Globex Mining, Deutsche Lufthansa, Rheinmetall: Share prices soar on the back of impressive deals
Globex Mining achieves several deal highlights: The exploration company receives CAD 2 million in cash from Agnico Eagle for a land purchase, with further opportunity for a growing asset. Over 23 months, an additional CAD 6 million is expected to flow to Globex Mining. Then follows an option agreement with Tomagold Corporation on a Canadian gold property at Gwillin Lake near Quebec. Total payments of six figures are due over the next four years. In addition, shares in Tomagold will be transferred to Globex Mining. While German Foreign Minister Baerbock was more conspicuous for flight mishaps, the Lufthansa Group achieved an adjusted EBIT of around EUR 1.1 billion in Q2/23. The subsidiaries SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings and Lufthansa Technik also posted record results. Furthermore, Rheinmetall is also taking to the skies - now supplying drones to Ukraine.

Plug Power, JinkoSolar, Altech Advanced Materials: Only one share is strong
The stock market is currently on shaky ground. In such times, it is worth considering stocks that show relative strength. Which renewable energy company falls into this category? Hydrogen specialist Plug Power disappointed again with its latest quarterly figures. And now analysts are also losing patience. In contrast, JinkoSolar has increased its half-year profit by over 300%. However, the shares of the Chinese solar group are trading lower than they have in a long time. The shares of Altech Advanced Materials - also listed on XETRA since July - are among the German stock market stars of 2023 with a plus of 250%. But is there more in store? After all, the Company aims to revolutionize the battery market and even outshine the new Tesla battery.

Return on investment thanks to recycling: NEL, RegenX Tech, BASF
Many people view recycling with skepticism and are reminded of regulations for waste separation, even though a significant portion of carefully sorted recyclables ultimately end up in incineration plants. On a large scale, however, recycling is a beacon of hope. For Germany, in particular, a functioning circular economy could bring many advantages - after all, energy requirements and dependence on foreign countries are high. Recycling is also about the future of the industry.

Cantourage, Amazon, Bayer: Young entrants soaring, old players in reorientation
The time has finally come in Germany: the federal government has given the green light for the private use of cannabis. Since 2017, doctors in Germany have been allowed to prescribe cannabis as a therapeutic agent. The growing market in this segment has been recognized by the team at Cantourage, which focuses on the medical production of active ingredients from the hemp plant. The leadership of Bayer could use some relief. Analysts at Berenberg Bank have put the Leverkusen-based company's balance sheet through its paces and discovered a few things that have now downgraded Bayer's stock from Buy to Hold. Amazon's Cloud Business takes another step forward. The Company's in-house AI is moving into the documentation of medical health reports. Find out what it is all about here.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Bayer - Who will have trend-setting news first?
Pharmaceutical and biotech stocks are among the most volatile sectors in the financial markets. Single news stories about new developments or product announcements can not only cause short-term price swings but also have long-term implications, increasing both risk and opportunity for investors. If a breakthrough drug is developed, old preparations can become obsolete - this is good for the innovative company but detrimental to established market participants. As an investor, it is advisable to select specific companies and anticipate directional news through some research.

BYD, Nel ASA and First Phosphate: These shares promise excitement!
Tension at BYD. Competitor Tesla continues to turn the price screw in China, and there is a surprise in the future topic of autonomous driving. Do the Chinese really not believe in technology in which other companies are investing billions? BYD, on the other hand, is going full throttle with its global expansion and presents a new vehicle. The latest news from First Phosphate also makes for exciting reading. The economic evaluation of the project for the extraction and processing of phosphate for the production of lithium-iron-phosphate batteries has resulted in a capital value of CAD 795 million. This compares with a market capitalization of about CAD 18 million. Nel ASA still brings EUR 1.8 billion to the stock exchange scales. Analysts do not see any upside potential for the Norwegian company.

Covestro, Desert Gold Ventures, Barrick Gold - Waiting for the next push
Although crash prophets have been raising their fingers for months and conjuring up a crash in the largest stock indices, such as the Dow Jones, Nasdaq and DAX, these continue to rush from high to high. On the other hand, precious metals such as gold and silver, which are suitable for crises and as inflation protection, are correcting. At the same time, the general conditions continue to improve, which should lead to sustainably rising prices in the long term.

Hydrogen scams and hard facts: Nikola, Plug Power, First Hydrogen
The somewhat macabre story behind a dead cat bounce is quickly explained: When a stock rises rapidly after a long sell-off, investors from the bear camp often refer to it as a dead cat bounce. The underlying idea is the somewhat tongue-in-cheek saying that even a dead cat would bounce off the ground if dropped from a great height. The best example of such a dead cat bounce is currently shown by the share of the hydrogen specialist Nikola. While investors are discussing the Company from the US, a success story is emerging in the background around a second-tier company.

Commerzbank, Viva Gold, Plug Power - What is next for the markets?
While the FED will probably take a break after its last interest rate hike to 5.5%, the ECB could be forced to turn the interest rate screw further, as inflation is only slowly declining. From May to June, the inflation rate in Germany climbed to 6.4%, only to fall back to 6.2% in July. The banking crisis seems to have been overcome after the turbulence between early February and mid-March. An end to the interest rate hike could have a positive effect on the gold price. Another catalyst is the meeting of the BRICS countries on August 22-24, which could decide on a new gold-backed currency. For growth companies, higher interest rates are poison as borrowed money is now much more expensive. We have selected one company from each segment.
