The energy issue is a concern for industry and citizens. Consumers, in particular, are now so unsettled that they have decided to wait and see. But passivity is not a good advisor. Within industry, it has long been clear that hydrogen is the key to climate neutrality - the successful IPO of ThyssenKrupp Nucera underscores this. But there are energy alternatives: An agreement between Canada and Ukraine shines a spotlight on uranium.

    ThyssenKrupp Nucera: Euphoria faded

    After its highly acclaimed IPO, the stock of hydrogen company ThyssenKrupp Nucera has come down to earth. It seems that the wait-and-see attitude of many German citizens when it comes to real estate measures has also rubbed off on the market. Even if hydrogen is the future, investors are currently holding back. Nobody wants to chase the price of a comparatively young stock in the current market environment. In addition, there are initiatives worldwide to produce green hydrogen. As is always the case when a technology gradually establishes itself on the market, products and business models are also subject to a reality check. Given the many laurels that hydrogen companies have already received in recent years, there is also potential for disappointment. Anyone familiar with the chemical properties of hydrogen may well begin to have doubts given the volatility of the gas and its explosiveness in combination with oxygen - especially if they have had experience with poor craftsmen in the recent past.

    Cameco: Is Canada stepping in the breach of Russia?

    In many of the world's economies, nuclear power continues to be an issue alongside renewable energy, which is rightly booming. The technology boasts benefits like zero CO2 emissions and significant energy output. On the downside are possible accidents and their barely calculable costs, as well as the question of the final storage of used fuel rods. Despite the ambivalent overall picture, economies such as China and the US are holding on to nuclear plans. With Russia no longer an option as a trading partner for many countries, Canada has recently been helping supply fuel rods to Ukraine. According to Cameco CEO Tim Gitzel, other countries could soon follow Ukraine's example and sign supply contracts with companies from Canada.

    GoviEx Uranium: Africa as a uranium hotspot

    Other regions are also suitable, for example, the African state of Niger. The French nuclear industry has already found good conditions there. The Canadian company GoviEx Uranium has good opportunities to profit from the new situation on the world market for uranium with the already approved Madaouela project, which is scheduled to go into production in 2026, and the Muntanga project in Zambia, which has also been approved. The share price recently rose as a result of several positive company announcements. Among other things, the Company reported greater mining potential for its Muntanga open pit project.

    The Falea project in Mali, which GoviEx Uranium wanted to sell at the beginning of June, also remains in the Company's portfolio for the time being. The buyer at the time failed to close the transaction. As a result, GoviEx Uranium remains positioned in no less than three African countries. The Madaouela project in Niger, in particular, is predestined to give the Company's stock new momentum due to its progress. After months of decline and selling pressure, the signs are pointing to a comeback for GoviEx Uranium.

    Cameco share picks up - Second-tier stocks to follow?

    The share of Cameco, one of the world's largest uranium producers, has already made a small comeback in 2023. After bottoming out around the turn of the year, the share is now trading just below its 52-week high. By contrast, things are not yet going so well for Kazatomprom. The Kazakhstan-based company carries a certain geopolitical risk due to its proximity to Russia and is, therefore, unlikely to be at the top of many investors' lists.


    In addition to Canada, mining regions in Africa could benefit from increasing uranium demand, according to analysts. GoviEx Uranium's stock must be considered speculative due to its low market capitalization of only CAD 105 million and projects not yet in production. However, given the shifts in the uranium market due to the war in Ukraine, the outlook for GoviEx Uranium is not bad. The stock is a watchlist candidate - it does not always have to be hydrogen.

    Gold and silver – New record highs! Keep an eye on Barrick, Agnico Eagle, Desert Gold, and First Majestic!

    • Mining

    • Silver
    • Commodities

    Silver prices broke through the USD 53 mark for the first time at the beginning of the week, and gold is attempting to reach the USD 4,300 mark. Precious metal enthusiasts have been anticipating these moves for a long time, but traders on the futures exchanges clearly have not. In addition to extreme physical scarcity, the exploding prices are also attributed to heavy short squeezes. The physical silver market is under tremendous pressure as the availability of real metal to hedge the numerous futures transactions is severely limited. This imbalance is causing erratic market reactions and driving the spot price into an almost exponential sell-off. The current rally in precious metals is driven by geopolitical uncertainty, industrial demand factors, and the search for safe investments. In times of excessive government debt, the weakness of the US dollar is now also weighing on the market. Which companies should investors keep a close eye on now?

    SHARE PRICE EXPLOSION for commodity gems!? Nordex, Aurubis, Salzgitter, and Power Metallic Mines!

    Shares in the commodities and precious metals sector have been unstoppable in recent weeks. Power Metallic Mines could soon become an explosive latecomer to the rally. There are good reasons for this, as the CEO recently made clear. At Aurubis, the rally appears to be over for now. Analysts are skeptical, and the major shareholder is cashing in his shares - albeit in an unusual way. So should you sell now, too? The past few months have been unusually positive for Nordex. There is currently no sign of a slump in the wind business. What are analysts saying after the latest order intake?

    The trade conflict between the US and China is intensifying and reaching a new strategic dimension. Beijing is deliberately restricting exports of critical raw materials and rare earths that are indispensable for high-tech industries, defense, and the energy transition. Western industries are coming under pressure, security of supply is faltering, and prices are rising. Meanwhile, the beneficiaries of this situation, such as producers of critical raw materials, are experiencing a boom. What happens next, and what does the stock market newcomer TKMS have to do with it?
