ThyssenKrupp, Manuka Resources, K+S - Analysts are optimistic
High energy prices and significant increases in inflation and interest rates are causing headaches for investors. However, the stock market is punishing a number of shares too heavily. Despite the challenging environment, analysts identify several attractive entry opportunities. Stock markets always assess the future; the temporarily distorted perception of opportunities and risks opens up many investment opportunities for forward-looking investors.

K+S AG, BrainChip, Bayer - Shares in waiting position
At the end of last week, FED head Jerome Powell brought down the stock markets with the announcement of further interest rate steps and a hawkish stance by the US Federal Reserve. A similar scenario looms next week at the European Central Bank meeting. Here, speculation is mounting that an interest rate step of even 0.75% could be imminent due to rampant inflation. In the long term, however, the contingent of the European monetary guardians is limited because too strong an increase would lead to the collapse of the debt countries. Moreover, this would mean a further slowdown of the already weakening European economy. Therefore, a return to the loose monetary policy in the fourth quarter does not appear to be out of the question, which could result in a further stock market boom.

Germany is turning into a desert: Desert Gold, BASF, K+S - Opportunities in the agricultural and gold sector
Germany is experiencing the best summer in decades, causing many to cheer, whilst farmers are becoming increasingly desperate. Not that we wish for bad weather, no - it is simply a matter of balancing the climate because a certain amount of precipitation at the right time is vital for our soils. However, the number of rainy days this summer could be counted on one hand, and some areas did not receive any precious water at all. Farmers will therefore harvest an average of 30% less, with some fruits threatening total failure. The problem has less to do with climate change and more with desertification, which has been caused by human intervention for centuries.

Analysts enthusiastic about figures - K+S, Meta Materials, Deutsche Telekom
The second quarter results season is slowly drawing to a close. Overall, most companies were again able to surprise on the upside despite recession fears and supply chain problems. In addition, forecasts for the year were largely maintained despite risks relating to energy procurement and costs. Due to the correction in the first half of the year, many companies offer attractive entry opportunities at their current levels. In addition, analysts see price increases of over 50% for various stocks.

Who benefits from recession and inflation? BASF, Viva Gold, K+S
The market is currently staging a minor bear market rally. The reason: Falling energy prices and the first signs of lower inflation are fuelling hopes that the central banks may pause their interest rate turnaround sooner than expected. The prospect of a soft landing for the global economy has even sent cyclicals rising again in recent days and weeks. But what if inflation stays or the economy shrinks significantly in 2023?

Almonty Industries, K+S, E.ON - These companies benefit from the energy transition
The situation on the energy markets remains tense. The German Minister of Economics received a rejection from Qatar. Alternatives are urgently needed, such as solar and wind power. Almonty Industries is well positioned to source materials for these energies. The world's leading supplier of tungsten can become a decisive player in the market for the hunt for raw materials. Rising prices are benefiting the Company in this regard. The changed prices, in turn, play into the hands of fertilizer producer K+S. Higher average prices in both customer segments compensated for increased costs. In Western Europe, prices fell due to demand, which led to increased sales in Eastern and Northern Europe. Energy network operator E.ON warned of "valuation risks for investments" when publishing last year's results in March and surprised with the current results.

K+S, Globex Mining, Barrick Gold - Has the bottom been reached for commodity stocks?
Recession fears have had a grip on the commodities sector in recent weeks. Copper was quoted below USD 7,000 per ton again for the first time. Two other factors create additional pressure. First, there is the strong dollar. The last interest rate hikes failed to lower the inflation rate. At the same time, the strong USD is making raw materials more expensive, which has led to a drop in demand. On the other hand, the zero-Covid policy in China is slowing demand. Nevertheless, the outlook for commodity stocks is good. At the moment, many companies are taking a wait-and-see approach because of the uncertainties. If the recession does not materialize, prices will soon rise again. The three companies we are taking a closer look at today will also benefit from this.

Allianz, Pathfinder Ventures, K+S AG - Hot stocks for summer
Summer, sun, sunshine! There is a vacation mood in the air, with temperatures in Germany climbing close to the 40-degree mark. Now one just has to get on the plane and fly south. But wait, the keyword is fly. Due to staff shortages both in the air and on the ground, there are queues in many places, bottlenecks in baggage handling and even cancellations of flights. Meanwhile, those who want a more relaxed experience can vacation at a campsite. In North America, there are promising listed providers with considerable growth potential.

Rheinmetall, Alpha Copper, K+S AG - Leaders in the industries of the future
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock faces major challenges in the global fight against the climate crisis. "We simply cannot afford further postponement and compromise as a world as a whole," the Green politician warned in Berlin on Tuesday ahead of the conclusion of the Petersberg Climate Dialogue. Thus, the German government is accelerating the shift to renewable energies, whatever the cost. As a result, demand for copper will rise sharply. The red metal is currently correcting, and a new entry opportunity with attractive producers is again given. Demand for fertilizers is also likely to increase. Here, too, investors are likely to sense a new opportunity after the past correction.

Where scarcity turns to yield: TUI, Defense Metals, K+S
Long lines at baggage check-ins, sold-out fan heaters and expensive sunflower oil: everything is in short supply at the moment. Given the shortages, many economists anticipate that it could become a nail in the coffin for the economy. As the economic survey by the Institute for Economic Research (IER) shows, the construction industry, in particular, is heading for a recession. Many developers simply no longer feel like planning unpredictable projects. We highlight other sectors and companies characterized by scarcity and point out opportunities.
