Central African Gold, Nordex, Varta - Performers for the second half of the year!
Climate and energy transition are more than just buzzwords. They affect us all to an ever increasing extent. The production of green energy and the currently also politically favored spread of electric mobility place considerable demands on the availability of raw materials, the sufficient production of green energy and the existence of an area-wide infrastructure. As steering mechanisms, states offer extensive support measures. A market for emission certificates creates incentives as well. It is also important to keep an eye on the development of increasingly stringent ESG standards in the investment sector. Companies that do not do their homework will sooner or later lose out. These three companies have the potential to profit from the energy transition. Who will win the race?

NanoRepro, Aztec Minerals, Xiaomi - The tension is rising
On Friday, the US Federal Reserve symposium gets underway in Jackson Hole. The strong recovery of the economy after the Corona lockdowns and the strong pick-up in inflation pointed to an end of unlimited bond purchases and the first interest rate hikes. But FED Chairman Jerome Powell sees the rise as temporary and is likely to be right. Rising infection figures due to the highly contagious Delta variant are throwing a spanner in the works of further economic growth. Thus, both Jackson Hole and the upcoming FED meeting are likely to be a non-event.

Gazprom, Central African Gold, Steinhoff: Dynamic opportunities arise here
In July, German consumer prices rose by 3.8%, the highest rate in almost thirty years. The Deutsche Bundesbank expects inflation to climb to around 5% this year. Such a devaluation of capital naturally puts savers under pressure. In addition to the conservative to speculative investments in commodities, which often rise in step with inflation, some investors are also considering speculative gambler stocks. We present three shares and assess their suitability as inflation investments.

BioNTech, Standard Lithium, Desert Gold - Before the breakout?
Following record highs, the stock markets consolidated last week. The same was true for high-flyer stocks BioNTech and Standard Lithium. Although investors continue to fear persistently high inflation, both companies can benefit from positive news and have started the new stock market week on a positive note. Thus, the lethargy is over and the old record highs are being targeted. Those who want to hedge against inflation fears should look at Desert Gold as a speculative alternative. The consolidation could soon be over for the gold explorer as well.

Triumph Gold, Tencent, Baidu - China is making a big push!
While Western aid organizations are flying their staff out of Afghanistan, the political interests of direct neighbors of Afghanistan are increasing. At the crossroads of South Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East, the landlocked country borders Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, the People's Republic of China and Pakistan. Three-quarters of the country consists of mountainous regions that are difficult to access. After the almost complete withdrawal of international troops, the new rulers announced the creation of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. China sees itself as a possible savior of the first hour and wants to come to the shattered country's aid quickly. Of course, access to critical raw materials is at stake.

Palantir, Troilus Gold, Nikola - Protection from black swans
Discussions to end the ultra-loose monetary policy of both the FED and the ECB and a reduction in monthly bond purchases are currently in full swing. Fears of possible interest rate hikes due to rising inflation recently sent the gold price into flash crash mode. In the process, the precious metal lost more than USD 100 per ounce overnight and stopped short of marking a new low for the year. Since then, the crisis currency has stabilized again and could generate a new buy signal in the short term. In the long-term, gold is likely to shine brightly again due to the current framework data.

Standard Lithium, Aztec Minerals, Orocobre - Take advantage of trading opportunities!
Raw materials are a prerequisite for any kind of production. The more there is produced, the more raw materials are needed. Precious metals are also suitable as an investment. Historically, they are always in demand when inflation rises. Commodity prices are thus subject to many factors. Some of which can neutralize each other, and some of which can reinforce each other. For example, the persistently high inflation of over 5% in the USA speaks for an increasing flight of investors into precious metals and, thus, rising commodity prices. While at the same time, the semiconductor crisis, which is currently occurring, is causing production cutbacks and idle assembly lines. That means that fewer raw materials are needed, which in turn puts pressure on prices. What is the best strategy now and which share has the greatest potential?

TUI, Troilus Gold, Lufthansa - The golden summer of travel!
The "Second Summer with Corona" has seen a resurgence in international travel, even though not all corners of the globe have returned to pre-pandemic levels. At least, however, the lockdowns have largely disappeared, restaurants are open again, and cultural life is gradually returning. The travel industry is experiencing this period in different ways. For example, first, there were problems with the allotments due to many hotel bankruptcies, but then these were increased at short notice and ultimately, special promotions had to be called to sell them off. In the end, price increases could not be implemented. People's travel behavior is changing in the long term, as is society as a whole. The travel industry is, therefore, seemingly only at the beginning of a far-reaching structural change.

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, K+S - Dark clouds everywhere?
Since the publication of the July minutes of the FED meeting, the indices have been going down. Investors do not like that the minutes held out the prospect of a possible end to the financial stimulus at the end of the year. The inflation rate in the US was 5.4%, as in the previous month, and currently remains high. Following the port closure in China, it can be assumed that supply chains will continue to be disrupted. In addition, the Delta variant is causing rising incidences. Therefore, the market is currently nervous and anticipates a possible correction. Gold is still popular as an inflation hedge. We look at three companies today and see if dark clouds are gathering there too.

JinkoSolar, Central African Gold, NIO - Energy transition opportunity
With decarbonization and the drive to achieve carbon neutrality, the world is changing. There is a push for electrification and a shift away from fossil fuels. Transitions create opportunities. This transition will require massive additional quantities of copper, cobalt and nickel, whether for electric vehicles, solar, hydro or wind technologies. New industries are emerging that are still in the early stages of a long-term transformation. Seize the opportunity!
