BYD, dynaCERT, thyssenkrupp - Trump rollercoaster creates opportunities
The stock market currently resembles a rollercoaster, driven by US President Trump's daily shifts in strategy regarding punitive tariffs. After suffering significant losses due to a historic crash earlier in the week, the losses turned into substantial gains within minutes on Wednesday evening. Much of what is happening now is the result of panic and chance, creating attractive entry opportunities in certain companies.

Attention: IPO fever, now it's really starting! Hensoldt, Power Metallic, Renk, and thyssenkrupp
Before the election and after the election. At the beginning of the year, there was still a fight over the debt brake, but with the US pulling out of Ukraine aid, it seems that anything goes. Last week, in addition to an ECB interest rate cut, an EUR 800 billion package for armaments and infrastructure was proposed. This caused the DAX 40 index to surge, especially defense and construction stocks, which gained an average of 30%. Hensoldt and thyssenkrupp even made a giant leap upwards. The new all-time high for the index is now 23,475 points. Could there be an IPO from Essen soon? The probability for TKMS is increasing. However, it remains to be seen whether the significant premiums are sustainable; on Friday, there were initial sell-offs. Our specialty title, Power Metallic (formerly Power Nickel), continued to rise. We are looking into the crystal ball.

Global stock boom, Germany votes – Watch out for Mercedes-Benz, Argo Living, thyssenkrupp, Rheinmetall, and Hensoldt!
The stock market started the new year at full speed. The DAX index reached 22,900 points in February, which is in line with some analysts' year-end targets. Liquidity is high and sentiment remains buoyant despite all the negative events in the real world. The federal elections are just around the corner, with the prospect of a grand coalition with green or yellow enrichment. The people of Germany hope for a big change, but none of our politicians have the stature of a Donald Trump, who establishes new conditions by the second. The likelihood is high that coalition negotiations will take longer than we believe today, and the uncertainty surrounding the German economy will likely continue for a while. It will be interesting to see whether Germany ever experiences a real "double whammy". After all, there are enough problems to solve, but so far, the will and courage are lacking. Here you will find a selection of titles that could cause a stir even after the election.

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

Forget lithium! Now comes vanadium! Nordex, Manuka Resources, ThyssenKrupp
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.
