Noram Lithium, Varta, Allkem - Profit from the growing hunger for lithium!
Along with cobalt and manganese, lithium is one of the raw materials of the mobility revolution. The silvery white-grey light metal is needed to produce rechargeable batteries with a very high energy density, such as those used in electric cars. Demand is growing enormously, but there is insufficient production capacity. As a result of this constellation, the price of battery-grade lithium carbonate has risen fivefold in the last year and a half. And it does not look like the situation will ease. Mining group Rio Tinto warns that in the future, only 15% of the supply deficit of battery-grade lithium carbonate can be extracted from existing projects. Lithium producers and explorers will benefit from these conditions. Which lithium stock will make the running this year?

With disruptions in the geopolitical situation or an economic slowdown, a sharp rise in inflation and negative real returns could quickly make precious metals en vogue again. With which stocks can investors position themselves successfully against this background?
