Coinbase, Smartbroker Holding, MicroStrategy - Strong upward wave expected
No sooner does the world's largest cryptocurrency surpass the USD 28,000 mark than the bulls increasingly enter the market and announce gigantic price targets. In view of the upcoming halving in April next year, which will inevitably lead to a supply shortage, market experts assume a six-digit price level for bitcoin. Profiteers of the expected bull run include not only Bitcoin holders but also cryptocurrency exchanges and online brokers that facilitate trading on their platforms.

Rheinmetall AG, Almonty Industries, Commerzbank - A run-up to the end of the year
After a strong first half, the stock markets corrected in the third quarter, driven by continuing risks such as high inflation, rising interest rates and the weakening economy with existing recession scenarios. The commodity markets were also unable to decouple themselves from this. Nevertheless, there are opportunities for a year-end rally in the final quarter.

Defence Therapeutics, Schott Pharma, Allianz Group: Focus on Innovation, Growth and Portfolio Optimization
According to a recent study, biotech company Defence Therapeutics achieves twice the immune response of conventional mRNA therapies with its Accum® mRNA technology. That translates to fewer side effects and a more effective treatment. According to Precedence Research, the market size for mRNA therapeutics is projected to reach approximately USD 137.59 billion by 2032. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.2% from 2023 to 2032. In order to inject these active ingredients, precision-fit medical vials are required, and Schott Pharma is ensuring this with their IPO launched on the German stock exchange this week, which could bring a valuation of around EUR 4 billion. The Allianz Group, on the other hand, is focusing on consolidation, selling its business in the Middle East and thus flushing around EUR 210 million cash into its coffers.

Artificial Intelligence in Sellout! Nvidia, Defense Metals, ARM Holdings - Nothing works without rare earths!
After long bull market movements, the stock market usually tends to rotate sectors, or the market enters a general consolidation. In the former case, investors can profit by reallocating their assets while exploring new investment opportunities. In the latter case, all stocks come down, and the capital market generally suffers from a change in sentiment and corrects recently exaggerated valuations. In the case of the new megatrend of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the stock market seems to sense a great need for correction. As if by magic, the blockbuster stock Nvidia rose by 250% in just 9 months. However, it has already retraced nearly 20% from its peak. Where do the opportunities lie for investors?

Recalculation! These are the bare figures: TUI, Saturn Oil + Gas, Deutsche Bank - Buy prices non-stop!
Companies do not always have good figures in their baggage. Analysts listen very carefully to the words of those in charge. Often, it is only a minor sentence that changes entire valuations. TUI is slowly approaching pre-COVID figures. Saturn Oil & Gas must backtrack slightly because of substantial forest fires in Alberta, and Deutsche Bank aims to finalize the Postbank project in 2023. All three stocks offer good buying opportunities because the long-term prospects are quite convincing.

Interest rates at a high - What to consider now: Deutsche Bank, Vonovia, Viva Gold
The European Central Bank (ECB) recently raised interest rates by 25 basis points. For many market observers, this could mean that the benchmark interest rate within the Eurozone has reached its peak. In the US, the signs also point to a pause in interest rates. Here, we explain what this means for various asset classes and how investors should navigate the high-interest rate environment. Additionally, we will explore an interest-free alternative that has its merits for various reasons.

Deutsche Bank, Globex Mining, Vonovia - What are the consequences of the ECB's latest interest rate hike?
After a long period of zero interest rate policy, the ECB is stepping up the fight against inflation and last week raised interest rates for the 10th time in a row. The effects are very different. For banks, on the one hand, profit may increase via higher interest rates, but it may also decrease if fewer loans can be made. For commodities, the rise in interest rates in Europe could lead to a stronger US dollar. However, this is rather unlikely, as interest rates in the US are still higher. For the real estate sector, rising interest rates are poison. Loans are becoming more expensive, and thus, demand for real estate is falling. Today, we look at one company from each sector.

Unbelievable! Hands off AI, biotech in rebound! Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Morphosys
The big fall decline is now over. It is always a difficult time, but the so-called "Triple Witching" went relatively smoothly this time. The European Central Bank (ECB), in its first interest rate meeting after the summer break, decided to raise key rates by another quarter point to 4.00%, up from the previous 3.75% in July. At the same time, it lowered its inflation forecast for 2025 and the outlook for economic growth in the Eurozone for the years 2023 to 2025. Economic risks are increasing, but inflation remains the determining factor for interest rates. Expectations that the US Federal Reserve (FED) will announce an interest rate pause at its next meeting on Wednesday have boosted confidence. Last week's big losers were the recently favoured AI stocks Nvidia, Microsoft and C3.ai. However, the biotech sector has recently started to climb again. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Artificial Intelligence in practice? Nvidia, NorCom, Palantir - The next 100% with Big Data
The stock market is not a one-way street. Investors are trying to ride the wave of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI), and corresponding stocks such as C3.ai, Nvidia, Microsoft, or Palantir are performing well in 2023. A new megatrend is underway here, which, according to experts, will continue for several years. However, because of the high valuations in the entire sector, it is worth taking an analytical look. After all, no one knows how long the AI boom will continue to generate decent returns on the stock market. Opportunity-rich stocks still exist in the second and third tier. We are taking a closer look.

Wirecard 2.0 for AI industry? Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, Desert Gold
It is currently little more than a sequence of events and backgrounds. Nevertheless, the video, published at the end of last week, has great explosive power. Is there a rigged game going on around one of the largest companies in the world? Are greedy hedge fund managers lining their pockets with dubious schemes? And above all, are these events sending us into a disaster compared to which the collapse of Wirecard is a non-event? We assess the situation, provide insights and point out alternatives.
