The next gold rush with silver! dynaCERT and JinkoSolar remain winners, caution with Nel and thyssenkrupp

  • Hydrogen
  • greenhydrogen
  • renewableenergies
  • Steel

If things continue this way, gold and silver are set to become the top performers of 2024. Excluding popular technology stocks like Nvidia, the Nasdaq 100 index is currently up 32% in Euro terms. Precious metals have recently outperformed this return. Gold prices have increased by almost 40%, while silver prices have risen by nearly 50%. Commodity experts attribute the new rally to the strong increase in money supply by central banks and the persistently high inflation. Silver is expected to see an even stronger appreciation, as the widely observed gold-silver ratio is at historically high levels of 80, whereas in regular times, it should be around 50. With a gold price of USD 3,000 in 2025, silver could theoretically advance to USD 60. LME physical silver inventories are at a 20-year low. In our peer group of stocks, there are clear candidates for a rapid doubling.

Plug Power, First Hydrogen, thyssenkrupp – Has the bottom been found?

  • Hydrogen
  • Fuelcells
  • renewableenergies
  • Steel
  • greenhydrogen

The hydrogen industry could be on the verge of a significant upturn, as numerous positive developments and investments have recently occurred. The US government has taken significant steps to strengthen the hydrogen infrastructure by introducing seven Gigahub locations, which will benefit companies like Plug Power. In Germany, demand for green hydrogen is expected to increase rapidly, and thyssenkrupp plans to use it to produce green steel. In addition, companies in the logistics industry are considering strategic adjustments to better position themselves. Together with the global movement towards decarbonization, this creates exciting potential for this sector.

Airbus, Almonty, thyssenkrupp: Market impacts and investment opportunities in focus

  • Mining
  • Tungsten
  • Steel
  • armaments
  • aerospace

The aerospace company Airbus recently lowered its financial targets for 2024 due to supply chain issues and additional costs in the aerospace division. Aircraft buyers will have to wait longer than previously communicated for the delivery of new aircraft. Tungsten supplier Almonty Industries could become a guarantor of seamless supply chains thanks to production sites in conflict-free countries. Almonty owns mines in Portugal, Spain, and South Korea. Czech billionaire Daniel Křetínský's investment in thyssenkrupp shows how much demand for tungsten is increasing. In times of increasing armament, steel with tungsten is becoming more and more valuable and in demand. Křetínský is known for investing in undervalued companies and aims to acquire 20% of the Duisburg steel giant. Restructuring at the personnel level has unions up in arms. Where is an investment worthwhile?

Almonty Industries, thyssenkrupp, Rheinmetall: Three metal industry shares in focus

  • Mining
  • Tungsten
  • armaments
  • Steel

The metal industry contributes globally to the development of various sectors through continuous innovation driven by mining, R&D and technological advances. Tough times lie ahead for thyssenkrupp. During the Annual General Meeting, CEO Miguel López emphasized that energy costs for steel production will account for up to half of total costs. Quo Vadis, Germany, as a business location? So, let's take a look at South Korea, another renowned steel producer. The tungsten mining company Almonty Industries is positioning itself as a pioneer here, aiming to cover 7% of the global market. Its strategy involves mining in democratically governed countries and establishing first-class trade partners such as the US and South Korea. Given the geopolitical tensions, in which 90% of tungsten production comes from China and Russia, investors should analyze Almonty more closely. Meanwhile, Rheinmetall, an arms manufacturer, is enjoying full-order books and, for the first time, is exploring a completely new technology division for its portfolio expansion.

  • Hydrogen
  • greenhydrogen
  • Electromobility

ThyssenKrupp no longer wants to be (almost) just a steel conglomerate. Donald Trump sees the transition to sustainable transportation as an attack on the industry, and in parallel, Germany is pondering how to change course. We shed light on the tremors in the industry and explain which technologies are yesterday's news and where new long-term potential is emerging. This much can be revealed in advance: Surprises lurk off the well-trodden tracks!

Since February 24 at the latest, a new era has also begun in Germany. While before that, it was still possible to avoid the energy turnaround somewhat, the war has changed everything. Fossil fuels are no longer just considered dirty, but also expensive. The energy turnaround that has been triggered is also shaking up the stock market. We present companies that could surprise positively and clarify how investors should best invest.

Minimum risk, maximum opportunity: Thyssenkrupp, Saturn Oil + Gas, BioNTech

  • Mining
  • Oil
  • Biotechnology
  • Steel

The energy price hammer, possible gas rationing in winter, and then there was the pandemic - but which issues end up impacting share prices? Are the risks around energy shortages already adequately priced into the industry? Are energy companies even fairly valued? And what opportunities can BioNTech still offer? We look at three stocks and provide an overview of opportunities and risks.

Records push for action - Desert Gold Ventures, ThyssenKrupp, BioNTech

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • Biotechnology
  • Steel

The statement comes as little surprise to many. The German Federal Bank said that annual inflation in the eurozone would likely reach a new record high in the last quarter of 2022 due to rising commodity costs and supply shortages. In addition, German Bundesbank head Nagel believes the German economy may slip into recession in the winter. It is therefore likely that the monetary watchdogs have lost the race for inflation, especially in the eurozone. Further rate hikes are only expected to stall the economy's growth engine further. It is time to look at long-term positions in the precious metals sector.

Defense Metals, Gazprom, ThyssenKrupp - Winners and losers

  • Defense
  • RareEarths
  • Military
  • Oil
  • Gas
  • Steel

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.
