Software giants are longing for a new gold rush! SAP, ServiceNow, TeamViewer, and DRC Gold are stepping into the spotlight
The stock market is currently showing no mercy. Against a backdrop of growing belligerence, excessive debt, and rising inflation, growth stocks are repeatedly making a run toward higher valuations. "Asset inflation" is the buzzword. It actually reached a short-term peak in early June with the IPO of Elon Musk's marvel, "SpaceX." Since then, the market has been moving sideways, and occasionally downward, amid high volatility. While chip stocks celebrated an explosive summer rally, software stocks like SAP, TeamViewer, and ServiceNow took a steep nosedive. Are there already serious hopes for a rebound here? Even gold, which had been performing exceptionally well, reaching a new all-time high of over USD 5,400 in January, came under pressure. DRC Gold, an advanced explorer on Africa's east coast, is reporting good progress and is weathering the correction in the precious metals sector well, as evidenced by its share price performance. It is hard to imagine where the market might go if investors jump back on the gold bandwagon!

Bloodbath in Chip Stocks Triggered by Margin Calls? Infineon, Aixtron, LPKF Laser—Is Zefiro Methane Headed for a Golden Future?
Following the historic rally, semiconductor stocks have recently suffered a brutal sell-off. It was not just SK Hynix, Samsung, and SanDisk that came under heavy pressure. German chip-related companies such as Infineon, Aixtron, and LPKF Laser have also lost up to 50% of their value. The decline appears to have been amplified, at least in part, by margin calls in South Korea. What does this mean for going forward? Will the AI boom drive semiconductor stocks higher again? One lesser-known beneficiary of the construction of data centers and energy infrastructure is Zefiro Methane. The company specializes in the remediation of abandoned oil and gas wells, a multi-billion-dollar market in the US. Surging energy demand from the AI sector is creating additional demand for the company's services and could ultimately support higher profit margins. The new partnership with the Well Done Foundation could provide another catalyst, accelerating the company's growth trajectory.

Defence or Artificial Intelligence? On the Hunt for Blockbusters with Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, Strategic Resources, and TKMS
The market is becoming increasingly concentrated. Despite fresh record highs in July, the number of true winners can almost be counted on one hand. The strongest performers continue to be a select group of high-tech and AI stocks, while semiconductor shares are already beginning to lose momentum. Meanwhile, oil and gas stocks are picking up speed again, while the long upswing in the defence sector that began in 2022 appears to be running out of steam. As a result, many defence companies ranked among the worst-performing stocks during the first half of the year. Now the summer slowdown has arrived, and even a potential interest cut by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is unlikely to lift sentiment. The reason is straightforward: inflation remains stubbornly high, hovering around the 4% mark in the US for an unusually long time. President Donald Trump had hoped that replacing Jerome Powell would pave the way for lower interest rates, but those expectations now appear increasingly unrealistic. Then there is the tariff setback, which is costing US taxpayers another USD 100 billion. In short, the warning signs of a broader market correction are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. For active investors, the only real question is when, not if. Against this backdrop, we take a closer look at the battered defence sector in search of the next potential blockbuster investment.

AI, Tech, Debt, and Ratings: Oracle Faces a Reality Check, Renk Searches for a Bottom, and Volatus Aerospace May Be Poised for a Technical Breakout
Oracle is pouring billions into the AI frenzy, thereby risking its credit rating. The result: investors are fleeing in droves, and the share price is plummeting. At the same time, Renk's share price has now collapsed by over 50% from its high. The German defence industry's rising star, along with Rheinmetall and Hensoldt, is desperately seeking a foothold. "Collective punishment" is the buzzword here! While the big names dominate the headlines, the Canadian aerospace company Volatus Aerospace may have finally done its technical analysis homework after turbulent times, with an open price gap now closed. Could this be a signal—or a starting gun? We analyze these three different companies and highlight where investors can still find interesting opportunities.

Turning Data into Returns: The Strategies Behind Palantir and S&P Global—How Aspermont Combines Data and Commodities
Digitalization is creating a veritable flood of data. But raw data in its unstructured form has no economic value. It is like a raw material that must first be refined and contextualized through in-depth industry expertise. Anyone who wants to stay competitive today must base their decisions on high-quality, processed data. Industry estimates consistently show that data analysts and data scientists spend, on average, more than 50% of their daily work time searching for and formatting data sets. It is no wonder that, according to market researchers, the global data monetization market is projected to grow to as much as USD 25 billion by 2034. In this article, we explore who is leading the way in this fast-paced environment and what innovative approaches are available.

AI, Oncology, and Defense: TeamViewer, BioNTech, and Antimony Resources—A Great Mix for Your Portfolio!
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The stock market is a place of extremes, and today we are looking at a trio—TeamViewer, BioNTech, and Antimony Resources—that comes from three different sectors. There is a German software pioneer that, after painful setbacks, is suddenly showing clear signs of life again. There is a once-celebrated vaccine hero pumping billions into a risky but revolutionary future in cancer therapy—while still holding a substantial cash reserve. And then there is a Canadian mineral explorer digging deep into the earth for a material without which our modern world would simply grind to a halt—one that is also crucial for the defense industry. It is precisely this mix of a software-AI turnaround, a biotech-oncology transformation, and mineral potential that makes the market so incredibly exciting. Join us on a journey through three fascinating corporate stories.

Nuclear Energy 3.0: Computing Power for AI and the Cloud – Standard Uranium, AMD, Broadcom, and SpaceX Can Deliver
According to McKinsey's forecasts, massive data center capacity will be needed to fully support global AI growth through 2030. In total, the high-tech industry will need to invest approximately USD 5.2 billion in AI infrastructure alone. At the same time, the International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that global electricity demand for the required computing power will more than double to 945 terawatt-hours. In this highly capital-intensive environment, AMD and Broadcom are positioning themselves as challengers in the chip market, while SpaceX is attracting visionary attention with its connectivity services and space-based energy concepts. Slightly upstream, but serving as an important bridge, is the uranium industry—a raw material that is in high demand for the construction of the next generation of power plants. Who is best positioned in this market?

New Billions for TKMS, AI Rally at Alibaba, and Power Metallic Mines with Chart Potential
Geopolitical crises are like a ticking time bomb for the stock market. Over the weekend, the situation in the Strait of Hormuz escalated dramatically once again. Iran blocked one of the world's most important trade routes, container ships were fired upon, and the US responded with airstrikes. What may be just another headline for many, however, represents a completely new market dynamic for investors. This escalation in the Middle East is putting pressure on energy prices, thereby creating winners and losers in the most unexpected places. It is precisely at times like this, when the overall market comes under pressure again, that real opportunities emerge. The Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, for example, is staging a fascinating comeback, while the German defense contractor TKMS should actually benefit from contracts worth billions. And then there are the companies profiting from critical raw materials. Companies like Power Metallic Mines, with their raw materials lying dormant underground, are also working toward the future of electric mobility—an industry on the verge of a revaluation. Three completely different companies, three completely different industries, but all directly or indirectly influenced by what is currently happening in the Persian Gulf. The question remains: who is really benefiting from this crisis, or which entry point offers a good setup? Read on to find out how you can profit from the current geopolitical tensions.

Technical Analysis in Focus: Opportunities at Infineon, Volatus Aerospace, and Meta?
Summer is typically a quiet time on the stock markets. Even though quarterly earnings are released in many sectors starting in July, too many investors are already on their summer break. But this year, the markets are proving to be extremely volatile. Across many sectors, including semiconductors, hyperscalers, auto stocks, and sports companies, we are seeing sharp daily swings in either direction. On top of that, the war is returning not only to the Persian Gulf but also to the trading floor. This high volatility calls for technical analysis. That is why we are taking a look today at the stocks of Infineon, Volatus Aerospace, and Meta.
