Bank quake? Time to think outside the box! Commerzbank, Manuka Resources, Deutsche Bank
What a week! Eight days ago, we mentioned Credit Suisse as the supposed crisis bank and speculated: "It is quite possible that there will be a consolidation of the industry in the next few weeks and that problem banks will be taken over by market competitors." You know the result. But what does this mean for investors? We think one step further!

Goodbye banks - the Greentech rally is on: Shares of BYD, Canadian North, Mercedes Group and BMW are in focus!
Blunt, clear text - that is what the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had promised, in case governments still did not get it. The latest "State of the World Report" is clear. Hesitation is a thing of the past. The message: action is needed now and must be taken worldwide. This is the conclusion of the so-called synthesis report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which was presented yesterday in Interlaken, Switzerland. Leading scientists have spent the past week wrestling with more than 650 government representatives to lay things out as transparently as possible. The conclusion is quickly formulated: Full throttle for the Greentech industry!

BYD, Defense Metals, JinkoSolar - Energy transition reloaded! This is what matters now
If you order a new photovoltaic system today, you cannot avoid products from China. Even German brands often work with Chinese partners and benefit from local technology at favorable prices. But the energy transition is facing a turning point: The gap between East and West is getting deeper and deeper. We look at what this means for companies in the sector and where opportunities could arise.

Interest roller coaster! This is how you profit! K+S, Saturn Oil + Gas, Deutsche Telekom
Interest rates will remain high for longer - that was the expectation last week. After two bank failures, interest rate expectations have recently collapsed. Some investors in the USA are expecting the first interest rate cuts as early as June. Whether these scenarios are set in stone and what they mean for investors - we provide an analysis using three stocks as examples.

Deutsche Bank, Desert Gold, Commerzbank - Back to the safe haven
The willingness of investors to take risks increased in recent months despite further interest rate fears and geopolitical uncertainties, but this was abruptly interrupted by the surprising bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank. While some banking and financial stocks were dragged down by double digits, the precious metals gold and silver, as well as the cryptocurrencies, celebrated a comeback after a correction lasting several weeks. The next upward wave may have begun, especially in the precious yellow metal, with the climbing of new highs.

JinkoSolar, Manuka Resources, BYD - Vanadium raw material as an insider tip
China and Russia are the two leading vanadium producers, with the Middle Kingdom producing 70,000 tons in 2022, more than 4 times as much vanadium as Russia. South Africa came in 3rd place with 3,000 tons. As a result, the metal has made it onto the list of critical raw materials in the US and Europe. In addition to common applications in steel production, catalysts and aerospace, the raw material is now coming into focus because of new vanadium redox batteries that can be used as energy storage devices and have a longer lifespan. The batteries are scalable, safer, and more environmentally friendly and can thus contribute to the energy transition. Commercialization is already starting, but vanadium is scarce.

Nordex, First Phosphate, ThyssenKrupp - Top news on the energy transition
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has a vision. By 2045 the Federal Republic of Germany is to operate on a climate-neutral basis. However, this will require even greater investment in renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. An average of four to five onshore wind turbines are to be built every day. Further investments in infrastructure are also planned concerning electromobility. Once again, an ambitious plan by the traffic light government.

Bank failure and new heaters! Nordex, Defense Metals, JinkoSolar - Greentech shares in the focus of investors
German Economics Minister Habeck wants to stick to his controversial plans to ban the installation of new oil and gas heating systems from 2024. In press releases, he describes the "heat turnaround" as mandatory. However, criticism of the plan is getting louder rather than quieter. What other countries do not even discuss is to be implemented here as quickly as possible due to a lack of fossil raw materials. The government in Berlin is worried about the climate targets set by law and still believes in the prosperity-securing transformation of the German economy and private households. The financing side of these projects is being forgotten because not everyone will be able to afford the purchases. FDP parliamentary group leader Dürr sent Habeck's plans back to the "assembly hall" for the time being on the talk show "Anne Will" because of various construction defects. The crux of the matter is energy availability, which is crucial for a green transformation. Which values now belong in the portfolio?

Great opportunities, low risk: Vonovia, Canadian North Resources, Rheinmetall
Nervousness is back! Investors worldwide fear a new banking quake, and not just since the SVB settlement in the US. But the situation is anything but clear-cut in other respects as well: surprisingly good economic data and recalcitrant inflation could cause interest rates to rise further - and trigger renewed turmoil. We highlight three safe bets from yesterday and today and explain where an investment might still be worthwhile.

Armaments and e-mobility! Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Mercedes-Benz - Rare raw materials in demand as never before!
The climate and energy transition are taking their toll. Long approval phases, too little exploration and a lack of investment capital have caused the supply of raw materials to decline over the past 10 years. These deficits are increasingly showing up as a problem for industry. In copper alone, there is a USD 100 billion investment deficit. In the EU, it is estimated that there is an investment backlog of EUR 300 billion to even come close to achieving the proclaimed climate targets. To reach climate targets, copper, nickel, lithium, zinc, special metals like tungsten, and rare earths are needed. Which values should you bet on now?
