E-car surprise in China: Mercedes-Benz, BYD, Grid Metals
E-cars? Yes, please! At least, that is the case for Mercedes CEO Ola Källenius. He sees his company clearly focused on the electric drive - regardless of technology openness. This seems to be paying off at Mercedes: In the first quarter, the Swabians sold almost twice as many e-cars as in the previous year. But how far can this growth go? What do the absolute figures say? We make the comparison and outline investment opportunities.

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - Oil shares against inflationary pressure
The oil price has been rising for about a month. The trigger was the decision of OPEC+ to cut its production by 1 million barrels per day. The demand for oil is increasing in China as the lockdown measures are being eased and the economy is gaining momentum. In addition, US inventories continue to decline. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects record demand in 2023, with demand rising by 2 million barrels per day year-on-year while supply falls by 400,000 barrels. As a result, oil prices could reignite inflation. Investors who want to protect themselves against this could invest in oil stocks. We, therefore, take a look at 3 oil companies.

Significant upside potential - Varta, Manuka Resources, BASF
Undeterred by the geopolitical and economic uncertainties, the world's stock markets have so far only known the way up. The German DAX index even reached a new high for the year of 15,832 points. The precious metal gold and Bitcoin also reached new highs for the year. Despite the ongoing rally in the financial markets, there are still attractive entry opportunities in lagging stocks.

Opportunity-oriented investing: Barrick Gold, Canadian North Resources, Steinhoff
Inflation in the US is rising less quickly than expected - but what is the gold price doing? It remains at a high level. The reason is that the situation in many currency areas remains tense. The Eurozone, for example, is still far from inflation rates with a five before the decimal point. Investors should therefore continue to keep gold and commodities on their radar. We show which investments could be worthwhile.

dynaCERT, Daimler Truck, Plug Power - Into the future with hydrogen solutions
We are at the beginning of a new era of sustainability and efficiency. The consumption of fossil fuels in Western industrial nations is to be significantly reduced in the coming years. However, alternatives are needed. The future of energy supply could lie in hydrogen. Using electrolysis, water is broken down into its components: oxygen and hydrogen. The clean fuel produced can then be used directly or stored to produce electricity when needed. If renewable energy sources are used to produce green hydrogen, there will be no CO2 emissions. Today we look at three companies using hydrogen technology for their products.

Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Merck KGaA - Data power ensures high-speed commercialization
Germany is one of the best-funded countries in terms of research-based pharmaceutical companies. Nevertheless, Stefan Oelrich of Bayer Healthcare is critical. He thinks that data protection is putting the brakes on research. Defence Therapeutics, on the other hand, relies on enormous speed. Thanks to their data-driven ACCUM™ platform technology, they are helping mRNA vaccines, in particular, to achieve more intensive results. Pharmaceutical giant Merck is currently experiencing just how valuable data is in the US. In a Phase III clinical trial, the FDA stopped the enrolment of further patients, thus slowing down the research. The reason for the stop, however, is a serious one...

Battle for scarce raw materials - Nordex, Orestone Mining, Glencore
The battle for raw materials has become increasingly intense in recent years due to the energy transition. The increasing demand for renewable energies to reduce global dependence on fossil fuels and combat climate change has led to increased scarcity. Metals such as copper, lithium, cobalt and rare earths are crucial for the production of batteries, solar cells and other renewable energy technologies. Competition for access to these raw materials has political, economic and social implications worldwide.

Oil more expensive after OPEC shock - Exxon Mobil, Saturn Oil + Gas, Deutsche Rohstoff AG
Supply is getting tighter, and prices are rising significantly. By cutting oil production quotas, the eight producer countries of OPEC+ ended the correction in the oil market that had been going on since July last year. This is bad news for motorists in Germany because the days of "cheap" petrol and diesel below EUR 2.00 will soon be a thing of the past. In addition to the producing countries, it is mainly producers from the western regions that are benefiting.

Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, Mercedes-Benz Group - Why the metal tungsten is pushing the energy transition
South Korea is supporting its economy by building new nuclear power plants. In this context, the country has entered into a cooperation with Great Britain to jointly use and further develop renewable energies and their technologies. For Almonty Industries, this means two more potential customers for its mineral, tungsten. Due to its extreme resistance, tungsten is also used in the construction of nuclear reactors. Meanwhile, Rheinmetall has won a new major order from China. And the Mercedes-Benz Group share also bodes well for global sales thanks to Q1/23 results.

Vonovia, Barrick Gold, Blackrock Silver: Gold and silver shares in demand again
Gold and silver continue to develop strongly. The prices for the precious metals are shooting upward this week. Price targets for gold ranging from USD 2,500 to USD 3,000 are creating a good mood. And new all-time highs are also expected for silver. Meanwhile, shares in the sector can also profit from this. Barrick Gold looks very interesting from a chart perspective, and analysts will probably have to adjust the assumed gold price upward in their earnings forecasts. The second sector giant Newmont, on the other hand, has opened the takeover carousel. Therefore, it should only be a matter of time before the explorers also jump on board. Blackrock Silver, for example, has exciting silver and lithium projects. And all of them are in the US. Experts also see initial entry opportunities in "concrete gold". After the sell-off, analysts recommend investing in Vonovia real estate shares.
