The trading week is coming to an end and on Thursday the German benchmark index DAX continues to trade below the psychological mark of 16,000 points at a level of 15,785 points and an increase of 0.10%. The rest of today and Friday remain to make a jump. It will probably depend on the guidance from the U.S., but at the hour, U.S. futures are all green. MDAX last traded at 34,135 points (+0.07%), TecDAX at 3,544 points (+0.07%) and SDAX at 15,626 points up 0.33%. Companies from the biotech sector are again in the focus of the investors today.

    Share price fireworks after announcement

    The share of Valneva can show the most trades on Tradegate so far on today's trading day. More than 5,600 executed orders have been counted so far. After yesterday's company announcement on the development of a Covid-19 vaccine, the share price increased from below 14.00 EUR to over 20.00 EUR. Currently, the share is trading at EUR 16.86, far from its daily high of EUR 21.20. Compared to the previous day's closing price, the shares are trading around 21% lower. The Novavax shares have also lost ground in recent weeks. In December 2021, the shares still changed hands at over EUR 200.00. Most recently, the shares were traded at EUR 84.20, 3.47% higher than the previous day.

    Investors are betting on the next Covid-19 phase

    Long-Covid is moving more and more into the focus of investors. Canadian biotech Cardiol Therapeutics successfully completed a USD 50 million capital increase in November 2021, significantly expanding its financial resources for product development. The company focuses on heart disease therapy. The proliferation of Covid-19 has significantly increased the need. The analysts of Canaccord and Cantor Fitzgerald grant the shares a price potential of CAD 10.00 and GBC Research even considers CAD 17.49 possible. At present with EUR 1.78 (approx. CAD 2.52) the shares change their owners. On the previous day, there was profit-taking in the shares after several days of price increases. But according to an old stock market saying, "Buy on dips!" - in other words, buy on weakness.

    On Feb. 17, 2022, Cardiol will present at the 'International Investment Forum - IIF' and provide insights to investors. (Free registration: ii-forum.com). Yesterday, a report on Cardiol by stock market expert Carsten Mainitz was also published on researchanalyst.com.

    Gold & silver poised to rise: How investors can profit now with Agnico Eagle Mines, Silver Viper Minerals, and Harmony Gold!

    Stock markets have been extremely volatile since the start of the war. They are going up or down on a daily basis. At gas stations, but also in the chemical industry, the consequences are already being felt in the form of higher costs for consumers and industry. But one thing is also clear: in times like these, investors seek safe havens. One beneficiary is the dollar. The greenback has gained ground after a long period of weakness. This appears to be more of a traditional reflex on the part of the markets. Given the high level of US debt, investors have tended to seek refuge in recent years and shift their investments to hard assets such as gold or cash flow-strong stocks. The war appears to have interrupted this debasement trend.

    Underestimated prospects in the precious metals sector: Lahontan Gold, Barrick Mining, and First Majestic Silver are the favorites

    Market volatility has skyrocketed in the wake of new global armed conflicts. This trend is evident across all asset classes. Investors are currently focusing on the price of oil and the question of what impact high prices will have on the real economy. In contrast, precious metal prices are proving to be very robust. With gold trading above USD 5,000 and silver above USD 80, record margins are on the cards for producers such as Barrick and First Majestic, despite rising costs. An investment in exploration company Lahontan Gold, which plans to start production in 2027, appears even more lucrative.

    Iran, Israel, USA – Investors turn to gold! Buying opportunities for Desert Gold, Barrick Mining, TUI, and Lufthansa

    The daily news is not easy to stomach. Wars, conflicts, and human tragedies – who still thinks about traveling at times like these? Or is now precisely the time when people want to switch off and escape for a while? For years, investors have had to live with geopolitical uncertainty. So far, however, this has had little impact on equities, as there are always sectors that receive particular attention in such environments. Gold and silver have weathered the inflation surges since the COVID-19 pandemic remarkably well, while the tourism sector has been more of a roller coaster ride with several loops along the way. But what has worked in recent years is now back on the agenda: buy when the cannons thunder! It may sound lacking in empathy, yet it has consistently increased the wealth of those who accept the world as it is. We once again take a look at gold and the travel sector and prepare for another turbulent ride.
