Euro 2024 Round of 16 - A Summer fairytale on the stock markets, too? BYD, VW, Power Nickel and Rheinmetall qualify early
Football has always been a great way to distract the masses. People love sports because it relaxes them even when they are just watching - a tried and tested remedy for the multiple crises that continue to spiral into our minds. Fortunately, the stock markets are trading so high that the looming banking crisis in China and Japan is not working its way through to Europe in the media. The EU financial markets have lost a lot of ground since the election because while the NASDAQ is rushing from peak to peak, the EURO STOXX is making an almost unnoticed 5% correction, and France is even down 10%. EU spreads on German government bonds widened further, a scenario that seemed to have been forgotten since 2008. And in football, Germany is hopeful going into the Round of 16, and our stock picks are also bursting with strength.

Opportunities upon opportunities: sell AI now! Nel ASA, Royal Helium, Plug Power, and BYD
19,887 is the new record high of the NASDAQ 100 index. Dream returns from Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft could accelerate the stock market's growth into the summer once again. This could also make the second quarter of 2024 a good month for equities, as the saying "Sell in May and go Away" does not seem to apply this year. However, there are plenty of lagging stocks with great potential. They are currently on one side, as the attraction of the "Magnificent Seven" is too strong. We take the euphoria as an opportunity to take a closer look at a few promising stocks.

BYD has to pay punitive tariffs - How will this affect Altech Advanced Materials and Volkswagen?
In the midst of turbulent trade disputes, the situation in the global electric vehicle market is coming to a head. The EU has announced punitive tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles from July 4, and manufacturers such as BYD, Geely, and SAIC are therefore in the spotlight. The EU Commission accuses the Chinese vehicle manufacturers of benefiting from state subsidies, thus entering the European market with a competitive advantage. The level of duties depends on the manufacturers' willingness to cooperate with the investigations. Duties can range between 17.4% and 38.1%. The planned measures are shaking up the industry and further escalating the trade conflicts with China. German vehicle manufacturers fear retaliatory measures.

After the election, buy a combustion engine now? Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Globex Mining and BYD on the test track
The crushing defeat of the green camp in the EU elections has caused a stir in the automotive industry. Will the ban on combustion engines be overturned in favour of a general openness to technology? It is well known that the best conventional vehicles come from Germany, and they are demonstrably no more harmful to the climate than current e-vehicles. Voters have finally lifted the green veil, and the doctrine of the know-it-alls is now in retreat. From a climate perspective, investing in battery storage systems makes sense, but they do not necessarily have to be installed in vehicles. How can investors benefit from the current situation?

Volkswagen changes strategy! Can Power Nickel and Rheinmetall benefit?
In an increasingly volatile global economy, companies face unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Although Volkswagen, Power Nickel, and Rheinmetall may appear to represent different industries at first glance, the companies are often interconnected. Now that Volkswagen, as an automotive giant and key player in the mobility sector, is suddenly adjusting its strategy, it is worth taking a closer look at the impact on other companies. We explain Volkswagen's adjustments and where there are overlaps with Power Nickel and Rheinmetall.

Invest in these stocks now! BYD, Varta, Royal Helium!
Those who invest in latecomer stocks now could be rewarded. After all, the high-flyers of 2024 from the fields of artificial intelligence and armaments are anything but cheaply valued. Here are three stocks that could be worth buying now, at least at first glance. BYD has bucked the industry trend by publishing positive sales figures, is making progress in autonomous driving, and analysts are optimistic. Those looking to benefit indirectly from the boom in armaments or quantum computers should consider Royal Helium. A capital increase has injected fresh money into the Company's coffers, and the helium producer can take off again. And what about problem child Varta? The struggling battery manufacturer has found a new CEO, but the old problems remain.

Globex Mining, Samsung Electronics, BYD: Commodity rally and innovations from Asia
Increasing demand for generative AI, consumer electronics, and innovations in the automotive industry are significantly boosting demand for raw materials. These are golden times for explorers like Globex Mining. The Canadian company has such a broad-based commodities portfolio that it can be seen as a minerals land bank. For investors, this means reduced risk thanks to high diversification. Samsung Electronics is currently facing several challenges. Not only have they been overtaken by NVIDIA in chip production, but the workforce is also becoming restless. In South Korea, this would be the very first strike in the Company's history. Although the brand value is highly regarded globally, things seem to be quite off-kilter in Suwon. Innovations are produced in Asia. Car manufacturers such as BYD, Geely and Toyota are focusing on the next evolutionary stage in the development of electromobility. The EU, on the other hand, appears helpless and is trying to undermine competition with punitive tariffs. Will they succeed?

Energy transition with the battery revolution! BASF, Altech Advanced Materials, Siemens Energy and BYD
And once again, Nvidia! The NASDAQ continues to set the pace. In addition to good figures from the corporate sector, hopes of an imminent interest rate cut are currently providing a boost. This should happen as early as June. Despite persistent inflation figures, the financial community believes that the Fed should prevent or at least mitigate the impending downturn in the US economy by making loans cheaper. This is grist to the mill of the long-term bulls in the tech sector. As a result, the NDX reached a new all-time high and only just missed the next thousand mark at 18,996 points. Commodities, especially battery metals, are now also bullish. This is shifting the focus of potential alternative technologies for the lithium-ion standard. Which stocks in this sector are attracting attention?
