More and more people are currently being drawn to the stock market. Nevertheless, every investment carries risks. In cooperation with Smartbroker, we present the ten most traded stocks in January 2023. An overview.

If you only leave your money in your checking or money market account, you are theoretically wasting a lot of potential. Because due to the partly persistent phase of zero interest rates, there is hardly any income. In some cases, you even pay extra due to the negative interest rates at financial institutions.

That is why more and more people in Germany are investing in Stocks, ETFs and Funds. According to that German Stock Institute (DAI) several million new custody accounts were opened in 2020 – and the trend is rising.

Digital brokers such as Trade Republic or Smartbroker are particularly popular with young investors. They make it possible to get into stock trading with small investments at very low cost – and from your smartphone.

In general, awareness of financial self-responsibility among the population is increasing. Accordingly, the savings rate at 16 percent, the highest level since reunification.

Most traded stocks in January 2023 in detail

Compared to the previous months, the most traded stocks rotated significantly more in January 2023. Tesla, Amazon and Volkswagen still occupy the top three places. However, there were some changes in the following positions in the ranking.

Rheinmetall on the upswing

The Rheinmetall share stands out among the most traded shares on Smartbroker in January 2023. The so-called “tank deal” between the federal government and Ukraine is likely to play a major role in this. Because: The Bundeswehr has agreed to hand over Leopard tanks to the Ukraine.

Advantage for the Rheinmetall armaments group: The tanks that are being handed over need replacements, with the company contributing cannons and towers, among other things. Rheinmetall has also developed a potential successor to the Leopard 2. The special assets of the Bundeswehr in the amount of 100 billion euros should now also come into play.

Newcomer Microsoft

Nvidia shares fell again in Smartbroker’s ranking of the most traded shares in January 2023. And this despite the fact that the chip developer’s securities increased by more than 30 percent in the past month alone (as of February 6, 2023). The background for the lower trading volume: rather unclear.

Meanwhile, Microsoft stock is on the upswing. And that should be mainly related to the artificial intelligence ChatGPT. Because Microsoft has not only invested another ten billion in the developer company OpenAI, but also integrated the AI ​​software into its Microsoft Teams Premium subscription, among other things.
