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 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.
