Gold rush mood at NVIDIA and Desert Gold - Concrete gold share Vonovia crumbling
Stock market darling NVIDIA is behaving bullish again after a moderate decline. Over 50% of NVIDIA's buying comes from S&P500 heavyweights like Microsoft, Google and Amazon. All these companies invest heavily in GPUs to develop AI models. The rising importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the increased use of GPUs in this industry contribute to the increased demand for gold and other commodities used in the manufacture of GPUs. Desert Gold, an exploration and development company in Mali, is benefiting from this trend. Its main project, the SMSZ project, covers 440 sq km and has proven and indicated gold resources of 8.47 million tons with a grade of 1.14 g/t gold. The venerable concrete gold real estate market is currently experiencing severe dislocation. 31% of project development volume in Germany is experiencing delays in residential construction. We look at what investors should do now to protect their portfolios.

Climate revolution hanging by a thread: Siemens Energy, BASF, Manuka Resources
Most people agree that the economy must become climate-neutral. However, despite promising technologies, the path to climate neutrality is not without obstacles. Handelsblatt newspaper now quotes a joint study by three institutes, according to which seven raw materials are needed to master the transformation of the economy. These include graphite, rare earths, nickel, cobalt, iridium, lithium and manganese. The scientific community also recommends that policymakers promote the entire value chains of key technologies. We look at what this means and where investors can look for opportunities.

Changing of the guard in the bull market - Deutsche Bank, TUI and Viva Gold can score!
The valuation on the capital markets has developed quite differently in recent months. The DAX 40 index is currently valued at a P/E ratio of only 12, but this ratio is almost 24 for the growth stocks on the NASDAQ. Some clearly state: "In the DAX, industrial stocks dominate, whereas in the NASDAQ, growth-oriented tech companies prevail." Technology stocks accelerate many times over, even in times of crisis, if the business model fits the times. Nevertheless, they are also subject to interest rate causality, i.e. if refinancing becomes more expensive, the return on equity demanded by investors also increases. In August, the 30-year US bond exceeded the 4.25% yield mark. Historically, this has often signaled a temporary end to the tech bull market. Many second-tier stocks appear to be unjustly neglected. We name three potential beneficiaries of an upward turn in interest rates.

GoviEx, Siemens Energy, Delivery Hero - Which stocks have the greatest growth potential
Seamless energy supply has become a competitive advantage. France, for example, gets 70% of its electricity from uranium. With an outstanding uranium recovery rate of 88% in Zambia, GoviEx supplies the world with this valuable energy source. The Company focuses on the exploration and development of uranium deposits in Africa. Renewables, however, are not quite taking off for them. Siemens Energy is facing significant cost problems in its onshore wind turbine business. Damages to rotor blades and bearings could cost the Company up to EUR 4.5 billion. People always need to eat. Those who prefer ordering food in light of high electricity costs should look at Delivery Hero. Citigroup seems to have better information on the delivery service than current investor sentiment suggests.

BRICS Realigns: Gold, Silver and Bitcoin in Turnaround! Is this the starting signal for TUI, Desert Gold and Adyen?
The acronym BRIC was coined in 2001 by Jim O'Neill, the Chief Economist of the major bank Goldman Sachs. The now frequently used acronym represents the initial letters of the countries Brazil, Russia, India, and China. At the time, it referred to the four fastest-growing emerging economies outside the Western industrial community G7; later, South Africa was added as the "S". At the August meeting of the BRICS countries in South Africa, a further 40 countries registered their interest in joining, 6 of which were admitted directly by January 2024. Thus, a strong community of states is emerging, covering a full 30% of the world's GDP and 46% of the global population. They all share a common goal: to reduce dependence on the US and the US dollar - thereby lessening Western influence. There are even long-term considerations of a shared currency. A wake-up call for Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin.

Strategic turning points in Chemicals, Automotive and Energy: Investment opportunities with Defense Metals, Volkswagen and BASF
Rare earths are becoming increasingly important due to digitalization, especially for the electronics industry. Defense Metals, a company from Canada, is focusing on the extraction of rare earths at the Wicheeda project. Geotechnical investigations are progressing rapidly in order to develop the valuable raw material. Volkswagen reports an impressive 17.9% increase in car sales in July. Nevertheless, the Company is lowering its annual sales forecast due to growing competition in China. Germany's energy transition is affecting major corporations like BASF. The US company Cheniere Energy will supply BASF with liquefied gas in the future. To adapt to the new market conditions, BASF has successfully completed the spin-off of its mobile exhaust catalyst and precious metal services businesses. The new site surprises.

Warning against the Green Illusion! SMA Solar, Saturn Oil + Gas, JinkoSolar
About one-fifth of Germany's gross final energy consumption comes from renewable energies - and the trend is rising. Renewables are also on the rise in the US and China. From an investor's point of view, this naturally suggests itself as an investment. Renewable energy is climate-neutral, cost-effective, and politically supported. Despite these apparent advantages, some pitfalls still surround this presumed self-propelling sector. We shed light on why sustainably-minded investors do not need to shy away from fossil energy sources and why certain challenges exist within the Green Illusion.

Plug Power, Almonty Industries, JinkoSolar - Will the doubler come after the Crisis?
Currently, there are several hotspots of crisis around the world. There is the war between Russia and Ukraine, the efforts of the BRICS countries to free themselves from the supremacy of the US dollar, and the smoldering dispute between the US and China. Relations between the latter have deteriorated in recent years, partly because the US fears growing Chinese influence. However, the BRICS nations are blessed with raw materials that the West desperately needs. The list of critical metals is long. This is also true for Europe, which has had an energy problem above all since the Ukraine conflict. Efforts are being made to solve this. We have picked out one company from each of the various focal points.

The IAA is just around the corner, and e-mobility is faltering - Where is the super battery? BYD, Tesla, Varta and First Phosphate in focus
Professor Ferdinand Dudenhöffer sees electric mobility on the decline. Despite the EU's ban on internal combustion engines from 2035, the switch to electric drive will take even longer than expected. In a recent interview, he sees the declining subsidies as of September 1 of this year as a possible showstopper. The reason: most purchases of e-vehicles are tax-motivated, and the increased interest rates have made expensive electric cars less competitive in leasing models. In addition, there are the technical limitations in safety, range and operating time compared to the mature, fuel-efficient combustion vehicles. So the challenge is to invent clean, efficient and safe battery technology. Where are the opportunities in this highly dynamic industry?

AI hype soon over? Deutsche Bank, NVIDIA, Globex Mining
In September 2022, NVIDIA and Deutsche Bank announced an innovation partnership focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI). The goal: to enhance and secure financial services. A lot has happened since last year's announcement. AI is seen as a productivity booster and "the next big thing." The prices of shares such as NVIDIA have also multiplied since then. This even makes partner Deutsche Bank uneasy. We highlight risks and show alternatives.
