    TUI - Further price losses to be expected

    On December 2, 2020, the travel group reported that it had reached an agreement with a consortium of banks, KfW and the Economic Stabilization Fund on a further financing package worth EUR 1.8 billion. In retrospect, this agreement came just in time before the upcoming lockdown.

    Last Thursday, the Group reported on the fiscal year that ended on September 30, 2020. The figures presented a devastating picture. Revenue slumped by 58%; guest numbers fell by as much as 62%. Operationally, a loss of EUR 3 billion was incurred. The Group's plans to streamline its operations in the future and raise its annual savings targets from EUR 300 to EUR 400 million failed to excite many market participants given the losses incurred and the intangible change processes.

    Analysts downgraded the TUI share in succession. The Swiss UBS was particularly negative. The analyst in charge put the share up for sale with a price target of 110 pence (equivalent to EUR 1.20). The share has already lost almost a quarter of its value since the beginning of December. Now that several factors are intensifying negatively (lockdown, low figures and analyst downgrades), the TUI share is likely to head further south. The EUR 3 area has marked the end of the downward movement several times in recent months.

    Blackrock Gold - 2021 will be exciting

    The exploration Company Blackrock Gold is focusing its efforts exclusively on its two projects, Silver Cloud and Tonopah, in the US state of Nevada. The goal is to discover new, economic gold and silver deposits along established trends or zones of mineralization.

    In early December 2020, the Company reported drill results from the DPB zone of the Tonopah project. Several intercepts of high-grade mineralization were encountered, confirming the Company's geological model. Blackrock Gold also announced its intention to establish a resource definition by the end of 2021. Additional drilling programs must be run for this.

    After a consolidation that has been ongoing since the summer, the Company is currently valued at CAD 65 million. Rising precious metal prices and, in particular, the newsflow from new drilling programs should boost the share price again next year. Traditionally, the month of December offers good entry opportunities, especially in Canada, as investors exit for tax reasons. It is not uncommon to see a significant price increase already after the turn of the year.

    ThyssenKrupp - no state aid

    The Group already initiated the strategic realignment in May 2019. But as is so often the case, transformation processes prove to be more protracted than expected and put investors' patience to the test.

    The focus is currently on the Group's ailing steel division. On Friday thyssenkrupp reported that the Group was rejecting a state investment. With its strict conditions, the economic stabilization fund is not the right vehicle for restructuring the steel business with equity. The Company now wants to decide by next March on how to proceed with the steel business. If the Group continues with the business, this will entail massive cost reductions and job cuts. Another option is to sell the business. There is currently an offer from the British Liberty Steel.

    The stock has recovered significantly from the lows of recent months. The news situation, sentiment and many question marks over the future of the steel business argue for continued weaker share prices.

    Gold Sector Remains Optimistic: How Kinross Gold and Orla Mining Are Securing the Future—and Lahontan Gold's Hidden Ace

    "Gold. Power. Greed." That was the title of a recent documentary aired by German broadcaster ZDF, exploring the enduring appeal of the precious metal. Investors seeking returns from precious metals often turn their attention first to giants such as Barrick Mining and other major producers. Yet while new discoveries may have only a limited impact on the share prices of established mining companies, positive exploration results can drive a very different level of momentum among smaller players. Agile exploration companies that can supply the processing plants of major producers—thanks to fresh capital, prime locations, and manageable costs—promise dynamic upside potential, as recently highlighted in the ZDF documentary. We introduce three exciting companies and highlight where investors can expect strong momentum.

    China Is Buying Gold—Even More Than Expected? Barrick Mining, Newmont, and Lahontan Gold Stand to Benefit

    While the price of gold holds steady above the USD 4,000 mark, China is buying heavily. According to the Chinese central bank, China purchased 15 metric tons of gold in June alone. This is the highest volume since October 2023. Furthermore, the market has long suspected that China's actual gold purchases are significantly higher than the officially reported amounts. This could mean gold is on the verge of a new rally. For investors looking to profit from a long-term rise in the price of gold, Barrick Mining and Newmont are considered core investments in the gold sector. They offer relatively direct exposure to the price of gold. Rising selling prices can have a disproportionately large impact on cash flow and profits when production costs remain stable. At the same time, operational risks, cost increases, and political uncertainties persist in individual mining countries. Exploration companies are a good option for adding to a portfolio to gain additional exposure to the price of gold.

    Do Not Miss Gold's Next Rally: Why Newmont, Desert Gold and Agnico Eagle Deserve a Closer Look

    Investors are watching the yellow precious metal closely; its price has recently come under pressure but has stabilized above USD 4,000. The fundamental conditions for further price increases remain intact. Central banks continue to prefer buying gold over the US dollar; geopolitical turmoil is driving demand for safe-haven assets; and the prospect of falling key interest rates is traditionally good for gold prices. At the same time, robust physical demand coupled with stagnant production is leading to a supply shortage. This environment is fostering positive sentiment, particularly among producers. A look at the current situation at Newmont, Desert Gold, and Agnico Eagle reveals which companies could benefit most from this tailwind.
