Deutsche Bank, Aspermont, Square - FinTech approaches promise a lot of potential
For several years now, the FinTech sector has been gaining more and more attention. Digital bank Revolut entered its funding round with a valuation of USD 33 billion. If you compare this value with the market capitalizations of German banks, the valuations are far below FinTech bank, with EUR 23 billion for Deutsche Bank and EUR 6.9 billion for Commerzbank. So big profits can beckon for emerging FinTech companies. These companies no longer have as many staff as traditional banks, and even advisory services are taken over by electronic helpers these days. There is additional pressure on traditional banks due to the zero interest rate policy. So today, we look at three companies looking to expand their businesses in this direction.

AZTEC MINERALS - Fantastic drill results
In the medium term, nothing should stand in the way of rising precious metal prices. Gold and silver demand as jewelry, from the industry, and as crisis currency or inflation protection, form the basis for a perspectively higher price level. After an excellent performance last year, the prices of gold and silver are currently consolidating. For investors with an anticyclical approach, this opens up good investment opportunities. Exploration companies with high-quality projects, such as Aztec Minerals, historically benefit disproportionately from rising precious metal prices.

Nel ASA, Water Ways Technologies, Veolia - Frightening development
Water is our most precious resource. Energy, food, transportation and nature all depend on a supply of clean, flowing water that is dwindling at an alarming rate. By 2050, demand will increase by 55%, according to an OECD study. According to the World Economic Forum, global water supply is one of the top 10 societal risks of our time. To avert disaster, companies are stepping up to revolutionize food production with new technologies such as smart irrigation, robotics, drones and the Internet of Things.

Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Siemens Healthineers: Here the signs point to growth
In 2019, the world's nations spent a whopping USD 1917 billion on armaments. That is more than they have spent since 1988, stresses the Stockholm-based International Peace Research Institute. Germany increased its spending more than any other country in the process. The incidents in Afghanistan have shown that it is of great importance to be able to act if one wants to play a role on the international stage. The pandemic shows that health can also take on a global dimension. Here, too, experts expect rising expenditures. Reason enough to take a closer look at well-known representatives of both sectors.

BYD, Fisker, Kodiak Copper, Varta: Nothing works without Copper!
Electromobility is becoming increasingly crucial for the energy transition in transportation. And with it the research, development and production of drives, batteries and components. In addition to electricity storage, however, vehicle cabling and the assembly of e-components are also coming to the fore. Today, an electric vehicle requires three to four times the amount of copper as it did 20 years ago, plus the demand in industrial manufacturing processes. The earth's deposits are exhaustible, and copper, in particular, is pretty much on the edge. A spot price of just under USD 10,000 per kilo clearly shows how the markets are processing this situation. Rising prices!

Nel, JinkoSolar, Saturn Oil + Gas: It looks good!
Shares from the solar, hydrogen and oil sectors are in demand again. And the chances are good that it will continue. The federal elections are creating a good mood for solar and hydrogen; whether it is a traffic light or Jamaica, the new government will be greener. So good news for Nel and JinkoSolar. Both have also reported positive news. But oil stocks could also be in for a hot fall. That is because little work is being done on new projects, and demand will remain high for decades to come. So oil could become scarce despite the trend toward clean energy, according to one expert. Saturn Oil & Gas should benefit from this. The Canadians just bought huge oil reserves at a bargain price.

Standard Lithium, Defense Metals, Orocobre, Millennial Lithium: Separating the wheat from the chaff!
Lithium has become one of the most important metals in electromobility. Where all this lithium will come from is critical, as the logic behind electromobility is to generate more sustainable technologies. For more climate protection, mining companies must also fit into a sustainable concept. Lithium extraction should therefore follow high environmental standards and take place in an appropriate economic and social context. But beware: the overall market has recently stopped following every battle cry. Separating the wheat from the chaff is becoming a portfolio challenge!

Nordex, GSP Resource, NIO - These are the election winners
Germany has voted, and the decision was very close. According to the leading candidates Scholz and Laschet, the government should be in place by Christmas at the latest. Whether it is a traffic light or Jamaica, the Greens will almost certainly be part of the coalition. As a result, this means that the energy transition and climate protection topic will be more in the focus of politics than ever before. The expansion of infrastructure topics such as energy, construction and transport promises growing sources of income and full order books for the companies concerned.

Cardiol Therapeutics, BioNTech, Valneva - Volatility offers good opportunities!
The share prices of the Corona vaccine manufacturers are not growing sky-high after all. Most recently, developments at France's Valneva caused uncertainty. The French Company wanted to bring a Corona vaccine to market by the end of 2021 and had already received an order from the British government for 100 million units. This contract has now been canceled. Where does the industry go from here?

Intel, BrainChip, AMD: A chip like the human brain
Chips are in short supply. When assembly lines in Wolfsburg, Munich or Sindelfingen come to a standstill because of a shortage of inexpensive semiconductors, it is frustrating for the German automotive industry. But powerful chips and processors with entirely new architecture are also urgently needed for future technology. Machine learning and artificial intelligence are also placing new demands on chipmakers. We profile three titles.
