BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, Bayer - Redefining the frontiers of medicine
The biotech and pharmaceutical sector is playing an increasingly important role in our society. This can be attributed primarily to demographic change, as people worldwide are getting older and older. As life expectancy increases, so does the prevalence of age-related diseases such as cancer and heart disease. These two disease categories place a significant burden on healthcare systems and require innovative solutions for diagnosis, treatment and prevention. After Corona, this could be where the next global blockbuster is developed. We look at three interesting candidates.

Attention: Extended correction - Buy the right stocks now! Bayer, Viva Gold, TUI, and BASF are on the list!
Higher inflation and rising interest rates - this connection should be clear to investors. The interest rate level in Germany has moved from negative territory to 2.77% in the 10-year range, but stocks continued to rise cheerfully. The party led to all-time highs of 16,528 points in July, but the fundamental situation of the companies deteriorated in parallel. Only after repeated warnings from the US Federal Reserve did the explosive NASDAQ also enter a correction. And it continues. Yesterday, the CEO of US investment bank JPMorgan, Dimon, warned that the world may not be prepared for 7% capital market interest rates. He and Dr. Jens Erhardt, the CEO of the asset management company DJE, warn of stronger setbacks on the stock markets. Some stocks have already undergone a strong correction. Here is a brief overview.

Unbelievable! Hands off AI, biotech in rebound! Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Morphosys
The big fall decline is now over. It is always a difficult time, but the so-called "Triple Witching" went relatively smoothly this time. The European Central Bank (ECB), in its first interest rate meeting after the summer break, decided to raise key rates by another quarter point to 4.00%, up from the previous 3.75% in July. At the same time, it lowered its inflation forecast for 2025 and the outlook for economic growth in the Eurozone for the years 2023 to 2025. Economic risks are increasing, but inflation remains the determining factor for interest rates. Expectations that the US Federal Reserve (FED) will announce an interest rate pause at its next meeting on Wednesday have boosted confidence. Last week's big losers were the recently favoured AI stocks Nvidia, Microsoft and C3.ai. However, the biotech sector has recently started to climb again. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Almonty Industries, Covestro, Bayer AG - Which stocks are taking off?
Energy, pharmaceuticals and defence are the performance candidates of the hour. To support further economic growth, countries like South Korea and France are turning to nuclear power, which requires the metal tungsten. Almonty Industries, which has specialized in the mining and processing of this rare metal since 2009, is particularly eye-catching here. The current takeover talks of the DAX-listed group Covestro show how valuable know-how can be. The Abu Dhabi-based oil company Adnoc is very interested in Covestro's specialist knowledge of plastics for e-mobility, building insulation and adhesives. Bayer AG also demonstrates significant expertise. Researchers at its US subsidiary BlueRock Therapeutics have achieved a breakthrough in treating Parkinson's disease. Find out which shares are now taking off here.

BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, Bayer - Tiger mosquitoes, and rising Corona numbers bring biotech back in focus
Corona infections are already rising, even though autumn has not even begun. Hospitals are already fearing a high burden during the winter. Gerald Gaß, the Chairman of the Board of the German Hospital Federation, advised high-risk patients, their close contacts and healthcare workers to keep their flu and COVID-19 vaccinations up to date. Due to constant stress triggered by crises and workload-related pressures, the number of heart patients have also increased in recent years. At the end of August, entire neighborhoods and streets in Paris were closed off to spray insecticides against tiger mosquitoes, which spread diseases like dengue and Zika viruses, among others. This is reason enough for us to examine three companies fighting these threats.

Cantourage, Amazon, Bayer: Young entrants soaring, old players in reorientation
The time has finally come in Germany: the federal government has given the green light for the private use of cannabis. Since 2017, doctors in Germany have been allowed to prescribe cannabis as a therapeutic agent. The growing market in this segment has been recognized by the team at Cantourage, which focuses on the medical production of active ingredients from the hemp plant. The leadership of Bayer could use some relief. Analysts at Berenberg Bank have put the Leverkusen-based company's balance sheet through its paces and discovered a few things that have now downgraded Bayer's stock from Buy to Hold. Amazon's Cloud Business takes another step forward. The Company's in-house AI is moving into the documentation of medical health reports. Find out what it is all about here.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Bayer - Who will have trend-setting news first?
Pharmaceutical and biotech stocks are among the most volatile sectors in the financial markets. Single news stories about new developments or product announcements can not only cause short-term price swings but also have long-term implications, increasing both risk and opportunity for investors. If a breakthrough drug is developed, old preparations can become obsolete - this is good for the innovative company but detrimental to established market participants. As an investor, it is advisable to select specific companies and anticipate directional news through some research.

Gold rush mood at Manuka Resources and Rock Tech Lithium, and Bayer writes billion-dollar losses
Australian gold and silver explorer Manuka Resources has successfully shipped its third gold shipment to Australasia's leading independent precious metals assayer, ABC Refinery. Shares in Manuka Resources rose nearly 8% following the news. In addition, the Company now plans regular weekly shipments as it processes various stockpiles from its Mt Boppy gold project. Bayer AG is reporting losses of billions of dollars due to write-downs in its Monsanto agriculture division, again fueling breakup rumors. The group is struggling with significant declines in its glyphosate-based weedkiller business, which is weighing heavily on its finances. A promising newcomer on the commodities horizon is emerging right in Germany's Brandenburg region. There, Rock Tech Lithium is working to develop battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate by building and operating lithium hydroxide production facilities.
