Newmont, Tembo Gold, First Majestic - The inflation bubble is filling up!
With the current climate debate and the parallel GreenTech hype, the development of precious metals is being ignored and left aside. Investment flows are going into the strong momentum stocks from the tech sectors, and gold and silver keep ending up on the sell lists after minor recovery attempts. The Federal Reserve is worried about dealing with the latest inflation data; after all, the economy is still laboring from broken supply chains and blocked sea routes. There will not be much growth in 2021 either, which does not seem to bother the stock markets. After all, shareholders like to hear the magic word "inflation," as it promises higher nominal profits and historically high asset prices. But the topic of gold and silver will come, so today, we look at interesting mining stocks.

Barrick Gold, Central African Gold, Gazprom - Gold becomes a fireball!
The development of gold follows the inflation trend in our economies in the last 25 years. Before the turn of the millennium, the ounce was still below USD 200. Due to the real estate bubble after the dot-com boom and the devastating effects of the US subprime crisis, the precious metal reached its temporary peak in 2011 at USD 1,950. At that time, the ECB tried to prevent the collapse of Greece with emergency loans. With the deployment of EUR 336 billion, this European rescue experiment succeeded for the time being, but the gold price then lost value again in the following years until 2015, down to USD 1,120. Last year, there was then a new attempt in the direction of north. In May, the precious metal reached USD 2,050 - a plus of USD 600 since the Corona Crisis. Where does the metal go from here?

Deutsche Bank, Silver Viper, Hypoport - Back on track
The flood of figures continues unabated. The technology giant Microsoft exceeded all expectations and outperformed sales by 22% compared to the same period last year due to the trend towards hybrid working. Google's parent Company Alphabet also posted a substantial increase in profits. The figures of various financial companies were also surprisingly strong. Due to the underperformance in recent years, there is clear rebound potential for many.

First Majestic, Silver Viper, Barrick Gold - Best prospects for precious metals
For the first time since December 1993, the inflation rate in Germany reached a value of over 4%. In the USA, too, the rate rose to 5.4%, although economists had actually expected it to fall. Nevertheless, the central banks are currently making no attempt to counter inflation by raising key interest rates. No one wants to jeopardize the tender little plant of the economy after the disastrous Corona year. Surprisingly at first glance, prices for precious metals as a "crisis currency" are not rising to the extent that would be expected. But there are clear signs that demand will increase strongly.

First Majestic Silver, Aztec Minerals, CureVac, Valneva - Opportunities upon opportunities!
So much for the summer lull! There is much more going on in the stock market than many thought. Gold and silver are making real leaps and bounds, as are the associated stocks. With the vaccination values, the chaff separated clearly from the wheat. Those that cannot currently deliver remain depressed in price. Nevertheless, the valuations of the remaining stocks are not low either. There is still hope for one or the other product's success. We take a closer look at a few stocks.

SunMirror, Varta, Akasol, IBU-tec - The new batteries are coming fast!
The industry is now overflowing with pronouncements on electric mobility! The USD 2 trillion infrastructure plan unveiled by Joe Biden includes allocating hundreds of billions of dollars for measures against the vexing climate change. According to estimates by the renowned investment house Raymond James, the funds earmarked for climate spending total USD 628 billion, including USD 174 billion for research into electric mobility and another USD 100 billion to rehabilitate the USA's ailing power grid. Reason enough for us to take a closer look at metal and battery stocks.

Defense Metals, Millennial Lithium, Orocobre: Metals are exploding!
The rally in industrial commodities continues - precious metals, on the other hand, are experiencing the biggest daily slump since November. The reasons are simple, although not always obvious: The economic momentum has been underestimated since the middle of last year, analysts are currently gradually moving away from their gloomy forecasts. In particular, mines in the industrial metals sector have seen lower production and exploration following the pandemic outbreak, resulting in closures. Some have closed following price collapses. Currently, things are going the other way: metals, especially copper and lithium, are in strong demand and are soaring, with the producers' shares following suit. The situation is different with precious metals: The need for hedging is decreasing, the propensity to take risks is increasing: precious metals are thus tending to decline. The overall market follows the general battle cry: RISK-ON!

Barrick Gold, Blackrock Gold, AngloGold Ashanti: Gold shares for every type of investor
Whenever central banks and governments open the money floodgates, it's a positive signal for the gold price. After the initial reactions to the pandemic in March and April, the prices of gold companies went steeply upwards. Shares of many smaller companies in particular multiplied between April and August. Since then, the market has entered a consolidation phase. This phase could be an opportunity for investors - after all, the prices of gold shares, in particular, have fallen back, in some cases, significantly. At the same time, the pandemic is spreading, and governments and central banks are in a certain path dependency: to deny support to the economy now on the home stretch seems unlikely and also counterproductive given the aid already provided. Gold and companies involved in gold production should, therefore continue to have good prospects.

Triumph Gold, Impala Platinum, First Majestic Silver: precious metals for Biden's debt policy!
Economists refer to "asset inflation" as the increase in the price of all assets. What is meant by this is the general increase in the price of all asset investment vehicles such as bonds, shares, precious metals or real estate. We make no secret of it: ALL of the objects as mentioned above are paid with newly created money, the liquidity in the system ensures quasi permanently that assets are practically subject to a permanent and continuous increase in price. Shares, for example, have risen by an average of 9% per year since 2009. Bonds measured by the Bund future are quoted at a 100-year high with negative yields and a rich real negative interest rate, yes, and real estate in good locations has more than tripled in value over the last 20 years. In Munich, for example, the average weighted price per square meter for new residential buildings is around EUR 8,500 (range EUR 5,000-16,000) - in 2000, this was still EUR 2,850. Now we come to the precious metals using gold as an example: the yellow metal cost around USD 400 per ounce in 2005 and is now worth USD 1,875, a plus of 370% in 15 years. Let's take a closer look at the world of precious metals.

Defense Metals, Orocobre, Aurubis – Everyone is a specialist!
Strategic metals are indispensable. They are very rare in the earth's crust and only occur in certain places. For the free economy, there is a procurement problem per se, because, on the one hand, China has the largest reserves, on the other hand, the states intervene in the distribution of the existing quotas. In times of a pandemic, mine closures lead to minor shortages in these metals, but prices are usually negotiated with buyers on a long-term basis. Since the metals usually cannot be procured in alternative ways, it is in everyone's interest to improve the supply situation. But how to procure, if not steal...?
