Tech stocks: BASF, Almonty Industries, JinkoSolar, Meyer Burger - Important materials for climate change!
The energy crisis evokes in us consumers a whole new behavior, which we had almost forgotten due to the abundance of the last decades: Save energy! Undeterred by the preliminary results, Economics Minister Robert Habeck is pleased to report that four weeks after the public appeal, a wave of "joining in" has actually taken off. Private households have already reduced their gas consumption by 14%, and electricity consumption has sunk noticeably. All good, the inclined listener would formulate, but from a purely economic point of view, saving is contractive and leads to less growth in all areas. For fear of the future, Germans save not only on hot water and electricity but also at the store checkout. The consequence is a recession, or let's call it in more friendly terms: the return to normality! Here are a few investment suggestions.

Varta at EUR 64 or EUR 102? Will BioNTech and Kleos Space make the breakout?
The stock market environment is currently friendly, and technology stocks, in particular, are in a recovery rally. Investors are driven by the hope that inflation will weaken and that an end to the interest rate increase cycle of the US Federal Reserve will at least become foreseeable. If this were the case, we would not be in a bear market rally, but at the beginning of a new bull market. But not all stocks have been able to benefit from the good mood in recent weeks. Rightly so? In the case of Varta, the answer is yes - the Company shocked shareholders with a profit warning on Saturday. However, the price targets of analysts diverge significantly. The BioNTech share is unusually quiet. There is positive news from the Company itself and its partner Pfizer. With the quarterly figures next week, an attempt to break out of the sideways trend could take place. Kleos Space is also currently making this attempt. Investors are positioning themselves with the high-tech company in preparation for the next milestone.

How much lithium do BYD, VW, Tesla and Co. need? Standard Lithium, Edison Lithium - Who can deliver quickly?
Parallel to the electric car boom, many raw material prices have also exploded. Lithium has risen 1200% in price in Chinese yuan since the beginning of 2021, and nickel has risen by 40%. Against the backdrop of continued high global demand for e-vehicles, many high-performance batteries will be needed. As a result, just about every automaker is planning with its own specifications on how to handle battery procurement. BYD, VW, Daimler and Tesla already have their gigafactories or are currently planning them. Lithium is one of a battery's most important raw material components, along with nickel, cobalt, graphite and copper. However, the quantities available on the markets are limited, as producers are also still thin on the ground. We shed light on a market that is determined by shortages.

New opportunities at Aspermont, Palantir and Rheinmetall
After months of losses in technology stocks, there are signs of a recovery. The opportunities are lucrative in the long term. Market leaders have lost disproportionately since the beginning of the year due to fears of further interest rate hikes. The question is how far the monetary authorities will continue to turn the interest rate screw so as not to stifle economic growth altogether. If, on the other hand, the monetary policy were to become even looser again, the door would be opened to a further technology boom.

These sources of return concern us all: Fresenius, Defence Therapeutics, BioNTech
When people receive an unexpected diagnosis or a loved one suddenly dies, our health suddenly becomes very important. Even though there is often no room for such topics in the daily lives of investors, it is worthwhile to deal with health for several reasons. On the one hand, preventive care brings the most important of all returns; on the other hand, this rather unpleasant topic in everyday life also holds opportunities if we focus on health risks and look at possible solutions. We present three stocks from the healthcare sector that deserve attention.

Barrick Gold, Tocvan Ventures, Newmont - Gold stocks facing a renaissance?
The strong dollar has weighed on the gold price in recent weeks. However, the strength of the US dollar is rather a weakness of the euro. While the FED raised interest rates to fight inflation, the ECB hesitated. While the ECB recently raised interest rates by 50 basis points, it was 75 in the US. In addition, the energy crisis in Europe, especially Germany, is putting additional pressure on the euro. For US exports, this is not good news. Therefore, the markets gratefully accepted Jerome Powell's statements. The chairman of the FED wants to slow down the pace of interest rate increases. The gold price also jumped in response. We look at three companies that should benefit from a rising gold price.

Oil at the beginning of a supercycle - ExxonMobil, Saturn Oil+Gas, Chevron
The electricity of the future will be generated solely by wind and sun, and what's more, only battery-powered electric cars will flood the highways. The fossil fuel age has finally had its day and is being replaced by renewable energies. These words could have come both from the Green party program and from a Grimm Brothers' book of fairy tales because the reality looks different. Fossil fuels still dominate the global energy mix with around 80%, while photovoltaic and wind power plants continue to fail the 5% hurdle. Thus, humanity is at the beginning rather than the end of a new oil supercycle.

Desert Gold Ventures CEO Jared Scharf on gold as a hedge against inflation
As the European Central Bank raised its interest rate by 50 basis points on July 21 in line with the U.S. Fed and the Bank of England, the price of gold in the London Bullion Market Association fell to USD 1,700 per ounce. Recession danger is rising as more rate increases are anticipated. Changing consumer and equity market conditions are reflected in declining physical and exchange-traded fund demand for gold. Desert Gold Ventures CEO Jared Scharf explains us his view.
