Experienced investors assume that the DAX, Germany's leading index, will still reach new highs in 2020. One of the best-known supporters of this scenario is the asset manager Dr. Jens Ehrhardt. Rising markets are supported by the measures taken by central banks and politicians - it is de facto the consequence of the increase in the money supply. This expected development will be of particular interest to those investors who have so far been on the sidelines and have to position themselves or reallocate.

    Pessimists seldom have reason to be happy

    At the stock exchange, buyer and seller meet. The buyer side sees potential, the seller side often has a different opinion. However, the motives for sales can also be detached from the question of the expected potential, for example, if the portfolio has become unbalanced or a stop-mark has been reached. Anyone who has been active on the stock market for a longer period of time and has been following the media closely has certainly already noticed that the optimists have reasons to be happy about a longer period and the pessimists can only ever feel confirmed in a relatively small but violent time window.

    Central banks are pointing the way

    For example, the DAX rose from 3,588 points in 2009 to 13,795 points in 2020 - a full 10,207 points. In the heat of the Corona battle, it went down to 8,255 points within four weeks starting in February, but at the current level of around 12,300 points, a new high is almost within reach again. The pessimists have now largely fallen silent again after their four-week celebration. The power of the central banks should not be underestimated.

    Gateway to the EU market

    If you want to participate in the future, you should take a look at EXMceuticals. The company signed a letter of intent last week with an operating subsidiary of Plena Global Holdings Inc, a major producer and supplier of medical grade cannabis ingredients. According to the agreement, the processing plant in Portugal planned by EXMceuticals will be supplied with GMP-compliant THC distillate in the future. With this agreement, EXMceuticals reinforces its strategy to position itself as the "gateway" to the European market for existing manufacturers of legal cannabis.

    Europe as a growth market

    "The demand will explode in the next few years as the European cannabis industry continues to develop into one of the largest cannabis markets in the world and more countries require the use of EU GMP standards. Securing valuable sources of ingredients with consistent, large-scale suppliers such as Plena Global is more important than ever for the buildout of the EXM supply chain. (...)," said Jonathan Summers, Chief Executive Officer of EXM.

    Health in focus

    BioNTech remains the focus of investors waiting for a vaccine against Covid-19. The team of experts cooperates with pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, among others. In addition, the company pursues the development of preparations and therapies for the individual treatment of cancer.

    The active ingredient expert Evotec was also able to attract attention with positive reports in recent weeks. The company is participating in a project in the USA that is intended to enable the rapid assessment of potential health and environmental risks resulting from chemicals. In addition, a partnership was entered into for the development of antibodies against the immunodeficiency virus HIV. The US government has budgeted a volume of around USD 318 million for this project.

    Things are moving again in the biotech sector! While Novo Nordisk appears to have finally found its footing after three profit warnings, PanGenomic Health continues its upward trend. Since launching its new business model in May, the stock has staged a phenomenal rally of over 1,000%. Meanwhile, Valneva faces a major setback as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has halted approval of the chikungunya vaccine Ixchiq due to severe side effects. This comes as a shock to investors, who are now waiting for the Company to provide further explanations. The stock market has reacted with a sharp drop in the share price. How can investors benefit from the current situation?

    Healthcare costs are skyrocketing. According to KFF, a leading US healthcare policy organization, the United States spent around USD 4.5 trillion on healthcare in 2022. That is equivalent to 17% of gross domestic product. Given the millions of Americans who, due to lack of insurance, opt for painkillers instead of visiting a dentist, that is a remarkable figure. KFF also reports that one in four Americans postponed medical treatment last year. In this complex environment, the importance of personal responsibility and self-therapy is growing. Companies are stepping in to address the situation and offer solutions. We present three business models and explain what opportunities they may hold for investors.

    Trump's Tariffs & Takeovers! BioNTech, PanGenomic Health, Pfizer, and Valneva Targeted by Speculators

    The US-EU tariff agreement has now been finalized. Many sectors of the European economy will now face additional burdens and margin cuts. The biotech and pharmaceutical industries have been spared, as medicines and active pharmaceutical ingredients are among the few product groups that are traditionally traded duty-free in transatlantic trade. This is due to international agreements, such as the WTO Pharmaceutical Agreement, which both the EU and the US have signed. Clinical trial drugs, active ingredient imports, and vaccines are also mostly exempt from tariffs. Valneva is currently making headlines with its chikungunya vaccine, BioNTech and Pfizer are continuing to sell COVID-19 vaccines on a small scale, and PanGenomic is surprising everyone with a new AI-powered health platform. A lot is going on in the sector – who are the big earners?
