First Hydrogen, Volkswagen, Daimler Truck - The unstoppable energy transition, who is winning the race?
Canadian fuel cell manufacturer Ballard Power joins First Hydrogen for LCV test drive. The two companies are cooperating to produce the world's first hydrogen-powered vans. According to expert forecasts, the logistics industry will be worth EUR 13.7 billions by 2027. Change at Volkswagen's premium Audi brand is proceeding rather sluggishly. The regulations imposed by the EU are causing problems for CEO Duesmann, who sees it as unrealistic to implement everything that Brussels demands by 2025. Daimler Truck, on the other hand, is looking forward to a major order that will soon get 1.8 million people in the Hamburg metropolitan region moving. The Hamburg-Holstein transport authority signs a major order.

Alpina Holdings, Vonovia, Credit Suisse - Real estate market booms in Asia, Europe staggers along
The Silicon Valley Bank knockout is also making its rounds on this side of the Atlantic. Credit Suisse shares are currently reeling, sliding 30% lower, after its main shareholder ruled out further support. This helped drag down all European banks. That is not all. The real estate industry across Europe is also trembling as the EU Parliament has passed a resolution for the compulsory renovation of all houses. By 2050, all buildings in Europe are to be climate-neutral. As early as 2028, only buildings that are considered "emission-free" are to be allowed to be built. Existing buildings will have to be refurbished if they are deemed to be in poor condition. That means immense renovation costs for the Vonovia real estate group, which is suspected of corruption. The Singapore-based company Alpina Holdings is in a better position here. The Company builds and manages both public and private properties in the Lion City. Read here what this means for investors.

Tocvan Ventures, JinkoSolar, Commerzbank - With gold and silver towards a real energy turnaround
Gold and silver prices will continue to rise in 2023, as a weaker US dollar and loose monetary policy should drive precious metals higher. There is great joy at Tocvan Ventures in light of the latest drilling results. The team expects the Pilar area to produce similar results to other miners in the region. Precious metals are finding great sales in the solar industry. Investors will learn today the business results of solar panel manufacturer JinkoSolar. The Chinese company has recently been allowed to export to the US again. Commerzbank has to cope with a touch of greenwashing; a district court made a momentous judgement for a subsidiary.

Aspermont, Amazon, Shop Apotheke - These shares embrace digitization!
Companies like the Canadian media company Aspermont are among the pioneers of digitization and are thus miles ahead of their competitors.

The value of successful digitization is also evident in the Shop Apotheke business figures now published. The digital mail-order pharmacy, which is accessible in Europe, is able to score points despite a change in the management board. In the US, Amazon is one step further, launching 24/7 digital patient care operations through One Medical.

Rheinmetall, Defense Metals, BASF - Rearmament in the defense industry, restructuring in the chemical industry
A new chapter can begin for Ukraine's defense. Rheinmetall will supply the country with border surveillance technology. Analysts raise the share price target from EUR 240 to EUR 300. A solution to the conflict with Russia is not in sight, so demand for rare metals urgently needed in armaments is rising all the higher. This is where Defense Metals comes into play. The Canadian explorer has initial data from the crushing samples and can now better estimate the costs for the feasibility study. BASF is also concerned with costs. The Company put its red pen to work and cut 2/3 of its jobs, especially at a site in Germany. A planned agar project in the US has also been suspended until further notice.

Manuka Resources, FREYR Battery, Alibaba - Silver demand accelerates globally, high pace is required
Global demand for silver and iron is being generated by both conventional industrial needs, such as construction and technology, and progress toward clean energy generation and related commodities, such as batteries and electric vehicles. Australia's Manuka Resources reports an impressive initial mineral resource of 3.2 billion tons grading 0.05% vanadium at its Taranaki VTM iron sands project in New Zealand. This contains 1.6 million tons of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), making it one of the most extensive vanadium deposits in the world. Vanadium is used for the production of high-performance batteries. This is where FREYR Battery comes into play. The Norwegian company reported its quarterly results and is on schedule with the construction of its in-house battery production facility. Top dog Alibaba also scored a win, as special data on the Chinese market has investors sitting up and taking notice...

dynaCERT, Mercedes-Benz, BYD - Is hydrogen the better alternative to electromobility?
New government measures are driving the shift from fossil fuels to renewables. While some of these measures defy logic (combustion car ban in the EU in 2023), others are leading to market changes that have a meaningful impact. The US Inflation Reduction Act, for example, is funneling money into the expansion of a nationwide hydrogen fueling station infrastructure. This is excellent news for the logistics industry, as tough cost calculations will determine the pros and cons of new forms of propulsion for heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles. This represents a market opportunity for the Canadian company dynaCERT, which provides switchable hydrogen drives. Hydrogen weighs less than electric batteries, and on the road, every kilogram counts for the freight. The Mercedes-Benz Group, including Daimer Truck AG, is also betting on hydrogen. China competitor BYD, meanwhile, has to reckon with cancellations for EV batteries because the devil is in the details here.

Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall and Amazon - The profiteers of the crises
South Korea is one of the few democratic countries with high tungsten deposits. Almonty Industries is a mining company with unbeatable expertise, bringing a disused tungsten mine in South Korea back to life. The metal is urgently needed in the defense, aerospace and automotive industries. Until now, China and Russia have dominated the tungsten market. But the last 24 months have shown how fragile supply chains and democracies can be. Alternatives are needed. One profiteer of the crisis is the arms company Rheinmetall. Since Russia launched its war of aggression in Ukraine, the share price has shot up. Amazon employees are currently experiencing the exact opposite. Their wages are supported partly by share packages - and thus, a disaster could occur in 2023.

Altech Advanced Materials, Volkswagen, BASF - Innovative strength pushes growth
In the hunt for the precious raw materials needed for the energy transition, carmaker Volkswagen now has Canada on its radar. There, the Company wants to extract the lithium it so urgently needs for electric batteries. The Company would do well to reorganize its supply chains, and the EU is pushing for a CO2-friendly transformation of the automotive industry. The Company Altech Advanced Materials promises a higher performance of electric batteries. Its innovative technology allows electric batteries to perform better, which is ideal for the energy turnaround demanded by politicians. Chemical giant BASF is experiencing that politics cannot always be to the advantage of its own company. Once again, it is the EU that wants to ban a product...
