Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, K+S - The big picture is right!
Does inflation hurt the stock markets? The answer is: it depends. It depends on how high it is and how long it lasts. Likewise, industries and consumers are affected quite differently. Interest rate levels also play an important role. What has been shown in the past - gold performs well during periods of high inflation. Agricultural commodities are also predicted to have a dazzling future.

SAP, Kleos Space, Software AG - Big growth predicted!
Data is an extremely important raw material in today's world and is already referred to as the new gold. Big Data, the evaluation and processing of large amounts of data using artificial intelligence, will become increasingly important in the coming years, both in society and the capital markets. The next step is the collection of big data through satellite-based earth observation. In the future, this is expected to be beneficial to humanity in terms of security, pollution, and economics. Innovative companies relying on this technology are in a huge growth market.

Defense Metals, BYD, Daimler - New development phase reached!
With the amendment of the Climate Protection Act, the German government has tightened climate protection targets and is aiming for greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045. Emissions are to be reduced by 65% compared to 1990 as early as the beginning of the next decade. One key to putting this into practice is the electrification of transport. Around 14% of newly registered vehicles had an all-electric drive in 2021. That means the proportion of e-cars on German roads almost doubled compared with the previous year. As a result, demand for the required raw materials is rising ever more markedly. Surpluses in demand can already be seen.

Infineon, BrainChip, Advanced Micro Devices - Winners of the chip boom!
Climate change, mobility change, health technology - none of these megatrends can do without semiconductors. These marvels created from the desert sand are indispensable for every kind of modern technology. If they become scarce, everyone will feel the effects. Car drivers, video gamers and Bitcoin miners have been united in their suffering in recent months: waiting times of several months because chip producers could no longer keep up with production. But one man's sorrow is another man's joy: these stocks will benefit massively from the chip boom.

Aurubis, Nevada Copper, Daimler - Copper: Fueling the mobility and climate shift
No metal represents the step into our electrical century more than copper. The reddish shimmering metal with excellent conductivity is in demand wherever electricity is concerned. Experts estimate that about three to four times as much copper needs to be installed in e-cars than in a conventional combustion engine for mid-range cars, which currently comes to about 25kg of copper. Due to the high demand, copper consumption could increase more than tenfold in the next ten years.

Valneva, Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, MorphoSys - This is where it gets exciting!
The Corona pandemic still has the world firmly in its grip. The number of new infections is skyrocketing. Nevertheless, the chances are good that the pandemic can be brought under control by means of numerous vaccines. But Corona is not the only scourge. Numerous research efforts are focused on diagnosing, treating and curing cancer. Here, innovative AI-based technologies are increasingly being used to help save lives and significantly reduce costs for the healthcare system.

Allkem, Triumph Gold, K+S - Take advantage of price setbacks!
What moves prices? When reduced to the core, it is supply and demand. So simple and yet so complicated. The forecast or anticipation of the two factors and the pricing of the future is what moves the stock market. Many developments and general conditions speak for rising commodity prices. While the prices of industrial and battery metals have been rising significantly for many quarters, the increases in precious metal prices, on the other hand, have been moderate. Where are the opportunities to take advantage of price declines?

Barrick Gold, Prospect Ridge Resources, Glencore - The starting signal has been given!
With the publication of quarterly results last week and the achievement of full-year targets, the share of the second-largest gold producer Barrick Gold was able to gain. As a result, this also boosted the entire sector. In addition, the price of gold, which has maintained the USD 1,800 mark at a level of USD 1,830, provides support. The prospects for investments in gold shares remain good.

Samsung SDI, Altech Advanced Materials, Manz - Power stocks!
How is the energy turnaround to be achieved exclusively with renewable energy generation? The sun does not shine at night, and the wind does not blow every day. The answer is energy storage. Batteries and accumulators will play an increasingly important role in the future. Whether for electric vehicles of all kinds (pedelecs, automobiles, buses) or as intermediate storage for renewable energies (at home on a small scale or in wind and solar parks on a large scale). Without new and increasingly efficient storage technologies, the world will not achieve climate neutrality. These three "power stocks" should benefit massively from this development.

Yamana Gold, MAS Gold, Newmont - Entry opportunities!
In recent months, gold stocks consolidated. The shares of the second-largest producer, Barrick Gold, were recently boosted by good quarterly data. From a historical perspective, the current price level of the precious metal can be considered high. The general conditions for rising prices are also good in the medium term. Now the sentiment for precious metal stocks could turn more positive again. These companies will certainly benefit from the next gold price rally.
