Globex Mining, Alphabet, Amazon - Hard assets in uncertain times
It continues to be uncertain times for Amazon employees. CEO Andy Jassy is cutting around 9,000 jobs in the group to keep the numbers stable. Tech rival Alphabet, on the other hand, can rejoice: for the first time, its cloud business is posting an operating profit, prompting the management team to buy back shares. The mining business is somewhat more consistent. Globex Mining has two pieces of good news for gold investors.

Alibaba, Alpina Holdings, NIO - Buy Asian stocks now?
The ECB has so far failed to keep pace with the US in terms of interest rate hikes. The reward for this was inflation of 8.7% in Germany in January. The value is expected to remain at this level in February. The Federal Statistical Office recently made changes to the shopping basket and used 2020 instead of 2015 as the base year for the calculation. The high energy prices, especially in Germany, are causing great uncertainty in industry. BASF has already decided to invest several billion euros in China. There have been positive impulses for the economy from China since the easing of the Corona measures. An economic upswing could be imminent here. Reason enough to take a closer look at three companies from Asia.

Manuka Resources, FREYR Battery, Alibaba - Silver demand accelerates globally, high pace is required
Global demand for silver and iron is being generated by both conventional industrial needs, such as construction and technology, and progress toward clean energy generation and related commodities, such as batteries and electric vehicles. Australia's Manuka Resources reports an impressive initial mineral resource of 3.2 billion tons grading 0.05% vanadium at its Taranaki VTM iron sands project in New Zealand. This contains 1.6 million tons of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), making it one of the most extensive vanadium deposits in the world. Vanadium is used for the production of high-performance batteries. This is where FREYR Battery comes into play. The Norwegian company reported its quarterly results and is on schedule with the construction of its in-house battery production facility. Top dog Alibaba also scored a win, as special data on the Chinese market has investors sitting up and taking notice...

Which stocks to get into now? Alphabet, Amazon, Aspermont and Alibaba under the magnifying glass!
Well, things turned out differently than expected! In the fall of 2022, the spectre of crisis made the rounds again several times. The forecasters overlapped in their assessment of the economic downturn. The reason was the strong inflation and the associated loss of purchasing power. But now: Where is inflation heading in 2023? In order to answer this question, it is helpful to look back to the period after the oil crisis in 1973. As was the case then, an energy price correction is to be expected today. Gas, meanwhile, has already fallen almost unnoticed to a 17-month low. Unfortunately, the Berlin traffic lights have already covered Germany's energy needs at peak prices, which is now blowing up people's utility bills. However, falling inflation also leads to lower interest rates, boosting growth stocks in particular. We take a look at important protagonists.

Attention. Climate and Tech Rally 3.0 continues - Are Alibaba, PayPal, Alpina Holdings and TUI in the Champions League?
The year is only just six weeks old, and already big winners can be spotted on the stock market. The correction of tech stocks in 2022 prompted many investors to open a new bet in 2023, and they were broadly right. Tesla is up 100%, Alibaba is up 80%, and Infineon is at least 50% higher. The IPO of Ionos has not been convincing so far, and as is well known, what is not can still be because the share is not expensive. We go in search of the next climbers.

BASF, Kleos Space, Amazon - With Big Data to share price success
For investors, the stock market remains a marketplace of innovations. But which company manages to expand its market power further?

Kleos Space is betting on space and, thanks to Elon Musk's SpaceX, is launching new satellites into space and, at the same time, cooperating with a data platform that was created around Airbus Defense. Amazon AWS is also betting on cooperation. The group is providing IT for cloud migration for a major US insurance company. Find out what exactly data predictions have to do with unscented body lotions here.

Rheinmetall, Saturn Oil + Gas, Amazon - These shares are growing in the face of crises
Tech groups like Amazon are laying off 10,000 employees to get back on track. Shareholders will be happy, and Amazon's Alexa department employees should quickly sign up with Indeed. The department is posting the biggest losses in 2022. Rheinmetall AG is off to a good start through the crisis. Thanks to the "ring swap" deal, the Düsseldorf-based company is now supplying the Greeks with fresh tanks. In turn, the Greeks give their Soviet-designed tanks to Ukraine's soldiers. Rheinmetall's share price has risen by 127.14% since the beginning of the year. Also among the crisis winners is Saturn Oil & Gas. With its numerous active oil drilling projects, investors have a broadly diversified portfolio at their disposal.

BioNTech, Meta Materials, and Amazon - Industry leaders belong in the portfolio
In 2021, the stock market world was still in order - it had been going nowhere but up for years. That was the peak of the stock hype, and many top dogs in their industries were very expensive from a fundamental point of view. That has changed significantly this year. Due to the Ukraine conflict, rising interest rates and ever-higher inflation, many industry leaders had to make significant losses. Even a drop of 50% was not uncommon. Yet the long-term outlook is good. Now that the stock market is slowly regaining momentum, it is worth taking a look at three companies that are leaders in their field.

Study shows how young people consume - TUI, Pathfinder Ventures, Amazon
Back in the 1980s, sunburn, cheese hedgehogs and bocce ball on the beach were simply part of the package for vacationers. Today, a vacation can be a bit more than that. Individual experiences and new cultures are in demand. As a study by the payment provider Klarna shows, young people, in particular, save significantly more than older generations in relation to their income. The most common savings goals are vacations, housing and pensions. Reason enough to take a closer look at some consumer stocks and their prospects.
