Infineon, BrainChip, Palantir - Spoiled for choice!
The chip shortage is having an increasingly negative impact on supply chains. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, short-time work has now been declared at some suppliers to the automotive industry. First, the pandemic and the associated uncertainties among consumers caused less demand. Now, demand is suddenly back, but it cannot be satisfied because the supply chains from Asia are not yet functioning properly. Market observers expect these constraints to continue into next year. The chip crisis has now existed since the Evergreen disaster in the Suez Canal and seems to be with us for longer. We take a look at some tech stocks in the near vicinity.

Steinhoff, MAS Gold, Infineon - The sleeping giant
Rising inflation, historically high government debt, and central banks continue to open the money floodgates and keep interest rates at zero. One would think gold should be more in demand than ever due to the general data. But the precious metal has remained in a deep sleep since its highs of last year. The situation resembles that of about 5 years ago. Back then, the gold sentiment was poor, and interest in gold mining stocks was low until the precious yellow metal put in a performance of just under 30% in the subsequent 6 months. Incidentally, the gold mining index XAU exploded by around 180% in the same period.

Infineon, AdTiger, Alibaba: China as a huge comeback opportunity
Digital business models have enormous advantages. One of the most important trump cards is scaling. Once a digital product is established on the market, more and more customers can acquire it without much effort. While classic industrial products depend on new factories, digital players simply buy in computing or storage capacity and serve the new demand at lightning speed. We have selected three exciting stocks related to digitalization.

Infineon, BrainChip, Nvidia - The chip shortage remains
The automotive industry was one of the first to feel the chip shortage. While supply chains typically operate on a just-in-time basis, they had ordered fewer chips due to the Corona Crisis. Then, when it was already too late, they realized that the economy was going unexpectedly well and the chips were running out. However, due to the pandemic, there were restrictions worldwide, so it was impossible to produce and deliver as usual. In addition, the Suez Canal was blocked, and, most recently, a port in China was also completely closed. The supply chains are still disrupted. At the same time, progress goes on and on. Artificial intelligence, cloud computing, autonomous driving, electrification and co. all require chips. Factories are running at full capacity, and yet demand cannot currently be met. Today we analyze three companies from the chip industry.

Almonty Industries, Infineon, VW - This is just the teaser - What is next?
From A for antimony to V for vanadium, the European Union's list of critical raw materials now includes 30 materials, including lithium, cobalt, rare earths and tungsten. These raw materials are characterized by low availability and high economic importance. Many key European industries rely on these raw materials, such as the automotive, steel, aerospace, IT, healthcare, or renewable energy sectors. Demand is increasingly being driven by new products and technologies such as electromobility, digitalization and the energy transition. The supply cannot keep up with this. Bottlenecks are emerging, which, among other things, are leading to higher prices for the critical raw materials and posing major challenges for demand-side industries. How can investors position themselves successfully?

Nvidia, AMD, BrainChip, Infineon - Scarcity: These chip stocks are exploding!
The global chip markets remain tight, and a recent PwC study predicts that the global semiconductor market will continue to experience solid growth years. The authors forecast that chip sales will rise to USD 575 billion as early as 2022. Starting from the USD 481 billion in the previous record year 2018, this would correspond to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% - not even the pandemic slowed this increase noticeably. In Europe, the automotive industry will become the primary sales market for chip manufacturers. A new growth driver is semiconductors to support artificial intelligence (AI) in autonomous mobility. We present a few industry representatives.

Orocobre, Kodiak Copper, Infineon Technologies - Good for the climate, even better for your portfolio
Heat records and droughts on the one hand and heavy rainfall and flooding on the other - climate change is no longer an abstract threat but a reality. Speculating about the causes is idle. It is more important to tackle the problem. Phasing out coal-fired power generation by 2038? Much too late, experts criticize. And politicians are also slowly realizing that it is already five to twelve. That is why they are really stepping on the gas! We need to say goodbye to the combustion engine, decarbonize industrial production, and expand renewable energy sources. But this requires certain raw materials. Here are three companies with a bright future ahead of them.

Coinbase, Almonty, Infineon - Deals for the Future
"Thinking about Tomorrow Today" is a quote that not only corporate leaders need to follow when it comes to establishing new business models to secure the future. It also applies to the energy transition. What use are ever more sharply formulated climate targets by politicians if it is not even certain at the moment where the scarce raw materials for the production of renewable energies such as electromobility, photovoltaics or wind power are to be obtained from over the next few years. The companies that have already thought about tomorrow are therefore becoming the new stars on the stock market.

BMW, NSJ Gold, Infineon - Enormous demand
In recent months, the shortage of semiconductors has been a major headache for the manufacturing sector, especially for carmakers. Production losses and short-time work were the result of the global shortage. There seems to be no improvement in sight. Leading chip manufacturer Intel expects the chip shortage to worsen in the coming months and does not expect the situation to ease for at least two years. There is a similar shortage of raw materials for the energy transition. Position yourself in good time.

Infineon, Desert Gold, BASF - Prepared for the future
The energy turnaround and the achievement of climate neutrality are back in the news as the Corona pandemic fades. Politicians around the world are supporting with billions in subsidies. But the industry is under pressure. Climate neutrality requires the introduction of new production technologies in many sectors, and in areas such as basic materials, the conversion of entire production lines. On the other hand, competitiveness should not suffer in this historic transformation.
