Auxico Resources, BYD, Nordex - Energy transition in danger: shortage of critical raw materials
The energy transition, i.e. the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon and renewable energy supply, is an important step in combating the climate crisis. However, some critical raw materials are needed for the expansion of renewable energies and whose scarcity can pose a threat to the energy transition. These include, for example, rare earths, cobalt and lithium, which are used in the manufacture of solar panels, wind turbines and electric cars. In this context, one should not underestimate the current dependence on China, which has a monopoly position, especially in rare earths. We therefore take a look at three companies around the energy transition.

Kodiak Copper, Volkswagen, Nordex - Copper price rises due to positive news from China!
In mid-July, the copper price marked its low for the year. Since then, a slight upward trend has formed, indicating a robust economy. There are as many as three positive signals for copper. First, there is the weakness of the dollar, which is supporting demand for the red gold. Second, China's announcement that it plans to strengthen its economy after easing Corona measures is providing a boost. If China eases its monetary policy, this would strengthen the real estate sector and fuel the hunger for commodities. Third, M&A activity around copper appears to be increasing. Therefore, we look at three companies in the copper space.

Power Nickel, Rock Tech Lithium, BYD - Race to secure critical raw materials
Since the major car manufacturers decided to equip their cars with electric drives, the demand for certain raw materials has skyrocketed. The result has been a sharp rise in prices. Some of the most important raw materials needed for the production of electric cars include lithium, cobalt and nickel. At the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, the world's largest nickel producer proposed to the Canadians that they set up an organization similar to OPEC for nickel. Such moves are a sign that the battle for key EV commodities is growing. So today, we look at one nickel and one lithium company and see how the battery and electric car maker BYD is positioning itself.

Nvidia, Meta Materials, BASF - High-tech stocks in focus
Interest rate hikes this year put pressure on the share price of many high-tech stocks. The NASDAQ has lost over 27% in the last year. It has hit second-tier stocks in particular, but big players such as Amazon, Facebook and Google have also lost ground. On December 13, the US inflation figures were lower than expected at 7.1%. Today, Wednesday, the next interest rate decision by the FED is due. Both news could lead the way for the coming weeks, as the NASDAQ has been bottoming out since October.

BioNTech, va-Q-tec, Cardiol Therapeutics, Ambrx Biopharma - Biotech second-line stocks explode
For investors in biotech stocks, 2022 was often a year to forget. After the Corona hype, the market clouded over significantly, in part due to rising interest rates. December is the time of year when investors can make adjustments to their portfolio, thereby reducing their tax burden for the year ahead. This year is no exception, yet three stocks shot up last Friday. That is unusual during tax loss season. We look at the three high flyers and BioNTech, a big player in the biotech sector.

TotalEnergies, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - Energy shares as a booster for the portfolio
Now it is here, the oil embargo against Russia. The oil price was volatile before, and now with the new sanctions, it could get even more chaotic. The International Energy Agency fears that Russia could significantly reduce its oil production. That would cause the supply on the market to drop sharply and the oil price to rise. If there is a global recession, this will reduce demand, but due to the steadily increasing population, the need for oil continues to grow. As of November, there are 8 billion people living on our planet. The supply of oil will remain important in the coming years. We, therefore, take a look at three companies in the sector.

BYD, First Hydrogen, Daimler Truck - Green solutions as a booster for the portfolio
With the climate crisis worsening, the need for viable solutions and systems to reduce emissions is greater than ever. One area that has a major impact on emissions is freight transport. As the demand for freight transportation increases, so does the emissions released into the atmosphere. This not only has a serious impact on the environment but also affects the sustainability of the freight transport industry. So the question is, what kind of drive system will prevail in freight transport? Will it be electric propulsion or hydrogen propulsion with its fuel cells? We take a look at three companies that are focusing on different drive systems.

Almonty Industries, ThyssenKrupp, Varta - Earning from growing tungsten demand
In 2021, 79,000 metric tons of tungsten were mined worldwide from existing mines. In 2015, production was still 89,400 tons. One might think that demand has declined and production has been cut back, but the opposite is true. According to the British Geological Survey report, demand will increase between 3% and 7% per year and will soon exceed available supply. But now, demand could increase significantly in the short term because US Department of Energy DOE researchers have found a way to charge electric cars in 15 minutes. This involves using a molybdenum tungsten niobate alloy as the cathode material instead of graphite. So we take a look at three companies around tungsten.

K+S, Defense Metals, RWE - Profiting from stocks that fight shortcomings
The first supply chain problems occurred during the Corona Pandemic. With the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict, further deficiencies of Western countries were exposed. It has been known for a long time that the US and Europe are dependent on raw materials and energy from Russia and China. The Middle Kingdom, in particular, already has a monopoly on critical raw materials such as rare earths and tungsten. There has been a minor trade war between the US and China for some time now. Russia has supplied both Europe and the US with cheap energy. Now in times of tension, the dependencies are coming out in the open. So today, we look at three stocks that can combat the shortage.
