The stock for the Dubai boom: Emirates NBD, Finexity, eToro
Dubai is increasingly establishing itself as a global hub for financial innovation. The city combines growth-oriented policies with open regulatory conditions, allowing foreigners to purchase real estate, for example. At the same time, Dubai is promoting blockchain and the tokenization of assets. In 2021, the Dubai Land Authority launched a pilot project for blockchain-based real estate tokenization to enable fractional ownership and give international investors access to this asset class. In this article, we explain the business models surrounding Dubai, tokens, and the future of investing, and why a company from Hamburg is causing a stir.

Fed turnaround and Chinese restrictions: How Deutsche Bank, Globex Mining, and Barrick Mining are positioned
Two forces are currently driving global financial markets. On the one hand, there is the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy turnaround and on the other, China's restrictions on commodity exports. This dynamic is driving volatility and creating unique opportunities in the commodities and finance sectors. Against this backdrop, it is worth taking a look at three companies. We examine Deutsche Bank, which is excelling in its home market, Globex Mining with its huge commodities portfolio, and industry leader Barrick Mining, which is benefiting from historically high precious metal prices.

Tariff shock for Trump, Concerns about US banks, Gold hype: Globex Mining, Newmont, Bank of America
In recent months, many feared the US was on a path toward dictatorship. Fortunately, this is not yet the case, as demonstrated recently by a US federal appeals court ruling, which declared 75% of Donald Trump's tariffs to be illegal. The judges involved ruled independently of their political leanings – both supporters and opponents of the tariffs included Republicans and Democrats. While this is not such a bad thing for US political culture, it does harbour enormous risks: tariffs worth billions could now be reversed, and the US Federal Reserve may once again delay its planned interest rate cuts. One clear beneficiary of this uncertainty has been gold, with the precious metal reaching a new all-time high. We highlight the opportunities.

China boosts gold – Now insurers are joining in: Sranan Gold, China Life, Allianz
China is moving the markets. The latest China bombshell concerns gold. Starting this year, Chinese companies are required to invest 1% of their assets in physical gold. This change underscores the Chinese authorities' view that gold is a key anchor of stability for the financial system. Considering the huge capital reserves of Chinese insurers, up to USD 27 billion could flow into the gold market. Analysts are celebrating the additional institutional demand, and companies like China Life are showing strong cooperation. But the best news is yet to come for gold investors.

Banking crash ahead? Consultant warns of credit crunch! Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, Sranan Gold
Stress test success does not guarantee safety. Banks in the US are currently scoring well with good quarterly figures, and stress tests, which used to be a hurdle, have long since lost their terror. However, Yerbol Orynbayev, former Deputy Prime Minister of Kazakhstan, warns that if the regulation of large banks is scaled back in the wake of the stress tests passed in June and the positive quarterly figures, this could weaken regional banks and ultimately trigger a credit crunch. Orynbayev works as a consultant in the financial sector and has been living in the US since 2017.

Capitalizing on the central bank gold rush: Barrick Mining's production, Dryden Gold's exploration, and Deutsche Bank's interest rate concerns
Gold is once again shining as a strategic anchor in turbulent times. Global central banks, especially those in emerging markets, are massively expanding their reserves, driven by geopolitical risks, currency diversification, and inflation concerns. At the same time, central banks like the ECB are lowering interest rates, which on the one hand offers banks cheaper refinancing, but on the other hand squeezes margins and increases credit risks. This dynamic mix of a gold rush, monetary policy shift, and inflationary pressure is forcing financial players to rethink their strategies. In this context, we take a look at two gold companies, Barrick Mining and Dryden Gold, and analyze the current outlook for Deutsche Bank.
