Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Deutsche Bank - Revolution through a new gold-backed currency?
As expected, last week, the FED and the ECB raised interest rates by 0.25% each in an effort to further fight inflation. The US dollar also showed strength. These factors are typically considered negative signals for the gold price, yet gold futures recently rallied and are preparing to test the all-time high. What could be the reason for this? One possible explanation could be the meeting of BRICS countries in Johannesburg from August 22 to 24. There are rumors that the participants want to introduce a new gold-backed currency to compete with the US dollar. Such a move could drive the price of gold to unprecedented heights. Additionally, many central banks have been increasing their gold purchases recently.

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Deutsche Bank - What happens after the US debt ceiling is lifted?
In the US, the Democrats and Republicans have agreed on a compromise in the debt dispute. This means that the US can take out more loans, which will ultimately result in an increasing money supply. This could further fuel inflation, while on the other hand, it could boost the gold price. In recent months, the gold price has soared due to the turbulence in the banking sector and was able to mark a new high. Nevertheless, this is remarkable because the FED had raised interest rates significantly, which would typically have tended to argue for a falling gold price. If interest rates do not rise further or even fall, this would be another positive signal for gold. We, therefore, look at 2 gold companies and analyze Deutsche Bank.

Caution with TUI and Varta! Smartbroker Holding with 85% price potential!
At around EUR 6, the TUI share is trading at an all-time low. Is now the time to buy into the tourism group? One analyst warns against it and believes the share price could fall by a third. Caution is also advised with Varta. The former German battery hopeful is fighting for survival. Analysts halve the price target and recommend selling the share. And the shareholders' association SdK is also sounding the alarm. A total loss cannot be ruled out. Instead of catching a falling knife, focusing on shares in an upward trend, such as Smartbroker Holding, is worthwhile. The share is one of the current year's high flyers, and analysts believe further price increases of over 80% are possible. Thanks to the new app, EBITDA could increase more than tenfold.

Barrick Gold, Globex Mining, Deutsche Bank - Gold in rally mode
The turmoil in the banking industry has recently hit Western Alliance Bancorporation. With the demise of Silicon Valley Bank, the gold price gained momentum and is heading for its all-time high. The constant increase of the money supply by the central banks and the threatening insolvency of the US support the gold price just as much as the gold purchases from China. In April, China collected another 8.1 tonnes of gold, about 10 tonnes less than in the previous month. In Q1, gold purchases by central banks were at record levels. Good for gold producers and explorers. We look at two today and see if Deutsche Bank has recovered after the turmoil.

Impending financial crisis 3.0 boosts gold: Desert Gold Ventures, Deutsche Bank, Allianz - This is where the music plays!
And another double interest rate hike. First the FED, now the ECB followed suit last week, as expected. Monetary policy is trying a dangerous balancing act, as the US banking sector is tottering, and at the same time, inflation rates remain high. Now lavish wage settlements are added to the mix, and the second-round effects are on. The aggressive interest rate hikes and the collapsing real estate market have been among the factors causing stress in the banking sector. Profiteers are few and far between at the moment, but precious metals are back on the buy list. What about the prominence of the German financial industry?
