K+S, Edgemont Gold, NIO - Shares as protection against demonetization
Inflation rates have been rising steadily since the end of 2020. What was initially declared by central bankers as a temporary event is becoming a permanent problem for society and the economy. The loose monetary policy, the shortage of raw materials, and the blown-up supply chains were responsible for the fact that the inflation rate in the USA was 7.9% in March, the highest since 1982. As a result of the sanctions imposed on Russia, the supply of raw materials and oil and gas is becoming even tighter, causing prices to shoot up once again. Investors can protect themselves by investing in producers of scarce commodities. In addition, for diversification, gold should not be missing in any portfolio as protection against currency devaluation.

Barrick Gold, Ximen Mining, First Majestic Silver - Do precious metal stocks belong in the portfolio now?
Crises like the current Ukraine war or the steadily rising inflation are good for precious metals like gold and silver. According to the German Association for Precious Metals, demand for physical precious metals increased by at least 25% in the first three months of this year. Demand had already climbed by 31% last year. But not everyone can store precious metals safely. The alternative is to invest in precious metals companies listed on the stock exchange. We take a closer look at three candidates today.

BioNTech, Triumph Gold, Rheinmetall - Uncertainties everywhere
The ongoing fighting in Ukraine and concerns about an escalation of the situation are worrying capital markets worldwide. Nevertheless, the leading stock market barometers were able to distance themselves significantly from their lows. Now, the next blow has followed with the publication of the FED's meeting minutes. The US Federal Reserve wants to accelerate the reduction of its balance sheet total and let bonds worth up to USD 95 billion expire without buying again. In doing so, the monetary authorities are hitting technology stocks in particular, which have already been in a sharp correction since the beginning of the year. Gold, on the other hand, is barely reacting despite the expected interest rate hikes, a strong sign for the precious metal.

Newmont, MAS Gold, Barrick Gold - This will be the hard currency
Precious metals lived up to their name as a crisis currency when the Russian army invaded Ukraine at the end of February. Gold rose by almost 10% in the first rush and marked a new high at USD 2,070.18 per ounce. Only USD 4 was missing to climb to a new all-time high in the current world reserve currency, the US dollar. Since then, the yellow metal has been correcting, but new highs should only be a matter of time in the long term. The importance of gold can currently be seen due to geopolitical tensions. The chairman of the Russian Energy Commission, Pavel Zavalny, proposed to pay for Russian oil and gas in "hard currency", i.e. in gold.

The alternative to concrete gold: Vonovia, Hong Lai Huat, HeidelbergCement
Concrete gold and tangible assets - these two terms have probably been used the most in the past ten years or more. The run on real estate began as early as after the great financial crisis. In retrospect, it is almost amusing that the first warnings of a bursting real estate bubble were sounded as early as the mid-10s. But the trend continued, on and on. Most recently, residential real estate prices have risen by around 12% in a single quarter. Once again, warnings of an end to the upswing are being voiced, such as by Deutsche Bank. But how strongly can real estate correct? Or will the real estate boom continue? Today, we present three shares as an alternative to apartments and highlight the particular advantages of real estate shares.

K+S, Barsele Minerals, Shell - Which commodity stocks belong in the portfolio?
Commodity prices are rising in almost all areas. To blame everything on the Ukraine conflict is too short-sighted. Fertilizer prices have significantly increased in the past year due to crop failures caused by natural disasters. Oil prices also began to rise last year. However, the sanctions against Russia gave the oil price a further significant tailwind. Gold has only been able to increase with the outbreak of the Ukraine war and is currently quoted at between USD 1,900 and 2,000. The high inflation should further increase the demand for gold. Today we look at three companies from the three sectors and analyze their potential.

K+S, Almonty Industries, Barrick - Full speed ahead!
Across the board, commodity prices are going through the roof. Consumers and industry are already feeling the effects. Some price increases will only hit consumers with a time lag. Inflation, which recently rose above 7% in Germany, appears far from having reached its peak. The beneficiaries of the supply shortage are raw material producers. Their profitability and company valuations should continue to rise.

TUI, Barsele Minerals, BYD: Some stock speculations can be expensive
The question of war and peace leaves many gray areas open. Humanitarian corridors, cease-fires, reduction of military intensity - what these terms truly mean must remain an open question after the events of the past days and weeks. The only thing that is certain is that the world needs time to find a new order after the pandemic, climate change and the war in Europe. Until then, chaos remains. What can investors still rely on in the midst of this chaos? We explain using three stocks as examples.

Attention: BYD, Edgemont Gold, Delivery Hero, MorphoSys - Shares with the highest dynamics!
The intensity of fluctuation on the capital markets remains high. It is measured by volatility indices such as the EU Vola Index or the VIX on the S&P 500. Both indices had risen well above 30 at the beginning of the crisis, with the EU Vola Index even reaching a peak of 43.3% on March 7. At the beginning of the Corona Lockdown in February 2020, this index rose overnight to values of over 70%. Although these volatility coefficients are slowly trending downwards due to political easing tendencies, hedgers on the derivatives markets are pricing volatility into their products at a higher price. So those who are currently trading options may experience their blue miracle with Vola changes overnight. Some stocks have recently jumped in this environment; where are the opportunities?

Turn of the times! Stock winners and losers: Rheinmetall, Ximen Mining, ThyssenKrupp
Disputes surrounding the Ukraine war are taking on various dimensions drawing wide international circles. After China, India's role in the conflict could now also increase. According to reports by Deutsche Welle, there have been lively exchanges between Russia and India in recent weeks. India is seeking a permanent seat on the UN Security Council and has recently begun to buy Russian oil. Cooperation between the two financial systems is also conceivable. That would give Russia access to the capital markets again.
