Gold in focus, Defense accelerates again – Agnico Eagle, Golden Cariboo, Hensoldt, and RENK in focus
The daily theatrics are hard to beat. US President Donald Trump is engaging in slapstick and snubbing long-standing trading partners. In his own country, he leaves no stone unturned in his efforts to counterbalance the nearly USD 36 trillion national debt through savings and additional revenues. This creates great uncertainty in the stock markets and causes economic institutes to calculate more precisely whether, instead of growth, a recession may be looming. But perhaps it is all just a test to force political partners to the table. However, the threat of inflation means that precious metals remain in focus. Unresolved geopolitical conflicts also continue to drive defense machinery forward. Here, a volume in the triple-digit billion range is expected, which will result in revenue in the coming years. The train is running at full steam!

Tariff madness drives gold! Caution advised with Barrick, Globex Mining, Mutares, and Steyr
Every day brings a new spectacle from the White House. What resembles a farce is, unfortunately, a harsh reality. The new president, Donald Trump, leaves no doubt about who dictates the conditions in global trade. But even Mr. Universe has to row back now and then because experts have a clever piece of advice or two on how to avoid completely running the US into the ground. After all, the proclaimed tariffs threaten a severe cooling of the global economy and a surge in inflation - a perfect opportunity for precious metal investments. Due to the general uncertainty, defense stocks also remain in focus. We do the math.

Gold and defense at RECORD LEVELS: Deutz, Barrick Gold, and Desert Gold – Who will multiply?
Gold is breaking record after record. Goldman Sachs has now raised its forecast for the price per troy ounce. Barrick and Newmont woke up last week and showed that large investors are also investing in gold mining stocks again. The takeover candidate Desert Gold offers an opportunity for multiplication. The rally has largely passed the stock by, which has been in a sideways trend for over a year. Analysts see an attractive risk-reward ratio and recommend buying the stock. Deutz is also receiving buy recommendations. Analysts view the announced acquisition as a strategic move with the potential for electrifying military vehicles in the future. And what is the gold heavyweight Barrick doing?

USE BUY-LEVEL PRICES! Deutz, Infineon, and Walmart partner, MiMedia: Analyst favorite, AI hidden gem, and profiteer!
MiMedia is likely to face a revaluation. The AI cloud player has held up surprisingly well during the recent sell-off, even completing a capital increase beforehand, and is now starting operations with the giant Walmart in Latin America. Revenues are expected to increase massively this year – will the stock follow suit? Deutz has also held up well in these turbulent times. Following the takeover in the electric sector, the Company confidently announced price increases despite the tariff chaos. In Germany, the engine manufacturer could benefit from the new federal government's plans. Infineon's stock has taken a beating. Will a takeover in the US turn things around? Analysts believe that the semiconductor group is one of the structural winners in Europe. Should you buy the stock?

TAKEOVER and BUY RECOMMENDATION! Deutz, TUI, and 123fahrschule - Over 200% upside potential!
Analysts see upside potential of over 200% for the 123fahrschule share. With a digital business model, the Company is currently disrupting a traditional industry. After moving into the profit zone in 2024, earnings are now expected to rise sharply. In addition, the Company's business focus on Germany sets it apart positively from the geopolitical issues. The situation is different for TUI. Analysts are concerned that deglobalization could have a noticeable negative impact on the tourism group's business. In contrast, Deutz is benefiting from rising defense spending. The Cologne-based company is not resting on its laurels but is strengthening its e-mobility business through an acquisition. The new technology is also to be used in the military sector in the future.

Winners in the tariff quake: Renk, Nel ASA, Almonty – China attacks US defense industry
The tariff quake on the stock markets continued yesterday. For companies like Nike and the German automotive industry, the extent of the consequences is still unclear. However, there may also be winners. Tungsten producer Almonty emphasized yesterday that its defense-critical raw material is exempt from tariffs. In addition, China is tightening its controls on the export of critical raw materials. This makes Almonty shares even more attractive. Is a NASDAQ listing the next surprise? The effects of the tariffs are also likely to be manageable for RENK. The transmission manufacturer for tanks and other military vehicles has excellent business prospects here in Europe. The share was again recommended as a "Buy". Hydrogen could also benefit, as it helps diversify Europe's energy supply. Can Nel ASA benefit from this? A study shows that more investment in electrolysis capacity is needed in Europe.

Trump tariff crash – Now is the time to pick the cherries! Steyr, Mutares, naoo AG, Deutsche Bank, and Commerzbank in focus
Donald J. Trump is making the world tremble. After he read out his list of punitive tariffs of 10 to 34% in the middle of the week, the international stock markets went into free fall. The DAX, DOW, and NASDAQ corrected by over 10% and closed at a daily low on Friday. The reason: China had imposed immediate countermeasures of 34%. A nightmare for consumers worldwide. Because on top of the inflation that has already manifested itself since Corona, there is now a further surge in prices that cannot be absorbed by anything. However, it will be costly for the Americans - they import over 70% of their goods abroad. The winners could be China and Europe if a free trade agreement is now agreed and the US is simply left out in the cold. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Stock set for 100% rally! Evotec, thyssenkrupp, Vidac Pharma - A golden April ahead?
Can shareholders look forward to a 100% price gain soon? If analysts have their way, this could be imminent for Evotec. However, shareholders must first mark an important date in April, as the medium-term share price performance is likely to be decided then. For Vidac Pharma, analysts see even greater upside potential, making the current price weakness an interesting entry opportunity. After all, the biotech company is making operational progress. One of the surprises of the current week is thyssenkrupp. The Company is benefiting from billions being spent in defense and infrastructure. Now, it could also benefit from Trump's tariff policies. Analysts recommend buying.

Steyr Motors, Power Metallic Mines, BYD – From unique selling point to market leader
In the context of geopolitical tariffs and green transformation, drive technology, raw material extraction, and e-mobility are merging into key sectors. While US automotive tariffs are setting new rules from 2025, three players are driving systemic solutions: Steyr Motors, a pioneer in high-performance hybrid engines; Power Metallic Mines, which is setting ESG standards with carbon-neutral nickel; and BYD, which is dominating e-mobility through innovation. Their strategies – technological sovereignty, vertical integration, and resource-efficient ecosystems – demonstrate how the apparent contradictions between decarbonization and industrial reality can be overcome. Three companies, one mission: to shape the value chain of tomorrow.
