Nel successful in Australia, Rheinmetall recommended by Goldman and Barsele Minerals for the gold comeback
Interest rate fears, a looming recession and war in Ukraine - There are numerous reasons for nervousness on the stock market. But especially in uncertain times, the chances of long-term price gains are high. But where is the safe haven at the moment? Gold, renewable energies or even armaments? Gold is undoubtedly one of the disappointments of the year. The strong US dollar is weighing on the sector. But gold stocks are cheap. Alongside heavyweights, there are also explorers such as Barsele Minerals, and the Canadians bring takeover fantasy. Golden times are predicted for companies in the renewable energy sector. Hydrogen specialist Nel shines with an order from Australia. And defense companies like Rheinmetall are facing a super cycle. At the same time, the MDAX group is also getting involved in fuel cells, and Goldman Sachs advises buying.

New opportunities for copper - Rheinmetall, Alpha Copper, Nordex
Last year, the expansion of renewable energies, for which copper is elementary due to its conductivity, proclaimed a new supercycle. The result was a new 10-year high for the red metal and prices above the USD 10,000 mark per ton. Currently, the specter of recession hovers over the markets, and the correction of the base price passed the 25% mark this week. However, copper will remain a scarce commodity in the coming years and the already tight supply will not be able to keep up with the substantial increase in demand. Thus, there is a second chance for investors in the long run.

Lynas Rare Earths, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall - The arms industry is booming
Since the end of February, a bitter war has been raging in Europe, with currently no end in sight. In the first weeks, attempts were made to stop the war with diplomacy, but this strategy is now off the table. Rearmament is the motto. NATO and its allies are supplying heavy weapons to Ukraine to stop the Russian aggressor. In addition, many Western countries, led by Germany, decided to increase their defense budget in the coming years. The primary beneficiaries of these measures, in addition to the arms corporations, are the producers of rare earth metals.

K+S AG, Viva Gold, Rheinmetall, Hensoldt - Recession fears across the board
Increasing fears of a global recession are sending the capital markets into a tailspin. The DAX marked a new low for the year at 12,385 points, while the euro fell to its lowest level in almost 20 years against the US dollar due to weak economic data from the eurozone. In addition to the oil price, which has been booming for weeks, the precious metals markets also took a beating, with gold breaking below the psychologically important support zone at USD 1,800. Due to the partly exaggerated price reactions, however, there are long-term anti-cyclical buying opportunities.

Rheinmetall and Hensoldt stumble, good opportunities in XPhyto and Deutsche Telekom
As a result of the shockingly weak economic data from the eurozone, the euro fell to its lowest level in almost 20 years with an exchange rate of 1.028 against the US dollar and is currently not far from parity. This crash was followed by European equities, with the DAX recording a new low for the year. Even last week's high flyers, defense stocks, were hit hard with double-digit daily losses. Despite the current correction, there are attractive long-term, anti-cyclical entry opportunities in many sectors at current levels.

Defense Metals, Nordex, Rheinmetall - The world does not work without rare earths
Even if many people do not know much about the term rare earths, every one of us uses them. Without rare earths, there would be no smartphones, no wind turbines, no solar energy, cars and other high-tech devices. China has a virtual monopoly on rare earths. We first saw what would happen if China stopped supplying rare earths in 2010 when Japan stopped receiving supplies for a month. Prices for products containing rare earths shot up by a factor of 10. For this reason, the raw material also appears on the list of strategic metals in the USA and Europe. The EU plans to present the Raw Materials Act this fall to reduce dependence on China for critical raw materials.

Rheinmetall on the verge of a breakout, and MAS Gold and K+S with rebound opportunity
Due to the uncertain geopolitical situation regarding the Ukraine conflict and concerns about inflation getting out of hand, the most important stock market indices are again turning downward. Germany's leading index, the DAX, is once again struggling with the psychologically important 13,000-point mark. With the exception of defense stocks, there is downward pressure across the board. Fertilizer manufacturers, which initially benefited particularly from the sanctions against Russia, are also correcting sharply and offering interesting entry opportunities for long-term investors. The precious metals markets are also running into attractive buying zones.

SPD's Klingbeil: Germany as a "leading power" - Rheinmetall, Kleos Space, Airbus
Armaments were long considered the "grubby child" of the capital market. The trend toward ESG-compliant investments ensured that the defense industry was excluded from many investment instruments from the outset. But then came February 24 with all its consequences. In the meantime, even SPD party leader Lars Klingbeil has come out in favour of Germany assuming the role of a "leading power" in military and diplomatic matters. Although the connection between "leadership ordered" and "leadership received" in Germany under Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz is not so clear so far, the political mills grind slowly, as is well known - especially in Germany. It is a good thing that rearmament is an international trend - at least for investors. We take a look at three stocks.

A lot of movement at Rheinmetall, Aspermont and Deutsche Telekom
Stock markets around the globe continue to be in a downward spiral. Fears of a recession on the one hand and concerns about possible major interest rate hikes on the other have sent stock markets tumbling to new interim lows. In the process, the US markets, driven by technology stocks, entered a technical bear market last week with a loss of more than 20%. Nevertheless, most individual stocks are still clearly up since the lows in the wake of the Corona pandemic. Thus, in the current market environment, there are once again favourable entry opportunities in selected stocks.

Rheinmetall, Thyssen, Defense Metals, Airbus: Fighting the war with these blockbuster shares
The German government has reaffirmed the need for a powerful army and anchored the 100 billion euro special fund in the constitution before the Whitsun recess. The reason why the Basic Law had to be used for this was supposedly due to the budget issue because the red and green members of the government, in particular, do not want the general budget to be diminished by defense spending. Now it is here again, the reversal of the "peace dividend"; for many years, Germany in particular was able to profit from the reduction in defense spending. NATO welcomes the German decisions and now sees Germany as a paying "full partner" again. This also finally puts to rest Trump's demand for Berlin to contribute more to NATO peacekeeping costs. Where are the opportunities for investors now?
