Alibaba, Credissential, ASML – Profiteers and losers of the AI quake
Last week, the new Chinese chatbot DeepSeek caused the stock markets, particularly semiconductor stocks, to falter. Chip giant Nvidia lost 17% of its market value in one day and almost USD 600 billion in market capitalization. Whether DeepSeek can truly follow in the footsteps of ChatGPT after the initial euphoria is questionable. However, new models are coming to market that could steal market share from the established players in the future.

The raw materials revolution with Almonty Industries, Barrick Gold, and ASML - The architects of the digital future
Technological progress is impossible without strategic materials such as tungsten, gold and hyperpure silicon wafers for semiconductors. Three companies play a key role in ensuring the security of supply in the Western world. Almonty Industries is on the verge of opening a large tungsten mine in South Korea. The Sangdong mine, which can meet 10% of global tungsten demand, offers a real alternative to Chinese dominance for the first time – a strategic breakthrough, given that 97% of South Korea's tungsten demand has historically come from China. Barrick Gold reaffirms the stability of the precious metals sector with gold production of 943,000 ounces in the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, ASML, the world's leading manufacturer of lithography systems, is securing the future of chip production. Despite geopolitical tensions with China, ASML expects revenues of EUR 30 to 35 billion by 2025 - a clear signal of the growing importance of the semiconductor industry. We have three companies in focus.

DAX 20,000 - Breakout to Mega Bull Market, Enter Strategically Now: BYD, NIO, Almonty Industries, ASML and SMCI
This week could be the week. Just 2.5% separates the DAX-40 index from the magical 20,000-point mark. High-tech remains in demand, and last week, for the first time in months, automotive stocks also rose again. The Paris Motor Show closed its doors yesterday, and the result is clear: China dominated the exhibition with its new releases, showcasing innovation. And to the great chagrin of the EU, with prices on average 27% lower. At least the import duties were set in October, but the battle for the consumer has yet to be fought. Because Chinese vehicles are not only considerably cheaper, they have long since caught up with local manufacturers in terms of technology, features and design. Where are the opportunities for shareholders?

BrainChip, Prospect Ridge Resources, ASML - Ready for the mass market
Sentiment on the stock market continues to cloud over. Investors worry that the US Federal Reserve will fight the sharp rise in inflation by intervening more quickly with several interest rate hikes, causing prices worldwide to plummet. There is hardly any movement on the precious metals market, with gold remaining in the USD 1,800 range. On the other hand, the stock of a next-generation chip producer, which seems ready for the mass market, has moved.
