Bank quake?! Is Deutsche Bank affected? Desert Gold and Barrick Gold as safe havens!
Europe could be facing a new banking quake. The reason for this lies in French government bonds. Since the French President called for new elections, one has been able to read a lot about a possible shift to the right, but the real problems have hardly been reported so far. France's national debt ratio is 110% of gross domestic product, making it the highest in Europe. French bonds are worth less because risk premiums have risen by almost 60%. As a result, interest rates are rising, and accordingly, the value of government bonds is falling. As a result, all banks that hold these government bonds are suffering book losses. Deutsche Bank could also be affected by this. Additionally, we are looking at gold companies that are considered safe havens.

Biotech: What counts is selection! Bayer, Vidac Pharma, Formycon, and Evotec in focus
The biotech sector has so far been unable to keep pace with the high-tech-heavy NASDAQ. However, there are now signals from the central banks that a turnaround in interest rates is imminent. This is because, on the one hand, the US economy is weakening, and on the other hand, inflationary pressure appears to be easing. With lower interest rates, life science companies can refinance themselves more cheaply. Due to the different dynamics, it is now important to fish out the pearls. We select attractive entry levels.

Apple, Kraken Energy, Palantir - Network effect for market expansion, who is ahead?
Network effects play a decisive role for companies in securing and expanding market share. Apple is strengthening its consumer credit business through its partnership with Affirm. This will allow the Company to further expand its mobile payment solution in the US while it struggles with regulatory challenges in the EU. Kraken Energy is a US-based uranium exploration company strategically positioned in the global energy industry. With a focus on high-value projects such as the Apex Uranium Mine in Nevada, Kraken Energy is capitalizing on the increasing global demand for nuclear energy resources. Palantir, on the other hand, is actively expanding its business towards B2B customers, particularly through AI-driven data analysis. Which of the three companies is ahead in terms of network effects?

Opportunities upon opportunities: sell AI now! Nel ASA, Royal Helium, Plug Power, and BYD
19,887 is the new record high of the NASDAQ 100 index. Dream returns from Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft could accelerate the stock market's growth into the summer once again. This could also make the second quarter of 2024 a good month for equities, as the saying "Sell in May and go Away" does not seem to apply this year. However, there are plenty of lagging stocks with great potential. They are currently on one side, as the attraction of the "Magnificent Seven" is too strong. We take the euphoria as an opportunity to take a closer look at a few promising stocks.

Insider alert at Rheinmetall and Thyssenkrupp Nucera! Is First Hydrogen better than Nel?
Insiders are taking action after the Rheinmetall share slipped below the EUR 500 mark in the past few days. Following share purchases last week, more board members ordered shares at the start of this week. And there is also positive news on the operational side. There is also an insider alert at Thyssekrupp Nucera. Can the German hydrogen share stop the downward trend? And should First Hydrogen be preferred over Nel? There are good reasons for this. The Canadians' hydrogen commercial vehicle has now also impressed Amazon in practical tests. The news has gone under the radar in the current negative industry environment. This presents a buying opportunity, as EUR 500 million in annual revenue potential is offset by a EUR 30 million market capitalization.

Reduce CO2 and stop storms now! Lufthansa, TUI, Carbon Done Right and GameStop in the analysis check
Historic floods hit Germany. The rain of the last 4 weeks has brought indescribable masses of water to more than 3,000 communities in southern Germany. Flooded cellars and living rooms, washed away vehicles, and severely damaged buildings caused damage of around two billion euros in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg alone. The Ahr Valley in Rhineland-Palatinate was hit by a flood of the century back in 2021. Investors can take a sustainable approach to stock selection and set green criteria for their portfolio selection. Returns are not always a factor, but at least the savings are working for a good cause. We select a few options.

BYD has to pay punitive tariffs - How will this affect Altech Advanced Materials and Volkswagen?
In the midst of turbulent trade disputes, the situation in the global electric vehicle market is coming to a head. The EU has announced punitive tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles from July 4, and manufacturers such as BYD, Geely, and SAIC are therefore in the spotlight. The EU Commission accuses the Chinese vehicle manufacturers of benefiting from state subsidies, thus entering the European market with a competitive advantage. The level of duties depends on the manufacturers' willingness to cooperate with the investigations. Duties can range between 17.4% and 38.1%. The planned measures are shaking up the industry and further escalating the trade conflicts with China. German vehicle manufacturers fear retaliatory measures.

Price jump at TUI! Bayer share price slumps! Globex Mining makes millions!
TUI shares were among the day's winners on the German stock market yesterday. The tourism group benefited not only from positive analyst comments but also from the FTI bankruptcy. Can the share now end its months-long sideways movement? There are also good reasons for higher prices at Globex Mining. The mining incubator recently received CAD 3 million from the gold group Agnico Eagle - and that is not the end of the story. The latest analyst comments on Bayer shares are not very promising. Yesterday's DAX share price reaction was correspondingly negative. However, the management was optimistic.

Acute threat? Armaments and high-tech in the crosshairs: Aixtron, Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall and Hensoldt
The recent European elections have enabled the conservative camp to make significant gains. Undoubtedly, a whole bouquet of issues has led to the so-called "shift to the right". In times of war, however, the neutral observer may not be surprised that the self-proclaimed peace parties, represented by the colours red and green, have lost considerable ground. After all, the competence for peacemaking and security in Europe tends to be found in the conservative camp. The capital markets currently favour high-tech and armaments, orders are booming, and growth is assured for years to come. It is now crucial for stock market players to take a closer look at these sectors, as the high-yield performers of the first half of the year appear to be correcting more strongly. What will happen here in the medium term?

BioNTech, dynaCERT, Plug Power - A single piece of news can change everything
Share prices are characterized by their high volatility and can undergo significant changes in a short space of time. Often, just one piece of company news can completely change investor confidence. Shares that were previously under selling pressure and were avoided can suddenly become very popular and experience considerable price increases. Examples include Lufthansa, whose share price rose significantly with the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. Market sentiment can turn quickly when negative factors disappear. A single piece of positive company news can prompt investors to become more involved again, significantly increasing demand and, consequently, the share price. We have identified three potential turnaround candidates.
