Newmont, Tocvan Ventures, Rheinmetall - The lights are green
With a weaker-than-expected fall in inflation worldwide, plus a war in Ukraine that continues to escalate, the general conditions point to a long-term rise in the gold price above its all-time high reached weeks ago. With a threatened default in the United States, another argument for a gold bull market could now be added. Be prepared.

Morphosys, Defence Therapeutics, Evotec - A lot of movement in the biotech sector
The biotech sector is on the move. On the one hand, the industry has seen an increase in mergers and acquisitions in recent months. The pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, for example, recently took over Seagan for USD 43 billion. Other companies are likely to follow suit. In addition, many companies were able to break away from their lows of the past months and have further upside potential.

Right on time for the start of the 35th Munich Capital Market Conference (MKK), the largest event for small and mid-caps in southern Germany, the sky in the Bavarian capital was bright white and blue. The positive mood was transmitted to the 400 participants who listened to 53 company presentations, including those from other European countries. Despite geopolitical uncertainties, high commodity prices and inflation levels well above target, optimism prevails in the SME sector. There is plenty of potential.

PayPal, Defiance Silver, Palantir - The rebound is firmly in sight
In the dynamic and volatile financial markets, finding investment opportunities that offer above-average returns is a constant challenge for investors. One way to achieve significant outperformance compared to the overall market is to identify promising rebound candidates that have experienced a disproportionate decline in value following weak earnings or other negative events but are likely to stage a comeback due to their business model.

Plug Power, Canadian North Resources, RWE - Critical metals as a sticking point
The dream of a climate-neutral world still exists, at least in the minds of politicians. Thus, many companies that took on the transformation of the transport and energy sectors were also given plenty of advance praise. However, there are still problems with the implementation and the leap into the profit zone. One reason for the weakening margins is the raw materials needed for the energy transition, which are still at high levels. However, due to the scarcity of many critical metals, a reduction in base prices is likely to remain a pipe dream.

The trend continues - BYD, Defense Metals, Hensoldt
In order to achieve the climate targets, both politics and business are taking a high risk. Fossil fuels are to be replaced by alternative energy sources as quickly as possible. In turn, the consumption of metallic raw materials is increasing in order to build renewable, energy-efficient systems. In addition to copper, cobalt and nickel, the demand for rare earth metals, which have to be imported almost entirely from China, is increasing dramatically. Since the start of the Ukraine war, there has also been growing demand from the defence industry. The producers of critical metals ex-China are likely to profit from this.

Strongly growing demand - Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Nio
The turn of the times and the resulting increase in military demand continue to fill the order books of defence companies worldwide. This trend will likely continue well beyond the current year due to the strategy of politicians enforcing peace with heavy weapons. Another boom that has just begun is the transformation of the transportation sector. Meeting the demand requires a significantly higher need for critical raw materials. However, the production facilities are primarily in Chinese hands. To maintain supply chains, alternatives in the Western world are fundamental.

Clear signals at BYD, Globex Mining and Plug Power
The growth rates of electric car companies continue to be enormous, as the recently published sales figures of the Chinese market leader BYD show. The trend will likely continue at least until the end of this decade. According to a forecast by Statista, there will be 116 million electric vehicles worldwide in 2030, representing an increase of 1,800% since 2020. However, the transformation of the transport sector is causing an enormous demand for industrial metals. For some critical raw materials, demand is already outstripping supply.

Analysts in full swing - Nel ASA, dynaCERT, Enphase Energy
Technology companies, in particular, had their turn last week to present their first-quarter figures to the broad investor community. The Facebook group Meta exceeded its profit forecasts, and the technology giant Microsoft also impressed with its profit and turnover. In contrast, the picture in the second tier was mixed. The battery manufacturer Varta recorded significant losses. Another stock from the renewable energy segment experienced a massive sell-off, and analysts reacted promptly.
