Square Inc., CoinAnalyst, Coinbase - The crypto wave is unstoppable!
Corona and cryptocurrencies seem to have one thing in common: The next wave is coming as surely as the amen in church. All kinds of positive decisions around the best-known cryptocurrency were recently reported. Countries such as El Salvador, where Bitcoin is now recognized as an official means of payment, Argentina and the EU had decided numerous facilitations for Bitcoin investors. And also, the extension of the term of FED chief Jerome Powell provided a positive mood. Now, however, the news of the new Corona variant, Omicron, ended the renewed price rally for the time being. Time to prepare for the next run and look at a few promising companies that should benefit massively.

Saturn Oil + Gas, BP, Gazprom - Buy when the guns are thundering?
The possible impact of a new Corona variant led to significant declines in the stock markets at the end of last week. The German benchmark index lost around 1000 points within just 2 weeks. Oil and gas stocks have been hit particularly hard in recent days. The oil price lost last on a single day 11-12%. The development thus prices in, among other things, travel restrictions, lockdowns and a cooling of the economy. The tapping of strategic oil reserves, which US President Biden recently announced, plays a psychological role in the big picture in supply and demand. Much more exciting is what OPEC will soon say about its production plans. Where are the opportunities now?

Among other things, the focus is on the efficient storage of electrical energy produced without emissions. According to current research, certain raw materials will be indispensable for this purpose, including lithium, manganese and cobalt in addition to copper, silver and gold.

Kinross Gold, Troilus Gold, Endeavour Silver - US inflation boosts gold price
6.2% p.a. - The highest inflation figures for more than 30 years in the US has again prompted investors to stock up on the crisis currency gold. With a price of more than USD 1,860 per fine ounce, the 200-day moving average was overcome, and thus a significant mark was broken. How the gold price will continue will be decided not least by the upcoming publication of the consumer confidence index, inflation expectations and the reaction of the FED. However, one thing is certain: mining stocks can only benefit from the positive gold price development.
