Gazprom, BP, Barrick Gold, Ximen Mining - Putin's Ukraine conflict boosts gold and silver!
Over the weekend, the buzzword "mobilization of nuclear weapons" was heard in the media. In the ears of investors, the loud saber-rattling sounded like the starting signal for a gold and silver rally. Events then rolled over in sequence: Russian accounts were frozen, the SWIFT system was disconnected, and there were likely payment difficulties at Sberbank. The sponsorship contract with Gazprom was terminated by Schalke 04 without notice. In this country, people are wondering what medium-term effects the Russian crisis will have on society, the relationship with Russia in general, and the economy. In this context, we are watching a few interesting stocks.

Nordex, Rheinmetall, Triumph Gold: Russia crisis causes price swings
Since last Thursday, war has been raging in the euro, and the world has been spinning faster. Over the weekend, Chancellor Scholz announced a new defense and energy policy for Germany in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The German armed forces is to receive EUR 100 billion as special assets. In addition, according to Chancellor Scholz, NATO's 2% target is to be met in the future. Energy independence is to be increased by, among other things, two German LNG terminals. Finance Minister Lindner calls renewables "freedom energies." Accordingly, shares in Nordex and Rheinmetall were in strong demand on Monday. The price of gold also picked up, with Triumph Gold's shares posting double-digit gains.

Between war profits and peace dividends: ThyssenKrupp, Memiontec, BP
Since last weekend, the world has been a different place: Germany is pumping EUR 100 billion into a special fund for the German armed forces. In addition, more than the 2% of economic output demanded by the USA for years is to flow into the defense budget in the future. After years of neglecting its own defense, Germany is now back to deterrence. Given the threatening election of Donald Trump as the next US president, such self-help is also urgently needed. We highlight three stocks that are either affected by the Ukraine war or offer a peaceful alternative.

Alibaba, Hong Lai Huat, BYD - Asia as a safe haven for investments?
The war in Ukraine is causing falling stock indices on both sides. The sanctions against Russia will be extensive; even Nord Stream 2 has been stopped for the time being, although Olaf Scholz did not want to name the pipeline for a long time when it came to possible sanctions. Many countries are calling for Russia to be excluded from the SWIFT system. However, this would mean that many countries would be harming themselves, as energy imports from Russia would no longer be affordable. The war will have losers on both sides. Investors who still want to make their money work for them can take a closer look at companies from the Asian region. China is neutral in the showdown. Which stocks offer opportunities?

Russia crisis: Plug Power, Nel ASA, First Hydrogen - Which hydrogen stock to buy now?
Buy when the guns are thundering! This stock market wisdom has worked many times before. This time, the chances for a discussion in favor of "alternative energy sources" are excellent because the Russian crisis shows Europe's staggering dependence on fossil fuel energy supply. One of the main suppliers has historically been Russia, and there are virtually no alternatives, especially for the critical natural gas. To avoid getting into a supply bottleneck, the possibilities for extended EU sanctions against Putin are thus also limited. However, the traffic light coalition is unanimous: The development in the direction of hydrogen must get going now to finally get Europe's climate strategy and energy turnaround on track! Here is an overview of the best-positioned titles!

Shake-up in the auto industry - who loses, who benefits: Porsche, Altech Advanced Materials, Volkswagen
Porsche's planned IPO created a mood of celebration on the market at a turbulent time. The mood among the Porsche and Piëch families is also likely to be one of expectation. After all, they are to receive a blocking minority and would thus once again have more power over their Company. VW is also hoping for advantages from the IPO of its profitable subsidiary: For example, in investments in electromobility and in the valuation of the entire Group. Here's what the deal means for the companies involved and what the consequences could be for smaller technology providers.

Dt. Telekom, Barsele Minerals, Munich Re - Top opportunities with discount!
In the last few days, what was supposed to be prevented by diplomacy has become the bitter truth. Russia, in the person of Russian President Putin, has made the decision for a military operation and has advanced with its troops into eastern Ukraine. A heavy blow for the stock market, sending the DAX temporarily down more than 5% below the 14,000 point mark. That political stock markets have short legs has been shown all too often in the past. As a result, investors should take a closer look at companies that have lost significant value due to the Ukraine crisis but are making significant fundamental progress.

Gazprom, Sberbank, Defense Metals, Airbus: Buy when the cannons thunder!
The Ukraine crisis, or rather the Russia crisis, pulls its circles. The Putin case escalates more and more because the Russian president recognizes the eastern Ukrainian "separatist areas" of Donetsk and Luhansk as autonomous regions. A familiar tactics game of the Kremlin and at the same time an affront to the West. The EU and the US, as well as Great Britain and other states, are responding with sanctions. These hit several sectors - including banks and companies as well as Russian elites and families who support Putin's power apparatus. So far, trading in Russian stocks has not been sanctioned, creating low entry prices. We give a few important tips away from politics!

We take a closer look at three shares for you.

Rheinmetall, Diamcor, Hensoldt - The scenario escalates
All the diplomatic attempts to resolve the situation in Ukraine peacefully have failed. Russia is already in eastern Ukraine with its troops, and the police are reporting fighting throughout the country. In his televised speech launching the war against Ukraine, Russia's President Putin threatens the West with a massive counterstrike. The markets fall into deep red territory. By contrast, the defense industry is benefiting alongside precious metals and oil. Orders should thus continue to rise over the next few years. After the expected sanctions, energy prices are also likely to explode, so there is no end in sight to the inflationary spiral.
