The start of the week in Germany has been mixed. At 15,937 points, the German benchmark index DAX is almost unchanged from the close of trading last Friday. No impulses are expected from the U.S. today, as the stock market there remains closed for the holiday. The MDAX last traded at 34,667 points (+0.24%), TecDAX at 3,563 points (+0.53%) and SDAX at 15,872 points with 0.07% in the red. Detached from the indices, investors have special opportunities today in individual stocks.

    Bet on a reverse movement?

    Unilever is one of the heavyweights on the stock exchange and, with 4,900 executed orders, is at the top of the most traded shares on Tradegate. The share is currently trading at EUR 44.055, down 6.56%. Those who bet on falling prices at the beginning of that trade were able to achieve a good performance, as the share starts the day at EUR 47.20. The share of BioNTech is also lighter today and was last quoted EUR 169.30 about 1.5% in the red. With over 4,000 executions, the stock ranks second most active company on Tradegate today.

    More than one million ounces of gold creates stability

    Canadian gold company Desert Gold Ventures surprised the market today with a positive announcement. The company has identified deposits of approximately 1.07 million ounces of gold on its lands in previous exploration and drilling programs - split into Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 310,300 ounces and Inferred Mineral Resources of 769,200 ounces of Gold.

    Desert Gold’s President & CEO Jared Scharf commented, “The publication of this initial Mineral Resource is a significant milestone for the Company and represents a great starting point. We believe, that with more drilling, the Company will be able to significantly expand on these resources and develop new resource areas like the Gourbassi North West discovery. We expect a busy 2022 as we work towards a 20,000 metre plus drill program with high expectations of the results.”

    Desert Gold's shares are up 3.96% to EUR 0.1025. The market capitalization is currently EUR 15 million, hard to imagine that the valuation will remain so low permanently.

    The price of gold has once again reached a new all-time high, amid a global environment fraught with uncertainty. Driven by geopolitical tensions, simmering inflation fears, and record-high debt levels in many countries, the precious metal continues to take center stage. Central banks are buying more gold than they have in decades, while investors are rushing into physical gold, ETFs, and mining stocks.

    There are many emerging economies. However, Suriname has some decisive advantages: the Guiana Shield rock formation runs through the country and offers ideal conditions, especially for companies in the gold sector. At the same time, Suriname is synonymous with oil – a giant oil field developed by TotalEnergies in collaboration with a local partner is set to go into production in 2028. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that Suriname's economy will grow by around 55% in the year production begins – reason enough to take a closer look at the country from an investor's perspective and highlight the opportunities it offers.
