The R-word is currently doing the rounds - and is playing a major role in ensuring that the downward economic spiral accelerates even faster. Yet the US economy is still doing well. Although economic data always refers to the past, the purchasing managers' index and labor market data speak a clear language. A recession looks different. But why is the stock market sky still not full of violins after last week's correction? We take three stocks as examples and do the comeback check for the stock market.

    Nordex: No special boom

    Detached from all recession fears, the wind power plant manufacturer Nordex should trend upward. After all, wind power is the key to a sustainable future and could be the solution even in the medium term. During the G7 summit in Elmau, researchers from a think tank calculated that Germany could become independent of Russian energy by the end of the year if heat pumps were promoted and all wind turbines already approved were also built immediately. But that is not how it will happen. Just recently, an article in the German business weekly Wirtschaftswoche caused quite a stir, explaining Germany's entire bureaucratic chaos using various examples.

    It is not for nothing that Nordex is glad to have orders from other regions of the world. There, the approval of projects is faster, and possibly there are even further advantages compared to the German home market. So far, Nordex has not succeeded in becoming profitable. The cost-cutting measures have even led to the closure of production facilities in Germany. Although the Nordex share has recently surged, one swallow does not make a summer. Even if inflation falls and growth picks up again, Nordex would first have to expand its margins. The stock is not very promising at the moment.

    Deutsche Bank: Bet on a consistent turnaround in interest rates

    Deutsche Bank CEO Christian Sewing has recently described inflation as "poison" for society and urged central banks to respond decisively. The ECB has so far announced a somewhat hesitant start to the interest rate turnaround. But there are also members of the ECB's Governing Council who emphasize internally that it is possible to deviate from the outlined course. A more significant rate hike on July 21 could signal to the market that the monetary guardians are taking up the fight against inflation. At the same time, however, a significant rate hike could feed concerns about a recession.

    From Deutsche Bank's point of view, rising interest rates would be favorable - after all, the bank earns money with loans, and if interest rates are well above 0, this automatically creates scope for low-risk business. In recent years, Deutsche Bank has sought its salvation in cyclical investment banking. If the ECB succeeds in conveying credibility in the fight against inflation while at the same time emphasizing that it does not want to stifle growth under any circumstances, Deutsche Bank's share price could pick up again. The share price currently only looks like a stock market loser, but above EUR 8.50, the chart picture brightens.

    Aspermont: Digital media company with more than 7 million contacts

    One company that has been trading at a constant level for many months and is seen as a growth hope is Aspermont. The digital media house publishes publications on all aspects of the commodity markets and thus has connections to industry and mining. When it comes to online training on specific markets, for example, buyers can quickly find solutions at Aspermont. The Company is also currently pushing ahead with a digital platform that will make it easier for investors to invest in companies on the Australian stock market. With the "Blue Horseshoe" platform, Aspermont, as a joint venture partner, brings together investors and companies seeking capital. Although the market environment is currently not the best for such a project, the current market phase should at least ensure that there is an ample supply on the platform - growth companies, in particular, are often desperate for capital.


    According to its own information, Aspermont has more than 7 million contacts and is a digital and thus scalable business that offers many synergies. For example, anyone who subscribes to publications on commodities or books training courses can also approach investors via "Blue Horseshoe". The share price has stabilized at its current level. If market sentiment brightens again, Aspermont, which has achieved a turnaround in recent years, should offer new potential.

    Even if market sentiment is currently conceivably poor, there is hope. If Russian gas flows again in the coming weeks and the warring parties come closer together, this should curb inflation. In turn, this could give the central banks the necessary security to master the required balancing act in the interest rate turnaround. Every bull market is born in panic. Investors with a clear compass can profit.

    Gold boom as an enormous price lever for explorers like Desert Gold Ventures! In or out of Barrick and First Majestic Silver?

    In recent weeks, gold and silver prices have reached new all-time highs. Silver in particular has seen a sharp increase in volatility at these elevated price levels. US investment banks remain bullish and forecast a gold price of at least USD 4,900 by year-end. Gold continues to serve as a safe haven amid geopolitical tensions, high government debt, and declining purchasing power. In addition, strategic purchases by central banks are on the rise. Taken together, these factors create a favorable environment for precious metals and producers. Last year, the shares of mining operators such as Barrick and First Majestic outperformed precious metal prices. It is characteristic of a later phase of a bull market that investor preferences shift toward explorers such as Desert Gold. We take a closer look at three industry representatives and their potential.

    Alternative to Barrick Mining and Equinox Gold: Why Maduro's fall could drive gold prices higher and make LAURION Mineral a strategic target

    The 2026 stock market year is beginning with a geopolitical earthquake whose tectonic shifts will be felt across global commodity markets for a long time to come. The direct intervention of the United States in Venezuela and the effective removal of President Nicolás Maduro have redefined the global security architecture virtually overnight. While Washington celebrates the move as a necessary restoration of democracy in the Western Hemisphere, geopolitical rivals Beijing and Moscow are responding with sharp rhetoric and brusque diplomatic protests. Uncertainty is spreading like wildfire – from the shores of Cuba, where the regime fears for its survival, all the way to Greenland, where major powers are increasingly competing aggressively for strategic spheres of influence. With gold already rising for months amid mounting uncertainty and monetary policy concerns, investors continue to flee to the safe haven. However, while established producers such as Barrick and Equinox absorb the first wave of panic-driven inflows, strategic investors are turning their attention to the few remaining safe jurisdictions such as Canada. Here, specialized explorers like LAURION Mineral Exploration hold precisely the kind of assets that are becoming the most valuable currency in an uncertain world.

    Battery supply on a knife's edge – NEO Battery Materials becomes an established industrial partner

    The push for e-mobility and rising demand from defense applications are driving a quantum leap in battery technology. At the same time, China is increasingly putting the brakes on as an industrial partner. Beijing recently imposed export restrictions on high-performance Li-ion aggregates. This makes it a real challenge for manufacturers to equip their products with high-quality energy storage. The latest announcement from NEO Battery Materials is therefore a game-changer! Certification as an OEM supplier has been completed. NEO Battery Materials, a company that is at the beginning of industrial scaling and technical differentiation, presents itself as a specialist in silicon-based anode materials with a secured production hub in South Korea. Particularly relevant for investors: high-performance batteries are increasingly being treated as critical infrastructure in Western industrial and defense policy, meaning they are structurally tied to priority investment areas. Geopolitically motivated trade barriers must be navigated carefully. Time is of the essence.
