Commerzbank, Prismo Metals, Volkswagen - Interest rate decision winners and losers
The European Central Bank has cut interest rates for the second time this year, and the US will likely follow suit. This means pressure for banks but a positive outlook for precious metals. However, this could be a huge opportunity for the beleaguered automotive industry: Cheaper financing for consumers makes car loans more attractive and leads to rising sales figures. Lower interest rates could rev up the car manufacturers' engines and get the industry back on track. We will therefore take a closer look at Commerzbank, a precious metals and copper company, and finally, Volkswagen.

This is unbelievable! 250% with an announcement: Bayer, Vidac Pharma, Evotec, and Valneva
The stock market has been rallying week after week, yet the biotech sector stubbornly lags behind. However, with the first interest rate cut in Europe, the path of lower financing options has now also been mapped out for the US. This week, the FED is set to decide on rate cuts, with 87% of capital market experts expecting a total of three cuts by the end of the year. That would be grist to the mill for growth stocks. Vidac Pharma has already gained 50% in 2 months, and Bayer and Evotec will likely follow soon. Valneva is raising EUR 61 million and aims to break even operationally. What is next for the sector?

Big news at BioNTech! Soon also at Nyxoah? What about Sartorius?
The more than 10% jump in BioNTech's share price at the beginning of the week surprised many investors. Was this the starting signal for a sustained upward trend?

E-mobility, copper boom, and chemical crisis: Rheinmetall, Prismo Metals, and BASF showcase industry trends
Rheinmetall's share price has risen by 438.95% since the start of the Ukraine conflict. Now, the Company is looking far beyond the defense industry. From electric coolant pumps for hybrid vehicles to hydrogen recirculation blowers for fuel cells, Rheinmetall is positioning itself as a pioneer in key technologies for sustainable mobility. This demand is significantly impacting the need for copper. Here, Prismo Metals is positioning itself as a strategically ideal partner with projects in Mexico and the US. While BASF seeks to secure its competitiveness with these measures, this also raises questions about the future of the chemical industry in Europe and the impact of strict climate regulations on global corporations.

BioNTech, First Hydrogen, and TSMC with big announcements
As we enter the final third of what has so far been a successful 2024 stock market year, uncertainties and volatility are increasing. Even the seemingly invincible chip giant Nvidia has lost around a quarter of its stock market value since its highs in mid-June. On the other hand, other companies that have fallen sharply in recent months have reported positive news that could herald a possible rebound.

Caution: The next commodity rally boosts Globex but brings higher costs for VW, BMW, and BYD!
The price of copper exceeded the USD 9,000 mark again in September, and future prices remain stable above the USD 9,400 mark. This makes it clear to high-tech manufacturers and producers of alternative energies that the desired electrification will cause significantly higher costs than anticipated. Despite the global economic stagnation, commodity prices remain high. This is mainly due to the general increase in operating costs in mining operations. Energy, material, and personnel costs have seen the most significant increases in over 30 years since 2020. Major consumers of industrial metals, in particular, are now having to dig deeper into their pockets. For some, this is feasible, but for mass producers such as Volkswagen or BYD, this means increased pressure on margins. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Multiplication and travel boom! Bayer, TUI, Vidac Pharma
Vidac Pharma shares have gained over 23% in the past four weeks. Driven by strong study data from the biotech company focused on fighting cancer, analysts even see the potential for multiplication. Such euphoria has been absent at Bayer for some time. However, at least there is positive momentum from the pharmaceuticals division again, which is much needed, as the Leverkusen-based company's pipeline is considered modest. In contrast, business at TUI is booming. Nevertheless, the tourism group's shares have disappointed in the current year. Will a new cruise ship take it towards EUR 10?

Broadcom, BlockchainK2, C3.ai - AI hype in full swing
The rise in the use of artificial intelligence continues unabated. Therefore, the current correction in AI-related stocks should be seen as a long-term entry opportunity. The fact that the US data specialist Palantir is the first player to make it into the elite S&P 500 shows just how important the super cycle, which is still at the beginning, already is. In addition, new companies are constantly entering the market, which could significantly increase their stock market value in the future with innovative technologies.
