Rio Tinto, Triumph Gold, Nestlé - Conflicts and inflation
Producer prices of industrial products in Germany were 25% higher in January 2022 than in the same period last year. According to the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), this represents the highest increase since the survey began in 1949. The main reason for the sudden increase is the sharp rise in energy prices. Price increases compared with the previous year were also particularly high for secondary raw materials such as paper and cardboard (+72.7%), butter (up 61.1%) and wooden packaging materials (+65.7%). The situation in Ukraine is getting worse, which is likely to fuel electricity and energy costs once again.

Analysts on TeamViewer, Allianz, Altech: Game-changer potential
The Ukraine crisis is currently shaking up the capital markets. But such a time also offers the opportunity to analyze one's portfolio and make changes where necessary. The assessments of analysts can help here. With TeamViewer, Allianz and Altech Advanced Materials, we present opinions on companies of different sizes and sectors. The figures and outlook of insurance giant Allianz have convinced analysts. TeamViewer's stock has recovered from its lows in recent weeks, but analysts are still predominantly cautious. When people think of German battery technology, they usually think of Varta. But there is also an exciting microcap. Game-changer potential is seen in Altech.

SYNLAB, XPhyto, Novavax - How long will the Corona boom last?
Corona has been turning the world upside down for two years. Although the stock markets have largely recovered from their crash in February and March 2020 and are clearly up again, some stocks are still doing much better, thanks to Corona. For example, shares of companies involved in developing and producing Corona vaccines, medicines, or testing methods have significantly outperformed the indices. But how sustainable is this boom?

Lufthansa, mm2 Asia, BioNTech - Clear the way for the rebound
After the strong increase by the Omicron variant, the infection numbers are decreasing, and the world is breathing a sigh of relief. Due to the high vaccination rates, politicians are loosening existing restrictions. It is hard to believe, going to cinemas, restaurants and even discos is allowed again. Bookings for the travel season are increasing daily, and flying, provided you don't want to go to Kiev or Odesa at the moment, is possible at any time. Due to the almost two-year standstill, there are interesting opportunities to participate in the revived business, especially in the entertainment industry.

BYD, Nio, Nordex, Phoenix Copper: Nothing works without copper!
Electromobility is becoming increasingly crucial for the energy transition in transportation. And with it, the research and development of drives, batteries and power-saving components. However, in addition to electricity storage, vehicle cabling and the fitting of high-tech components are also coming to the fore. Today, an electric vehicle requires 3 to 4 times as much copper as it did 20 years ago. Still, the earth's deposits are exhaustible, and copper, in particular, is pretty much stretched to the limit. A spot price of just under USD 10,000 per kilo clearly shows how the markets are processing this situation. A current conflict, such as Ukraine, provides additional fuel and further rising prices! Where are the opportunities?

Barrick Gold, MAS Gold, Gazprom - The conflict and its consequences
The next level of escalation in the Ukraine conflict has been ignited, and the consequences are severe. Oil prices moved close to the USD 100 mark, posting their highest levels since the end of 2014, and the precious metal gold shot above the important USD 1,900 mark. The stock markets buckled dramatically in the first hours of trading, only to start a rally and price fireworks in the course of trading. Despite the still acute concerns about an expansion of the conflict, a trend reversal may already have been heralded in the German benchmark index.

TeamViewer, Aspermont, Delivery Hero - Digital turnaround candidates in check
The prospect of an end to the Corona pandemic and raising interest rates was poison for many companies pursuing a digital business model. Many stocks were fundamentally priced expensively and offered the potential for setbacks for that reason alone. In addition, growth is expected to slow once people start going out more after the pandemic. This outlook is not at all palatable to investors. With the recent Ukraine crisis, pressure is building up once again, and it could be a good time to get one or the other turnaround candidate into the portfolio. Today we take a closer look at three companies.

BioNTech, Moderna, Valneva, Cardiol Therapeutics: The gold rush is over!
The mild progression of the Omicron variant and the associated massive relaxations of the Corona measures in many countries weighs heavily on the prospects of the vaccine manufacturers. That is because the winter is drawing to a close, clinical shortages are not occurring, and vaccination rates do not want to increase despite massive public campaigns. Meanwhile, even those in power realize that enforcing a general vaccination requirement could become a hot legal ride under the current circumstances. For the biotech sector and vaccine producers, in particular, this is a reason for profit-taking for the time being. Here are a few further ideas.

The boss sells at Nel ASA - Plug Power and dynaCERT with news
Growth stocks are having a hard time in the current stock market environment. The Ukraine crisis, rising interest rates and high inflation mean that investors prefer value stocks. Even the long-celebrated beneficiaries of the energy transition have taken a significant hit. However, the long-term positive outlook for the sector has not changed. Today we look at Nel ASA, Plug Power and dynaCERT. At dynaCERT, the correction has been going on for a year now, and management changes can provide new impetus. At Nel, the outgoing CEO is selling shares in a big way, causing renewed investor frustration. Plug Power, on the other hand, shows strength and expands into an exciting area through an acquisition and partnerships.
