Palantir, Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Steinhoff - The scenario of the future
Robots and algorithms are increasingly taking over work currently still done by humans. The Internet of Things, digitalization and artificial intelligence are topics we are increasingly coming into contact with. The possibilities in a digitally networked world are almost unlimited, which applies across all sectors. In medicine, artificial intelligence can be an essential decision-making aid for doctors. But it is also assuming an increasingly important position in the military sector, as was demonstrated during the recent Munich Security Conference.

Bayer, Desert Gold, K+S - Market facing redistribution
Since Russia invaded Ukraine last week, the world has literally been turned upside down. There is bewilderment at the violence of the Russian president. Western nations are responding with sanctions against Russia, such as excluding Russian banks from the SWIFT system. In addition, the plan is to extend sanctions to other companies in various industries. Companies that are not affected benefit from this and gain market share. For example, the fertilizer industry is facing a redistribution of market conditions in favor of German suppliers.

Rheinmetall, Diamcor, Hensoldt - The scenario escalates
All the diplomatic attempts to resolve the situation in Ukraine peacefully have failed. Russia is already in eastern Ukraine with its troops, and the police are reporting fighting throughout the country. In his televised speech launching the war against Ukraine, Russia's President Putin threatens the West with a massive counterstrike. The markets fall into deep red territory. By contrast, the defense industry is benefiting alongside precious metals and oil. Orders should thus continue to rise over the next few years. After the expected sanctions, energy prices are also likely to explode, so there is no end in sight to the inflationary spiral.

Rio Tinto, Triumph Gold, Nestlé - Conflicts and inflation
Producer prices of industrial products in Germany were 25% higher in January 2022 than in the same period last year. According to the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), this represents the highest increase since the survey began in 1949. The main reason for the sudden increase is the sharp rise in energy prices. Price increases compared with the previous year were also particularly high for secondary raw materials such as paper and cardboard (+72.7%), butter (up 61.1%) and wooden packaging materials (+65.7%). The situation in Ukraine is getting worse, which is likely to fuel electricity and energy costs once again.

Lufthansa, mm2 Asia, BioNTech - Clear the way for the rebound
After the strong increase by the Omicron variant, the infection numbers are decreasing, and the world is breathing a sigh of relief. Due to the high vaccination rates, politicians are loosening existing restrictions. It is hard to believe, going to cinemas, restaurants and even discos is allowed again. Bookings for the travel season are increasing daily, and flying, provided you don't want to go to Kiev or Odesa at the moment, is possible at any time. Due to the almost two-year standstill, there are interesting opportunities to participate in the revived business, especially in the entertainment industry.

Barrick Gold, MAS Gold, Gazprom - The conflict and its consequences
The next level of escalation in the Ukraine conflict has been ignited, and the consequences are severe. Oil prices moved close to the USD 100 mark, posting their highest levels since the end of 2014, and the precious metal gold shot above the important USD 1,900 mark. The stock markets buckled dramatically in the first hours of trading, only to start a rally and price fireworks in the course of trading. Despite the still acute concerns about an expansion of the conflict, a trend reversal may already have been heralded in the German benchmark index.

Nel ASA, Saturn Oil + Gas, BP - Uncertainty drives prices up
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia with a possible war in Europe is unsettling the stock markets. After a friendly start to the week and a gain of around 100 points, the DAX took a beating. It is now trading well below the 15,000-point mark. By contrast, crude oil is trading at a premium in view of the threat of conflict. There is also positive news from oil producers, which should lead to further price increases.

Nvidia, Globex Mining, Barrick Gold - Best conditions for rising prices
Although the US Federal Reserve signaled an end to the loose monetary policy on the occasion of the published Fed minutes and signaled several interest rate steps for the current year, the attitude of the financial guardians was not as tight as expected by many market participants. As a result of the Fed minutes, gold rose to the important resistance at USD 1,890 per ounce. Signals for a further positive run of gold sent one of the largest precious metal producers, Barrick Gold, with brilliant figures.

Nel ASA, Power Nickel, Varta - Positioning for the price explosion
In the last two years of the pandemic, both private households and commercial enterprises felt the impact of blown supply chains, from chip shortages to lack of lumber, to packaging materials. Extreme consumption is also taking place due to the ambitious achievement of climate targets. Electromobility is gobbling up enormous resources of key raw materials such as copper, lithium and nickel. Due to the significantly increasing demand for batteries, the demand for nickel is expected to continue to rise strongly in the coming years.

Glencore, Nevada Copper, Newmont - Commodities as an investment
An escalation of the situation in Ukraine and a possible war directly in Europe is keeping the stock markets in turmoil. In addition, a faster than expected rise in interest rates in the US is causing uncertainty among investors. As a result, the precious metal gold has risen to its highest level since mid-2021 and, at least in the short term, will live up to its status as a crisis currency. Companies from the commodities sector are also performing strongly. The price of a ton of copper, for example, once again exceeded the psychologically important USD 10,000 mark. Due to the strong demand resulting from the energy transition, this trend is also likely to prevail in the longer term.
