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!

Barrick Gold, Triumph Gold, K+S: Here comes inflation insurance
Inflation remains an issue, but the major central banks have not yet curtailed expansionary measures. As a result, there is an increasing risk that price increases will develop their own momentum and become inflation. Although inflation is a signal of a booming economy, sharply rising producer prices are already causing long faces at some industrial companies - after all, margins are shrinking as a result. Reason enough to look at insurances against inflation. We present three companies.

Newmont, Sitka Gold, Royal Dutch Shell - Commodity prices to rise further
Research conducted in July with 1,000 European companies found that all respondents expect commodity prices to continue to rise. In part, these price increases we have seen over the past year are due to the Corona Pandemic. During the lockdown, production of raw materials was shut down, and when demand suddenly increased noticeably, they were not prepared for it. Supply chains are still disrupted today. But thanks to rising vaccination rates, the economy is picking up again in many parts of the world. Demand for oil remains high in the long term, and gold is still in its long-term uptrend despite the short-term sell-off.

Alibaba, Kainantu Resources, JinkoSolar - Asia as a global economic engine
Asia's influence on the global economy has been growing for years. On the one hand, as a sales market - Germany now transports 16% of its exports to Asia - on the other hand, its share of the world's gross domestic product is increasing. In 2019, 71% of global economic growth came from the Asia-Pacific region. Exports also contributed to this. Almost twice as much was exported to Germany in 2019 as ten years earlier. This year, economic growth in Asia will again be higher than in the rest of the world. This is primarily due to China. Today we are therefore highlighting three companies from the Asia-Pacific region.

Desert Gold, Barrick Gold, Nordex - These are the winners!
Even if inflation in the US has fallen slightly compared to the previous month, it is still at a high level of over 5%. This cannot be explained away. Despite all efforts of central bankers worldwide to regard the high inflation as only a temporary phenomenon, it is more advisable to adjust to the more realistic scenario of a persistently high inflation rate. To protect oneself as an investor against the loss of purchasing power, it helps to invest in tangible assets such as shares, real estate and commodities. With the following three companies, investors have good cards to be on the winning side.

ThyssenKrupp, Triumph Gold, Evotec - Growth before inflation
After the disastrous Corona year 2020 filled with profit slumps, the economy is coming back to life. The quarterly figures currently being reported indicate rising returns once again and thus an end to the dry spell. However, the inflation rate is also rising enormously; in Germany, it jumped to its highest level in almost 30 years, according to the Federal Statistical Office. Growth and job creation take precedence over price stability - a dangerous undertaking for the future. The central banks are being challenged.

Varta, Barrick Gold, Aztec Minerals - Before the showdown!
There is currently no sign of summer doldrums on the capital markets. Not only BioNTech is exploding, shares of lithium and battery producers are also rising strongly. On the other hand, the gold price is going crazy: After better-than-expected data from the US labor market, the gold price buckled significantly at the start of the week and has only recovered slightly so far. Nevertheless, the industry has positive news: heavyweight Barrick Gold increases profits, and at Explorer Aztec Minerals, investors ask when the knot will burst? The battery specialist Varta is also exciting at the moment, and Friday will be a showdown.
