Barrick Gold, Globex Mining, Rio Tinto - Commodity supercycle continues in 2023
2022 was the year of energy commodities. Goldman Sachs expects commodities to continue to deliver the best returns for investors in 2023, with increases of over 40%. Goldman Sachs has been predicting a commodity supercycle since late 2020. In 2023, the price of Brent crude oil is forecast to rise to USD 105 per barrel in the last quarter, and the price of copper is forecast to rise from around USD 8,400 to USD 10,050 per ton. The main argument is the low level of investment in the commodity sector, which is unlikely to meet demand. Therefore, today we look at three companies from the commodity sector.

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.
