Nel ASA, Power Nickel, Varta - Positioning for the price explosion
In the last two years of the pandemic, both private households and commercial enterprises felt the impact of blown supply chains, from chip shortages to lack of lumber, to packaging materials. Extreme consumption is also taking place due to the ambitious achievement of climate targets. Electromobility is gobbling up enormous resources of key raw materials such as copper, lithium and nickel. Due to the significantly increasing demand for batteries, the demand for nickel is expected to continue to rise strongly in the coming years.

Gazprom, Alerio Gold, ThyssenKrupp: Ukraine conflict resolution as a door opener?
At the moment, the world is holding its breath. Not since the end of the Cold War have so many soldiers come together on European soil as is currently the case on the border between Russia and Ukraine. While German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is focusing on diplomacy, Kiev and the Baltic states would like to see more signals of deterrence. We will see which path is the better one or whether, in the end, a combination will once again avert the worst-case scenario. However, the fact is that the threat of war is rattling the markets. We profile three stocks.

Glencore, Nevada Copper, Newmont - Commodities as an investment
An escalation of the situation in Ukraine and a possible war directly in Europe is keeping the stock markets in turmoil. In addition, a faster than expected rise in interest rates in the US is causing uncertainty among investors. As a result, the precious metal gold has risen to its highest level since mid-2021 and, at least in the short term, will live up to its status as a crisis currency. Companies from the commodities sector are also performing strongly. The price of a ton of copper, for example, once again exceeded the psychologically important USD 10,000 mark. Due to the strong demand resulting from the energy transition, this trend is also likely to prevail in the longer term.

Steinhoff, TUI, Hong Lai Huat: Top News!
The Ukraine crisis, inflation and rising interest rates currently have the capital markets firmly in their grip. But even in these uncertain times, companies surprise positively, and there are exciting investment opportunities. For example, the shares of TUI and Steinhoff were up on Tuesday. News-driven gains. At Steinhoff, an important deadline for creditors expires in May. After two years of the pandemic, the desire to travel for Germans is greater than ever. The tourism group TUI benefits from this, and Lufthansa will continue to fly to Mallorca with the Boeing 747. The exciting real estate company Hong Lai Huat offers investors an interesting opportunity tomorrow, February 17.

The technical breakout: Barrick Gold, Tembo Gold, Delivery Hero - Huge gold rally ahead!
A lot is going on on the political fronts. Ukraine is put in fear by threatening gestures, and the West is mobilizing on Poland's border. With such maneuvers, the stock exchanges usually take a dive, and for gold and silver, it often produces a buy signal. A few days ago, there was an accompanying inflation figure of plus 7.5% from the United States. That signals a further increase in inflation, which was not expected even by the Fed. We are looking at potential winners from this large-scale situation.

BYD, Phoenix Copper, Freeport-McMoRan - The supercycle is on
Inflation has risen again in the US, posting its highest level since February 1982 at 7.5%. Experts do not yet see any easing in the face of high energy and commodity prices. On the contrary, the inflationary spiral continues to spin and is being further fueled by policymakers' increasingly ambitious climate neutrality targets. Here, especially the required materials such as copper, lithium and cobalt could multiply. Due to high demand and low supply, further bottlenecks, delays in supply chains and thus rising prices are only a matter of time. Profit from it.

Valneva, Cardiol Therapeutics, Pfizer - Great opportunities after setbacks
First, vaccine maker stocks were pushed down by fears of a pandemic ending by the Omicron variant. Add to that a nervous and challenging market environment that has to deal with interest rate hikes and inflation. Late last week, news that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was imminent added further worry lines. All of this is weighing on the markets, but these setbacks also offer investors opportunities. Today, we analyze three turnaround candidates in more detail.

Almonty Industries, Mercedes-Benz Group, Varta - Highs and lows, what to do?
Without raw materials, life in many sectors of the economy comes to a standstill. The economically most important raw materials with a high supply risk are referred to as critical raw materials. The European Commission counts 30 elements in this group, including tungsten and lithium. Demand rising sharply above supply has caused prices to increase significantly for some time. Raw material producers are on the winning side. Buyers have to do their homework.

Attention: Siemens Healthineers, Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, MorphoSys, Siemens - Riding the next hype with MedTech!
MedTech and pharma giants have been in high demand not only since the pandemic. The technification of diagnostics leads to the early detection of serious diseases and shortens the planning of necessary medical interventions. Of course, COVID-19 significantly impacts the availability and additional demand for high-tech in practices and emergency departments. It is creating a boom in demand from manufacturers rarely seen at this headline rate. We are looking at clear winners in medical digitization.

BYD, Yorkton Ventures, Standard Lithium - Winners of the mobility revolution!
The shift from fossil fuels to battery-powered vehicles is underway, and policymakers are keeping up the pressure with targets to reduce emissions from cars by at least 55% and trucks by 30% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. Demand for New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) is growing tremendously. In addition to Tesla, Chinese manufacturers such as BYD, XPeng and NIO were also able to report double-digit growth rates in the past fiscal year. The prerequisite for this trend is the procurement of the existential raw material lithium. But this is becoming increasingly scarce.
