Currency crash? Here's what opportunities look like! Barrick Gold, Globex Mining, PayPal
Those who bet on gold at the beginning of 2022 are sitting on single-digit losses today. The setbacks are more pronounced for classic stocks. Even blue chips have generally lost double digits. So in relative terms, gold has done very well - especially against perceived competition from the crypto camp. We present opportunities for investors to invest around alternative currencies now.

Manuka, BYD, AMD - These companies stand for sustainable, strategically planned growth
With a share of 4.7%, iron is the tenth most common element in our universe and one of the most common on our planet. In industry, the raw material is in hot demand. The Australian Company Manuka has recognized this and acquired a strategically valuable project, which can profitably supply the explorer for the next 20 years. One customer for iron is the automotive industry. BYD will start selling its cars in Germany and Sweden this year. In contrast to the competition from VW and Volvo, the Chinese carmaker has installed enough semiconductors in its mobiles. AMD is also benefiting from this. The chipmaker saw sales growth in its embedded division, which includes semiconductors for cars. AMD's earnings call for the quarter showed a clear trend of where the growth is happening...

Alpha Copper, Nordex, Volkswagen - Has the copper price found its bottom?
On July 15, the copper price briefly traded below USD 7,000 per ton. Since then, the price has risen strongly again to over USD 7,800 per ton. Copper has the reputation of being a leading indicator for the economy, as the metal is used in almost all industrial sectors and electrical products. Fears of a recession have been present in the markets for some time, driven by inflation and recently rising interest rates. Added to this is the zero-Covid policy of the Chinese, which leads to falling demand from commodity-hungry China. The latest statements by FED Chairman Jerome Powell give the markets hope that the worst is over. The copper price so far confirms this view.

Tech stocks: BASF, Almonty Industries, JinkoSolar, Meyer Burger - Important materials for climate change!
The energy crisis evokes in us consumers a whole new behavior, which we had almost forgotten due to the abundance of the last decades: Save energy! Undeterred by the preliminary results, Economics Minister Robert Habeck is pleased to report that four weeks after the public appeal, a wave of "joining in" has actually taken off. Private households have already reduced their gas consumption by 14%, and electricity consumption has sunk noticeably. All good, the inclined listener would formulate, but from a purely economic point of view, saving is contractive and leads to less growth in all areas. For fear of the future, Germans save not only on hot water and electricity but also at the store checkout. The consequence is a recession, or let's call it in more friendly terms: the return to normality! Here are a few investment suggestions.

How much lithium do BYD, VW, Tesla and Co. need? Standard Lithium, Edison Lithium - Who can deliver quickly?
Parallel to the electric car boom, many raw material prices have also exploded. Lithium has risen 1200% in price in Chinese yuan since the beginning of 2021, and nickel has risen by 40%. Against the backdrop of continued high global demand for e-vehicles, many high-performance batteries will be needed. As a result, just about every automaker is planning with its own specifications on how to handle battery procurement. BYD, VW, Daimler and Tesla already have their gigafactories or are currently planning them. Lithium is one of a battery's most important raw material components, along with nickel, cobalt, graphite and copper. However, the quantities available on the markets are limited, as producers are also still thin on the ground. We shed light on a market that is determined by shortages.

New opportunities at Aspermont, Palantir and Rheinmetall
After months of losses in technology stocks, there are signs of a recovery. The opportunities are lucrative in the long term. Market leaders have lost disproportionately since the beginning of the year due to fears of further interest rate hikes. The question is how far the monetary authorities will continue to turn the interest rate screw so as not to stifle economic growth altogether. If, on the other hand, the monetary policy were to become even looser again, the door would be opened to a further technology boom.

Barrick Gold, Tocvan Ventures, Newmont - Gold stocks facing a renaissance?
The strong dollar has weighed on the gold price in recent weeks. However, the strength of the US dollar is rather a weakness of the euro. While the FED raised interest rates to fight inflation, the ECB hesitated. While the ECB recently raised interest rates by 50 basis points, it was 75 in the US. In addition, the energy crisis in Europe, especially Germany, is putting additional pressure on the euro. For US exports, this is not good news. Therefore, the markets gratefully accepted Jerome Powell's statements. The chairman of the FED wants to slow down the pace of interest rate increases. The gold price also jumped in response. We look at three companies that should benefit from a rising gold price.

Erin Ventures, Uniper, BASF - How business continues to grow outside Germany
Old hands in the market like BASF are in a strong transformation process. Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine has put the energy supply from gas on the line. But global players like the Ludwigshafen-based company already have a plan B, to the delight of shareholders. The situation is very different at Uniper AG. Here, the great dependence on Russian gas supplies and the expensive world market contracts that the Company had to conclude brought Germany's largest gas supplier to the brink of bankruptcy in recent weeks. The German government is spending EUR 15 billion to keep the Company afloat. At the taxpayer's expense. Erin Ventures shows where it is really worth investing now with the Element Boron.

Inflation, gold and silver - The pot is bubbling: Barrick Gold, Manuka Resources, First Majestic, Standard Lithium
The set-up for rising precious metals could not be better at the moment. Due to the enormous price surges for energy and technical equipment, the operating costs of mines are increasing, and exploration is also becoming more expensive. In the medium term, this should lead to declining production in the precious metals sector, especially since prices have been falling significantly for some time. However, physical availability is not given at the low spot prices, as an ounce of silver is currently still traded between EUR 23 and EUR 28. The converted spot price would be around EUR 19. We have interesting commodity stocks in focus.
