Lynas Rare Earths, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall - The arms industry is booming
Since the end of February, a bitter war has been raging in Europe, with currently no end in sight. In the first weeks, attempts were made to stop the war with diplomacy, but this strategy is now off the table. Rearmament is the motto. NATO and its allies are supplying heavy weapons to Ukraine to stop the Russian aggressor. In addition, many Western countries, led by Germany, decided to increase their defense budget in the coming years. The primary beneficiaries of these measures, in addition to the arms corporations, are the producers of rare earth metals.

Mercedes-Benz, JinkoSolar and Globex Mining with top news - Nordex needs money again!
Rising commodity prices have recently pushed inflation in Europe to over 7%. With the ongoing conflicts, economic forecasts for global growth are now also clouding over further. The German Federal Bank expects increasing economic risks in the second half of the year and consequently reduced demand for raw materials. As a result, inflation is expected to fall next year due to the high base effects from 2022. The beneficiaries would be the industries currently suffering from fragile supply chains and dependent on a stable supply of raw materials. Hopes are therefore pinned on a near end to the war in Ukraine. Which stocks could then benefit very quickly?

Take advantage of the crash in these stocks: Infineon, Siemens, BrainChip and Apple in focus!
High-tech, cars, household appliances, smartphones, renewables - the list of products seems endless. What they all have in common is the need for smart chips: But the effects of the global chip shortage are omnipresent. From today's perspective, leaders would undoubtedly like to turn globalization back a bit because the relocation of production sites around the world is creating huge problems ranging from logistics to high procurement prices to completely destroyed supply chains. If Central Europe does not grasp its energy dependence on the East soon, hard times may lie ahead for local industrial locations. Where are the opportunities in a fragile environment?

What if everything turns out well? Nordex, Aspermont, Deutsche Bank
The R-word is currently doing the rounds - and is playing a major role in ensuring that the downward economic spiral accelerates even faster. Yet the US economy is still doing well. Although economic data always refers to the past, the purchasing managers' index and labor market data speak a clear language. A recession looks different. But why is the stock market sky still not full of violins after last week's correction? We take three stocks as examples and do the comeback check for the stock market.

Barrick Gold, MAS Gold, BASF - Turnaround in sight?
Despite Western sanctions, Russia is able to earn more money with its raw material deposits than before the war in Ukraine, which it instigated in violation of international law. This is not likely to please the Western world. They are already thinking about further spiraling sanctions. In the future, Western countries will be prohibited from buying Russian gold. That will likely lead to an artificial supply shortage - good prospects for gold stocks.

Casino shares! Opportunities at Alibaba and Kleos Space, sell-off at Uniper and TeamViewer
No one would have thought that a warlike conflict in Eastern Europe could mutate into a medium-term threat to Western prosperity. It can! The dependence on fossil energy is still far too strong in the European economies to manage without regular supplies from the East. As a result, since the end of February, the markets have been extremely nervous, as seen from the volatility indices, which yesterday were close to 30. The interpretation is: to expect about 30% volatility in the stock market within the next 12 months. Nobody would mind if it would swing exceptionally upward. Below are a few sparkling investment ideas.

K+S AG, Viva Gold, Rheinmetall, Hensoldt - Recession fears across the board
Increasing fears of a global recession are sending the capital markets into a tailspin. The DAX marked a new low for the year at 12,385 points, while the euro fell to its lowest level in almost 20 years against the US dollar due to weak economic data from the eurozone. In addition to the oil price, which has been booming for weeks, the precious metals markets also took a beating, with gold breaking below the psychologically important support zone at USD 1,800. Due to the partly exaggerated price reactions, however, there are long-term anti-cyclical buying opportunities.

Synergy effects as a risk buffer: Amazon, wallstreet:online, Volkswagen
Experienced value investors look for an "economic moat" in attractively valued companies. These business model characteristics make it particularly immune to external influences and disruptive factors. These include, for example, low-priced items that are a hit with consumers thanks to strong brands and are therefore readily purchased even in times of crisis. Another form of "economic moat" can be different divisions and business units that complement each other. We highlight three synergy stocks and explain how they can be stable investments.

Attention, turnaround! Lufthansa, TUI, Desert Gold, Deutsche Bank: These stocks are taking off again!
From several perspectives, the ongoing crisis is a mammoth task for asset managers and private investors. First, after the long uptrend and the absolute boom valuation of growth stocks from 2015 to 2022, no one knows when a sufficiently high discount has been reached to re-enter. Some stocks, such as Plug Power, are very forward-looking and dependent on government contracts. Here there have already been sales valuations of a factor of 200. So is a P/S ratio of currently 12 after an almost 80% share price loss cheap or still hopelessly overpriced? We do not know because the ongoing war sets new market parameters daily. The major indices will therefore continue to search for a valuation basis in a very volatile manner. We pick out a few selected opportunities.

Buy or sell? Nel, Zalando, Aspermont under analyst review
After the heavy losses of the past months, a countermovement seems to be starting at the moment. Whether this will turn into a real summer rally remains to be seen. Buy or sell is the question. Analysts see a price potential of over 50% for Nel ASA. Even though competition from China and India is increasing. Aspermont also appears attractive at the current price level. The latest quarterly figures were positive, and the positioning of the small-cap in the booming commodities sector is promising. At Zalando, analysts react to the profit warning, and the price targets are significantly reduced. Nevertheless, some advise buying the online fashion retailer, but not everyone.
