Explosive data revolution: Desert Gold Ventures, Palantir and PayPal in billion-dollar business
Smart data analytics enables companies like Desert Gold Ventures to calculate their drill targets more accurately. With experienced board member Doug Engdahl, the team gains an expert who will give the company time-saving advantages. The commissioning of US company Palantir by the NHS to create a data repository for COVID-19-related data and analytics raises questions. Initiatives like Foxglove are campaigning for proper procurement to minimize the risk of surveillance and restriction of civil liberties. Intelligent financial service providers like PayPal are creating new business opportunities from unhealthy user behaviour. PayPal's attractive "Buy Now, Pay Later" offering has led to a global credit debt of EUR 18.1 billion. It is time for PayPal to get that money back with powerful partner KKR by its side.

Solar and wind instead of oil and gas - Shell, Saturn Oil + Gas, Lanxess: Germany focuses on decarbonization!
International energy policy is more disparate than ever. While the US, Canada, China, India, South America and Russia focus on exploiting their abundant fossil reserves, resource-poor countries like Germany and select European states are embracing renewable energies. This decision results from an existing shortage or is imposed in the EU alliance, but it fits argumentatively into the picture of rapid decarbonization, a main line of European policy. As a reminder, planet Earth is home to almost 8 billion people, while Europe has only about 700 million inhabitants. With 8.7% of the world's weight, activist climate policy is being pursued in this country. While the goals are laudable, the overall effect of the efforts is rather negligible. But the consequences for Europe's historically built-up prosperity will be considerable. What is important for investors to consider?

Isolation and e-car crash - A new China shock for markets? BASF, NIO, Power Nickel
It was a profit warning with a signal effect: Lanxess shares plunged on Tuesday after a gloomy outlook. The BASF share also came under pressure as a result. Once again, developments around China are causing concern. While the major economies are increasingly isolating themselves and relying on autarky and protectionism, the collateral damage is increasing. But there are also profiteers. We shed light on the opportunities and risks.

First Phosphate, Mercedes-Benz, BYD - 1,500 km range through battery revolution
Until now, solid-state batteries were considered too expensive for electric mobility and could be recharged much less often than today's lithium-ion batteries. Now, thanks to a new technology, car manufacturer Toyota has developed a battery that can be recharged within 10 minutes and has a range of up to 1,500 km. This instantly puts Toyota's electric vehicles in the spotlight. Until now, the Company has been a niche player in the electric car market and has been more successful with hybrid vehicles. Today we look at First Phosphate, which aims to supply phosphate for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, and we finish by looking at two car manufacturers.

After Lanxess shock, now time to invest in gold? Barrick, Manuka Resources, Evonik
Now into gold shares? The recent profit warnings from the chemical sector should not be underestimated. After all, chemicals are an important early indicator of a possible recession. Lanxess recently shocked the stock market with a profit warning. Before that, the British specialty chemicals producer Croda, among others, had already issued a warning. Are BASF and Evonik the next spoilsports? Analysts are becoming increasingly sceptical, and share price targets are plummeting. A recession would catch many investors off guard. Therefore, gold shares are worth a look again. Heavyweight Barrick is ailing on the chart but remains a solid investment. Manuka Resources has an interesting story. Investors are in for an exciting few months.

A lot of movement can be expected here: Covestro, Globex Mining, and Nikola - The focus is on 100% returns!
Greentech is politically promoted and booming. Many stocks are traded on the stock market with this fantasy. But what is really technologically feasible? Those seeking to switch from fossil energy to electric forms often overlook the sometimes poor efficiency in converting fossil primary energy sources to electricity from the socket. Truly green solutions are defined per se by applications that improve the overall energy balance of the goods moved or even achieve a net-zero impact. Access to cheap raw materials, especially high-tech metals, is a prerequisite for all endeavours. We look forward to interesting price movements in the sector.

Financial System 3.0 saved? Deutsche Bank, Defiance Silver and Nvidia - Artificial Intelligence conquers the banking world!
We cannot help but feel a little uneasy when we see the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence, even as mere users, as demonstrated, for example, by ChatGPT. However, Big Data and related analysis tools have been used by large IT companies for years and accompany our daily lives in the background. Currently, the behaviour of financial institutions and the actions of central banks are of particular interest. They must pull out all the stops to smooth out the distortions caused by inflation, war and the interest rate explosion. A tried and tested means in the past was the creation of liquidity, but that is no longer working. Where do the opportunities for investors lie?

Deutsche Telekom, Saturn Oil + Gas, TUI - Which share has the most potential?
On June 14, all eyes were on the FED decision. Even though the decision impacts the market as a whole, the analysis of individual stocks is important to make sound investment decisions. The approach can vary, from a fundamental analysis to a technical analysis, a ratio-based decision to a qualitative analysis. In addition, one can take into account the recommendations of financial analysts. In the end, it is important to conduct one's own research and only invest when convinced about a stock. Today we look at three companies and analyze their potential in more detail.

Hydrogen picks up - Where profits lurk: ThyssenKrupp, JinkoSolar, Manuka Resources
The hydrogen business is picking up speed worldwide. ThyssenKrupp plans to float its hydrogen subsidiary Nucera on the stock market before the summer break. This announcement is positive for the entire industry, as it indicates that ThyssenKrupp and the banks involved think the market is stable enough to get a reasonable price for shares in Nucera. We look at what is behind the IPO, which Greentech stocks are still interesting and which niche investors can profit disproportionately.
