp, the recent positive news was that the unions are not demanding a 4-day workweek for the time being. Almonty Industries is benefiting from the fact that tungsten is being used in more and more new technologies. This includes the rising demand for tungsten in electric vehicle batteries. Rheinmetall could be an interesting buy candidate after the setback. Read the article to find out where the strengths of the three candidates lie.

First Phosphate, Volkswagen, Varta - Battle for battery raw materials picks up speed
The global demand for electric vehicles is steadily increasing, driving the need for battery raw materials. However, the battle for these coveted raw materials has political consequences, particularly concerning the strained relations between the US and China. The US has recognized that it is heavily dependent on China for access to key battery raw materials, which has led to tensions between the two countries. The US is working to reduce these dependencies. This is reason enough to examine three companies that rely on battery raw materials.

Nikola, Saturn Oil + Gas, BASF - A Buy in difficult times?
These are challenging times on the stock market. Central banks have not announced the end of interest rate hikes, which is poison for growth companies. In addition, extreme weather conditions are affecting the production of some companies, and there are geopolitical tensions to consider, including the ongoing Ukraine conflict and the simmering dispute between the US and China. Recently, there have also been tensions between China and Germany. Following critical statements by Foreign Minister Baerbock to China's Xi Jinping, the German ambassador was summoned. Energy shortages are becoming increasingly significant for many companies in Germany. Today, we look at three companies suffering from the problems described.

RWE, GoviEx Uranium, Plug Power - Profits with tomorrow's energy
Nuclear power has long been a controversial source of energy. However, if one wants to produce energy in a carbon-neutral way, nuclear power plants are part of the solution. Uranium is needed to operate them, and its price has recently increased significantly. It is no wonder, as there are 61 power plants in planning and 57 under construction worldwide. While some countries, such as France and China, rely heavily on nuclear power, Germany has decided to phase it out. Since then, Germany has had to import electricity, as renewable energies are not yet capable of meeting the base load. To do this, storing surplus energy would have to be possible. The solution could be green hydrogen. Therefore, we look at an energy supplier, a future uranium producer and a producer of green hydrogen.

Canopy Growth, Cantourage Group, Aurora Cannabis - Will the price fireworks come after legalization?
For a long time, there was little reason for cannabis investors to rejoice. However, since Bloomberg reported that the US Department of Health and Human Services has asked the DEA to downgrade cannabis from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3, hopes for legalization are reviving. This downgrade would mean that cannabis would no longer be on par with heroin or other hard drugs. Democrats also want to give businesses in this sector legal access to bank accounts. In Germany, the traffic lights have approved Health Minister Lauterbach's plans to legalize cannabis. We, therefore, look at three companies that are betting on cannabis.

Deutsche Bank, Globex Mining, Vonovia - What are the consequences of the ECB's latest interest rate hike?
After a long period of zero interest rate policy, the ECB is stepping up the fight against inflation and last week raised interest rates for the 10th time in a row. The effects are very different. For banks, on the one hand, profit may increase via higher interest rates, but it may also decrease if fewer loans can be made. For commodities, the rise in interest rates in Europe could lead to a stronger US dollar. However, this is rather unlikely, as interest rates in the US are still higher. For the real estate sector, rising interest rates are poison. Loans are becoming more expensive, and thus, demand for real estate is falling. Today, we look at one company from each sector.

Mercedes-Benz, Manuka Resources, Nordex - How vanadium is advancing the energy transition
Vanadium, a chemical element, plays a vital role in numerous industries, with particularly high demand in the wind energy and electric vehicle sectors. Its exceptional properties make it an ideal choice for these industries. As a metal alloy, vanadium significantly increases the strength and durability of steel, making it the perfect material for manufacturing wind turbines and electric vehicles. In addition, vanadium is used in batteries to provide higher energy density and longer life. Vanadium is, therefore, increasingly recognized as a crucial raw material for shaping the future of energy and mobility supply.

NVIDIA, Defense Metals, Alibaba - Tensions between China and the US are on the rise again
During the BRICS summit, it was announced that six new countries will join the alliance on January 1, 2024. These countries include Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Argentina, Egypt, and Ethiopia. This development might not sit well with the United States, as it could threaten the dominance of the US dollar. In addition, there are tensions with China over Taiwan. In July, the Middle Kingdom limited exports of rare earths. China has now added fuel to the fire by banning government officials from using iPhones. Before this, the US restricted exports of NVIDIA's AI chips to the Middle East. Tensions are rising, making it a good time to look at three companies affected by these developments.

BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, Bayer - Tiger mosquitoes, and rising Corona numbers bring biotech back in focus
Corona infections are already rising, even though autumn has not even begun. Hospitals are already fearing a high burden during the winter. Gerald Gaß, the Chairman of the Board of the German Hospital Federation, advised high-risk patients, their close contacts and healthcare workers to keep their flu and COVID-19 vaccinations up to date. Due to constant stress triggered by crises and workload-related pressures, the number of heart patients have also increased in recent years. At the end of August, entire neighborhoods and streets in Paris were closed off to spray insecticides against tiger mosquitoes, which spread diseases like dengue and Zika viruses, among others. This is reason enough for us to examine three companies fighting these threats.

Nel ASA, First Hydrogen, ThyssenKrupp Nucera - EUR 800 million for hydrogen in Europe
The EU is determined to advance green hydrogen in Germany, and to support this goal, the EU Hydrogen Bank was allocated EUR 800 million in March. The auction process is set to commence in November, led by the European Executive Agency for Climate, Infrastructure and Environment. Subsidy payments may go up to EUR 4.50 per kg of green hydrogen. Any entity within the European Union capable of producing a specific quantity of green hydrogen at the lowest cost is eligible to participate. By 2030, the EU wants to produce 10 million tons of green hydrogen and import about the same amount. Germany also offers substantial incentives; Sunfire GmbH from Dresden, for example, received a whopping EUR 162 million in subsidies. We therefore analyze three hydrogen companies.
