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?

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.

    When interest rates rise, and the mountains of debt in Western industrialised nations grow ever higher, experience shows that investors view the financial system with increasing unease. The automatic tendency to simply park liquidity in accounts or invest it in government bonds is being called into question. On both sides of the Atlantic, the strain is becoming palpable. While US public finances are suffering from ever-higher interest rates, ailing infrastructure and high energy prices are weighing on Europe's economic potential. This also shines a spotlight on banks, which, as key players in the financial system, serve as a barometer of financial stability. Resourceful investors are already changing their behaviour and turning their attention increasingly to crisis-proof tangible assets such as gold.

    The gold market surged by a whopping 15% in August, reaching as high as USD 4,700 per ounce. The last time such an explosive single-month rise was seen in the gold sector was 27 years ago. The triggers are the fragile US fiscal policy, conflicts in the Middle East and the Fed's expected interest rate cut. Gold companies are benefiting from the high gold price. Leading the way are those operating in West Africa's most promising gold-producing regions. In Mali, calm is returning following the political turmoil. The country increased production by 30% in the first half of the year, while Côte d'Ivoire attracts investors with its stability and rich deposits. Reason enough for us to take a closer look at Newmont, Kobo Resources and B2Gold.
