A week on the stock market with positive price development is slowly coming to an end. The DAX was at a low of 10,426 points at the beginning of the week and currently stands at 10,837 points. The gain of more than 400 points is mainly due to the relaxation of measures to limit the spread of the Corona Pandemic. In the meantime, more and more citizens have doubts that the Federal Government has reacted appropriately in dealing with Covid-19. In retrospect, of course, people are always smarter. The fact that the opinions of medical specialists and virologists on this type of corona virus diverged widely and that politicians took the side of drastic measures may have contributed to the fact that Germany has got off so lightly so far.

    Financial institutions in focus

    The Allianz shares opened the week at around EUR 164.00 and last traded at EUR 157.84. The reason for this price decline is trading ex-dividend. The company paid a dividend of EUR 9.60 to shareholders as of May 7, 2020. All in all, it was a positive week for long-term Allianz shareholders. The Commerzbank shares are currently quoted at around EUR 3.22, as at the beginning of the week. Despite the news that Comdirect can now be taken over completely, the trading performance was relatively unspectacular.

    On the footsteps of Symrise

    The shares of EXMceuticals, the young supplier of pure ingredients for the health sector, were able to increase in trading yesterday on the Canadian home market in phases by over 100% from CAD 0.17 to CAD 0.35. The company, which is operationally based in Lisbon, Portugal, announced yesterday that it had signed a letter of intent, thus arousing the interest of investors. It is possible that a new Symrise will be created with EXMceuticals. The potential for pure ingredients and active ingredients is great and, above all, scalable.

    Opportunity before the gold boom

    Exciting for gold investors this week was the news from Osino Resources. The company is starting the 20,000 metre Twin Hills drill program and will be exploring further details of recent discoveries. CEO Heye Daun is experienced and has previously developed a company for acquisition by B2Gold in Namibia. Osino Resources' management is pursuing the same goal for its shareholders with the current work in Namibia. The share price was last quoted at CAD 0.87 and the market value of the company is around CAD 85 million. During times of aid packages for the economy, the devaluation of money will accompany this. A gold boom is only a question of time.

    Analysts make prices

    Yesterday's trading day saw TUI shares come under pressure in connection with a reduction in Morgan Stanley's price target from EUR 13 to EUR 1.30. At the beginning of the week, the tour operator's share was still trading at over EUR 3.50, but recently the shares changed hands at EUR 3.14. Uncertainty among analysts caused further price fluctuations even with downgrades at Wirecard. The DZ Bank has even temporarily suspended coverage of the DAX company. Despite an eventful week, the share price is back at around EUR 87.00, as at the beginning of the week.

    New Opportunities in Gold Stocks: Pan American Silver, North Arrow Minerals, and B2Gold

    The war in the Persian Gulf appears to be entering its final phase. It is becoming increasingly clear that the US government wants to withdraw as quickly as possible and declare victory, leaving the rest to its own narrative management. This sentiment is also reflected in the gold price. Most recently, Deutsche Bank helped fuel momentum by issuing a price target of USD 8,000 for gold. Now, a key technical decision may be approaching. Gold has reached the resistance zone around USD 4,850, putting the April highs within reach. If a breakout succeeds, the path toward the USD 5,200 level would at least be technically open from a chart perspective. An end to the war could provide the right momentum here. The main beneficiaries of a higher gold price are gold stocks. We therefore take a closer look at the shares of Pan American Silver, North Arrow Minerals, and B2Gold.

    Investors seeking a compelling, lucrative investment story in the gold sector may have found it in Lahontan Gold. An excellent team with a keen sense of geology and timing, ample financial resources, top-notch drilling data and assets, and a clear plan for when investors can expect the next value-enhancing milestones speaks for itself. As early as next month, an updated resource estimate could lay the groundwork for a revaluation. A new economic feasibility study is expected in September, which should underscore the company's undervaluation. With production scheduled to begin in late 2027 and the prospect of a US listing, additional catalysts are emerging. Against the backdrop of high gold prices and a resource potential of 3 million ounces of gold, the company could also increasingly come into focus as an acquisition target for larger producers.

    Several factors are currently converging in the precious metals market: geopolitical instability, a shift in monetary policy, and the resurgence of real assets. This is creating strong tailwinds. As the gold price pushes into the USD 4,500-per-ounce range, industry players are increasingly focusing on regions that offer not only geological quality but, above all, legal certainty and planning reliability. In this context, the US state of Nevada has once again established itself as a global hotspot for gold production. However, when drilling on greenfield sites without historical data, investments in precious metal projects often resemble a gamble. Savvy investors tend to avoid early-stage risk and instead focus on brownfield projects—that is, formerly producing mines with existing infrastructure and well-defined ore bodies. We take a closer look at the situation in Nevada and present some compelling stocks.
