SGL Carbon, Almonty Industries, HeidelbergCement - Prices are going through the roof
Supply chain disruptions and shortages of certain raw materials were already occurring well before Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Last year, for example, the shortage of semiconductors in the automotive industry already led to short-time working and production plant closures. Current geopolitical tensions are exacerbating inflationary developments. For the first time, the central banks are attempting to counteract this. However, a further escalation of the price spiral is anything but unlikely. The profiteers here are the commodity producers.

BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, Moderna - New target groups to boost business
Infection figures remain at record levels. Health authorities reported 283,732 new infections to the Robert Koch Institute, 21,139 cases more than a week ago. In contrast, the pace of vaccination is limping, with the vaccination status of the overall population changing only marginally and remaining at 75.8% basic immunization. Chancellor Scholz is now calling for compulsory vaccination to counter the threat of another wave of Corona in the fall. This message is likely to be grist to the mill for the vaccine manufacturers, whose ratings, similar to the vaccination rates, have dropped sharply in recent weeks.

Rheinmetall, Altech Advanced Materials, K+S - Seizing the momentum
Since the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict about three weeks ago and the announcement of sanctions against Russian goods and companies, the winners and losers on the stock market have clearly emerged. While defense companies were not an investment object for fund managers or private investors from an ethical point of view in the recent past, there is now a strong investment in companies such as Rheinmetall, Hensoldt & Co. At the same time, no defense contracts have yet been awarded by the German government, nor is it clear whether the necessary raw materials will be available. Therefore, it would come as little surprise if the currently inflated valuations were to implode soon.

SAP, Aspermont, Palantir - AI shares facing reassessment
Following a rise in the German benchmark index DAX of more than 2,000 points since the interim low at 12,431, there is indecision as to which direction to take. The situation in Ukraine, where an agreement on a ceasefire is still a long way off, serves as a mirror image. In contrast, we are getting closer to the development that artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly important in many areas of our lives as a result of digitalization. The aspect of AI security, both in terms of protection against external attacks and operational security, is gaining relevance accordingly. Companies currently listed on the stock exchange could be facing a revaluation soon.

BYD, First Hydrogen, Continental - Hydrogen and e-mobility: Shares with huge potential
Germany must become more independent in terms of energy supply in the future. The war between Russia and Ukraine in the middle of Europe ruthlessly demonstrates how much the Federal Republic of Germany is at the mercy of fossil fuels. Now, at the latest, it should be apparent to every skeptic that the expansion of renewable energies and the transformation in the transport sector must proceed all the more quickly. The opportunities for the companies involved are enormous.

RWE, Kleos Space, TeamViewer - Powerful rebound
The Ukraine conflict still dominates the markets around the globe. However, most indices have been playing a de-escalation scenario in recent days. The DAX has already made up more than 2,000 points since its low. In contrast, precious metals such as gold and silver are losing massively, and the oil markets are reducing the exaggeration, at least in the short term. In terms of individual stocks, it is mainly the hard-hit banks and financial services companies performing well. In contrast, there are still attractive opportunities in various technology stocks.

Newmont, Ximen Mining, Barrick Gold - Deceptive calm
Hopes of an imminent end to the war in Ukraine are causing the stock markets to turn upward again. The German stock market barometer DAX climbed above the psychologically important mark of 14,000 points. In contrast, the precious metals gold and silver, known as crisis currencies, came under heavy pressure. The various types of oil also lost a disproportionate amount of value, falling by more than 3%. The question is now whether the calming is only a flash in the pan or whether a new buying window will open in the short term, especially for the precious metals.

Deutsche Bank, wallstreet:online, PayPal - New opportunities after the slide
Since Russia invaded Ukraine, there has been a mood of alarm on the stock exchanges. The EU's planned sanctions against Russia are causing severe turbulence in the banking sector and have led to disproportionately high share price losses. Although the exposure of German banks to Russia is manageable, Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank lost more than the German market as a whole. Papers of online brokers also lost heavily in recent weeks. With positive annual figures, one Company stands out here, which offers an attractive entry opportunity at a reduced level.

K+S, Edison Lithium, BASF - Explosives for the stock markets
Inflation is rising sharply, and there is uncertainty due to the increasing geopolitical tensions with sanctions, which are supposed to hit Russia in particular but are having a one-to-one impact on our wallets. For example, energy prices are rising enormously, with gasoline increasing by more than 50 cents at the pump within a few days. The switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources will take time, but it will almost certainly not be cheaper. The price of lithium alone, an elementary metal for electric mobility, has quadrupled since the summer of last year. The primary beneficiaries of the runaway inflation are undoubtedly the producers of the in-demand raw materials.

McDonald's, Barsele Minerals, ING Group - Golden instead of Chicken McNugget
The crisis currency gold has already marked new all-time highs in the euro currency. In the case of the dollar, the precious metal moved above the psychologically important USD 2,000 mark, at least briefly. From a technical perspective, the next target is the high at USD 2,074.40. Various companies currently have entirely different concerns with regard to their high exposure to Russia. In contrast to other competitors, fast-food giant McDonald's is being hit extremely hard.
