Price developments on stock markets around the world have led to enormous losses for investors in recent weeks. Particularly hard hit were investors who worked leveraged with credits and had to sell their positions in connection with falling prices. An escalating situation due to the Corona Pandemic, accelerated by imbalances - a nightmare. The development of measures to curb the spread has serious social and economic consequences. There was a sell-off in all asset classes. A lot of collateral damage, but at the same time an opportunity for building a position.

    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.

    Why are Investors Overlooking Power Metallic Mines while Billionaires like Friedland, McEwen and Rinehart are Buying in?

    16.55 meters at 10.08% copper, with 98.9% laboratory recovery. A shareholder roster that reads like a who's who of the global mining industry. By all accounts, a re-rating of Power Metallic should have occurred long ago. But it has not. The stock price is still languishing, while the company continues to deliver high-grade drill results in Québec. What explains this disconnect - and how much longer can it persist?

    Consolidation in the Gold Sector: Solid Returns with Newmont and Barrick – Top Opportunity Lahontan Gold

    The gold market has entered a new phase in recent months. With gold prices stabilizing above the USD 5,000 per ounce mark and occasionally reaching peaks of up to USD 6,300, the environment for commodity investments has fundamentally changed. Top-tier jurisdictions have become an absolute necessity for investors and mining companies alike, especially given the current geopolitical landscape. Nevada, which has taken the top spot globally in the Fraser Institute's Investment Attractiveness Index, is considered the premier destination for investors. While Newmont and Barrick Mining dominate operational production by volume through their Nevada Gold Mines joint venture, Lahontan Gold is increasingly coming into focus amid a wave of consolidation. As established mining operators face declining ore grades, Lahontan offers an ideal combination of infrastructure maturity and exploration leverage with its Santa Fe project. A closer look at the business models shows how these companies are positioning themselves to benefit from the current market cycle.

    It is remarkable how quickly critical metal shortages can translate into stock gains! Antimony Resources (ATMY | CA0369271014) stock soared from EUR 0.33 to EUR 1.00 within three months - a clean triple! The backdrop for this development likely lies in the multitude of geopolitical conflicts, as they require the use of extensive technology and military equipment. Here, the raw material antimony is at the top of procurement lists. In addition to all kinds of defense technology, the metal is also needed in data centers. Server racks contain kilograms of antimony-containing, flame-retardant cable sheathing. The solar industry also uses sodium antimonate, and complex specialty alloys benefit from the material properties of this flame-retardant element. What is next for Antimony Resources?
