    In purchasing is the profit

    The oil price will be in the spotlight today as a video conference of OPEC+ member countries is expected to result in a cut in production. Due to the drop in demand for the black gold as a result of the Corona Crisis, the price has fallen. The oversupply must be reduced in a concerted manner by the producers in order to increase the profit margins per barrel.

    Companies like Royal Dutch Shell and Saturn Oil & Gas are therefore in the focus of investors. The CEO of Saturn Oil & Gas, John Jeffrey, recently announced that he will be prioritizing ESG criteria from now on. The appointment of dynaCERT CEO Jim Payne as a new board member supports this step. As a CleanTech company, dynaCERT has developed a hydrogen technology that will be used in the oil industry in the future.

    Growth market fertility treatment

    In a recent interview, Alison Coutts, Executive Chairman of Memphasys, announced that the company expects to begin distributing FELIX in the second half of this year. The FELIX device helps in the separation of sperm for couples who wish to have children. In addition, the medical innovation should also be able to be used for animals in the future. The market for artificial insemination is growing because more and more couples decide to have their own child at a later age and the natural chances of a successful pregnancy then decrease significantly.

    Investors shy away from risk

    The two financial houses Commerzbank and Wirecard have also come under enormous pressure in recent weeks. While the Wirecard shares are already trading above the level of December 2019 again, the value of the Commerbank shares is still close to the all-time low. The advantage of the payment service provider Wirecard is that, despite curfews, online transactions are processed via the company's systems. At Commerzbank, there are fears that the default risks for the bank will increase with ongoing economic restrictions in connection with the Corona Crisis.

    Big Dividends from Mercedes, RE Royalties and British American Tobacco

    • Volatility

    The stock markets are entering a challenging phase. Stock market history shows that in years with US midterm elections, the preceding months are often volatile and regularly result in losses. August and September, in particular, tend to show significant weakness. This does not necessarily mean the pattern will repeat, but recent market developments are sending warning signals. Optimism is running very high, which makes indices vulnerable to corrections. The latest Bank of America fund manager survey made this clear: professional investors' cash allocation currently stands at just 3.5%, a historically low level. In other words, funds have relatively little capital available to deploy into purchases during market setbacks. One alternative during such phases is high-dividend stocks, which also offer long-term opportunities. That is why today we are taking a closer look at Mercedes-Benz, RE Royalties and British American Tobacco.

    250% Opportunity with a Newcomer vs. Gold Giants: Barrick, Agnico Eagle and Kobo Resources in Focus

    When inflation erodes purchasing power and global debt mountains rise, it is traditionally time for humanity's oldest safeguard against crisis: GOLD. In the current turbulent environment, the precious metal is once again proving its historic role as an indestructible rock in the storm. While paper currencies are being gradually devalued by ongoing inflation, the intrinsic value of the precious metal remains intact. This fundamental confidence is currently being bolstered by unprecedented momentum, as central banks worldwide are buying up physical gold at a record-breaking pace to make their own foreign exchange reserves crisis-proof. Those who wish not only to protect their wealth amid this shift in the monetary climate but also to actively profit from the rising demand for gold will find the most exciting opportunities among producers and explorers. The stocks of giants Agnico Eagle and Barrick Mining offer the perfect combination of operational excellence, first-class mine locations, and defensive dividend strength. For more speculative investors, the agile explorer Kobo Resources offers a highly attractive "multibagger" opportunity in West Africa. It is worth taking a closer look.

    When an economy lives beyond its means, many ultimately pay the price: the currency loses value, the economy suffers, and the stock market becomes more volatile. In the US, the national debt now stands at nearly USD 40 trillion, as Handelsblatt warned in its Wednesday edition. According to the report, the US Treasury is increasingly attempting to address the problem by issuing debt securities with ever-shorter maturities, with all the associated risks. Alarm bells have long been ringing in the financial markets. Those looking to protect their wealth should consider tangible assets. Gold could once again become an attractive option—we present an exciting opportunity and shed light on the current state of the financial system.
