Chancellor election 2025 - now it is getting exciting! Explosive news at Palantir, D-Wave, European Lithium, and SAP
Germany has voted. With 28% of the vote, the CDU leaves the field as the winner. However, difficult coalition talks will now follow. Those expecting a lot of "change" may still be disappointed because many urgent topics do not seem urgent enough yet. How the CDU will proceed with the blocking parties will become an exciting topic in the coming weeks. The stock market experienced a slight dip on Friday, indicating that investors, accustomed to a bull market, are shifting to the safe side before the election results are clear. After all, as of Friday, around 30% of eligible voters were still undecided. Some stocks should be on the radar, as significant movements are expected.

DAX makes a decent correction – Gold sets its sights on the USD 3,000 mark! Caution advised with Palantir, Barrick, Desert Gold, Lufthansa, and TUI
After weeks of gains, the DAX 40 index saw its first noticeable correction yesterday. It rose to 22,935 in the morning, but by the evening, it had fallen to just 22,450. Hardly anyone had considered that the one-way street of rising valuations would eventually come to an end. Will the correction continue and perhaps go really deep? The opposite is currently true for gold. The inflation figures from the UK of a smooth 3% in January are causing the central bank to break out in a cold sweat. Adieu interest rate cuts – instead, gold is appreciating again and reached a new all-time high of USD 2,945. We look at the winners and losers. It is time to position yourself correctly.

D-Wave makes a big splash! Palantir and the PayPal mafia! AI, quantum computing, and crypto in the Credissential stock!
Quantum computing has arrived in Germany! With the help of D-Wave, the Jülich Research Center plans to advance the research, simulation, and optimization of future technologies such as AI, quantum, and neuromorphic computing. Will this help D-Wave's high-flyer stock to develop new momentum? A real hidden gem (for now) is the Credissential stock. The software company combines AI, quantum computing, and crypto. The breakthrough is expected in 2025 when the stock is expected to take off. And what is Palantir doing? The stock is unstoppable, surpassing corporate growth. Investors are speculating about the PayPal Mafia and government contracts worth billions. And then, of course, there is the direct line to the US Vice President.

Palantir, First Nordic Metals, Barrick Gold – WATCH OUT: These stocks are on the move!
The tech industry celebrates Palantir as an AI pioneer: With a 390% price increase in 2024 and a forecast of USD 3.75 billion in revenue in 2025, the Company is convincing with its government and commercial AI solutions – but the P/E ratio of 600 raises sustainability questions. Meanwhile, First Nordic Metals is building on exploration momentum in the Scandinavian gold sector: new anomalies and cost-efficient drilling techniques are driving the stock. Barrick Gold, in turn, combines robustness (19% revenue growth) with geopolitical challenges in Mali and long-term, large-scale projects. We take a look at which companies offer potential and where valuations could be too high.

Things are heating up with Alibaba and Credissential, while Palantir and SAP ride the AI boom
The stock market is picking up speed. In addition to the high-tech and AI fantasy, there are rumors of peace in Ukraine. European equities that are likely to play a role in any reconstruction are attracting a lot of attention. Cement maker Heidelberg Materials has been performing well for weeks, and Siemens is also gaining daily. Outside of geopolitical considerations, SAP remains the only German cloud of hope to be a long-running success. Is a correction possible here? It is difficult to imagine at the moment, so attention is turning to lagging stocks or stocks that have already fully exploited their momentum. For those paying close attention, divergences are visible!

Globex Mining, Intel, D-Wave: AI Revolution Drives Resources and Semiconductor Market
The course for the future of AI was set this week in France, where 1,500 representatives from politics and business gathered for the international AI summit. The AI revolution is driven by immense energy and semiconductor demand that Europe, with its current energy policy, cannot fulfil. The commodities rally for energy generation is gaining momentum to power the immense data centers. Ideal timing for the explorer Globex Mining, which, with its portfolio of strategic commodities, is a mineral bank for investors. With a strong diversification of commodities and precious metals, there is something for practically every energy requirement. Intel, on the other hand, could experience a recovery through cooperation with TSMC. The stock suffered a 60% decline last year. Quantum computing pioneer D-Wave demonstrates that practical applications of the technology are already in use today. In an open letter, CEO Baratz addresses investors.

Palantir, Credissential, Deutsche Bank – AI separates winners from losers
AI is revolutionizing the business world and, for good reason, transforming entire industries. Palantir is setting new standards in data analysis by integrating Grok, the AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk for his X platform. The Canadian tech company Credissential is also pursuing a platform approach. Here, the AI-supported solution is developing a comprehensive package for buying used cars online in the US market. In addition to the vehicle, the software is being developed and marketed to a predominantly young audience and Credissential is building its software to offer appropriate insurance, transfer costs, and other relevant add-ons. Once implemented, the company expects an improved conversion rate by connecting to the digital marketplace. Deutsche Bank is currently facing a fine of EUR 10 million. Employees sold financial derivatives to small and medium-sized companies in Spain, whose risks was largely not communicated.

Barrick Gold, First Nordic Metals, MicroStrategy – Profiteers in the bull market
The gold price is unstoppable and reached the USD 2,800 per ounce mark for the first time in its long history during the past trading week. In comparison, gold producers such as Barrick Gold or Newmont are trading well below their highs. However, should the underlying asset remain at this high level, the profits of precious metals companies are likely to skyrocket. By then, producers, as well as exploration companies, should start to catch up.

Palantir, Desert Gold, MicroStrategy – Profits with data, gold, and Bitcoin
In times of looming trade war and high volatility, as recently triggered by DeepSeek, one should invest in booming business models. Otherwise, in these turbulent times, it is wise to move at least part of your portfolio into "safe havens." Traditionally, this has been gold, but for the younger generation, who are more willing to take risks, it is cryptocurrencies. To outperform the market in the long term requires patience and foresight. Today, we look at three companies in the fields of data processing, gold, and cryptocurrencies and examine where the risks and opportunities lie.

Alibaba, Credissential, MicroStrategy – Innovative business models: where is the hidden potential?
This week, the latest announcement by the US Federal Reserve that key interest rates would remain unchanged for the time being only briefly provided some reassurance. Instead, concerns about the ongoing risk of stagflation and the disruptive power of artificial intelligence are dominating the debate. Three companies, seemingly separated by industries and national borders, have more in common than first glance suggests: they have all deeply embedded digitalization in their DNA and are pursuing growth strategies. Today, we look at which business models could face challenges due to US tariffs and which ones appear safe.
