Deutsche Telekom, MAS Gold, K+S: An insider tip against inflation
The latest trends are usually first seen abroad and then gradually spill over into the German-speaking world. Examples include delivery services, co-working spaces and Uber. One trend that German savers, in particular, can do without is inflation. But here, too, everything looks as if Europe is emulating the USA. While the US has already been hit hard by inflation, with inflation hovering around 6% in recent months, the figures in Europe are lower. But in a globalized world, it is only a matter of time before inflation rises here too. We present three stocks that investors think of when it comes to inflation protection.

Volkswagen, Graphano Energy, Varta: Graphite as the new e-car hype?
The mobility revolution is turning the economy upside down. Where steel and components for classic transmissions once dominated, the future raw materials, such as lithium, rare earths and graphite, are now being used. We highlight the tidal shift in the automotive industry and present companies that could benefit from it.

Bitcoin Group, wallstreet:online AG, Palantir - How to handle inflation?
The highest inflation since 1990 has sent the gold price soaring. The Bitcoin (BTC) was also able to profit enormously from this. The cryptocurrency is proving to be not only a safe haven but also a hedge against inflation. And many in the crypto community believe that bitcoin can continue to benefit from sky-high inflation. But beware: volatility in BTC is enormous. Central banks, which are supposed to be proactive, are arguably a bit behind the curve in the fight against inflation. After all, it is now not just the prices of certain categories that are rising due to the opening up of economies or supply chain problems, but prices are now rising across the board. Inflation is hitting asset prices the hardest; it is called "asset inflation." Which values are going up with it?

Infineon, Almonty Industries, K+S - Profiting from supply bottlenecks
It is not only the printing presses of the central banks that are causing inflation in the USA and Europe but also the supply bottlenecks in more and more sectors. The chip shortage has been known for some time, but there is already a shortage of raw materials such as steel, cement, copper, nickel, tungsten, and even fertilizers. The infrastructure package of the USA, which was passed a good week ago, contributes its part to this. In addition to the existing packages, another USD 550 billion package will further fuel demand in the commodities mentioned above. The beneficiaries will be the producers, three of which we take a closer look at today.

Valneva, XPhyto, NanoRepro - Here we go again
Although around 67.4% of the population in Germany is already fully vaccinated, the infection figures are rising to unprecedented heights. The fourth wave with the highly contagious Delta variant is rolling across the republic. This development must be stopped as quickly as possible. In addition to booster vaccinations, politicians are therefore reintroducing citizen testing as a tool against the spread. For diagnostics companies and providers of rapid tests, this means a boom and further increases in earnings, likely to be reflected in stock market valuations in the near future.

NEL, dynaCERT, FuelCell Energy, Plug Power - How far will the hydrogen wave carry us?
The average temperature on Earth should rise by no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius over the next few decades. 190 countries agreed on this target in Paris in 2015. Since then, there have been four further world climate conferences. The fifth is now underway in Glasgow, Scotland, and is scheduled to end today, Nov. 12. It is not only the EU that is tightening its climate targets - around the globe, more and more countries are decarbonizing their economies. The topic of hydrogen is a rainmaker in this context. Here the question arises, when will it really start? According to the World Energy Council (WEC) analysis, at least 20 countries accounting for almost half of global economic output have already adopted a national hydrogen strategy or are at least close to doing so. We take a look at well-known protagonists.

Kinross Gold, Troilus Gold, Endeavour Silver - US inflation boosts gold price
6.2% p.a. - The highest inflation figures for more than 30 years in the US has again prompted investors to stock up on the crisis currency gold. With a price of more than USD 1,860 per fine ounce, the 200-day moving average was overcome, and thus a significant mark was broken. How the gold price will continue will be decided not least by the upcoming publication of the consumer confidence index, inflation expectations and the reaction of the FED. However, one thing is certain: mining stocks can only benefit from the positive gold price development.

BASF, Royal Helium, Linde: This market is at the very beginning
Industrial gases are in demand - and expensive. Even gases such as Helium are not immune to price increases. Chemical giant BASF calls the noble gas valuable in a press release and, together with Linde, presented a process that can be used to extract Helium from natural gas production. In other regions, the extraction of Helium, which is used in medical devices and chip production, even succeeds independently of by-products - given the long-term dwindling production of fossil fuels, this is becoming increasingly important. We present three stocks.

Siemens, BIGG Digital Assets, K+S - The profiteers of inflation
Due to bottlenecks in supply chains and rising commodity and energy prices, consumer prices in the United States grew by a whopping 6.2% compared to October 2020, the highest level since the early 1990s. The medium-term goal of central bankers led by FED Chairman Jerome Powell is 2% inflation. But to achieve this goal, they would have to abandon the ultra-loose monetary policy and start raising interest rates. However, they are not taking this step because they believe that inflation is only temporary. The profiteers from this defensive behavior are equities, cryptocurrencies and precious metals.

Barrick Gold, Barsele Minerals, Newmont - Inflation protection for own assets
Inflation in the USA continues to rise. While in September it was already 5.4%, in October it reached 6.2%. This figure surprised even the pessimistic experts, who had assumed only 5.8%. The reasons given are energy prices and supply bottlenecks. In Germany, the situation is not much better. The inflation rate was most recently 4.5%. It is said that this inflation is only temporarily so high. But already since Mr. Draghi, it should be clear that the central banks welcome inflation because, in this way, one can let the printing press run longer. As an investor, you should protect your money. Demand for physical gold rose 18% in the third quarter. Alternatively, one can invest in gold companies, of which we analyze three.
