Deutsche Bank, Meta Materials, Aixtron - A time for optimists
Fears of a global recession and a hard landing of the economy are becoming more likely every day. The sharp rise in the US dollar, the energy crisis in Europe and the slump in growth in China are the main reasons for the prevailing pessimism. Concerns about a further sell-off are also growing on the stock markets. Last week, for example, the Fear & Greed Index peaked at 18 with the verdict "extreme fear". In parallel, the S&P 500 also marked its interim low. Since then, the signs have been pointing to recovery, both in sentiment and on the markets. An opportunity for the optimists!

Defence Therapeutics, Commerzbank - Like BioNTech in March 2020?
After price shocks and recession fears, the pandemic has also been back in the public eye since last week. German Health Minister Karl Lauterbach presented the vaccination strategy for the fall - and warned of an autumn wave. On the markets, the pandemic should be over, with a few exceptions. But Corona and BioNTech are suitable blueprints for other companies. We explain where else a special boom could occur and where investors are better off being cautious.

Nel ASA, dynaCERT, Plug Power - Hydrogen market booming
In January 2021, the first hydrogen hype came to an end. Subsequently, many shares in the sector lost more than 80% in value. However, since the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict, the sector has again come into focus. The reason is the energy shortage, especially in Europe. Green hydrogen promises to store energy and consume it when needed. But since the US climate and tax package has provided hundreds of billions of dollars for zero-emission technologies, this market is also seen as promising. So politically, there is a tailwind for the industry. We, therefore, take a look at three companies with hydrogen technologies.

Attention, turnaround: Bayer, BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, MorphoSys - These biotech stocks are way down!
Even though more people are being diagnosed with cancer today, and the disease remains the leading cause of death, the number of people dying from cancer is trending downward. In recent years, respectively, survival rates have been steadily increasing. The relative proportion of survivors based on all cancer types in the US has increased from 50% to more than 67% over the past two decades, so today, two out of three patients with a serious disease are still alive after five years. In Europe, too, there has been an increase in 5-year survival rates for the most common cancer types. This is encouraging and draws attention to the oncology sector. Which biotech stocks are significant here and offer a good entry point?

Almonty Industries, Mercedes-Benz, Amazon - Strong raw materials for profitable cloud technology
To ensure that logistics and supply chains are better protected against failures in the future, the Mercedes-Benz Group is relying on a strong partner for the internal cloud: Microsoft. Through global networking, potential supply bottlenecks are to be identified and cushioned at an early stage. The rapidly increasing demand for semiconductor and battery technology is bringing companies like Almonty Industries into focus. In the raw materials sector, the Company has specialized in tungsten mining in geopolitically secure areas such as South Korea. The metal tungsten is a key element for the computer and automotive industry. Top dog Amazon is also increasingly relying on its cash cow AWS. While the e-commerce business is being pushed by marketing campaigns, the Group is developing smart processors for its cloud business.

Fear of the numbers at Nel ASA? Is the knot bursting at BYD and dynaCERT?
Climate change, high gas prices, high oil prices and dependence on "difficult" energy suppliers: There are many reasons why hydrogen and electromobility are among the undisputed topics of the future. Shares from these sectors are also among the absolute favorites of investors. But despite this, many share prices are currently on a downward trend. These include the shares of Nel ASA, BYD and dynaCERT. Is now the time to enter? There is an analyst recommendation for Nel, but the outlook for the quarterly figures next week is causing fear. BYD is shining with record sales and wants to take a division public. dynaCERT's technology for reducing CO2 emissions is being recognized more and more. The board expects a strong current quarter, and the discussion about climate targets in the transport industry speak for the Canadians.

Your crash, our chance: Vonovia, Aspermont, Deutsche Bank
UBS warns that real estate prices in Frankfurt am Main and Munich are too high. Industry insiders also see hard traces of braking on the real estate market elsewhere. For a long time, real estate was considered a safe investment class for the wealthy. The trend was upward for many years. Nowhere else was it so easy to park capital and generate income. But now everything is changing. Shares, like those of the real estate company Vonovia, have already come back. We shed light on the sector and show alternatives.

Geely, Kodiak Copper, Aston Martin Lagonda - Copper with the next chance
If investors had followed the sensitive early economic indicator, they would have been spared a loss of almost 25% in the DAX alone. Because already at the beginning of March, the copper price showed the first signs of fatigue after climbing to a new all-time high of USD 10,813.36 per ton. Almost half a year later, the red metal is not only trading more than 20% lower, but the recession has already arrived globally. However, despite the economic downturn, global demand for the red metal far exceeds supply. Due to the upgrading of renewable energies, the gap is likely to widen even further in the next few years, which argues for a rising base price in the long term.

BYD, Infinity Stone Ventures, Rock Tech Lithium - Electromobility with rapid growth ahead
The IEA (International Energy Agency) has recently issued forecasts for the growth of electromobility up to 2030. While only about 10% of all vehicles were electric in 2021, this figure is expected to rise to at least 60% by 2030. That would significantly reduce emissions, but the energy transition requires raw materials from copper to cobalt to lithium, which is essential for the production of batteries for e-cars. S&P Global has calculated that even if all existing lithium projects were to go into production, there would still be a supply deficit of 220,000 to 2 million tons in 2030. Reason enough to take a closer look at three companies based on the sector.

Is electric refueling getting more and more expensive? There are solutions! Mercedes-Benz, Altech Advanced Materials, Varta
Diesel is unlikely to cost less than EUR 2 per litre anytime soon. But at least modern combustion engines are considered efficient and flexible. Current media reports about electricity costs at charging stations for e-cars show a different picture. Some providers are shamelessly exploiting the shortage of charging stations and rising energy prices. Prices of EUR 0.70 per kilowatt hour are not uncommon at public charging stations. Those who fill up a lot in public areas often pay more for electromobility than for driving a combustion engine. But what does this mean for the trend toward electric driving?
