FuelCell Energy, Saturn Oil + Gas, Gazprom - The Renaissance of fossil fuels
There is no question that Germany has already achieved a great deal in terms of climate protection. In 2020, about 45% of its electricity came from renewable sources. However, the goal of becoming greenhouse gas neutral by 2045 is still a long way off. For this plan to become a reality, wind power still needs to be expanded significantly. The first half of the current year shows that it will not be possible to do without fossil fuels in the coming years. According to calculations by the Federal Statistical Office, over 56% of the total 258.9 billion kWh of electricity generated in Germany came from conventional sources such as coal, natural gas and nuclear energy.

Steinhoff, Sierra Grande Minerals, Barrick Gold - Played into the cards
The latest inflation data in the world's largest economy, the USA, plays into the central bank's strategy cards. After 5.4% in the previous month, the inflation rate weakened moderately to 5.3% in August, breaking the trend that had been rising for months for the first time. The FED, which sees the hype in the inflation curve as temporary due to the recovery after the Corona Crisis, thus feels vindicated and continues its ultra-loose monetary policy with bond purchases of USD 120 billion per month in favor of growth.

Nvidia, BrainChip Holdings, Palantir - To the moon
According to high-ranking managers of the largest chip manufacturers such as Intel and Nvidia, the end of the semiconductor crisis is not in sight before the end of 2022. Besides the increasing demand for consumer electronics, computers and accessories since the beginning of the Corona Crisis, the industry is also being hit by the strong growth in demand from the automotive industry, which is increasingly relying on electronics. Artificial intelligence, 5G and the Internet of Things will further fuel demand in the coming years.

Xiaomi, Troilus Gold, Merck - First-class developments
Substantial gains were recently seen in consumer and producer prices in Germany and Europe. Inflation in Germany reached its highest level in almost 28 years in August and is close to breaking through the 4% mark. In contrast to central banks, which consider the rate of inflation to be temporary and continue to maintain an ultra-loose monetary policy with interest rates at zero percent, economists expect inflation to remain permanently high. There is a threat of a decline in the value of money, which could be slowed down by buying gold. Currently, the precious metal is still trading at a favorable level.

GameStop, wallstreet:online, Nikola - It goes on blithely
The ECB is following the lead of the FED. Although some council members warned not to ignore the risk of too high inflation, an end to the ultra-loose monetary policy is not in sight. Only the purchase of government and corporate securities under the Corona emergency purchase program should be "moderately" lower in the fourth quarter. The pro-growth decision is a balm for the stock markets. New highs should follow after the last mini-corrections.

NIO, Kodiak Copper, Siemens Energy - Will green policies end in disaster?
Climate change is supposed to move forward quickly. The parties, above all, the Greens around chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock, are wooing voters with ever shorter targets for CO2 neutrality. However, the construction of wind turbines, electric cars and solar plants requires an enormous amount of metals. There are already signs of a shortage in 2021, which will be even more drastic in the next few years and will seriously undermine the politicians' plans.

SMA Solar, Royal Helium, RWE - Supply is becoming increasingly scarce
Whether for cars or consumer electronics, hardly any machine can do without microchips anymore. Since the beginning of the year, the shortage of semiconductors has been throwing the automotive industry out of step and causing production downtime and short-time work. Meanwhile, there is no end in sight to the supply crisis. Shortages stretch as far as the eye can see, while demand increases due to technological advances. Demand is also rising enormously for raw materials needed to decarbonize the economy.

BASF, Desert Gold, Moderna, BioNTech - Keep going, keep going!
The Delta variant is teaching the markets to be afraid. After the economy was humming in the past two quarters, disillusionment is now slowly setting in. The unexpectedly weak labor market data in the US in August demonstrated this. Outside of agriculture, only 235,000 new jobs were created compared with the forecast of 728,000 new jobs. Thus, the market's fear of an end to loose monetary policy and possible interest rate hikes should also be off the table.

Steinhoff, Saturn Oil + Gas, NIO - Spectacular transformation
A lot happened in the global capital markets last week. In addition to the OPEC+ meeting, where it was decided to turn on the oil taps further, disappointing labor market data again determined the direction of stock prices. Several second-line stocks, likely to face serious revaluations due to strong quarterly figures or new corporate developments, caused a furor. Position yourself now!
