BASF, Lufthansa, Triumph Gold - Watch out for the end of the year!
After months of tough negotiations, the UK and the EU are on the verge of a historic trade deal. However, we still face some hurdles in the British and European parliaments. No one wants a "no-deal" exit - the UK has already extremely sidelined itself with its tract, and the British pound reflects the skeptical view of the markets. Now that an agreement is within reach, it must be written into law. The British government has announced that it will call MPs to Parliament on 30 Dec for the last heavy day of work to vote on the rulebook. However, according to the UK's chief Brexit negotiator David Frost, MPs are still waiting for the agreement's full text to be published soon. It seems like the MPs will have to hold a blind vote. Our guess: it won't work!

Daimler, dynaCERT, Tesla, Volkswagen - state-subsidized share gains
The German energy transition and the change in mobility can be summarized in one sentence: maximum effort for minimum success. While the impact of the German population on global environmental responsibilities is marginal, the financial burden is enormous. The introduction of battery cars has already failed and is now only getting off the ground thanks to unprecedentedly high premiums on a new purchase. The original selling point that battery cars are better for the environment has failed miserably. The federal government is now engaging in damage control and appealing to subsidy hunters. On top of that, the acquisition is now sweetened with a state-subsidized charging station. Speculators are rubbing their hands.

BYD, RYU Apparel, JinkoSolar - There is huge potential here!
As of today, retail stores in Germany are closed. Do you already have all your Christmas presents? If not, thank goodness there is an ever-growing selection of retailers on the World Wide Web. Online retail is booming, all the more so because of the recurring lockdowns. The trend to use less brick-and-mortar retail and more online retail runs through all industries. For this reason, retailers are increasingly turning to the Internet as a sales channel.

DOW, Henkel, Royal Helium - Chemistry learns sustainability
The chemical sector is entering a new era. Value chains are being reshaped as sustainability, along with economic and geopolitical shifts, new technologies, and changing consumer demands challenge the bottom line and future profitability of companies. Covid-19 has led to even greater complexity and caused significant shifts in supply and demand. However, sustainability factors and ESG criteria also offer growth and differentiation opportunities for companies that redefine their value chains and business models, adapt to the circular economy, seize the opportunities of digital technology, and upskill their employees to the best of their abilities.

E.ON, Sartorius, Defense Metals: The scarcer the goods, the higher the price
Only in times of need do you realize what matters, and this is precisely what many businesses and private individuals are experiencing during the lockdown. Industry, too, can quickly find itself in need. The best example was the first few months of the pandemic when global supply chains broke down. Today, Asia is back on the growth path and the cargo ships are fully loaded. But the industry could still be in trouble - for example, if the energy supply collapses. Only recently, it became known that increasing electromobility is causing load peaks in the power grids - for example, after work. Utilities such as E.ON want to take countermeasures and, if need be, implement so-called "peak smoothing." This implementation plan would mean that charging stations would no longer be supplied with electricity when the grid load is high. Anyone still wanting to drive an electric vehicle in the evening would be left out in the cold.

Moderna, AdTiger, AstraZeneca - here we go!
The announcement of the second lockdown last Sunday is a disaster for brick-and-mortar retailers. After an extremely sluggish Christmas season so far, the new closures will turn off the lights for stores during the most critical time of the year. Of the total 560,000 jobs in downtown retail, up to 250,000 are said to be acutely threatened. The beneficiary of this disastrous situation is once again, eCommerce. However, in addition to the major platforms Amazon, Alibaba or Zalando, other Internet companies are also profiting from the online trend.
