Palantir, NetraMark, Alibaba – AI stocks set for an upward trend
For the first time in history, the German leading index, DAX, broke through the historic 23,000-point mark in the past trading week. There were also records to report for the precious metal gold, which jumped over the USD 3,000 per ounce mark. In comparison, US indices, like the Dow Jones or Nasdaq, are still in a correction cycle. However, signs of stabilization are emerging, particularly with the Nasdaq, which may present interesting entry opportunities after the massive losses in tech stocks.

Alibaba, naoo, Amazon: Where innovation leads and profits rise
In early March 2025, Alibaba made a move with its AI model QwQ-32B, which is set to challenge DeepSeek. The stock immediately rose by 8.4%, and even institutional investors like Berkshire are getting involved. Markets are buzzing and are fueled by user interactions on social networks. A hidden gem in the USD 234 billion social media market is naoo AG. The Swiss company focuses on local networking and rewards users with an AI-based point system that they can use at local businesses. With 75,000 users and 6.5 million impressions, interactions are increasing rapidly. Amazon is focusing on real-time streaming of computer games in its AWS division. With GameLift Streams, they have been conquering the gaming market since March 2025, bringing games directly to billions of devices – a cost-efficient game changer for developers and investors.

Bloom Energy, Benton Resources, Alibaba – Exceptional performance
The scandal in the Oval Office between Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and US President Trump was a defining topic in recent days. The outcome remains uncertain from both a political and economic perspective. Will the missed peace talks now lead to a further downward spiral, or will negotiations be resumed, which could lead to an early end to the terrible war in Ukraine and a rally in the markets? Unaffected by global politics, several companies demonstrated strong momentum and could continue their upward trajectory.

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.

RWE, Nova Pacific Metals, Alibaba - How wind power, raw materials, and AI will shape the future
The energy transition and technological progress are shaping the global economic landscape in the first quarter. The German energy company RWE is investing in an innovative offshore wind farm control center on the German North Sea coast that will control the growing fleet of wind turbines from 2026. Renewable energies consume a lot of copper in their construction, bringing the explorer Nova Pacific Metals into focus. The Canadian company is preparing to start drilling at its strategically important Lara VMS project with a high copper content on Vancouver Island. The timing is ideal, as global demand for copper will increase to 50 million tons by 2035 – driven by energy transition projects like those of RWE, where a modern wind turbine alone requires 30 tons of copper. With secured financing of CAD 2.86 million and experienced expertise in the team, the chances for the drilling and further measures are excellent. The Chinese retail giant Alibaba is duly recognized as a global technology leader by the US Fortune Magazine and is ranked 3rd in the Internet Services and Retail category. What the publishers considered particularly important has to do with an AI highlight...

JinkoSolar, Globex Mining, ZEAL Network – Potential not yet realized
After a six-week streak in the green, the Dow Jones closed the past trading week in the red. In contrast, the Nasdaq technology exchange and the gold price reached new historic highs, while silver reached its highest level in 12 years. In this area in particular, enormous opportunities lie dormant for producers and smaller mining companies, which have so far been unable to benefit from the current precious metal boom on the stock exchange.

After the China rally, is it now time for a gold rush? Important stock check with Alibaba, BYD, Nio, and Desert Gold
The global stock rally is quite impressive, given the current geopolitical situation. However, only a few stocks are actually rising - around 25% of listed stocks, to be precise. The higher valuation of stocks is mainly driven by inflows into the large standard ETFs, which receive monthly inflows via a savings program. In the third quarter of 2024, global ETF assets grew by USD 390 billion, reaching a total of USD 12.4 trillion in assets under management. Stock-picking, therefore, only makes sense today if you are well-informed or possess strong analytical skills. We highlight a few investment opportunities for a handpicked portfolio.
