Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Commerzbank – Falling interest rates drive the price of gold
Recently, the price of gold reached record highs as interest rates continue to fall worldwide. This economic trend reflects deeper uncertainties and adjustments in global fiscal policy. A record high in gold often indicates that investors seek refuge in supposedly safe investments in times of economic turmoil and rising inflation. At the same time, falling interest rates represent central banks' efforts to stimulate economic growth and encourage investment. This dynamic interaction between the gold price and interest rates raises many questions about the long-term economic prospects. Therefore, today, we are looking at two gold companies and will examine the interest-sensitive Commerzbank.

Deutsche Bank, BlockchainK2, Commerzbank – Digitization is inevitable in asset management
Asset management is at the center of numerous financial strategies that offer customized solutions to both private and institutional investors.

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.

Commerzbank, Desert Gold, Coinbase - Which assets retain their value in a crash?
Following the financial crash, investors are increasingly seeking safe and profitable investment opportunities. Traditional savings methods at banks offer security but often only yield low returns. Gold, on the other hand, has been considered a crisis-proof store of value for centuries and experiences a resurgence in uncertain times. At the same time, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are gaining popularity, both because of their high return potential and their decentralized nature. We therefore take a look at one company from each sector and see how the shares have reacted in the latest setback.

Bank quake?! Is Deutsche Bank affected? Desert Gold and Barrick Gold as safe havens!
Europe could be facing a new banking quake. The reason for this lies in French government bonds. Since the French President called for new elections, one has been able to read a lot about a possible shift to the right, but the real problems have hardly been reported so far. France's national debt ratio is 110% of gross domestic product, making it the highest in Europe. French bonds are worth less because risk premiums have risen by almost 60%. As a result, interest rates are rising, and accordingly, the value of government bonds is falling. As a result, all banks that hold these government bonds are suffering book losses. Deutsche Bank could also be affected by this. Additionally, we are looking at gold companies that are considered safe havens.

Banks double 100%; now comes the gold rally! Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, Desert Gold and Lufthansa
The stock market keeps climbing, as evidenced by the ever-new highs of prominent indices like the NASDAQ 100, Dow Jones, Nikkei, or the DAX 40 index. While international high-tech stocks are setting the tone, financial stocks have now also returned to pre-pandemic profit levels. This is due to the return of interest margins. However, due to the poor economic situation, write-downs in loan portfolios now threaten. The generally depressing situation is also weighing on tourism companies. The situation is quite different for gold and silver. They finally reached new highs in May, and the momentum is likely to continue rapidly. What should investors pay urgent attention to now?

More than 100% with Gold, Bitcoin and Tourism: TUI, Lufthansa, Desert Gold and Deutsche Bank
The stock market has already performed very strongly in 2024. The focus has been on the artificial intelligence, high-tech, crypto and defense sectors. Many signs indicate that a sector rotation is imminent in the coming weeks. Precious metals, for example, have already made significant gains, but mining companies are lagging behind. Shares in the tourism sector have been equally subdued so far, although the COVID-related declines in the travel business should have long since been offset. In the financial sector, Deutsche Bank is attracting attention. After Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta and Rheinmetall, where are the next 100-percenters lurking?

Saturn Oil + Gas, Plug Power, Deutsche Pfandbriefbank - Energy shares and falling knives - where is it worth getting in?
The Canadian company Saturn Oil & Gas has announced its capital and operating budget plans for 2024. The main focus is on sustainable oil and gas production with high capital returns, a structured capital allocation and continuous rapid debt repayment. Plug Power is also gaining momentum and taking strong cost-saving measures to maintain its position at the forefront as a green hydrogen provider. Deutsche Pfandbriefbank (pbb) came under the spotlight last week as investors dumped shares due to its involvement in the US office real estate market. Is this bank a falling knife, or does this week offer a potential entry point? We provide the background.

Commerzbank, Globex Mining, Vonovia - Interest Rates, Commodities, Real Estate - Where is the most potential?
When it comes to investing one's money, investors have various options. Personal preferences and different risk tolerances play a crucial role in decision-making. Should one choose the security of a bank with fixed interest rate products, or does one venture into the potentially lucrative terrain of the commodities markets, where choices range between gold, oil and many other options? The third option would be real estate, the ownership of which is equated with value stability and protection against inflation. Experts recommend a diversified approach across these different areas to cushion fluctuations. We take a look at an interesting company from each sector.

Furious debt mania, a thorough portfolio check is necessary! Allianz, Blackrock Silver, Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank in focus!
From one high to the next - it is not just equities that are booming in Europe, the US and China; it is mainly debt. First Corona, then Ukraine, now Israel - there is no end to the flood of borrowing. Armaments are now being financed on credit, while the accompanying recession is draining the coffers. Real estate is becoming a hot topic: New builds are hardly affordable for families, and old buildings are swallowing up thousands of euros in green-tinted renovation costs. The Federal Constitutional Court has now put a retroactive stop to the creative spending culture in Berlin, and a new budget plan is necessary. Keeping a clear head as an investor in this environment is challenging. We look at the opportunities in the financial sector, but perhaps precious metals will also be the anchor that saves the day.
