First Majestic Silver, Blackrock Silver, Xiaomi - Is the silver price about to rise again?
Silver significantly outperformed gold from September into February. In 2022, silver demand set a new record of 1.24 billion ounces at an average price of USD 21.70. This year, the Silver Institute projects an average price of USD 23. Increased interest rates mean investing in precious metals is less attractive. If the interest rate policy of the FED changes, which is expected for the second half of the year, silver should also increase significantly again. Especially since industrial demand is growing due to the expansion of renewable energies and the electronics industry cannot do without silver, to name just two sectors. We, therefore, take a look at three companies around silver.

Cameco, GoviEx Uranium, Fission Uranium - Elemental energy source
With the exception of Germany, the world's largest industrialized nations are focusing on expanding nuclear energy to achieve the climate targets they have set. However, due to the Ukraine conflict and possible sanctions against Russia, growing demand has been met with limited supply. The US alone obtains almost half of the uranium it needs from state-owned companies in Russia or Kazakhstan. But rising demand is meeting a supply that is too tight. The primary beneficiaries here are Western companies in production or close to it.

Plug Power and Nordex disappoint, and a milestone for Manuka Resources
The shift to renewable energy is being accelerated significantly by policymakers and industry, but companies continue to struggle to meet their plan targets. Nevertheless, the market outlook is optimistic that the transformation to alternative energy will continue to gain momentum. One of the cost drivers is the high cost of raw materials, which has increased significantly again due to the sanctions against Russia. Manuka Resources is still a young player in the market that could significantly cushion the shortages of the critical raw material vanadium, which is needed for energy storage systems.

Tocvan Ventures, JinkoSolar, Commerzbank - With gold and silver towards a real energy turnaround
Gold and silver prices will continue to rise in 2023, as a weaker US dollar and loose monetary policy should drive precious metals higher. There is great joy at Tocvan Ventures in light of the latest drilling results. The team expects the Pilar area to produce similar results to other miners in the region. Precious metals are finding great sales in the solar industry. Investors will learn today the business results of solar panel manufacturer JinkoSolar. The Chinese company has recently been allowed to export to the US again. Commerzbank has to cope with a touch of greenwashing; a district court made a momentous judgement for a subsidiary.

Running out of fuel? BYD, Porsche, VW, Globex Mining - Metals in demand!
In benchmarking, anyone who sees electromobility at the forefront cannot ignore a powerful battery. In the last 3 years, there have been no real leaps forward in development, but at least power compression in lithium-ion technology achieved a doubling of the range and, in parallel, also lowered the previously long charging times. This made an electric vehicle suitable for long-distance travel for the first time, even though faster discharge must be expected in winter due to non-engine services such as heating. But technological development continues, and BYD, as one of the world market leaders, sets technological standards. Which stocks are the favourites in the sector?

TUI, Saturn Oil + Gas, Plug Power - Three shares with doubling potential
Finding shares with doubling potential requires a thorough analysis. On the one hand, the company's sector should have growth potential. If the sector is innovative, that also speaks in favour of the share. Then, a look at the competitors is important to see if the company is well positioned. If both factors fit, one should take a closer look at the candidate's finances. If you can tick off several items on this checklist, it is worth taking a closer look at the chart technique. Today we look at three candidates that have what it takes to double their share prices, at least in the long term.

Banks have a problem: Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, Desert Gold
Bank shares have done well in recent months - the turnaround in interest rates has been good for many institutions. In the meantime, more and more analysts are giving banks the thumbs up. But what if currencies like the euro or the dollar lose influence? We shed light on secret trends emanating from Asian central banks, which at least argue for not investing all funds in traditional currencies.

Nel share slumps, a 60% chance with Bayer, Almonty Industries and BASF
The Nel share was one of the big daily losers yesterday. As a result, the upward trend has finally been broken, and analysts' opinions differ widely. Berenberg sees the BASF share as a hold after the publication of the quarterly figures. The price target is EUR 55. The figures are in line with expectations. However, the end of share buybacks and concerns about future competitiveness weigh on the stock. By contrast, analysts see up to 60% upside potential for Bayer. Almonty Industries is benefiting from the boom in electromobility and also defense spending. As the leading tungsten producer outside China, analysts suspect it could soon come to a bidding war.

Please turn on the power! Myriad Uranium, RWE, E.ON, Uniper, ThyssenKrupp - Renewable energy plus nuclear power is the green future!
Unfortunately, the green policy from Berlin and Brussels has not been thought through to the end. Because if mobility is to be converted entirely to electricity, it will require significantly more energy than is available today. Land consumption in Germany has increased dramatically as a result of alternative energy generation from wind and solar power. In the medium term, therefore, a further push for these energy sources will lead to a declining standard of living and less nature. Nuclear energy is a discontinued model - apparently only in Germany. It is a good thing that our neighbours France and the Czech Republic are happy to let us connect to their grids. However, this has its price and means the same risk profile for Germany as if the reactors were located here. Which stocks fit into the European energy landscape?
