Currency crash? Here's what opportunities look like! Barrick Gold, Globex Mining, PayPal
Those who bet on gold at the beginning of 2022 are sitting on single-digit losses today. The setbacks are more pronounced for classic stocks. Even blue chips have generally lost double digits. So in relative terms, gold has done very well - especially against perceived competition from the crypto camp. We present opportunities for investors to invest around alternative currencies now.

Desert Gold Ventures, Deutsche Bank, Barrick Gold - Is the bottom in sight?
Due to the strength of the US dollar and concerns about further interest rate hikes, the precious yellow metal again sank below the threshold of USD 1,700 per ounce in recent months. It marked a new low for the year at USD 1,680.59, which also meant a test of the lowest level from 2021. Since then, however, gold has been rising again, driven by a recovering euro and the positive statements by FED Chairman Powell after the last interest rate hike by 75 basis points. At current levels, a long-term turning point could thus be initiated.

Barrick Gold, Tocvan Ventures, Newmont - Gold stocks facing a renaissance?
The strong dollar has weighed on the gold price in recent weeks. However, the strength of the US dollar is rather a weakness of the euro. While the FED raised interest rates to fight inflation, the ECB hesitated. While the ECB recently raised interest rates by 50 basis points, it was 75 in the US. In addition, the energy crisis in Europe, especially Germany, is putting additional pressure on the euro. For US exports, this is not good news. Therefore, the markets gratefully accepted Jerome Powell's statements. The chairman of the FED wants to slow down the pace of interest rate increases. The gold price also jumped in response. We look at three companies that should benefit from a rising gold price.

Desert Gold Ventures CEO Jared Scharf on gold as a hedge against inflation
As the European Central Bank raised its interest rate by 50 basis points on July 21 in line with the U.S. Fed and the Bank of England, the price of gold in the London Bullion Market Association fell to USD 1,700 per ounce. Recession danger is rising as more rate increases are anticipated. Changing consumer and equity market conditions are reflected in declining physical and exchange-traded fund demand for gold. Desert Gold Ventures CEO Jared Scharf explains us his view.

Inflation, gold and silver - The pot is bubbling: Barrick Gold, Manuka Resources, First Majestic, Standard Lithium
The set-up for rising precious metals could not be better at the moment. Due to the enormous price surges for energy and technical equipment, the operating costs of mines are increasing, and exploration is also becoming more expensive. In the medium term, this should lead to declining production in the precious metals sector, especially since prices have been falling significantly for some time. However, physical availability is not given at the low spot prices, as an ounce of silver is currently still traded between EUR 23 and EUR 28. The converted spot price would be around EUR 19. We have interesting commodity stocks in focus.

Is Elon Musk making a move on Standard Lithium? News from Newmont and Tocvan Ventures
The sentiment of investors in lithium and gold stocks could hardly be more different at the moment. Shares such as Standard Lithium and Livent are recovering significantly from their interim phase of weakness. The entire sector is benefiting from positive comments by Tesla founder Elon Musk. There is also speculation that the wealthiest man in the world could take a stake in Standard Lithium. It would make perfect sense for Tesla. In contrast, all hope seems to be fading in the gold sector. Heavyweights like Barrick Gold and Newmont are trading near 52-week lows. The latest setback was Newmont's numbers. However, the dividend yield is now tempting, and there are also positives from the gold sector. Canadian explorer Tocvan Ventures reported convincing drill results.

Amazon, Alphabet, Viva Gold Corporation - Is data really the new gold?
Internet giants like Amazon and Alphabet are betting on digital care. One Medical is the latest acquisition of the e-commerce group. The digital health company is changing hands for USD 3.9 billion, and with it, all the user data that has been created up to that point. Specifically, this is healthcare data. Is data the new gold? With volatile markets and runaway inflation, some calm in the portfolio from real gold can be beneficial. Exploration companies like Viva Gold Corporation are betting on working in the field with digital support. Recent drilling at the Tonopah project in western Nevada has been promising. Alphabet investors, on the other hand, had to take the latest quarterly figures with a slight disappointment. While things are moving forward in the cloud business, the group's growth has been one of the slowest.

K+S, Globex Mining, Barrick Gold - Has the bottom been reached for commodity stocks?
Recession fears have had a grip on the commodities sector in recent weeks. Copper was quoted below USD 7,000 per ton again for the first time. Two other factors create additional pressure. First, there is the strong dollar. The last interest rate hikes failed to lower the inflation rate. At the same time, the strong USD is making raw materials more expensive, which has led to a drop in demand. On the other hand, the zero-Covid policy in China is slowing demand. Nevertheless, the outlook for commodity stocks is good. At the moment, many companies are taking a wait-and-see approach because of the uncertainties. If the recession does not materialize, prices will soon rise again. The three companies we are taking a closer look at today will also benefit from this.

Quality is the trump card: Alphabet, MAS Gold, Amazon - Shares that always bring joy!
The capital market environment remains tense. Squeezed by historically rising inflation figures, which do not even reflect the reality at the supermarket checkout, and massively increased interest rates, the asset class equities are trying to manoeuvre through the summer. In the face of substantial price discounts on the bond market and stagnation in the real estate sector, investors are asking themselves: Where to put their money? The fact remains that the Russian conflict and the rise in the price of fossil fuels are putting the global economy under cost pressure, with a new surprise lurking almost every day as to which goods are simply out of stock or can no longer be supplied in the long term. In this mixed situation, selection is the trump card. We have a few ideas.
