BYD, Canadian Solar, Silver Viper - don't miss the start!

The optimism for life in normality is growing more and more with the successful test results concerning the vaccines against the coronavirus. The administration of a vaccine, which is to be available to the general public from spring 2021 onwards, should make it possible to relax increasingly in everyday life. If one reads the daily news, the pandemic seems to be contained and thus controllable within a few months. The "victims" of this development are the crisis currencies gold and silver. After their highs, both precious metals and mining stocks are initially taking a breather - but a comeback is very likely.

    Further correction likely

    How quickly a correction can be completed has been seen in the oil price in recent weeks. Since the March low at USD 18.00, the black gold has posted a performance of over 150%. We see something similar on the gold chart. The long term upward chart is still intact. Since its high in early August at USD 2,069.70, the precious yellow metal has begun a correction below the USD 1,900.00 mark which was initially regained.

    Afterwards, however, the price fell below the significant mark, also due to the positive vaccine announcement. Currently, a battle with the support at USD 1,795.00 is taking place. If this falls, we expect a rapid descent to the critical support level of USD 1,747.00. This significant level should represent the target range. From there, the next move north should start with new highs in 2021.

    Mining stocks become attractive again

    At the same time, mining stocks are correcting. Considering that the big picture in the gold market continues to be positive, exciting stocks should be added to the watchlist right now. One value that stands out is the Canadian junior exploration Company Silver Viper Minerals Corp. The Campany's value corrected from its August highs of CAD 0.85 over 50% to now CAD 0.41 in the course of the gold downturn. Fundamentally, the Company is in a strong position. In September, a financing round was successfully completed, which raised a total of CAD 2.8 million for Silver Viper.

    The descendants of Pan American Silver

    The Canadians search for precious metals in Sonora, Mexico. The Company currently operates its La Virginia gold-silver project, formerly owned by Pan American Silver Corp. Drilling at La Virginia has identified a gold-silver vein up to 20 metres in diameter. The experienced management, also due to the financial resources now available, intends to test other drill-ready anomalies that Silver Viper has identified at the surface during the sampling program in addition to the existing projects. In a press release, CEO Steve Cope also anticipates further momentum that could further enhance the value of the Company later this year.

    Other successful divisions

    BYD is hungry. The Chinese Company, which has made a name for itself primarily as an electric car manufacturer, is also pushing the expansion of other promising lines of business. Less well known is that BYD has been active in the North American energy storage market since 2011. The Tesla competitor is now reporting great successes in energy storage in the USA. A promising partnership has been agreed with Canadian Solar. BYD will provide its advanced battery technology for the 100 MWAC Mustang solar power plant in Kings County, California and will supply a 75 MW energy storage system as a retrofit to the plant.

    The system was developed by Canadian Solar, which has been connected to the power grid since 2016. With the newly developed storage system, the solar energy generated during the day can be stored for use in the evening. The "Build your dream" Company was euphoric about the project: "We are pleased to be able to supply this large-scale solar and energy storage project, which is being fully developed by Canadian Solar and integrated into our proprietary battery technology."

    Is the Gold Price Falling? Buy the Dip! Why Barrick Mining, Desert Gold Ventures, and Agnico Eagle Mines Now Offer Attractive Entry Points

    Following the recent decline in the gold price, alarm bells are ringing for many investors. But those who look closely will recognize a familiar market dynamic. Every overheated rally is typically followed by a healthy consolidation phase. It is precisely this correction that may create a rare window of opportunity for strategically positioned investors, as the precious metal's fundamental upward momentum remains intact thanks to expectations of interest rate cuts and central bank purchases. Those willing to take a contrarian view at this stage could benefit disproportionately from the next recovery phase. Three industry players with different strategic profiles illustrate how current uncertainty can be transformed into potential returns: Barrick Mining, Desert Gold, and Agnico Eagle.

    Is This Gold Gem the Investment Opportunity of the Year? Lahontan Gold Set to Become a Producer!

    As the gold price continues to consolidate, this gold gem may present the investment opportunity of the year. Lahontan Gold is aiming to make history in the coming months by advancing toward gold production in Nevada. In its latest investor presentation, management confirmed that preparations for mine construction remain fully on track. In addition, a new resource estimate is expected to be released in the coming weeks. If projections from major banks such as Goldman Sachs are correct, the gold price could soon regain upward momentum, with some forecasts suggesting levels above USD 5,000 by the end of 2026. This is being driven in part by stronger-than-expected central bank gold purchases. With potential production costs of around USD 1,200 per ounce, Lahontan Gold could benefit significantly. At current levels, the stock still appears attractively valued.

    Takeover Candidates for 2026! The Life Sciences Sector Is Heating Up: Evotec, BioNxt Solutions, BioNTech, and Formycon in Focus!

    In recent months, the stock market has focused primarily on high-tech and defence stocks. While this strategy may have worked well for investors in the short term, it has also pushed several life sciences stocks to levels that some consider overly depressed. The Hamburg-based drug discovery company Evotec has lost around 75% of its market value over the past three years, with similar declines seen at BioNTech, Formycon, and BioNxt Solutions. Yet some pipelines are indeed valuable and backed by years of research. For a buyer with deep pockets, this could represent an attractive opportunity, as much of the costly early-stage work has already been completed. We are looking at a sector that has been unjustly forgotten. Where do opportunities lie for risk-conscious investors?
