Siemens Energy, Barsele Minerals, Nordex, HelloFresh - Markets under the spell of the Fed
The all-dominant topic this week is the interest rate decision of the US Federal Reserve. On Wednesday, a further tightening of interest rates is considered a certainty. However, experts even assume the largest interest rate step for over 40 years with an increase of a whole percentage point. Of course, this would weigh on the precious metals and crypto sectors in addition to the stock markets. In the medium term, however, a change in strategy by the monetary guardians could be on the horizon.

Nordex, Aspermont, TeamViewer AG - New opportunities for growth stocks
The skies for growth stocks have clouded over considerably since the beginning of the year with the change in strategy by the central banks. With all their might, the monetary guardians want to curb rampant inflation with several interest rate hikes. This week, the Fed is expected to make a third major interest rate hike, with experts predicting a rise of 100 basis points. However, whether further interest rate steps will follow is likely to be at least questioned. If the fight against inflation continues to be played as a trump card for the re-election of the current government until the midterm elections in the US, a change of strategy is likely to be made afterwards at the latest in order not to bring the economy to a complete standstill. The result would be a bullish stock market, with growth stocks in particular likely to benefit significantly.

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, MicroStrategy - Catch a falling knife!
The recently published inflation data from the US sent not only the stock markets into the basement. Even the oil price, which has been bullish of late, went down. Precious metals, as well as cryptocurrencies, suffered the most from the inflation shock. With the US Federal Reserve meeting next week and the expectation of a significant interest rate step, new lows for the year could be marked for these two assets in particular, and a further sell-off could occur. However, it seems unlikely that further major interest rate hikes will take place in the medium term, as this would tend to favor a hard landing of the global economy. Thus, with an anti-cyclical entry, the chances of long-term price gains increase.

BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Varta - Breakthrough in the battery market
Electromobility is considered a key technology in the transformation of the transport sector. In 2021 alone, the number of new registrations and the market share of battery-powered vehicles more than doubled. In addition to the charging infrastructure, efficiency plays a decisive role in the expansion of e-cars. Another obstacle to rapid growth is likely to be the shortage of lithium, an essential raw material for the production of lithium-ion batteries, due to the high demand. A German company is about to start a revolution with new innovative technology. The main component of the new battery is regular table salt, which is available in extremely large quantities and is produced in highly diversified regions.

Rheinmetall, Defense Metals, MP Materials - The trend persists
And once again, the recently started upward movement on the stock markets is abruptly ended by new inflation data from the US. Consumer prices rose by 8.3% last month, the core rate by 6.3%. The figures were thus once again higher than economists' estimates, making further interest rate hikes more likely. Higher interest rates are a further burden on the economy. In addition, high demand is causing prices for urgently needed raw materials to rise further.

BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, Bayer - Caution, turnaround!
The market correction due to geopolitical uncertainties and fears of further interest rate hikes mainly affected growth stocks in recent months, with the capital-intensive biotech sector losing disproportionately. However, the industry is growing dynamically and will become increasingly important in the coming years in the fields of application of the pharmaceutical and chemical industry, in the agricultural and food sector and in environmental protection. Due to the market correction, there are currently enormous opportunities for a turnaround in selected stocks.

SGL Carbon, Viva Gold, Formycon - Strong news in the bear market
The stock markets are reeling, and uncertainties and tensions have increased in recent days. Thus, not only did the stock market corrected, but the DAX sank again significantly below the 13,000 mark due to the stop of gas deliveries via Nord Stream 1, and other asset classes such as precious metals, cryptocurrencies and even oil dropped significantly. Nevertheless, even in the bear market, there are companies that can shine with excellent reports and should be among the winners in a possible upward movement.

XPeng, Infinity Stone Ventures, Rock Tech Lithium - Enormous growth potential
Bad news for all BYD shareholders, stock market legend Warren Buffett is selling off part of his shares, causing the recently strongly performing stock to falter. Despite the short-term share price turbulence of the Chinese market leader, e-mobility is set for exponential growth in the coming years due to the achievement of climate targets. This development, in turn, is fueling global lithium demand. The raw material needed to build electric car batteries is already becoming scarce. The main beneficiaries of the shortage are likely to be producers of the metal.

Bayer, Almonty Industries, SAP - New opportunities after the sell-off
The scent of a perfect end to the week was in the air. Positive labor market data from the US drove global stock market indices, and Germany's leading index DAX went through the psychologically important 13,000-point mark like butter. But then came the gas shock with the announcement that Gazprom does not intend to ramp up gas deliveries via Nord Stream 1 again. And just like that, all the gains made dissolved into thin air. The DAX alone will likely start the new week today deep in the red at around 12,700 points. This threatens a new test of the year's lows, which in turn could allow new anticyclical entry opportunities in selected stocks.

K+S AG, BrainChip, Bayer - Shares in waiting position
At the end of last week, FED head Jerome Powell brought down the stock markets with the announcement of further interest rate steps and a hawkish stance by the US Federal Reserve. A similar scenario looms next week at the European Central Bank meeting. Here, speculation is mounting that an interest rate step of even 0.75% could be imminent due to rampant inflation. In the long term, however, the contingent of the European monetary guardians is limited because too strong an increase would lead to the collapse of the debt countries. Moreover, this would mean a further slowdown of the already weakening European economy. Therefore, a return to the loose monetary policy in the fourth quarter does not appear to be out of the question, which could result in a further stock market boom.
