Freenet, Deutsche Rohstoff, Palantir - The clock is ticking
The German parliamentary elections are on September 26, which means there are just under 6 weeks left in which Baerbock, Laschet and Scholz vie for the favor of voters. Climate protection is one of the most important campaign issues. If you look at the party programs, the energy transition enjoys the highest priority among the Greens. They plan an immediate climate protection program that will quickly initiate effective measures in all areas and remove obstacles to expanding renewable energies. To this end, the Climate Protection Act is to be tightened up. Emissions will be reduced by 70% by 2030, and Germany will be climate-neutral by 2035. It should already be clear to every German citizen entitled to vote that much of what is planned in theory can hardly be implemented, or at least not within the specified timeframe.

Defence Therapeutics, Moderna, Evotec - Bet on the front-runners!
Health is our most important asset. Biotech companies that protect it save not only human lives but also reap high profits. The price development of many biotech stocks over the past few months has been breathtaking. Investors are advised to focus on the frontrunners, as the market position gained as a first mover, the leadership position in a niche or innovative solution, will enable the companies to keep their competitors at bay for a long time to come.

NEL, Pure Extraction, Deutsche Post: Hydrogen becomes practical
The Union's candidate for chancellor and CDU chairman Armin Laschet only received a loud laugh when he asked Tesla boss Elon Musk about the chances for hydrogen as a fuel for cars. The question is entirely justified. Although the trend for cars is clearly towards electric vehicles, hydrogen could be the solution for delivery vans, trucks or ships. Reason enough to take a closer look at participating companies and potential customers.

NEL, dynaCERT, FuelCell Energy, Plug Power - Is hydrogen about to explode next?
Not only is the EU tightening its climate targets, but around the globe, more and more countries are decarbonizing their economies. The subject of hydrogen is providing the rainmaking impetus for discussion. Since the closing of ranks on e-mobility, however, it is no longer the focus of attention. However, according to the World Energy Council (WEC) analysis, at least 20 countries that account for almost half of global economic output have adopted a national hydrogen strategy or are at least close to doing so. Leading the way are Japan, France, South Korea, the Netherlands, Australia, Norway, Spain and Portugal. But Russia, China, Morocco and the USA are also working on their strategies. Australia and China are leading the way, while Europe and the Middle East are already doing a lot. We take a look at the premier league of H2 values.

Alibaba, Kainantu Resources, JinkoSolar - Asia as a global economic engine
Asia's influence on the global economy has been growing for years. On the one hand, as a sales market - Germany now transports 16% of its exports to Asia - on the other hand, its share of the world's gross domestic product is increasing. In 2019, 71% of global economic growth came from the Asia-Pacific region. Exports also contributed to this. Almost twice as much was exported to Germany in 2019 as ten years earlier. This year, economic growth in Asia will again be higher than in the rest of the world. This is primarily due to China. Today we are therefore highlighting three companies from the Asia-Pacific region.

Steinhoff, Kodiak Copper, NIO - At the beginning of the trend
Rising inflation is making living more expensive. The culprit for the increase - in Germany, consumer prices rose by 3.8% in July compared to the same month last year - is increasingly expensive raw materials. In addition to agricultural commodities such as corn and wheat, metals in particular, which are urgently needed for the energy transition, are going through the roof. There is no end in sight to the price increase here; economists are already talking about a supercycle lasting years.

Desert Gold, Barrick Gold, Nordex - These are the winners!
Even if inflation in the US has fallen slightly compared to the previous month, it is still at a high level of over 5%. This cannot be explained away. Despite all efforts of central bankers worldwide to regard the high inflation as only a temporary phenomenon, it is more advisable to adjust to the more realistic scenario of a persistently high inflation rate. To protect oneself as an investor against the loss of purchasing power, it helps to invest in tangible assets such as shares, real estate and commodities. With the following three companies, investors have good cards to be on the winning side.

ThyssenKrupp, Triumph Gold, Evotec - Growth before inflation
After the disastrous Corona year 2020 filled with profit slumps, the economy is coming back to life. The quarterly figures currently being reported indicate rising returns once again and thus an end to the dry spell. However, the inflation rate is also rising enormously; in Germany, it jumped to its highest level in almost 30 years, according to the Federal Statistical Office. Growth and job creation take precedence over price stability - a dangerous undertaking for the future. The central banks are being challenged.

Varta, Barrick Gold, Aztec Minerals - Before the showdown!
There is currently no sign of summer doldrums on the capital markets. Not only BioNTech is exploding, shares of lithium and battery producers are also rising strongly. On the other hand, the gold price is going crazy: After better-than-expected data from the US labor market, the gold price buckled significantly at the start of the week and has only recovered slightly so far. Nevertheless, the industry has positive news: heavyweight Barrick Gold increases profits, and at Explorer Aztec Minerals, investors ask when the knot will burst? The battery specialist Varta is also exciting at the moment, and Friday will be a showdown.

BASF, Meta Materials, IBU-Tec, SGL Carbon - Materials that dreams are made of!
Whether e-mobility, aircraft technology or renewable energies - there are inherent scarcities and political implications in many high-tech materials essential for the German economy and future and resource-efficient technologies. Their production and further processing cost a lot of precious energy, and not all environmental or health impacts have been clarified. Mining companies and processing industries are therefore required to observe sustainability principles and not just implement them on paper. Some companies take a proactive approach to this issue, while others must first be forced into line politically. We take a look at some of the protagonists.
