Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Newmont - Eyes are on the FED
On Wednesday, September 21, the FED is expected to raise interest rates again. After the poor inflation rates in the past week, the fear of a large interest rate step of 100 basis points is going around. The indices reacted immediately and priced in the possible rate hike. So did the gold price, which has been suffering from rising interest rates and the strong dollar for weeks anyway. It does not help that gold has long been considered a hedge against inflation. The precious metal cannot currently take on this function, but that could change if the expectation of Stanley Druckenmiller, a billionaire and former hedge fund manager, is correct that the stock markets will hardly yield any returns in the next 10 years. So today, we look at three gold companies.

Nordex, Aspermont, TeamViewer AG - New opportunities for growth stocks
The skies for growth stocks have clouded over considerably since the beginning of the year with the change in strategy by the central banks. With all their might, the monetary guardians want to curb rampant inflation with several interest rate hikes. This week, the Fed is expected to make a third major interest rate hike, with experts predicting a rise of 100 basis points. However, whether further interest rate steps will follow is likely to be at least questioned. If the fight against inflation continues to be played as a trump card for the re-election of the current government until the midterm elections in the US, a change of strategy is likely to be made afterwards at the latest in order not to bring the economy to a complete standstill. The result would be a bullish stock market, with growth stocks in particular likely to benefit significantly.

German economy is in danger of crashing: E.ON, Globex Mining, Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank in focus
Germany's free-market decline continues vehemently. After using about 40% of imported gas for electricity in recent years, local utilities now lack real alternatives. Prices are rising dramatically, and gas, in particular, seems to know only one direction - up! The dependence on energy imports and the intended sanctioning is becoming a price driver for local utilities, electricity production and thus the entire economy. As yet, there is little evidence of the benefits of the said climate change; so far, only the cost increases are noticeable. Shareholders should be alert to which areas could soon be affected.

Altech Advanced Materials, Tesla, BYD - German engineering before Germany as a business location
Germany is the land of engineers, and German engineering is known worldwide for its outstanding quality. Altech Advanced Materials, for example, has launched a joint venture with the Fraunhofer Institute IKTS to commercialize even more powerful batteries than before. CERENERGY® batteries can be used for renewable energy storage as well as for industrial and private household applications. They are resource efficient and provide a reliable energy supply. German e-car enthusiasts can also look forward to the launch of three BYD models in Germany. And competitor Tesla is moving from Germany back to the US - President Biden has created a government lure...

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, MicroStrategy - Catch a falling knife!
The recently published inflation data from the US sent not only the stock markets into the basement. Even the oil price, which has been bullish of late, went down. Precious metals, as well as cryptocurrencies, suffered the most from the inflation shock. With the US Federal Reserve meeting next week and the expectation of a significant interest rate step, new lows for the year could be marked for these two assets in particular, and a further sell-off could occur. However, it seems unlikely that further major interest rate hikes will take place in the medium term, as this would tend to favor a hard landing of the global economy. Thus, with an anti-cyclical entry, the chances of long-term price gains increase.

Fighting Cancer: BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Valneva, MorphoSys - Which biotech stock is ahead in Biden's Moonshot?
Since the original launch of the Cancer Moonshot in 2016, the US cancer community has made measurable progress toward three ambitious goals. Namely, accelerating the scientific discovery of cancer, fostering greater collaboration, and improving cancer data sharing. In early 2022, President Biden announced a relaunch of the Cancer Moonshot and named new goals: To cut the cancer death rate in half within 25 years and significantly improve the lives of people with cancer. The initiative is just getting a new lease on life in the United States. Some biotech shares could make significant gains in this environment.

Nordex, Rheinmetall, Barsele Minerals: Turnaround potential!
These three stocks have turnaround potential. Admittedly, investing is not easy in the current environment with inflation, rising interest rates and war in Ukraine. But challenging times offer great opportunities. Take Rheinmetall, for example: The stock has corrected by over 30%, yet the prospects are good and analysts also see a price potential of over 70%. Nordex has many problems of its own making, but here too, the industry environment is right, thanks to global investment packages for renewable energy. At Barsele Minerals, the gold price is a burden, but in the meantime, the market capitalization is well below the asset's value, and the recent capital increase was significantly oversubscribed.

dynaCERT, VARTA AG, Plug Power - Who wins, who loses?
The future of Europe's energy supply is being decided these days. Companies like VARTA in Germany have to console their investors with adjusted profit forecasts. A winner of this gas crisis can be dynaCERT. The Company, which specializes in hydrogen technologies for diesel engines, will be exhibiting at the IAA Transportation in Hanover from September 20 and can be contacted for an on-site discussion. Plug Power investors, on the other hand, will now have to be brave. Management is accused of insider trading, and a class action lawsuit has been filed in the US.

BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Varta - Breakthrough in the battery market
Electromobility is considered a key technology in the transformation of the transport sector. In 2021 alone, the number of new registrations and the market share of battery-powered vehicles more than doubled. In addition to the charging infrastructure, efficiency plays a decisive role in the expansion of e-cars. Another obstacle to rapid growth is likely to be the shortage of lithium, an essential raw material for the production of lithium-ion batteries, due to the high demand. A German company is about to start a revolution with new innovative technology. The main component of the new battery is regular table salt, which is available in extremely large quantities and is produced in highly diversified regions.

Rheinmetall, Defense Metals, MP Materials - The trend persists
And once again, the recently started upward movement on the stock markets is abruptly ended by new inflation data from the US. Consumer prices rose by 8.3% last month, the core rate by 6.3%. The figures were thus once again higher than economists' estimates, making further interest rate hikes more likely. Higher interest rates are a further burden on the economy. In addition, high demand is causing prices for urgently needed raw materials to rise further.
