Nel ASA, dynaCERT, Plug Power - Hydrogen in greater demand than ever before
The switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources was already decided in order to drive climate change. With the Ukraine conflict and Russia's invasion, "freedom energies" are gaining even more weighty significance and have now become a matter of national security. Great hopes are pinned on green hydrogen, which is seen as a big piece of the puzzle for the green transformation. Since the beginning of the decade, shares in these sectors have been regarded as the new stars on the stock market. In the meantime, many have fallen again and reduced the horrendous overvaluations. Now the industry is facing a new wave.

Rheinmetall, Triumph Gold, K+S - Hype or sustainable?
Already during the Corona pandemic, clear winners and losers could be identified. Vaccine manufacturers multiplied, and companies related to online trading also performed better than the market. In the current Ukraine crisis, however, the signs are changing. Suddenly, defense stocks, which were frowned upon a short time ago, are all the rage. Fertilizer companies, benefiting from the sanctions and the resulting supply shortages, are also gaining favor with investors. But how sustainable are the current increases? Gold mining stocks are also doing very well, but in contrast to Rheinmetall, Hensoldt & Co., they are performing much weaker.

BYD, Nevada Copper, XPeng - New opportunities for copper shares
After a brilliant year on the stock market in 2021 and reaching new 10-year highs, the copper price reached new highs again at the beginning of March, after the start of the Ukraine conflict. Since then, the base price has been correcting at a high level. However, due to the plan of politicians to practice an even faster switch to renewable energies, the demand for the elementary red metal is increasing significantly. Experts forecast a new supercycle for the next few years. Producers of the scarce commodity are the primary beneficiaries of this trend.

BASF, Meta Materials, NIO - New opportunities through the correction
Whether the old stock market rule "Sell in May and go away" still applies this year is at least doubtful. The DAX and S&P 500 benchmark indices have lost more than 10% since the beginning of the year. The Nasdaq technology segment was hit harder, losing more than 20%. Concerns about further interest rate hikes, the threat of stagflation and uncertainties regarding the Ukraine conflict are causing investors to go on a buyers' strike in some cases. Nevertheless, there are good long-term, anticyclical entry opportunities at current levels.

BioNTech, NervGen, Sanofi - The rebound is on the way
Uncertainties remain. Admittedly, infection figures are falling in the Corona pandemic and should ensure a quiet summer in this respect. In addition to inflation remaining at a high level, the Ukraine conflict moved to the front news pages. It has caused panic and strong sales on the stock markets in recent weeks. After the DAX marked another interim low at around 13,500 points yesterday, the stock market barometer turned around but is struggling with the psychologically important mark at 14,000 points. Now the quarterly season has begun, which could provide positive impetus. Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank started it off and were quite convincing.

Deutsche Bank, mm2 Asia, Commerzbank - Uncertainty brings opportunities
It is currently difficult for investors to operate successfully on the capital markets. Restrictions due to the Corona pandemic, which has been ongoing for 2 years, are still a burden. In addition, the extreme rise in inflation, broken supply chains and worries about several interest rate hikes are hampering rising prices. With the uncertainty of the Ukraine conflict, there is now another factor that currently does not speak much in favor of an investment in the stock markets. But in the past, precisely when uncertainty rose, this was the best time to open new positions.

Plug Power, Altech Advanced Materials, Nel ASA - Ambitious valuations
There is everything to be said for the transformation from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Now that the Western world has broken away from the Russian aggressor, the expansion of "freedom energies" is to proceed even faster. Baerbock, Habeck and Co. have already announced the withdrawal from dependence on the Eastern European neighbor. It should now be exciting to see how implementation works in the near future. The listed companies in the respective sectors, such as fuel cells, hydrogen and photovoltaics, have already built up horrendous valuations despite a correction that has been ongoing for months. Thus, caution is advised for some shares against a further slide.

Rheinmetall, Defense Metals, MP Materials - Until the next bubble bursts
In every crisis there are winners and losers. Due to the numerous lockdowns of the past two years, shares such as Netflix, Delivery Hero and Peloton, in addition to vaccine manufacturers such as BioNTech and Moderna, are the winners. However, since Russia invaded Ukraine, defense shares, which were recently classified as "socially harmful", have become the new stars in the stock market sky. The call for rearmament by several countries is creating enormous valuation bubbles that are likely to burst again in the near future.

Rio Tinto, Ximen Mining, Barrick Gold - Shares to counter the crisis
The precious metal gold has not yet been able to reach a new all-time high in the current reserve currency, the US dollar. However, the conditions for this to happen soon are extremely favorable. The uncertainties in geopolitics, not only in Ukraine, as well as continued high inflation rates and even higher debt levels in many countries, are a dangerous mixture that should speak for rising precious metal prices. The central banks are called upon to act if it is not already too late. It is therefore advisable to at least partially protect your portfolio.

Plug Power, Barsele Minerals, Nordex - Prepared for the crisis
A ghost is haunting, not only in Europe. It is the ghost of stagflation. Stagflation means stagnating economic growth with rising inflation. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has now added another factor of uncertainty. The central banks are being challenged. While the Fed reacted by raising interest rates for the first time, the European Central Bank has shone by failing to act. The consequences for consumers are drastic, and inflation is likely to weigh on us for a long time to come due to the food and energy crisis.
