K+S, First Phosphate, Volkswagen - Phosphate: From fertilizer to high-tech application
Phosphate is an important nutrient for plants and animals and is used in agriculture as a fertilizer. It is also used in the food industry as an additive. Recently, however, the raw material has been needed in the high-tech environment. Battery manufacturers have an increased need for phosphate to produce lithium iron phosphate batteries, which are already used in some electric vehicles. The phosphate content in these batteries contributes to their stability and durability. If this technology becomes standard in all electric vehicles, demand will increase dramatically. So today, we take a look at fertilizer producer K+S, introduce a future producer in First Phosphate, and look at how Volkswagen is progressing in the area of electromobility.

Power Nickel, Mercedes-Benz, BYD - No electromobility without nickel
Nickel has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years and has become a key component of electromobility. While the demand for environmentally friendly vehicles is steadily increasing, nickel is becoming increasingly important as an indispensable component in batteries. Nickel contributes to achieving higher energy density in batteries, which translates into greater driving range. It also allows for a reduction in the amount of cobalt in the batteries, making electric vehicles even more environmentally friendly. Therefore, we look at a future nickel producer and analyze Mercedes-Benz and BYD in terms of opportunities and risks.

Nel ASA, Klimat X Developments, Nvidia - Huge potential in future markets
In today's world, characterized by technological innovation and the constant pursuit of more sustainable solutions, enormous potential for breakthrough developments is opening up in various sectors. Artificial intelligence (AI), hydrogen technology, and carbon credits, in particular, are focused on opportunities that could revolutionize the way we generate energy, manage resources, and combat climate change. These future technologies not only offer the opportunity to reduce environmental impact but also promise significant economic and social benefits. We look at three companies with considerable potential, each covering one of these areas.

Deutsche Bank, Blackrock Silver, SMA Solar - Which share offers the most potential for the portfolio?
The recent speech by the Chairman of the FED had a significant impact on gold and silver prices. There is speculation that the Federal Reserve may adopt a less restrictive stance in its monetary policy. How is Deutsche Bank reacting? Geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, are additionally cited as driving factors for the rise in precious metal prices. The gold-to-silver ratio is around 86 to 1, indicating that gold has performed better than silver so far. There is catch-up potential for silver here. What does this mean for Blackrock Silver? The metal is used in the jewellery industry, electronics production, and the solar industry, which is currently growing strongly. We, therefore, take a look at SMA Solar.

Volkswagen, Altech Advanced Materials, JinkoSolar - Electromobility and Battery Technology: A forward-looking combination
The energy transition is an important topic in today's world. More and more countries are setting themselves the goal of switching their energy supply to renewable sources to combat climate change and create a sustainable future. Energy storage systems play a crucial role in this, especially in the integration of renewable energies into the power grid and supporting electromobility, which depends on rechargeable batteries. There are many exciting developments in this context. Today, we take a look at three companies that stand to benefit from new innovations.

BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, Bayer - Redefining the frontiers of medicine
The biotech and pharmaceutical sector is playing an increasingly important role in our society. This can be attributed primarily to demographic change, as people worldwide are getting older and older. As life expectancy increases, so does the prevalence of age-related diseases such as cancer and heart disease. These two disease categories place a significant burden on healthcare systems and require innovative solutions for diagnosis, treatment and prevention. After Corona, this could be where the next global blockbuster is developed. We look at three interesting candidates.

dynaCERT, BYD, Plug Power - The future is going green
Emissions reduction is a crucial issue in today's world, as climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time. One way to reduce emissions is to use electric or hydrogen powertrains in vehicles. Electric vehicles have gained popularity in recent years because they are emission-free and provide a viable alternative to conventional combustion engine vehicles. However, the necessary infrastructure is not yet available for both technologies. So, intermediate steps are needed to achieve climate targets. Therefore, we look at a company that offers an interim solution and examine the top dogs of electromobility and hydrogen.

ThyssenKrupp, Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall - Good buying opportunities
Today, we are looking at three companies that offer good buying opportunities. For ThyssenKrupp, the recent positive news was that the unions are not demanding a 4-day workweek for the time being. Almonty Industries is benefiting from the fact that tungsten is being used in more and more new technologies. This includes the rising demand for tungsten in electric vehicle batteries. Rheinmetall could be an interesting buy candidate after the setback. Read the article to find out where the strengths of the three candidates lie.

First Phosphate, Volkswagen, Varta - Battle for battery raw materials picks up speed
The global demand for electric vehicles is steadily increasing, driving the need for battery raw materials. However, the battle for these coveted raw materials has political consequences, particularly concerning the strained relations between the US and China. The US has recognized that it is heavily dependent on China for access to key battery raw materials, which has led to tensions between the two countries. The US is working to reduce these dependencies. This is reason enough to examine three companies that rely on battery raw materials.
