Barrick Gold, Ximen Mining, First Majestic Silver - Do precious metal stocks belong in the portfolio now?
Crises like the current Ukraine war or the steadily rising inflation are good for precious metals like gold and silver. According to the German Association for Precious Metals, demand for physical precious metals increased by at least 25% in the first three months of this year. Demand had already climbed by 31% last year. But not everyone can store precious metals safely. The alternative is to invest in precious metals companies listed on the stock exchange. We take a closer look at three candidates today.

Barrick Gold, Triumph Gold, Newmont: Here is what matters for Barrick and Co.
The gold price has recovered in recent weeks. The increasingly strong inflationary pressure and the growing nervousness of professional market participants, such as banks, which see increasing pressure on monetary guardians to act in the fight against inflation, may have attracted some investors' attention to the precious metal again. But how can investors invest? Physical holdings involve incidental purchase costs and require a safe deposit box - bank safe deposit boxes are already in short supply at present. Financial products, such as ETCs, are more paper than precious metal and are certainly not suitable for crisis protection in the worst case. That leaves equities. We present three stocks.

Triumph Gold, Barrick Gold, Rheinmetall - Precious metal stocks jump!
Despite persistently high inflation, the US Federal Reserve is still far from thinking about interest rate hikes. At least in the stimulus bond purchases, however, the central bankers will step on the brakes a little and, as of November, reduce the volume of currently USD 120 billion monthly by USD 10 billion each. The program will then end completely in the fall of 2022. In the wake of this decision, prices for precious metals rose. Gold rose above the important resistance of USD 1,800.

Newmont, Tembo Gold, First Majestic - The inflation bubble is filling up!
With the current climate debate and the parallel GreenTech hype, the development of precious metals is being ignored and left aside. Investment flows are going into the strong momentum stocks from the tech sectors, and gold and silver keep ending up on the sell lists after minor recovery attempts. The Federal Reserve is worried about dealing with the latest inflation data; after all, the economy is still laboring from broken supply chains and blocked sea routes. There will not be much growth in 2021 either, which does not seem to bother the stock markets. After all, shareholders like to hear the magic word "inflation," as it promises higher nominal profits and historically high asset prices. But the topic of gold and silver will come, so today, we look at interesting mining stocks.

Barrick Gold, Central African Gold, Gazprom - Gold becomes a fireball!
The development of gold follows the inflation trend in our economies in the last 25 years. Before the turn of the millennium, the ounce was still below USD 200. Due to the real estate bubble after the dot-com boom and the devastating effects of the US subprime crisis, the precious metal reached its temporary peak in 2011 at USD 1,950. At that time, the ECB tried to prevent the collapse of Greece with emergency loans. With the deployment of EUR 336 billion, this European rescue experiment succeeded for the time being, but the gold price then lost value again in the following years until 2015, down to USD 1,120. Last year, there was then a new attempt in the direction of north. In May, the precious metal reached USD 2,050 - a plus of USD 600 since the Corona Crisis. Where does the metal go from here?

Deutsche Bank, Silver Viper, Hypoport - Back on track
The flood of figures continues unabated. The technology giant Microsoft exceeded all expectations and outperformed sales by 22% compared to the same period last year due to the trend towards hybrid working. Google's parent Company Alphabet also posted a substantial increase in profits. The figures of various financial companies were also surprisingly strong. Due to the underperformance in recent years, there is clear rebound potential for many.

First Majestic, Silver Viper, Barrick Gold - Best prospects for precious metals
For the first time since December 1993, the inflation rate in Germany reached a value of over 4%. In the USA, too, the rate rose to 5.4%, although economists had actually expected it to fall. Nevertheless, the central banks are currently making no attempt to counter inflation by raising key interest rates. No one wants to jeopardize the tender little plant of the economy after the disastrous Corona year. Surprisingly at first glance, prices for precious metals as a "crisis currency" are not rising to the extent that would be expected. But there are clear signs that demand will increase strongly.
