Big Short on defense? Long in gold! Caution with Renk, Deutz, and Airbus - Revaluation for Desert Gold imminent
After a record quarter on the stock markets, caution is now called for. Inflation remains stubbornly high, and the growing national debt is fueling the rising prices. This will worsen the situation for growth stocks, particularly, as hopes of interest rate cuts look bleak in the short term. Defense stocks have soared on the back of the government's trillion-dollar check, with heavenly balance sheet figures expected for them in the future. In the short term, however, they have already priced in the year 2030 in their share prices, which will result in a slowdown in the current 2025. In this environment, gold can no longer be held back because when currencies offer less and less purchasing power, precious metals are in demand. We take a critical view of Renk, Steyr, and Airbus. For Desert Gold, the boosters should ignite soon!

ARMAMENTS and GOLD! Target prices are rising! Barrick Gold, Deutz, and Globex Mining!
The "Rambo Zambo" billions of Friedrich Merz continue to drive the Deutz share higher. After the solid annual figures, profit-taking seemed likely to set in for the engine manufacturer's shares, but this was misinterpreted! Yesterday, analysts again raised the target price significantly! The Globex Mining share is also performing strongly. The mining incubator is benefiting not only from the rising gold price, which remains solidly above the USD 3,000 mark. Will it crack the USD 3,500 mark soon? A deal has now been brokered with IAMGOLD. And what is Barrick Gold doing? After the recovery rally, it seems momentum has slowed. Now, a project is also being abandoned.

TAKEOVER WAVE in ARMAMENTS and LITHIUM? Hensoldt, Standard Lithium, and BMW partner European Lithium
Is a takeover wave coming after the stock surge in the defense sector? Hensoldt's CEO has spoken out in favor of a consolidation of the industry in Europe. He plans to actively shape this process while also hiring thousands of new employees. At the same time, analysts advise selling Hensoldt shares. The share of European Lithium, on the other hand, is recommended for purchase. The Company is supporting BMW in its "Neue Klasse" and thus in the fight against competitors such as BYD. Trading has been suspended for days due to pending drilling results. There is also something going on at Standard Lithium in the US. Is the white gold on the verge of a comeback?

Almonty Industries, Hensoldt, and Renk Group: Strategic moves for Europe's strength
Global tensions and dynamic US politics are driving Europe's security efforts. Companies like tungsten producer Almonty Industries and defense contractors such as Hensoldt and Renk Group are moving to the center of this geopolitical chess game. Almonty has a unique opportunity to break China's tungsten monopoly with its Sangdong mine in South Korea. This presents a glimmer of hope for companies like Rheinmetall, which require hundreds of tons of tungsten yearly to continue to meet the demand for armaments. The German radar technology company Hensoldt has already seen its share price rise by 20% since plans for a multi-billion-dollar defense fund were announced. Renk Group supplies the drives for Europe's rearmament: With a "Ba2" rating from Moody's, the transmission manufacturer benefits from the NATO boom and US expansion. Between geopolitical pressure, commodity risks, and political hurdles, peaceful coexistence is at stake. Who has a strategic advantage for the next move on the global playing field?

Missiles for Russia! Returns lurk at thyssenkrupp, Rheinmetall, Almonty, Renk and Hensoldt?
Western missiles for Russia! A new escalation in the Ukraine conflict hits the trading floors of the stock markets, leading to significant losses for the DAX - dropping 400 points in just 24 hours. Portfolios now have to be quickly restructured as armaments are back in demand again. In addition, critical metals are also gaining traction because special elements such as tungsten are also needed to harden ammunition and military equipment. Those who pivot their portfolios swiftly could benefit from rapid revaluations.

Hensoldt AG, Almonty Industries, Vonovia - New opportunities after the crash
The past trading week was indeed quite a challenge. Uncertainty and high volatility dominated the global financial markets. Although share prices gradually recovered after Black Monday, it is still too early to sound the all-clear due to increasing geopolitical tensions and the unwinding of the global yen carry trade. Nevertheless, interesting entry opportunities have opened up for investors following the exaggerated price losses at many companies.

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?

Acute threat? Armaments and high-tech in the crosshairs: Aixtron, Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall and Hensoldt
The recent European elections have enabled the conservative camp to make significant gains. Undoubtedly, a whole bouquet of issues has led to the so-called "shift to the right". In times of war, however, the neutral observer may not be surprised that the self-proclaimed peace parties, represented by the colours red and green, have lost considerable ground. After all, the competence for peacemaking and security in Europe tends to be found in the conservative camp. The capital markets currently favour high-tech and armaments, orders are booming, and growth is assured for years to come. It is now crucial for stock market players to take a closer look at these sectors, as the high-yield performers of the first half of the year appear to be correcting more strongly. What will happen here in the medium term?

First Hydrogen, RWE, Rheinmetall - Sustainable investments with hydrogen and armaments
According to estimates, the global hydrogen production market will reach USD 230.81 billion by 2030. Both governments and industry are, therefore, in favour of the rapid development of this technology. The Canadian company First Hydrogen has already successfully tested a hydrogen fuel cell-powered van specially developed for the logistics sector. International logistics companies and vehicle manufacturers are now signaling their interest in working together. The energy company RWE is also focusing on hydrogen. The construction of hydrogen power plants in Germany is to be driven forward with two European partners. Rheinmetall, on the other hand, is expanding into the Baltic States. A new ammunition plant is being built in Lithuania. This will result in many lucrative advantages for the German group. Which investment is most likely to yield returns?

Invest in these stocks now! BYD, Varta, Royal Helium!
Those who invest in latecomer stocks now could be rewarded. After all, the high-flyers of 2024 from the fields of artificial intelligence and armaments are anything but cheaply valued. Here are three stocks that could be worth buying now, at least at first glance. BYD has bucked the industry trend by publishing positive sales figures, is making progress in autonomous driving, and analysts are optimistic. Those looking to benefit indirectly from the boom in armaments or quantum computers should consider Royal Helium. A capital increase has injected fresh money into the Company's coffers, and the helium producer can take off again. And what about problem child Varta? The struggling battery manufacturer has found a new CEO, but the old problems remain.
