Starting signal for a share price rally? BioNTech, Bayer, and BioNxt Solutions ahead of important dates
Things can move fast in the biotech sector. The share price of Prometheus Biosciences shot up by a good 75% practically overnight. The reason: US pharmaceutical group Merck & Co wants to buy the Company specializing in treating immune diseases, thus strengthening its own product portfolio. Thanks to clever takeovers, Sartorius has also grown strongly in recent years, become a success story on the German stock market and risen to the DAX. The latest acquisition of the laboratory supplier is Polyplus. The French company develops DNA and RNA components for cell and gene therapies. Is BioNxt, also active in Germany, the next takeover candidate? In any case, the Company is taking big steps towards commercialization. Investors are also hoping for new impetus from Bayer and BioNTech. Both companies have important dates coming up. But analysts are skeptical.

The copper war! Nordex, Orestone Mining, Nel ASA, ThyssenKrupp - Shortage of copper weighs on Greentech expansion
The World Copper Conference 2023 took place in Chile in mid-April. According to the experts, the global energy turnaround requires huge investments in new industrial metal mines, especially copper. The red metal has become very rare, and the large deposits are working at their capacity limits. One figure made the conference participants turn pale. According to estimates by the International Copper Association (ICA), at least USD 105 billion must be invested to provide enough mining capacity for the upcoming demand. Converted into quantities, this means 6.5 million tonnes more than the production from 2022. Anyone hearing these figures doubts the successful solution to climate change. Some stocks are to be considered in this context.

Analysts in full swing - Nel ASA, dynaCERT, Enphase Energy
Technology companies, in particular, had their turn last week to present their first-quarter figures to the broad investor community. The Facebook group Meta exceeded its profit forecasts, and the technology giant Microsoft also impressed with its profit and turnover. In contrast, the picture in the second tier was mixed. The battery manufacturer Varta recorded significant losses. Another stock from the renewable energy segment experienced a massive sell-off, and analysts reacted promptly.

ThyssenKrupp, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall - US subsidizes rare earths
Rare earths have long been on the list of critical metals in the US and Europe. As tensions build between the US and China over Taiwan, it is important to remember how critical rare earths are. Currently, China has a virtual monopoly, especially in terms of refining. In addition to high-tech products such as smartphones, the critical raw material is needed for steel alloys, in the military and above all, for the energy transition, including electric vehicles. The US now wants to promote the mining of rare earths in its own country and rewards this with a tax credit of up to USD 30 per kg. We, therefore, look at 3 companies that rely on rare earths.

Nuclear off, secure energy now! Altech Advanced Materials, Varta and BYD - Up 700 % and no end in sight?
The nuclear reactors are now off! As though there was enough energy far and wide, the Berlin government ensemble decided to phase out nuclear energy. The reaction of the electricity suppliers followed immediately. On Monday, April 17, E.ON raised its electricity prices by 43%. Meanwhile, the coalition government cannot be deterred from suggesting to citizens that electricity prices will decrease in the long term. It will now be difficult for private households to behave in a climate-friendly way and still be able to consume. There are plenty of solutions for battery storage, but what is affordable and reliable? We take a look at an industry with a future.

Globex Mining, Alphabet, Amazon - Hard assets in uncertain times
It continues to be uncertain times for Amazon employees. CEO Andy Jassy is cutting around 9,000 jobs in the group to keep the numbers stable. Tech rival Alphabet, on the other hand, can rejoice: for the first time, its cloud business is posting an operating profit, prompting the management team to buy back shares. The mining business is somewhat more consistent. Globex Mining has two pieces of good news for gold investors.

Plug Power stops sell-off? BYD is grabbing lithium, and Defense Metals is doing well
In Germany, the last nuclear power plants have been taken off the grid, and in North America, one battery factory after another is being built. Hydrogen is also booming. The Fraunhofer Institute, however, sees few opportunities in the passenger car sector. Experts list the lack of a filling station network and the relatively high prices for hydrogen as disadvantages compared to battery technology. Plug Power, among others, is working on improving the refuelling situation. The operating business of the Americans is in deep red. Can the Q1 figures stop the sell-off of the share? BYD shares, on the other hand, made significant gains yesterday. The Chinese are fully committed to e-cars and have entered into a lithium partnership in Chile for the necessary batteries. It is interesting to note that only a few days ago, the government of the South American country announced that it would nationalize lithium production. Is China thus grabbing the huge lithium deposits in Chile? The battle for raw materials is coming to a head. Defense Metals should profit from this. The rare earth project is located in legally secure Canada and is considered extremely promising.

Artificial intelligence is the new gold - TUI, Lufthansa and Star Navigation Systems with 100% chance!
The world of flight and travel is in a state of upheaval as artificial intelligence enters the decision-making world of humans. Quite unconsciously, various recommendations are creeping into the email boxes of citizens based on the usage behavior derived from Big Data collected over the past months or even years. The well-known IT giants collect data from our consumption and payment habits, analyze websites visited and build targeted advertising in the background, which wanders across our screens quasi "at random" in all situations in life. Although no one is really surprised here any more, 30% of our purchasing behaviour now comes from the Big Data machinery. Some stocks are making a name for themselves here.
