Gold correction - Now is the time to take advantage of the lows! Takeover rumors at Evotec, Desert Gold, Bayer and SMCI
The re-election of Donald Trump as US President had varying effects on the capital markets. The US dollar gained against all currencies, while the hot topic Bitcoin reached new all-time highs of over USD 90,000. The enormous influx of funds into the US stock markets initially slowed down other exchanges. At the same time, the previously sought-after precious metals corrected sharply, putting pressure on mining stocks again. The first shockwaves have now been absorbed, and attention is turning to the real political issues that the White House will now push forward. Defense, industry, and security are in the spotlight, while biotech and green tech remain sidelined. There are some interesting special movements that we will examine here.

Trump is back! Buy commodities; hydrogen is on the sidelines! Siemens Energy, Globex Mining, Nel and Plug Power
With Trump's election victory and the resignation of the coalition government, the European Union's "NetZero" strategy by 2050 could be undermined. New governments now recognize that persistently high energy prices lead to significant job losses in industry. Large corporations are turning their backs on Germany in particular, where energy costs are sometimes ten times higher than in other countries around the world. America is once again taking a unique path. According to Trump, energy prices should be halved, signaling clear support for expanding fossil fuels and a strong stance against costly hydrogen solutions. However, the strengthened industrial policy should also drive up the consumption of raw materials, positioning Globex Mining in a good position and sidelining Nel ASA and Plug Power. What should investors look out for now?

Commerzbank, Thunder Gold, Plug Power – What happens after the US election?
After Donald Trump's commanding victory in the US election, the financial world faces a new era of economic transformation. In the midst of this changing political landscape, the markets are clearly identifying winners and losers. If the first term is anything to go by, banks will experience a boom due to deregulation measures and tax incentives, while the renewable energy sector will face new challenges. The rally in the price of gold has been slowed for the time being by a stronger dollar. On the other hand, interest rates continue to fall, making gold investments more attractive again. The return of Trump's economic policy agenda promises not only opportunities but also risks for sustainable investments. We look at one candidate from each area.

Bloom Energy, Almonty Industries, Barrick Gold – Strengthened for the year-end rally
Rarely has a trading week been more eventful than the past one. In addition to the landslide victory of the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, the traffic light coalition government is finally at a red light. The result was highly volatile and choppy trading. The high volatility is likely to continue until the end of the year, but the direction so far continues to point north.

Trump triumphs! What happens now with gold, e-mobility and green tech? BYD, VW, Thunder Gold, Nel, and Plug Power in focus
The US election is over. Donald Trump is moving back into the White House. Along with a tougher stance on China, conservative voters in the US are hoping for a greater focus on their own country. America needs a complete renewal of its infrastructure and will push ahead with armaments, so commodities of all kinds will come into focus. For Europe, the degree of responsibility for its own affairs will increase significantly, and the development of stable supply chains is imperative. Trump supports Bitcoin, so gold may have to give up some of its recent gains. What are the yield or loss drivers for investors now? After the election, investors should separate the wheat from the chaff to ensure their portfolios are properly positioned.

Takeover fever and buy recommendation! Evotec, Nel ASA, Barrick Gold, Desert Gold
A hot takeover candidate in the gold sector is Desert Gold. Gold production in West Africa is expected to start in 2025. It is quite possible that one of the major gold companies will make a move by then. After the disappointing quarterly figures from Barrick Gold and Newmont calls for takeovers are growing louder. Analysts see significant upside potential. In the biotech sector, Evotec is repeatedly being discussed as a takeover candidate. The core business is considered extremely attractive, and the new CEO is expected to eliminate all the legacy issues this year. Next week will be exciting! And then there is Nel. Operationally, things are not going well for the former hydrogen star. Can the collaboration with a potential buyer turn things around?

New gold record at almost USD 2,800 and takeover circus! 1000% chance with Desert Gold
Why are precious metal prices rising so sharply?
For three weeks now, prices for gold and silver have been soaring. Yesterday, the price of gold reached a new record high of USD 2,795. The price is being driven by speculation about falling interest rates and the uncertain outcome of the US presidential election. Among the key price drivers is the speculation on lower interest rates, especially after major central banks like the Fed and the ECB have officially initiated a shift in their monetary policy by lowering their key interest rates. Since gold does not yield any market interest, speculation about further falling financing rates and crumbling government bond coupons automatically leads to higher demand for gold. Then there are the ongoing geopolitical conflicts around the world, which are moving into a new dimension with the attacks and retaliatory strikes between Israel and Iran. The impending election also plays a significant role, with market participants preparing for a potential presidency under Donald Trump, as polls indicate his victory is becoming more likely. Here, too, gold is benefiting from the prospect of an election victory by the former president, as he is likely to massively expand the country's debt due to the announced investments in industry and security, but at the same time, force the Fed to cut interest rates further to make this course of action financially viable. However, since a Trump presidency remains uncertain, the precious metal should have further upside potential in the short term while also experiencing significant fluctuations.
