DAX on a high, clear turnaround at Evotec and Saturn Oil + Gas, TUI and Lufthansa in a daily battle
The current stock market euphoria might seem out of place at first glance, given the geopolitical uncertainties, sluggish economic growth, and persistent inflation. However, it is important to remember: The stock market is looking 6 to 9 months ahead. The expectation is that inflation will weaken significantly, and the current interest rate level will fall considerably. In this environment of "steadily improving conditions", technology shares seem to be on the rise. Wars such as those in Ukraine or the Middle East may weigh on people's minds, but they boost the balance sheets of the defense industry. In this respect, there is little reason for pessimism, and the DAX at least reached new all-time highs at the end of August. It is worth taking a look at some of the lagging stocks.

Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, Intel - The invisible engine of high-tech applications is called tungsten!
Tungsten, often operating behind the scenes, plays a central role in some of the most innovative and technologically sophisticated industries in the world. As a high-tech raw material, tungsten is essential for the production of modern microchips and electronic devices that shape our everyday lives. At the same time, it is an indispensable component in the defense industry, where its exceptional hardness and resilience contribute significantly to the development of advanced weapons systems. Due to its properties, tungsten is also being used increasingly in batteries. Nevertheless, the importance of this critical raw material is often underestimated.

Share buyback and buy recommendation! Rheinmetall, Aixtron, Saturn Oil + Gas share
Rheinmetall shares well above EUR 600? At least, that is what analysts believe. However, the share of the armaments group is currently struggling somewhat after reaching an all-time high of over EUR 560. But if Rheinmetall now also conquers space, new record highs should only be a matter of time. Analysts believe Saturn Oil & Gas shares have almost 200% upside potential. The oil company, with a market capitalization of over CAD 500 million, is increasingly becoming a free cash flow monster and now plans to use this for share buybacks. Analysts are also taking a positive view of Aixtron again. The technology company confirmed its forecast at an investor conference. How far can the share rise?

New Nasdaq bull market: Highs ahead for Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Super Micro Computer, and Infineon
The correction was over quickly! The Nasdaq 100 index has lost 3,000 points since the beginning of July. This meant a third of the annual performance was wiped out in the short term. However, the fantasy of imminent interest rate cuts by the Fed quickly put an end to the correction. The highly regarded technology index recovered more than half of its losses in just one week. Nvidia led the way, rebounding from USD 92 to USD 125. The half-year figures for Rheinmetall and Almonty will be available at the end of August. We take a closer look.

Takeover! Records! All-time high! Rheinmetall, Barrick Gold, Prismo Metals, and TUI
Strong figures, a takeover, and a share at an all-time high - Rheinmetall is bursting with strength. How much further can the share go? The gold price is also at an all-time high, and industry heavyweight Barrick has released strong figures. Is this finally the time for gold shares and explorers in particular? One exciting candidate is Prismo Metals. The Canadians are not only drilling for gold but also for copper and silver. The newcomer appears to be ripe for a price surge. The TUI share is still a long way from its all-time high. However, a competitor's operational development and insolvency give hope for rising share prices.

After the crash, buy defense, big data, and high-tech now! Rheinmetall, BYD, VW, Globex Mining, and Palantir in focus
The DAX had gained a good 13% by the summer, while the tech-heavy NASDAQ 100 index saw an even more significant increase of 24%. However, much of this progress has melted away in recent weeks. Due to ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, especially in the Middle East, the stock markets experienced a summer setback. This is not uncommon for this time of year. There are often index corrections, which then transition seamlessly into the year-end rally from late fall. The FED could be the driving force this year. Renowned investment banks expect the September meeting to mark the start of a longer cycle of interest rate cuts by a total of 5 measures. This would likely mark the starting signal for the next super bull markets. Before then, we will separate the wheat from the chaff to ensure your portfolio is correctly positioned.

Commodities, Travel, Defense: Almonty, Lufthansa, and Rheinmetall in focus
Global tensions offer enormous potential for investors. Given the conflicts with China and Russia, the US urgently needs to reorganise its supply chains for defense raw materials. Almonty Industries, for example, is gaining strategic importance for the US defense industry with its Sangdong project in South Korea. Meanwhile, German airline Lufthansa is struggling with price pressure and rising costs. The management is aware of the challenges and continues to pursue its strict turnaround strategy. Investors should be prepared for profit warnings here. Despite Russian threats, defense contractor Rheinmetall is expanding in Eastern Europe, with new projects in Hungary and Ukraine. Where is an investment currently proving lucrative?

Elon Musk finances Donald Trump - Now a strategic move with Rheinmetall, Aixtron, Almonty Industries, and Varta
An assassination attempt with consequences. Tech billionaire Elon Musk has expressed his deepest solidarity with presidential candidate Trump following the assassination attempt. The Tesla CEO will henceforth financially support the Republican presidential candidate's campaign massively. Musk intends to provide around USD 45 million per month, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. The latest election polls now put the Republican clearly ahead of Biden. This could lead to a strongly US-oriented policy in the spirit of "America First". Above all, Trump aims to halt immigration, invest in the ailing infrastructure, massively arm the national security, and revitalize "Old America". Everything suggests that the blockbuster sectors of high-tech and armaments will continue thriving for now. The focus is clearly on strategic raw materials due to the efforts to reduce foreign dependencies. Where are the opportunities for shareholders?
