Barrick Gold, Globex Mining, First Majestic Silver - The resurgence of precious metals
In uncertain times, gold is considered a safe haven and enjoys great popularity among investors. Due to the banking industry's irregularities and Silicon Valley Bank's bankruptcy, a shift from the risky stock market to the precious metals sector was already apparent. This was further reinforced by the wobbling of Credit Suisse. With the crossing of a prominent resistance, the yellow metal is now striving for new highs.

Bank quake? Time to think outside the box! Commerzbank, Manuka Resources, Deutsche Bank
What a week! Eight days ago, we mentioned Credit Suisse as the supposed crisis bank and speculated: "It is quite possible that there will be a consolidation of the industry in the next few weeks and that problem banks will be taken over by market competitors." You know the result. But what does this mean for investors? We think one step further!

Goodbye banks - the Greentech rally is on: Shares of BYD, Canadian North, Mercedes Group and BMW are in focus!
Blunt, clear text - that is what the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had promised, in case governments still did not get it. The latest "State of the World Report" is clear. Hesitation is a thing of the past. The message: action is needed now and must be taken worldwide. This is the conclusion of the so-called synthesis report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which was presented yesterday in Interlaken, Switzerland. Leading scientists have spent the past week wrestling with more than 650 government representatives to lay things out as transparently as possible. The conclusion is quickly formulated: Full throttle for the Greentech industry!

Varta, Aspermont, Rheinmetall - Full speed ahead for expansion
Changing conditions in terms of broken supply chains, high raw material prices and an uncertain geopolitical situation have put many companies in dire straits since the Corona pandemic, leading to a collapse in sales and liquidity bottlenecks. Nevertheless, few managed to adapt their business models to emerge stronger from the crisis.

Evotec, Defence Therapeutics, Morphosys - Movement in the biotech sector
Is a new wave of takeovers starting in the biotech sector? Already last year, acquisitions by Big Pharma were expected to increase, but these largely failed to materialize. However, this could accelerate in the current year. On the one hand, pharmaceutical companies, such as vaccine manufacturer Pfizer, have deep pockets and need new innovations for their product portfolio; on the other hand, second-tier stocks are attractive targets due to the strong correction.

Meta Materials and Palantir for the future, what is Commerzbank doing?
The financial industry is shaking after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and the problems of Credit Suisse. The rapid rise in interest rates caught banks cold that had bet on long government bonds with low interest rates. SVB had to report losses due to the falling prices of these bonds. As a result, more and more customers withdrew their funds, and the bank was already in trouble, even though the government bonds were supposedly safe. Now the FED is likely to reconsider its interest rate policy. Some market participants even expect the interest rate to be lowered. This plays into the cards of growth companies, which previously suffered from the hikes. We, therefore, highlight Meta Materials and Palantir, two growth companies with innovative technologies, and conclude with a look at Commerzbank.

The big battery question of 2023: BASF, Altech Advanced Materials, Volkswagen - Who is the fastest?
In recent months it has become clear to investors that the global economy will have to contend with sharp price increases after the pandemic. The greatest inflationary pressure comes from scarce raw materials, especially for high-tech industrial goods. That is because the trend toward climate protection is forcing the industry to make its manufacturing processes more resource-efficient. As a result, this requires major investment in new energy plants and storage systems. Electromobility is still the smaller problem here because how will humanity secure green energy supplies around the globe? The energy hunger of the emerging nations already exceeds the new demand in the industrialized nations by a factor of six. Sophisticated ideas are needed!

BYD, Defense Metals, JinkoSolar - Energy transition reloaded! This is what matters now
If you order a new photovoltaic system today, you cannot avoid products from China. Even German brands often work with Chinese partners and benefit from local technology at favorable prices. But the energy transition is facing a turning point: The gap between East and West is getting deeper and deeper. We look at what this means for companies in the sector and where opportunities could arise.

First Hydrogen, Volkswagen, Daimler Truck - The unstoppable energy transition, who is winning the race?
Canadian fuel cell manufacturer Ballard Power joins First Hydrogen for LCV test drive. The two companies are cooperating to produce the world's first hydrogen-powered vans. According to expert forecasts, the logistics industry will be worth EUR 13.7 billions by 2027. Change at Volkswagen's premium Audi brand is proceeding rather sluggishly. The regulations imposed by the EU are causing problems for CEO Duesmann, who sees it as unrealistic to implement everything that Brussels demands by 2025. Daimler Truck, on the other hand, is looking forward to a major order that will soon get 1.8 million people in the Hamburg metropolitan region moving. The Hamburg-Holstein transport authority signs a major order.

Alpina Holdings, Vonovia, Credit Suisse - Real estate market booms in Asia, Europe staggers along
The Silicon Valley Bank knockout is also making its rounds on this side of the Atlantic. Credit Suisse shares are currently reeling, sliding 30% lower, after its main shareholder ruled out further support. This helped drag down all European banks. That is not all. The real estate industry across Europe is also trembling as the EU Parliament has passed a resolution for the compulsory renovation of all houses. By 2050, all buildings in Europe are to be climate-neutral. As early as 2028, only buildings that are considered "emission-free" are to be allowed to be built. Existing buildings will have to be refurbished if they are deemed to be in poor condition. That means immense renovation costs for the Vonovia real estate group, which is suspected of corruption. The Singapore-based company Alpina Holdings is in a better position here. The Company builds and manages both public and private properties in the Lion City. Read here what this means for investors.
