    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.

    The recent geopolitical easing in the Middle East is sending shockwaves through the energy markets, with welcome spillover effects for the gold mining industry. Falling oil prices are lowering mining companies' production costs and boosting profit margins even before the price of gold itself reacts. While the markets are still digesting the relief brought by the peace, the fundamental conditions for the industry are noticeably improving. We take a closer look at industry leader Barrick Mining, DRC Gold as a growth story in the African Gold Belt, and Agnico Eagle with its robust asset portfolio.

    Mining legend Eric Sprott is investing CAD 2.0 million in the Canadian exploration company Power Metallic Mines, sending a signal that resonates far beyond the mining sector. Copper, nickel, cobalt, and platinum group metals, which lie dormant in the ground in Québec, are in high demand by both the defence industry and automotive manufacturers. For companies such as BAE Systems and BMW, these critical raw materials are indispensable. Three companies, one supply chain—and a race the West cannot afford to lose.

    Dwindling mineral reserves in low-risk regions, stagnating discovery rates, and increasingly complex permitting processes—the situation in the gold mining sector is forcing leading producers to act. Since developing new large-scale greenfield projects is associated with sharply rising costs, industry giants are increasingly shifting their focus to acquiring projects already at an advanced stage. According to surveys by the industry portal MiningBeacon, the gold sector accounted for over 40% of the total mining transaction volume in the first five months of 2026 alone, amounting to deals worth USD 41 billion. West African shear trends and established mining regions are therefore becoming target areas for resource-hungry corporations that need to utilize their processing capacities to full capacity.
