Linde, dynaCERT, NEL: Time for hydrogen technology
Gas is still flowing from Russia to the West. But the longer the war in Ukraine continues, the more likely it is that even more onerous sanctions will be imposed. In any case, it is clear that the long-term trend is away from Russian gas. Hydrogen suppliers have been profiting for days from the escalation of violence in Ukraine. Transitional technology could also be in demand to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in equal measure - after all, climate protection must not be neglected despite rising energy prices. We analyze three hydrogen stocks.

Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Merck KGaA - At the start of the trend
The biotech industry is the innovative engine for a pharmaceutical industry dependent on new concepts due to the shift from blockbuster products to personalized medicine. Even before Corona, more than EUR seven billion per year was invested in R&D in 2019. The development of new drugs is particularly important for the pharmaceutical industry, as patent protection for many blockbuster drugs is expiring or has already expired. For this reason, the pharmaceutical industry is now much more often entering biotech companies in the early development phases of a new drug. The example of vaccine manufacturers has successfully highlighted this strategy, which will also be applied to other diseases in the future.

K+S, Phoenix Copper, Barrick Gold - Commodities as portfolio boosters
Prices for raw materials went through the roof last year. On the one hand, the global economy recovered faster than expected. On the other hand, demand for copper increased significantly, especially due to the turnaround in the automotive industry. Now, raw materials are becoming scarce again, as Russia is partially eliminated as an exporter of raw materials. It means that supply is lagging behind demand and resulting in rising prices. Especially for oil, gas and wheat, supply is expected to tighten significantly. Today we present three exciting commodity companies that could benefit from the crisis.

Stagflation! Here is how stocks could react: ThyssenKrupp, Kodiak Copper, BMW
A flood of money for the defense sector, disrupted supply chains and paradigm shifts in many other areas - the war in Ukraine shows us once again that nothing stays the same. The phrase may have been overused in the pandemic, but current events underscore that as we look to the future, we must prepare for things we would not have thought possible just a few years ago. Also economically. The eurozone is on the verge of a stagflation scenario, i.e. rising prices coupled with falling economic output. The ECB would then be in a dilemma. Stocks could be the only way out for investors.

TUI, Aspermont, Lufthansa - Hard hit by the Ukraine crisis, but there is hope!
Putin's attack against the free democratic basic order will have far-reaching consequences. He will go down in the history books as a warmonger and aggressor; as far as Western politicians of character are concerned, he will be burned for years to come. The Russian leader is paying a high humanitarian and economic price for marking the border between East and West. Its own population is the main loser. NATO never posed a threat, as it is a defense pact. Warlike actions have been far from the West for years, and there is no reaction on this side. Freedom and democracy are difficult to preserve for Ukraine, but one should not throw in the towel too soon. The following values have fallen by the wayside, but they will take off again when the situation calms down.

Ukraine crisis: ThyssenKrupp, BMW, Almonty Industries - Critical metals soon sold out!
Day 7 of the invasion: With Putin's invasion of peaceful neighbor Ukraine, world politics has changed ad hoc. With a shocked look at the humanitarian suffering, Western countries are moving closer together, sanctions against the aggressor are being implemented quickly, and military solidarity is beginning to manifest. Now Turkey has also closed the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits to warships. The extreme increase in the price of energy is driving up inflation and causing problems for the mining industry. The shortage is being felt around the world. How are companies coping with this challenging environment? We take a look at some interesting examples.

dynaCERT, SFC Energy, Coinbase - These are the winners!
The war in Ukraine, which is expected to last even longer, continues to weigh on the stock markets. The majority of the world community is determined to quell Putin's aggressiveness with all kinds of sanctions and bans, costing them a lot. More and more Western oil companies are leaving Russia. The share price of Gazprom, the world's largest producer of natural gas, has been pulverized in recent days. However, some sectors should also benefit from this mixed situation.

Cardiol, BioNTech, Novartis - Inventory at three high-flyers
Good news, this time from Cardiol Therapeutics. Both the US FDA and regulatory authorities in Brazil and Mexico have given the green light for the inclusion of patients already vaccinated against COVID-19 in the LANCER trial. The opening with respect to this patient group increases the likelihood of a speedy trial completion. The pandemic cannot be over until global efforts are made to fight the virus together. So BioNTech will build a plant in Rwanda. And Novartis, as an experienced Big Pharma giant, illustrates through its quarterly figures how valuable the pharmaceutical industry as a whole can be as an investment.

K+S, Globex Mining, Barrick Gold - On the road to success
The stock markets will certainly remain nervous for some time to come given the war in Ukraine and Putin's threatening nuclear gestures. But where there is uncertainty and risks, there are also opportunities. The big picture favors commodity investments: precious metals as a crisis currency, battery metals with high demand due to the energy transition, and agricultural commodities. We take a look at shares that offer good opportunities.

Plug Power, Hensoldt, Saturn Oil + Gas: Will the price rally continue?
Until recently, it seemed unthinkable, but it has become a reality: the price of Brent oil is trading above USD 110, a multi-year high. The German armed forces are to receive EUR 100 billion in special funds. In addition, according to Chancellor Scholz, NATO's 2% target is to be met in the future. And renewable energies are described by politicians of all parties as strategically important "freedom energies". These drastic developments are currently moving share prices. The value of the defense company Hensoldt has doubled within a few days, and a new major customer beckons. Hydrogen specialist Plug Power has also posted double-digit gains but missed analysts' estimates operationally in 2021. Saturn Oil & Gas shares have not yet benefited from the high oil price. After the successful takeover, the knot could now burst.
