The Corona Crisis has hit traditional retailers especially hard. Social segregation, curfews, and other measures to control the virus's spread have made it difficult or even impossible to shop in stores or shopping malls. As a result, the majority of consumers have adjusted their online purchasing behavior. The trend to continue shopping online even after the pandemic will remain strengthened by better online offerings. The challenge for brands now is to increase their online visibility.

    Hard work pays off

    This advertising slogan belongs to the industry giant Nike. However, the team around the award-winning urban sportswear and accessories brand RYU Apparel has worked hard for success since the beginning of last year. By replacing the entire management team, several rounds of financing, and a clear strategy, the Canadians have a clear goal. By 2030, Cesare Fazari wants to build a billion-dollar company out of RYU Apparel.

    A great deal achieved

    The first "short financial year" for the new management of RYU Apparel was extremely successful. Over several financing rounds, almost USD 6 million was raised. These additional capital resources allow RYU to continue to assert itself as a global lifestyle and high-performance athletic apparel brand, with the registered trademark "Urban Athletic Apparel." In addition to developing new designs, building the wholesale division, and making significant investments in the online presence, the capital raised was put into targeted marketing and collaborations.

    Golf, skateboarding and Hollywood

    To raise awareness within Generation Z, RYU entered into a groundbreaking partnership as the official supplier of high-performance apparel and bags for Canada Skateboard at the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. It also expanded its product line to include golf apparel. In addition to influencer marketing and expanding its social media channels, the "Respect Your Universe" Company additionally plans to make its presence known with product placement in Branded Entertainment's new television series "The Count."

    In 2021, CEO Fazari wants to continue full throttle. He is willing to leverage his more than 30 years of commercial retail experience to establish thousands of turnkey locations with key commercial franchises in North America, such as Shoppers Drug Mart, Marshalls, Trade Secrets and Public Mobile.

    Successful turnaround

    The times of distress for the award-winning fashion label RYU, "Respect Your Universe," seem to be over. The expansion and optimization of Internet activities, the establishment of wholesale in North America, and targeted collaborations put RYU Apparel in a position to take off in 2021.

    Currently, online sales contribute 80% of total sales. The Company reported that online revenues doubled in the third and fourth quarters compared to the same period the previous year. The goal of turning RYU Apparel into a billion-dollar company is still a long way off; however, the course is set for this to happen. Currently, the Canadians' share price is at CAD 0.16, and the stock market value amounts to EUR 18.59 million.

    Completely cleared

    The Chinese carmaker NIO cleared the maximum placement volume of USD 1.5 billion by issuing two convertible bonds. The completion of the issue of convertible bonds with a volume of USD 1.3 billion, plus a greenshoe option totaling USD 200 million, was announced yesterday. With the issuance of new shares, NIO, in which Internet giants Tencent and Baidu have stakes, last raised USD 3 billion in funding in December 2020.

    The market entry into Europe is planned for this year. So far, the Company has only been active in China. The Chinese recently presented the Company's first e-sedan, the ET7 model. It is the Company's fourth production vehicle and scheduled to hit the market in early 2022.

    Furious debt mania, a thorough portfolio check is necessary! Allianz, Blackrock Silver, Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank in focus!

    From one high to the next - it is not just equities that are booming in Europe, the US and China; it is mainly debt. First Corona, then Ukraine, now Israel - there is no end to the flood of borrowing. Armaments are now being financed on credit, while the accompanying recession is draining the coffers. Real estate is becoming a hot topic: New builds are hardly affordable for families, and old buildings are swallowing up thousands of euros in green-tinted renovation costs. The Federal Constitutional Court has now put a retroactive stop to the creative spending culture in Berlin, and a new budget plan is necessary. Keeping a clear head as an investor in this environment is challenging. We look at the opportunities in the financial sector, but perhaps precious metals will also be the anchor that saves the day.

    Climate change is increasingly threatening our lives, with few areas worldwide considered safe. Sea levels are rising, and polar ice is melting. Many regions are experiencing severe storms and increased rainfall, while others face growing risks of heatwaves and droughts. Since the Paris Climate Agreement at the latest, countries have been stepping up their efforts to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. This has created a market that experts predict will increase eightfold by the end of the decade.

    Deutsche Bank, Globex Mining, Barrick Gold - Enthusiasm for gold is back

    Despite several interest rate hikes, the price of gold has recently risen to over USD 2,000 again. Even though the latest increase coincided with the attack on Israel, this is unlikely to be the reason for it. Instead, the high demand from central banks is responsible for the steady gold price. Within the first 9 months, the central banks bought a whopping 800 tons of gold. That is a new record. The geopolitical tensions could also turn more and more private individuals into so-called gold bugs, who are making provisions for crises and assuming that gold will continue to rise in the long term. As the Fed has paused interest rates, this could give the gold price a further boost.
