Attention: DAX dividends! Car stocks pay out: Mercedes-Benz, MS Industrie, VW and BMW
The DAX 40 index has gone into reverse gear in recent weeks. In addition to the high-tech and artificial intelligence sectors, the multi-month bull market also included defense stocks in the interim phase. There is no real reason to celebrate among automotive stocks, as an expected decline in GDP also means reduced household budgets. This translates to fewer new vehicle sales, with many electric vehicles produced in bulk occupying important showroom space from dealers for months. The pain is increasing, and those looking to sell vehicles find themselves in ruinous discount battles with cheap Chinese imports. However, there appears to be a glimmer of hope on the horizon: interest rate cuts! They are expected in the second half of the year. We analyze the current situation.

AI shares in takeover frenzy, further gains of over 100% possible with Nvidia, Exasol, Palantir and Super Micro Computer
In the first quarter of 2024, the stock markets were at their friendliest, but the focus was almost exclusively on Bitcoin, Artificial Intelligence and high-tech. Meanwhile, the market leader in fast chips, Nvidia, has become the epicenter of future Big Data and AI applications. Productivity increases of over 20% per year are expected worldwide through the use of artificial intelligence in businesses, but commercial market penetration is still in its infancy. Therefore, it can be assumed that the rally will continue or even accelerate in the current environment. In addition to the well-known crowd-pullers, there are also latecomers with huge potential, including in Germany.

Watch out: DAX record chase! Automotive stocks in the fast lane: Mercedes-Benz, Globex Mining, VW and Tesla
The DAX 40 index is chasing from one high to the next, surpassing the 18,400 mark yesterday. In addition to artificial intelligence, it is primarily high-tech and defense stocks that are moving the market. The automotive stocks are still in the doldrums, as an expected decline in GDP also means smaller household budgets. Nothing is worse for the industry than the postponement of new car purchases until next year. The stockpiles are getting bigger, and dealers are plunging into desperate discount battles. However, the market is changing noticeably. Currently, there are clear buying candidates; we analyze the current situation.

The race begins! Beating DAX records with BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Hensoldt and Rheinmetall
The DAX 40 index is setting new records almost daily, following the bullish lead from the US. Artificial intelligence (AI), armaments, crypto and high-tech are the top themes on the stock markets. Nobody wants to know anything more about hydrogen, and e-mobility has also seen better days. It can be profitable to examine the sought-after stocks with a fundamental magnifying glass. Often, hints about where the journey is heading can be found there. We focus on some of these stocks.

Volkswagen, Defense Metals, BYD, Rheinmetall - China's weapon in the tech race
In the shadow of global power rivalries, rare earths play a crucial role, not only for the defense industry, but also for the booming electric vehicle market and the production of catalytic converters in the automotive industry. These metals are the invisible backbone powering high-tech devices and are of strategic importance for the global economy and security. China's dominance in extracting and processing such resources - as illustrated by Deng Xiaoping's statement: "The Middle East has oil. China has rare earths." - sheds light on potential geopolitical tensions and highlights the importance of supply chain diversification and resilience.

Bitcoin USD 70,000 - High-tech and artificial intelligence - a perennial favorite! Nvidia, Defense Metals, AMD and Super Micro Computer
It happened over the weekend: USD 70,000 - and no end in sight for Bitcoin? A never-ending rally seems to be taking its course after the cryptocurrency turned upwards at USD 25,000 last September. Will the upswing continue unabated? Due to the upcoming halving in April, this could continue for a few more weeks, with the crypto following growing daily. Suppliers in the high-tech sector are riding the same wave: fast computers, graphics cards, big data and artificial intelligence. Almost infinite growth is expected behind these megatrends. However, valuations are already very advanced. Where are the opportunities for newcomers now?

Royal Helium, Infineon, Boeing - Helium: The rise to a High-Tech commodity
Helium, a lightweight, non-flammable and colourless gas often associated with party balloons, plays a far more significant role in the high-tech industry. From semiconductor production to nuclear magnetic resonance imaging to space travel, helium is an indispensable element that enables a wide range of high-tech applications. However, although demand for this precious gas continues to rise, its long-term availability is becoming increasingly problematic. In this article, we examine how this unassuming gas powers the modern high-tech industry and how you can benefit from it.

Combustion engine versus battery! BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Mercedes and VW in focus
The year 2024 is going like clockwork for the high-tech sector so far. Anything smelling of "Artificial Intelligence" is being valued significantly higher on the stock market with relatively little scrutiny. In the DAX 40 Index, this has notably affected Siemens and SAP and the topic of armaments, which in turn catapulted Airbus and Rheinmetall into new realms. Things are even more dynamic on the Nasdaq, where Microsoft and Nvidia, in particular, are causing a sensation. However, e-mobility, particularly favoured by the Berlin traffic light coalition, is stumbling due to the abolition of the environmental bonus in December 2023. Customers are again opting for domestic combustion engines and Chinese e-imports. We analyze the current opportunities for investors.

K+S, First Phosphate, Volkswagen - Phosphate: From fertilizer to high-tech application
Phosphate is an important nutrient for plants and animals and is used in agriculture as a fertilizer. It is also used in the food industry as an additive. Recently, however, the raw material has been needed in the high-tech environment. Battery manufacturers have an increased need for phosphate to produce lithium iron phosphate batteries, which are already used in some electric vehicles. The phosphate content in these batteries contributes to their stability and durability. If this technology becomes standard in all electric vehicles, demand will increase dramatically. So today, we take a look at fertilizer producer K+S, introduce a future producer in First Phosphate, and look at how Volkswagen is progressing in the area of electromobility.
