The problem solvers: Plug Power, BioNTech, Almonty Industries
Rarely have there been as many global crises and challenges as there are right now. In addition to the war in Ukraine, there is Corona, an arguably inevitable recession, and the energy crisis - not to mention long-standing challenges such as the fight against cancer and climate change. Companies want to help solve these problems, and BioNTech is one of these companies. The Wiesbaden-based Company was not only successful in the fight against COVID-19. They are currently taking on cancer. And the CEO has recently been very positive. Almonty Industries wants to help reduce dependence on raw materials from China and Russia, and one Company has already given it long-term purchase guarantees. And Plug Power wants to help solve the energy crisis and fight climate change. The recent numbers have disappointed, but analysts see upside potential. We look at the current performance of the three problem solvers.

Almonty Industries, Mercedes-Benz, Amazon - Strong raw materials for profitable cloud technology
To ensure that logistics and supply chains are better protected against failures in the future, the Mercedes-Benz Group is relying on a strong partner for the internal cloud: Microsoft. Through global networking, potential supply bottlenecks are to be identified and cushioned at an early stage. The rapidly increasing demand for semiconductor and battery technology is bringing companies like Almonty Industries into focus. In the raw materials sector, the Company has specialized in tungsten mining in geopolitically secure areas such as South Korea. The metal tungsten is a key element for the computer and automotive industry. Top dog Amazon is also increasingly relying on its cash cow AWS. While the e-commerce business is being pushed by marketing campaigns, the Group is developing smart processors for its cloud business.

Geely, Kodiak Copper, Aston Martin Lagonda - Copper with the next chance
If investors had followed the sensitive early economic indicator, they would have been spared a loss of almost 25% in the DAX alone. Because already at the beginning of March, the copper price showed the first signs of fatigue after climbing to a new all-time high of USD 10,813.36 per ton. Almost half a year later, the red metal is not only trading more than 20% lower, but the recession has already arrived globally. However, despite the economic downturn, global demand for the red metal far exceeds supply. Due to the upgrading of renewable energies, the gap is likely to widen even further in the next few years, which argues for a rising base price in the long term.

BYD, Infinity Stone Ventures, Rock Tech Lithium - Electromobility with rapid growth ahead
The IEA (International Energy Agency) has recently issued forecasts for the growth of electromobility up to 2030. While only about 10% of all vehicles were electric in 2021, this figure is expected to rise to at least 60% by 2030. That would significantly reduce emissions, but the energy transition requires raw materials from copper to cobalt to lithium, which is essential for the production of batteries for e-cars. S&P Global has calculated that even if all existing lithium projects were to go into production, there would still be a supply deficit of 220,000 to 2 million tons in 2030. Reason enough to take a closer look at three companies based on the sector.

Nordex, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall - Critical situation
Due to geopolitical tensions and the ongoing trade war between the US and China, the supply of critical raw materials is on high alert. Especially for the energy transition and the achievement of climate targets, materials that mostly have to be exported from the largest Asian economy are needed. Now, with the Minerals Security Partnership, MSP, an alliance of Western countries has been founded to establish a complete value chain within the partner countries. As a result, mining, processing and recycling projects from Western countries will be the primary beneficiaries in the coming years.

Stocks on a roller coaster ride, pay particular attention here: BYD, Manuka Resources, Porsche, VW
Currently, there are few highlights to report from the stock market. However, the mega-deal for 100,000 e-vehicles between BYD and Sixt is worth mentioning. The successful IPO of Porsche AG was also quite exciting, and for VW, it is an important strengthening of liquid funds for the transformation process towards e-mobility. In addition to inflation figures of just under 10%, we are also seeing significant markdowns in the Bund futures. Interest rates continue to rise, and a wake-up call for precious metals is spreading. Here are a few ideas.

Where stable percentages beckon: Shell, Saturn Oil + Gas, Deutsche Bank
Time in the market beats timing in the market. There is a lot of truth in this stock market adage. Anyone who started saving for an ETF ten years ago outshone self-proclaimed stock pickers for a long time - and without any stress or transaction costs. But right now, ETFs are no longer the way to go. Instead of relying on the "watering can" principle, investors should act in a targeted manner. We present three stocks that, at first glance, combine security and opportunity and do a reality check. What can Shell, Saturn Oil & Gas and Deutsche Bank do?

First Majestic, Manuka Resources, Barrick Gold - Has the bottom been reached?
Fighting inflation at all costs is the motto of the various central bank members in the US at the moment. Despite recession worries in the financial markets, the FED is determined to curb inflation with a tight interest rate policy. The fact that this has already gotten out of hand and is difficult to contain by further interest rate steps without driving the economy to ruin should be obvious, not only to economists. The first voices calling for an end to interest rate hikes are already being heard. This could mean the starting signal for a sustained upward wave of the precious metals.

Strong rebound in gold: Varta, TUI, Desert Gold - Is it already buying time for these shares?
Despite all the gloom, the capital market offers plenty of opportunities every day. The Varta shares experienced a crash of over 80% in only 12 months but could also swing up by 15% within 1 week. Such movements are part of a revaluation that many stocks are now undergoing. The experienced investor is not bothered by this because, fortunately, there are upward exaggerations as well as downward ones, and both provide buying opportunities. The only question that remains is whether the level reached could already be down. Fundamental analysis helps here, but chart technology also provides valuable clues for timing. We take a closer look at the following stocks.

Where to bet on the comeback now? Amazon, Tocvan Ventures, BYD
The major stock indices are currently in comeback mode. Commodities are also picking up again. There are many reasons for this: First, the markets have already anticipated much of the negative. At the same time, there are signs of hope. In Europe, for example, gas prices are falling, and meteorologists are predicting good conditions for a mild winter. Even if the forecasting power of meteorologists beyond the weekly horizon should not be overestimated, there is justified comeback potential on the market. We take a look at three stocks.
