JinkoSolar, Defense Metals, Daimler - Sustainability only with rare earths
Rare earths are found in almost all new technologies such as smartphones, e-cars, etc. The leading supplier is China. Rare earths occur more often than one might think, but mining them is rarely economically profitable. Thus, China has a kind of monopoly position. With the trade dispute between the US and China brewing, more people realize that Western countries should seek alternative access to rare earths. If China limits exports, it would quickly lead to shortages. Accumulators or batteries would soon become scarce. Due to sustainability issues, the increased demand can already be seen in the increased prices for rare earths.

Strong performance by Nel ASA, Defense Metals and JinkoSolar
The German parliamentary elections are on September 26. Climate protection is at the center of most political parties' election programs. The Greens are going out on a limb, aiming to achieve CO2 neutrality as early as 2035. However, it seems more than questionable whether these ambitious promises can actually be put into practice. The scarcity of raw materials such as copper, lithium and rare earth metals means a wide gap between aspiration and reality.

Rheinmetall, Defense Metals, NEL: What can work in this market
The current events in Afghanistan show that countries will have to invest in their defense in the future in order to meet geostrategic requirements. Currently, the Bundeswehr is fighting tooth and nail against bureaucracy and time to save as many Germans or local forces and their families as possible from the Taliban. Modern equipment is just as necessary for this as efficient decision-making chains. In this article, we look at two defense-related companies and conclude with the current situation with NEL's hydrogen stock.

Standard Lithium, Defense Metals, Gazprom - This bottleneck costs real money!
Electromobility is becoming increasingly important for the energy transition in transportation. And with it the research, development and production of batteries, especially in Germany as a high-tech location. In addition to performance, the sustainability of batteries plays a decisive role. In particular, this includes fair and sustainable sourcing of raw materials, a high proportion of renewable energies, and optimal energy efficiency in production. Completing the battery cycle would be intelligent reuse and a closed resource cycle through recycling. Some metals on this earth are extremely scarce and rarely occur in nature. They take on a strategic dimension in the context of climate protection.

Defense Metals, BYD, Nordex - Buy the trend!
Whether a laptop, cell phone, electric motor or wind turbine - rare earths are an indispensable raw material for producing all these goods. The megatrends of electromobility and renewable energies, in particular, are fuelling demand. Motors for electric vehicles and generators for wind power plants require powerful permanent magnets, and this is where rare earths such as neodymium and dysprosium come into play. We show you how to profit from this trend.

Aixtron, Defense Metals, Nordex - Strong growth
The global economic recovery and rising investment in more climate-friendly energy infrastructure are driving higher commodity prices amid supply chain disruptions. Shortages of industrial metals, which are urgently needed for climate change, are likely to materialize further in the coming years. The swelling trade conflict between the USA and China will exacerbate this significantly. There is a threat of massive bottlenecks in production and sharply rising prices for the respective materials.

Defense Metals, Varta, Nordex - Scarce metals are the new gold!
Whether gallium, chromium or rare earths - many metals are indispensable for modern technology. Where supply bottlenecks or shortages threaten, researchers have now determined the criticality of 62 elements in the most comprehensive analysis to date. As it shows, the supply risk is particularly high for the metals needed for the highly specialized tasks in high-tech devices. Iron, copper, nickel and tin, and almost all other metals of the periodic table, make our modern civilization possible. Most technical applications would not exist without them - from cars and computers to televisions and cell phones. How do companies deal with fragile supply chains and shortages?

Infineon, Nvidia, BMW, Defense Metals - Exploding commodity prices ahead!
The explosion in commodity prices is foreseeable. Due to the fatal misjudgment of the governments on how the COVID pandemic will develop, the economies are currently in a supply shock. The months-long lockdowns have broken off some supply chains, and the breakdown in the Suez Canal has further aggravated the situation. Ever Given's wrecked ship is still stuck in the Egyptian Bitter Lake with 20,000 containers on board. Whether in cell phones, electric vehicles, non-fossil power generation and storage, or modern server farms - industrial metals are needed everywhere. For special applications, we even need rare earths, which makes it highly political.

JinkoSolar, Defense Metals, Gazprom: Values for the yield kick
The fight against climate change is an ideological issue in many places. That is why there are bitter opponents of the measures. But clean energy should be in everyone's interest - at least if it is profitable to produce. Many people rightly have reservations about pushing technology onto the market solely based on subsidies. History has shown that this creates the wrong incentives and even restricts the development of technology that could become established in the long term.
