Unbelievable! Hands off AI, biotech in rebound! Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Morphosys
The big fall decline is now over. It is always a difficult time, but the so-called "Triple Witching" went relatively smoothly this time. The European Central Bank (ECB), in its first interest rate meeting after the summer break, decided to raise key rates by another quarter point to 4.00%, up from the previous 3.75% in July. At the same time, it lowered its inflation forecast for 2025 and the outlook for economic growth in the Eurozone for the years 2023 to 2025. Economic risks are increasing, but inflation remains the determining factor for interest rates. Expectations that the US Federal Reserve (FED) will announce an interest rate pause at its next meeting on Wednesday have boosted confidence. Last week's big losers were the recently favoured AI stocks Nvidia, Microsoft and C3.ai. However, the biotech sector has recently started to climb again. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Artificial Intelligence in practice? Nvidia, NorCom, Palantir - The next 100% with Big Data
The stock market is not a one-way street. Investors are trying to ride the wave of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI), and corresponding stocks such as C3.ai, Nvidia, Microsoft, or Palantir are performing well in 2023. A new megatrend is underway here, which, according to experts, will continue for several years. However, because of the high valuations in the entire sector, it is worth taking an analytical look. After all, no one knows how long the AI boom will continue to generate decent returns on the stock market. Opportunity-rich stocks still exist in the second and third tier. We are taking a closer look.

Wirecard 2.0 for AI industry? Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, Desert Gold
It is currently little more than a sequence of events and backgrounds. Nevertheless, the video, published at the end of last week, has great explosive power. Is there a rigged game going on around one of the largest companies in the world? Are greedy hedge fund managers lining their pockets with dubious schemes? And above all, are these events sending us into a disaster compared to which the collapse of Wirecard is a non-event? We assess the situation, provide insights and point out alternatives.

Attention gold breakout, sell AI stocks? NVIDIA, Globex Mining, and JinkoSolar - these stocks are calling for a party!
Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks have recently seen gains of up to 500%. Fund managers worldwide jumped on the new megatrend, but now many investors are wondering what is next! We do not want to deny the revolutionary AI trends; they will dramatically change many things. But do these disruptive trends justify price-turnover ratios of over 40? NVIDIA, the main protagonist, recently managed to increase its market value to over USD 1 trillion. Yet, the Company only achieved sales of USD 26.9 billion in the last fiscal year, with profits falling by as much as 44%. This feels like an exaggeration that is probably not yet widely perceived. We take a deeper look.

Gold rush mood at NVIDIA and Desert Gold - Concrete gold share Vonovia crumbling
Stock market darling NVIDIA is behaving bullish again after a moderate decline. Over 50% of NVIDIA's buying comes from S&P500 heavyweights like Microsoft, Google and Amazon. All these companies invest heavily in GPUs to develop AI models. The rising importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the increased use of GPUs in this industry contribute to the increased demand for gold and other commodities used in the manufacture of GPUs. Desert Gold, an exploration and development company in Mali, is benefiting from this trend. Its main project, the SMSZ project, covers 440 sq km and has proven and indicated gold resources of 8.47 million tons with a grade of 1.14 g/t gold. The venerable concrete gold real estate market is currently experiencing severe dislocation. 31% of project development volume in Germany is experiencing delays in residential construction. We look at what investors should do now to protect their portfolios.

DAX consolidates, Artificial Intelligence stutters and Hydrogen in rebound? Plug Power, First Hydrogen and Nel ASA in focus
The summer has so far not brought much joy to the bulls on the international markets. After a strong NASDAQ performance of plus 30% at the beginning of the year, the tech index is increasingly facing rough waters. Not even the solid earnings of the AI giant NVIDIA could prevent the 1,500-point correction since early July. The German benchmark index DAX 40 also plunged from 16,529 at its high to below 15,800 points. Chart technicians point to the critical zone of 15,450 to 15,650, which the market could approach in the next few days. This is where the continuation of the bull market since September 2022 will be decided. A brief look at the hydrogen sector provides clarity.

AI hype soon over? Deutsche Bank, NVIDIA, Globex Mining
In September 2022, NVIDIA and Deutsche Bank announced an innovation partnership focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI). The goal: to enhance and secure financial services. A lot has happened since last year's announcement. AI is seen as a productivity booster and "the next big thing." The prices of shares such as NVIDIA have also multiplied since then. This even makes partner Deutsche Bank uneasy. We highlight risks and show alternatives.

Adyen - a warning signal for NVIDIA and Co? Power Nickel as an alternative
Growth is the fuel of the markets. When business is booming, and additional excitement is generated, stocks can turn a small fortune into a large one. For example, those who invested in the shares of the Dutch payment service provider Adyen in 2019 saw their investment more than quadruple by 2022. However, since last week, the stock has been plummeting. We explain why Adyen serves as an example for potential upcoming crashes and specifically targets the chip sector - could giants like NVIDIA be heading for a crash soon? Additionally: What investment alternatives are available?

Is Artificial Intelligence facing a crash? Facing the bear market with profit enthusiasm: BYD, VW, Nikola, and Power Nickel
The major stock markets reached new highs for the year last week. With interest rates continuing to rise, inflation still on the rise and recessionary tendencies, many market participants are wondering if the bull market will pause for a while. Because what has failed to materialize so far is a significant consolidation, which would be necessary to finally let off some steam and prevent losses of 20 to 50% within 6 weeks, as seen in 2000, 2008, 2011, 2015 and 2022. The respective starting points in those years were the volatile late summer months of August and September. Stocks such as Nividia, C3.ai and Palantir recently gained as much as 250% and have been buoyed by the AI wave. But how far can this trend go? Looking at the battery market, BYD, Nikola, and Power Nickel could be the next profit generators.

Well positioned for the future - BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Sanofi
There is currently a lot of movement in the capital-intensive biotech sector. After second-tier companies, in particular, were hit hard by the effects of tighter monetary policy last year and at times traded below their cash levels, many are now considered hot takeover candidates thanks to their innovative technologies. The well-heeled pharma giants must act to avoid missing out on future blockbusters.
