Germany - Car Country? The exodus begins: Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, First Phosphate
Cars still play a significant role in Germany. Many households have two vehicles, some even more. However, sales of new cars have weakened recently - the question of whether to buy a combustion engine or an electric vehicle, along with inflation, have deterred many buyers. German brand manufacturers are now being attracted to the US. There, they are enticed by subsidies and an intact market. Find out what the latest plans of Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and others entail and which relatively unknown company could benefit.

Attention: Extended correction - Buy the right stocks now! Bayer, Viva Gold, TUI, and BASF are on the list!
Higher inflation and rising interest rates - this connection should be clear to investors. The interest rate level in Germany has moved from negative territory to 2.77% in the 10-year range, but stocks continued to rise cheerfully. The party led to all-time highs of 16,528 points in July, but the fundamental situation of the companies deteriorated in parallel. Only after repeated warnings from the US Federal Reserve did the explosive NASDAQ also enter a correction. And it continues. Yesterday, the CEO of US investment bank JPMorgan, Dimon, warned that the world may not be prepared for 7% capital market interest rates. He and Dr. Jens Erhardt, the CEO of the asset management company DJE, warn of stronger setbacks on the stock markets. Some stocks have already undergone a strong correction. Here is a brief overview.

Nordex, Power Nickel, Verbio - On the verge of a Breakthrough
Both politics and business are taking significant risks in their efforts to achieve climate goals. Fossil fuels are to be replaced by alternative energy sources as quickly as possible. In turn, the consumption of metallic raw materials is increasing to build renewable, energy-efficient systems. As Western countries increasingly strive to become independent of imports from Russia or China, domestic producers of critical raw materials, in particular, are likely to emerge as long-term winners.

BYD unstoppable. Sell Varta shares? 200% with Almonty Industries?
Electromobility and the energy transition offer numerous investment opportunities along the value chain. Take BYD, for example. The Chinese company is increasingly becoming the e-car market leader. Could they soon even dethrone Tesla? That should make the stock interesting. And what about Varta? The battery manufacturer disappointed investors last year. Is the stock attractive now? Analysts continue to take a critical view of the Company. Almonty Industries is a different story. After the latest half-year figures, the experts at Sphene Capital advise buying. From 2024, sales and profits of the tungsten producer are expected to grow strongly. According to the analysts, the share could triple.

Nikola, Saturn Oil + Gas, BASF - A Buy in difficult times?
These are challenging times on the stock market. Central banks have not announced the end of interest rate hikes, which is poison for growth companies. In addition, extreme weather conditions are affecting the production of some companies, and there are geopolitical tensions to consider, including the ongoing Ukraine conflict and the simmering dispute between the US and China. Recently, there have also been tensions between China and Germany. Following critical statements by Foreign Minister Baerbock to China's Xi Jinping, the German ambassador was summoned. Energy shortages are becoming increasingly significant for many companies in Germany. Today, we look at three companies suffering from the problems described.

The high-tech gold rush on the Nasdaq is waning: BYD, Manuka Resources, and Infineon remain on the buy list
For those investing in green or high-tech sectors, keeping an eye on the supply chains of raw materials is crucial. After all, in times of geopolitical upheaval, nothing seems more important to the industry than securing its foreign sources of critical resources.

For the capital markets, too, the fight against global warming has become an issue that cannot be ignored. We focus on successful protagonists that can enhance any portfolio.

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?

Make a return instead of sitting on the sidelines! Nel ASA, Desert Gold or Nikola Motors - Who belongs on the buy list?
Despite the bull market, the hydrogen sector is feeling the global investment slump, not to mention precious metals. Once again, the US Federal Reserve has issued warnings on the inflation front, but this time, after 11 consecutive hikes, it has not turned the interest rate screw. The refinancing rate remains at 5.5%, but the accompanying wording has greatly unsettled the markets. Capital market rates shot up, reaching a whopping 4.55% for 30-year US Treasury bonds - the highest level in 10 years. We take a look at values that have fallen sharply. Where can adequate yields be expected?

RWE, GoviEx Uranium, Plug Power - Profits with tomorrow's energy
Nuclear power has long been a controversial source of energy. However, if one wants to produce energy in a carbon-neutral way, nuclear power plants are part of the solution. Uranium is needed to operate them, and its price has recently increased significantly. It is no wonder, as there are 61 power plants in planning and 57 under construction worldwide. While some countries, such as France and China, rely heavily on nuclear power, Germany has decided to phase it out. Since then, Germany has had to import electricity, as renewable energies are not yet capable of meeting the base load. To do this, storing surplus energy would have to be possible. The solution could be green hydrogen. Therefore, we look at an energy supplier, a future uranium producer and a producer of green hydrogen.
