K+S AG, BrainChip, Bayer - Shares in waiting position
At the end of last week, FED head Jerome Powell brought down the stock markets with the announcement of further interest rate steps and a hawkish stance by the US Federal Reserve. A similar scenario looms next week at the European Central Bank meeting. Here, speculation is mounting that an interest rate step of even 0.75% could be imminent due to rampant inflation. In the long term, however, the contingent of the European monetary guardians is limited because too strong an increase would lead to the collapse of the debt countries. Moreover, this would mean a further slowdown of the already weakening European economy. Therefore, a return to the loose monetary policy in the fourth quarter does not appear to be out of the question, which could result in a further stock market boom.

Analysts enthusiastic about figures - K+S, Meta Materials, Deutsche Telekom
The second quarter results season is slowly drawing to a close. Overall, most companies were again able to surprise on the upside despite recession fears and supply chain problems. In addition, forecasts for the year were largely maintained despite risks relating to energy procurement and costs. Due to the correction in the first half of the year, many companies offer attractive entry opportunities at their current levels. In addition, analysts see price increases of over 50% for various stocks.

K+S, Globex Mining, Barrick Gold - Has the bottom been reached for commodity stocks?
Recession fears have had a grip on the commodities sector in recent weeks. Copper was quoted below USD 7,000 per ton again for the first time. Two other factors create additional pressure. First, there is the strong dollar. The last interest rate hikes failed to lower the inflation rate. At the same time, the strong USD is making raw materials more expensive, which has led to a drop in demand. On the other hand, the zero-Covid policy in China is slowing demand. Nevertheless, the outlook for commodity stocks is good. At the moment, many companies are taking a wait-and-see approach because of the uncertainties. If the recession does not materialize, prices will soon rise again. The three companies we are taking a closer look at today will also benefit from this.

Rheinmetall on the verge of a breakout, and MAS Gold and K+S with rebound opportunity
Due to the uncertain geopolitical situation regarding the Ukraine conflict and concerns about inflation getting out of hand, the most important stock market indices are again turning downward. Germany's leading index, the DAX, is once again struggling with the psychologically important 13,000-point mark. With the exception of defense stocks, there is downward pressure across the board. Fertilizer manufacturers, which initially benefited particularly from the sanctions against Russia, are also correcting sharply and offering interesting entry opportunities for long-term investors. The precious metals markets are also running into attractive buying zones.

K+S, Erin Ventures, Nvidia - Buy high-class shares when the cannons roar
The markets have lost a lot of ground in the past few days. Among them are companies excellently positioned for the future and are among the major players in their respective fields.

So it is time to get quality into your portfolio. Today we look at three companies that seem promising in the long term.

Stocks on the brink - here is how you can trade: thyssenkrupp, Nevada Copper, K+S
When companies are on the brink of collapse, it is usually already over for the stock market: As a rule, share prices react quickly to corporate distortions. Sometimes, however, these difficulties are only anticipated by the market and exaggerated in the context of the overall market. One such example is thyssenkrupp. The Company currently has its back to the wall again. We look at the situation and draw parallels with comparable companies at differing stages.

K+S, dynaCERT, Siemens - Record orders and great opportunities
The Corona pandemic caused chaos, disrupted business processes and ultimately blew up entire supply chains. It is difficult for companies to recover from this. With Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a new test for businesses is on the horizon. While only a few industries, such as fertilizer manufacturers, could profit, the broad mass of listed companies went down. After calming down, there are now long-term opportunities at attractive levels.

Rheinmetall, Triumph Gold, K+S - Hype or sustainable?
Already during the Corona pandemic, clear winners and losers could be identified. Vaccine manufacturers multiplied, and companies related to online trading also performed better than the market. In the current Ukraine crisis, however, the signs are changing. Suddenly, defense stocks, which were frowned upon a short time ago, are all the rage. Fertilizer companies, benefiting from the sanctions and the resulting supply shortages, are also gaining favor with investors. But how sustainable are the current increases? Gold mining stocks are also doing very well, but in contrast to Rheinmetall, Hensoldt & Co., they are performing much weaker.

K+S, Globex Mining, BHP Group - Commodity stocks for the next supercycle
Decarbonization is taking its toll. If you want to get out of fossil fuels, you need alternatives. But these alternatives require raw materials, some of which are not available in sufficient quantities. The result is rising prices. Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo see commodities at the beginning of a supercycle, which means that the rally in commodities will last longer than 10 years. Tight supply is now further torpedoed by the Ukraine crisis and supply chain problems visible in China's ports. It is terrible for the industry but good for commodity producers. Today we look at three companies that could benefit from a supercycle.

Mercedes-Benz, Edison Lithium, K+S - Strong gains from the start
Mercedes-Benz AG scores with a good return on cars and vans in the first quarter of this year. Luxury and electric, in particular, are selling like hotcakes. Despite the pandemic, delivery problems and the lapsed Russian business, shareholders are benefiting from the current share price. To meet the demand for electromobility, areas with mineral resources such as lithium and cobalt are becoming increasingly valuable. These metals are used in batteries to power electric vehicles. The fertilizer company K+S is also providing drive in the agricultural sector. With its products, farmers generate almost twice as much crop yield. However, this disturbs a delicate balance, prompting the German Federal Ministry of Research and Education to take action.
