K+S, Saturn Oil + Gas, Salzgitter AG - Growth market for raw materials
The specter of inflation has been growing since the outbreak of the Corona pandemic and the unlimited money printing by central banks. According to the minutes of the monetary authorities, inflation was only temporary. But far from it, inflation will remain permanent and hit even harder than feared. Support is also coming from the sanctions imposed against Russia. As a result, the supply of oil, gas and many other commodities is becoming tighter, and prices are skyrocketing. And do not take the word of a central banker again who wants to explain to you that this time inflation is only temporary.

K+S, Ximen Mining, BP - The trend continues
The commodity markets are bullish across the board. Sanctions, supply bottlenecks, and demand that is increasingly exceeding supply can be observed in many areas. Precious metals play a unique role as a crisis currency. What is negative for consumers and demanders is a profit booster for commodity producers - rising prices. These companies should be among the beneficiaries. Who will be ahead at the end of the year?

Next oil crisis? Shell, Globex Mining, Glencore, Gazprom - Which stocks can deliver?
Ongoing armed conflicts in Ukraine may escalate into a global commodity and economic crisis. After all, supply chains have already been severely impacted by the global COVID pandemic. Believing that these irrationalities will eventually be put behind us, Central Europe, in particular, is now threatened with an energy shortage not seen for 50 years. The last oil crisis dates back to 1972/73 when on November 25, 1973, car traffic came to a standstill throughout Germany for the first time. In response to the rising fuel and heating oil prices, the German government had imposed a driving ban on four Sundays under the Energy Conservation Act. Will it come to that again - almost unthinkable today? We take a look at crucial raw material suppliers.

Saturn Oil + Gas, BYD, Bayer - Winning with strong companies
When oil futures were trading in negative territory even for a short time at the outbreak of the Corona pandemic in the spring of 2020, many experts assumed that the black gold would remain at a low level in the long term. Only JPMorgan spoke at that time of a possible supercycle and prices over USD 100 per barrel. The analysts cited the supply shortage due to the swing towards green energy production as the reason. Due to the Ukraine crisis, supply has once again been drastically reduced, which is likely to fuel oil prices in the long term.

Defense Metals, Gazprom, ThyssenKrupp - Winners and losers
A brave Ukrainian woman hunts down a Russian drone - with a well-aimed throw through a jar of pickled tomatoes. For defense, every means is justified. But there is also a more strategic way to invest in companies that supply raw materials for military technology - and without conflict for investors with a sense of justice. The German economy, on the other hand, could be in for a real shock if Gazprom makes good on its threats and shuts down Nord Stream 1 as a result of the sanctions. Germany is one of the biggest buyers of Russian gas. ThyssenKrupp is also benefiting from the current situation. It becomes quite clear what the Group is really gaining from right now.

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - Oil as the winner of the crisis
There are increasing signs that the EU wants to free itself from Russian oil and gas supplies as quickly as possible. Bloomberg writes that they want to cut back supplies by 80% within a year. Other sources report over 66%. If Russia is subject to an oil and gas embargo, there is a risk that commodity prices in these areas will continue to rise significantly. Even the US is currently considering an import ban on Russian oil. Since then, there has been no stopping the oil price. The primary beneficiaries are the oil and gas producers, three of which we are taking a closer look at today.

Plug Power, Hensoldt, Saturn Oil + Gas: Will the price rally continue?
Until recently, it seemed unthinkable, but it has become a reality: the price of Brent oil is trading above USD 110, a multi-year high. The German armed forces are to receive EUR 100 billion in special funds. In addition, according to Chancellor Scholz, NATO's 2% target is to be met in the future. And renewable energies are described by politicians of all parties as strategically important "freedom energies". These drastic developments are currently moving share prices. The value of the defense company Hensoldt has doubled within a few days, and a new major customer beckons. Hydrogen specialist Plug Power has also posted double-digit gains but missed analysts' estimates operationally in 2021. Saturn Oil & Gas shares have not yet benefited from the high oil price. After the successful takeover, the knot could now burst.

Nel ASA, Saturn Oil + Gas, BP - Uncertainty drives prices up
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia with a possible war in Europe is unsettling the stock markets. After a friendly start to the week and a gain of around 100 points, the DAX took a beating. It is now trading well below the 15,000-point mark. By contrast, crude oil is trading at a premium in view of the threat of conflict. There is also positive news from oil producers, which should lead to further price increases.

Shell, Saturn Oil + Gas, Gazprom: Oil price explosion to USD 120?
Oil prices again rose sharply last week and once again reached multi-year highs. Most recently, a barrel of Brent North Sea crude cost USD 92.80. That translates to an increase of approximately USD 13 since the beginning of the year. The price for a barrel of the US variety West Texas Intermediate (WTI) rose to a high of USD 92,20; thus, the spread between the oil variants is again historically low. Both grades rose at times to their highest level since autumn 2014. The triggers for the current bull market are primarily the Ukraine crisis and the cold snap in the US state of Texas. This has fueled concerns about production losses in the Permian Basin, the largest US shale oil deposit. Which oil stocks are now under the spotlight of investors?

Gazprom, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - Profit from rising energy costs
Over the past year, energy costs have skyrocketed and, apart from electricity, there seems to be no end in sight. The traffic light government wants to abolish the EEG levy as early as this summer, thus ensuring that the price of electricity will fall. For oil and gas, things look less favorable. Since the EU has classified gas as climate-friendly, demand will continue to rise. 630 gas suppliers raised their prices by an average of 53% at the beginning of the year. The oil price also continues to climb, although OPEC recently said that it does not want a price of USD 100. However, it is unlikely to be resisted. We look at three oil and gas companies today.
