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.

Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Merck KGaA - At the start of the trend
The biotech industry is the innovative engine for a pharmaceutical industry dependent on new concepts due to the shift from blockbuster products to personalized medicine. Even before Corona, more than EUR seven billion per year was invested in R&D in 2019. The development of new drugs is particularly important for the pharmaceutical industry, as patent protection for many blockbuster drugs is expiring or has already expired. For this reason, the pharmaceutical industry is now much more often entering biotech companies in the early development phases of a new drug. The example of vaccine manufacturers has successfully highlighted this strategy, which will also be applied to other diseases in the future.

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.
