Coinbase, Smartbroker Holding, MicroStrategy - Strong upward wave expected
No sooner does the world's largest cryptocurrency surpass the USD 28,000 mark than the bulls increasingly enter the market and announce gigantic price targets. In view of the upcoming halving in April next year, which will inevitably lead to a supply shortage, market experts assume a six-digit price level for bitcoin. Profiteers of the expected bull run include not only Bitcoin holders but also cryptocurrency exchanges and online brokers that facilitate trading on their platforms.

Rheinmetall AG, Almonty Industries, Commerzbank - A run-up to the end of the year
After a strong first half, the stock markets corrected in the third quarter, driven by continuing risks such as high inflation, rising interest rates and the weakening economy with existing recession scenarios. The commodity markets were also unable to decouple themselves from this. Nevertheless, there are opportunities for a year-end rally in the final quarter.

Nordex, Power Nickel, Verbio - On the verge of a Breakthrough
Both politics and business are taking significant risks in their efforts to achieve climate goals. Fossil fuels are to be replaced by alternative energy sources as quickly as possible. In turn, the consumption of metallic raw materials is increasing to build renewable, energy-efficient systems. As Western countries increasingly strive to become independent of imports from Russia or China, domestic producers of critical raw materials, in particular, are likely to emerge as long-term winners.

AI shares in focus: C3.ai, Norcom, Amazon - Upgrade at any cost
The implementation of generative artificial intelligence on a large scale has the potential to significantly boost the German economy, according to a study by IW Consult, conducted on behalf of Google. In this context, the comprehensive integration of programs such as ChatGPT by at least half of domestic companies could increase economic output by around EUR 330 billion. This value corresponds to almost 10% of the German gross domestic product of the previous year. This is likely to herald a quantum leap for providers of intelligent software.

Shell, Hard Value Fund, Rheinmetall - All for performance!
Sustainability is a significant and important topic. Due to recent developments, it is often associated with the environmental and social sustainability of financial products. However, investing purely based on these two criteria can cost investors dearly. For example, global leaders in the hydrogen sector, such as Plug Power, lost around 90% of their value within two years, while wind turbine manufacturer Nordex experienced a peak decline of around 70%. In contrast, fossil fuel producers such as Shell, BP and Exxon enjoyed a boom and were able to multiply their share prices over the same period. Whether investments should, therefore, be made exclusively in ESG-compliant stocks is more than questionable from a return point of view because many companies do not yet offer one thing: financial sustainability.

ThyssenKrupp Nucera, Klimat X, Ballard Power - Gigantic potential
There is no question that hydrogen is a key element in climate neutrality. Politicians are, therefore, backing the invisible, odorless gas with billions in subsidies. However, after a stock market boom at the beginning of the decade, the prices of hydrogen shares have been falling sharply for months. There is no question that the long-term potential is enormous. The forecasts for trading in CO2 certificates are similarly high. Experts expect the market to multiply by a factor of 10 by 2030.

TUI, Desert Gold, Rheinmetall - Is the next upward wave coming?
Today is the day! Once again, the Federal Reserve Bank will tip the scales. Is there another interest rate hike, or, as the consensus expects, will the US central bank pause until further notice? In addition to the actual interest rate step, the markets also react to the statements of the FED members, in which direction they tend in the coming months. Many anticipate an end to the strict monetary policy and see the high interest rate level wavering due to the increased risks of a recession.

ExxonMobil, First Phosphate, Shell - The fight against black gold
In order to combat climate change, politicians and industry are focusing on moving away from coal, oil and gas as quickly as possible. Burning fossil fuels, whether for electricity or in car engines, releases enormous amounts of greenhouse gas and is the primary driver of global warming. But the reality is different. Oil prices continue to rise, and multinationals are reaping record profits. Now, however, a lawsuit from the US could reverse the trend.

Especially in the field of alternative propulsion, there are companies with substantial growth potential that, despite the prevailing market correction, continue to hold promise for sustainable growth.
