Almost everyone knows the philosophies proclaimed by the great and wise stock market gurus. “Never try catch a falling knife" or "buy on the sound of cannons, sell on the sound of trumpets”. What is true? In the case of Bayer, after the Monsanto disaster, possibly higher than planned fines and a cracking profit warning, one might think that everything has already been priced in. However, it is still not known how and when the Monsanto disaster will end. The fact is, there are other, more appealing papers at the moment ...

    Trust from Switzerland

    Despite a stable market environment, Bayer continued to move south. Dropping below the EUR 45.00 mark marked a 5-year low. The Leverkusen-based Company was encouraged by the Swiss, of all countries. The major Swiss bank UBS left the rating for Bayer at "Buy" with a price target of EUR 85.00. Despite the announced dividend cut, UBS does not necessarily see Bayer as lacking money. The analyst cites as the reason that the pharmaceutical giant only issued a bond with a volume of EUR 6 billion in August.

    Besides, it would also be possible to generate cash by selling shares. Given the profit warning that was issued shortly before the issuing of the bond and the continuing uncertainty about possible fines, caution is still necessary at the current level.

    Before all-time high

    Everything else how bad things are going at the moment for the Mainz-based developer of a vaccine against the pandemic pathogen. The exploding COVID-19 infection figures are another reason why the Company is on everyone's lips.

    The vaccine candidate BNT162, developed in cooperation with Pfizer, is currently being tested in final clinical trials. About 37,000 participants in the study have already received vaccinations, 28,000 have received two doses. There are 120 sites worldwide involved in this clinical study.

    From a chartist's point of view, the upward trend, which has been in evidence since October 2019 and currently stands at EUR 55.00, is fully intact. If the positive news continues in the coming weeks, it is only a matter of time before the EUR 100.00 mark is reached and broken through.

    Opportunity after consolidation

    The stock of the Canadian gold explorer Triumph Gold also corrected sharply. In August 2020, the share price was at CAD 0.48, but now almost half of it is at CAD 0.25. The reasons for the fall to the south are, on the one hand, the weakening gold price and, of course, the still too weak sales due to the Company's high profile, this of course results in increased volatility, but also a great opportunity.

    Triumph Gold Corp. is a growth-oriented Canadian gold exploration and development company with a large land package in the mining-friendly Yukon. The Company's flagship project, Freegold Mountain, is located in the Dawson Range. It hosts three NI 43-101 compliant mineral deposits. It covers an extensive area of the Big Creek Fault Zone, a structure similar to epithermal gold and silver mineralization, and gold-rich porphyry copper mineralization.

    Successful Exploration Program

    As of September 18, 2020, Triumph Gold announced that it had completed the fully funded exploration program PR20-07. The program included minor trenching and reconnaissance sampling, as well as 2,068 meters of diamond drilling. The partially near-surface surveys are now in the evaluation and analysis phase. According to Jesse Halle, Vice President of Exploration, several of the reconnaissance samples collected indicate that gold mineralization is much more widespread than previously thought. As a result, the 2021 exploration program is to expand.

    Also noteworthy is the Canadian shareholder list, which includes known names. In addition to the Zijn Mining Fund, industry leader Newmont Mining is also a shareholder.

    Gold Mining Stocks: Time to Buy? Barrick Mining, B2Gold and Desert Gold in Focus

    Should you buy gold mining stocks now? Gold expert Markus Bußler sees the recent pullback as an attractive entry opportunity. After a rally of about 50%, the GDX mining ETF had fallen about 18% from its high. This has brought it back into the technical buy zone between approximately USD 84 and USD 88. At these levels, the expert believes the risk-reward ratio once again favours buying. A similar technical setup had already led him to a positive assessment in July. The market subsequently posted strong gains. The current negative sentiment therefore does not deter him. Stocks such as Barrick Mining, B2Gold and Desert Gold could benefit from this development.

    Gold remains one of the big winners in the commodities markets. High prices not only boost producers' profits but also increase the value of undeveloped deposits. Deposits that previously received little attention can suddenly become economically attractive. Consequently, mining companies are once again investing heavily in exploration. In this context, it is increasingly important to identify companies that can expand their resources, discover new deposits, and bring additional ounces into production as cost-effectively as possible.

    thyssenkrupp, Strategic Resources, Salzgitter – Steel Stocks That Could Benefit from the Industry's Transformation

    Europe's steel industry is currently transforming. Since July 1, the EU has been protecting its steel market with a duty-free quota of 18.345 million metric tonnes and a 50% tariff on all imports exceeding that amount. Starting October 1, importers must also provide proof of where they smelted and cast their steel. This gives manufacturers breathing room to replace blast furnaces with direct reduction plants. However, these plants require high-grade iron ore of the appropriate quality. For those who view steel, raw materials, and restructuring as a unified whole, the new situation could work in their favour. We are therefore taking a closer look at thyssenkrupp, Strategic Resources and Salzgitter.
