The big energy question in 2023: BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Varta, BASF - Is the thread breaking?
Although the year 2023 starts with rising share prices, Central Europe is entering a difficult period. The start of the New Year brings a new situation for German consumers of refined products, as the purchase of crude oil via the Druzhba pipeline has now been stopped. Germany is thus implementing the oil embargo against Russia decided in the EU and losing a vital supply of oil overnight. As a result, the East German refinery in Schwedt reduced its throughput to 55% and is looking around for other suppliers. Whether this will work out in the short term is more than questionable. If the gas storage facilities are empty at the end of the relatively warm winter, the energy question will arise again. We now realize how fatally energy dependence on Russia has grown over the past decades. How tangible are alternative energies and the high-performance energy storage facilities they require?

Desert Gold Ventures, Amazon, Volkswagen - Commodities in hot demand, while big tech and Automotive in a nosedive
The new stock market year is starting with a strong pole position for commodities and companies like Desert Gold Ventures, which is looking for gold in Mali. Mali is the third-largest gold-producing country in the world. Desert Gold Ventures' 'SMSZ Project' already surrounds 6 active gold mines, and drilling for 2023 is secured. Things remain shaky for big tech companies like Amazon and automotive like Volkswagen. Can the past Christmas sales bring Amazon's once largest pillar back into the black? Will the Wolfsburg-based company recapture its market power through restructuring in procurement?

E-mobility - Tesla in crisis! BYD, Almonty Industries, Mercedes, Porsche - Who is the best performer in 2023?
The year 2022 ended with a sell-out at Tesla. Not that the shelves for Tesla vehicles were ransacked - no - the Elon Musk share advanced to the negative leader in the car performance list with a 70% loss. First, there was the egocentric's Twitter takeover, which could only be contested by sales in Tesla shares. Then many funds followed the downward trend, selling heavily until just before Christmas. The news of the construction of a Tesla infrastructure in Turkey helped the stock to a quick revival at the beginning of the year. But who has the best cards among automotive stocks in 2023?

Growing optimism at Deutsche Bank, Alerio Gold and Sartorius
The volatile and weak stock market year 2022 is history, but the issues with rising inflation combined with fears of recession as well as the uncertainties in geopolitics with existing and threatening conflicts in Ukraine and Taiwan remain. Thus, at least the high volatility is likely to continue. Despite all the imponderables, many experts see opportunities for a thoroughly positive stock market year. In the gold sector, too, new price targets beyond 2000 are already being passed around. Many shares from this sector therefore offer attractive long-term entry opportunities at a reduced level.

New COVID outbreak in China: BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, CureVac and Valneva shares in focus again in 2023
The next COVID wave is rolling towards Europe. Representatives of the EU states therefore want to discuss a unified approach on Wednesday due to the latest development in China. The main issue is how to deal with entrants from China. A spokeswoman for the Federal Ministry of Health in Berlin said that the situation is being closely monitored and that the EU partners are also being consulted. At French airports, arrivals from China are already generally tested for the virus. Italy and Spain have also reacted with corresponding regulations. The German government sees no reason to do so so far. Is Germany too slow again, or is prudence the order of the day?

Tocvan Ventures, BASF, BYD - These companies are set to scale up
Gold is a key ingredient in the telecom industry. If Apple scales up its iPhone and iPad production in India with partner BYD, the demand for gold will increase immensely. Canadian explorer Tocvan Ventures specializes in exploring and mining gold sites in Mexico. After successfully exploring the area in the "Pilar Project", the Company is going to the next round. Analysis of the percentage of gold in the current drilling is pending. Things could also be looking up again for BASF. Subsidiary Wintershall Dea has discovered a hot commodity in the Norwegian Sea.

Amazon, Aspermont, TeamViewer - Which stock will take off fastest in 2023?
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted the global economy, and investors have had to consider a host of new risks and opportunities.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Pfizer - The cards are being reshuffled
The Corona pandemic is seemingly coming to an end after almost three long years. The return to normality, now in China and the rest of the world, is a relief for society and the economy. In contrast, vaccine manufacturers are losing a billion-dollar business that is difficult to compensate for with products in other areas of application. Nevertheless, the stock market valuations of the vaccine producers continue to be exorbitantly high, as does their drop in value.

Barrick Gold, Globex Mining, Rio Tinto - Commodity supercycle continues in 2023
2022 was the year of energy commodities. Goldman Sachs expects commodities to continue to deliver the best returns for investors in 2023, with increases of over 40%. Goldman Sachs has been predicting a commodity supercycle since late 2020. In 2023, the price of Brent crude oil is forecast to rise to USD 105 per barrel in the last quarter, and the price of copper is forecast to rise from around USD 8,400 to USD 10,050 per ton. The main argument is the low level of investment in the commodity sector, which is unlikely to meet demand. Therefore, today we look at three companies from the commodity sector.

Infineon, Manuka Resources, Barrick Gold- The acquisition wave is underway
In times of inflation, rising interest rates, skyrocketing energy prices and global recession fears, the consolidation process will likely accelerate significantly in many industries next year. Capital-intensive, as yet unprofitable companies with an innovative business model face major challenges if they are to retain their independence in the future. Larger groups are already digging in their heels to prepare their portfolios for the future. Especially in the precious metals sector, increasing acquisition activity has been observed in recent weeks.
