Mercedes-Benz, Edison Lithium, K+S - Strong gains from the start
Mercedes-Benz AG scores with a good return on cars and vans in the first quarter of this year. Luxury and electric, in particular, are selling like hotcakes. Despite the pandemic, delivery problems and the lapsed Russian business, shareholders are benefiting from the current share price. To meet the demand for electromobility, areas with mineral resources such as lithium and cobalt are becoming increasingly valuable. These metals are used in batteries to power electric vehicles. The fertilizer company K+S is also providing drive in the agricultural sector. With its products, farmers generate almost twice as much crop yield. However, this disturbs a delicate balance, prompting the German Federal Ministry of Research and Education to take action.

Chip industry booming: What are Mercedes partners BrainChip, Nvidia and Infineon doing?
Chip stocks are having a hard time at the moment, although the market is undersupplied and will probably remain so for some time. This was also highlighted by figures from semiconductor equipment supplier ASML. Orders at the world's largest supplier of lithography systems to semiconductor manufacturers were around EUR 7 billion in the first three months of 2022, well above market expectations. In addition, ASML has indicated targets through 2025. The Company intends to expand production capacities in view of the high demand. Mercedes partner BrainChip should also benefit from these positive industry prospects. And, of course, industry heavyweights such as Nvidia and Infineon.

Stocks for bargain hunters: Mercedes-Benz, Power Nickel, Netflix
Share prices are falling. The mix of inflation, the war in Ukraine and the Corona problem in China is weighing on share prices. Even positive economic data in the form of a friendly ifo Business Climate Index does not help. For savvy bargain hunters, falling prices in the face of friendly economic data may even be a good sign. If the market exaggerates on the downside, there could be opportunities in quality companies. We take a closer look at three stocks.

Nevada Copper, Mercedes-Benz, BYD - Price increase for copper expected
The battle for raw material supply chains is intensifying in light of the Ukraine crisis. Copper as a raw material is an indispensable component for electric vehicles. According to Goldman Sachs, due to the geopolitical upheavals, the price of copper may rise rapidly in the coming months. To ensure smooth supply chains, the Company is revisiting Cold War strategies and focusing on local resources. Nevada Copper, a copper supplier in the US, can support Mercedes-Benz's new battery plant. In China, Tesla competitor BYD Electronics is also working with the Stuttgart-based automotive giant to test the luxury segment.

Mercedes-Benz Group, Phoenix Copper, JinkoSolar: Learning from history
Investors who kept a cool head after the outbreak of the Corona pandemic in March 2020 were able to enjoy high profits in the months that followed. Immediately after the outbreak began, share prices around the world plummeted. The media proclaimed the end of the economy as we know it. While this was partly true, the markets' conclusions were initially wrong. Instead of economic decline, scarcity determined prices - until today. Even now, the markets are painting a gloomy scenario, right up to the apocalypse. It looks as if supply and demand will ultimately determine prices after all. For investors with a sharp focus and clear understanding, this can be an opportunity. We present three shares.

Panic oil price USD 130: Volkswagen, Porsche, Nevada Copper, Mercedes - Next push for e-mobility!
The panic moves in the oil and gas markets are making a trend increasingly apparent: For raw material importers, the historical dependence on fossil fuels is becoming unaffordable. Consequently, alternative energy and drive concepts are enjoying a renaissance, and GreenTech stocks are already the big winners. The same applies to copper: It is an essential metal for the high-tech industry due to its extreme conductivity. There has been a supply deficit since 2019, and the price has already quintupled in the years 2020 to early 2022. Who will close the dramatic gap?

BYD, Nevada Copper, Mercedes-Benz Group: Price shock also at the charging station
The fact that prices at gas pumps are constantly rising is nothing new for drivers. But with the price shock now also looming at charging stations, it is a new experience for many e-car drivers. Providers of charging infrastructures, such as EnBW, Tesla, Enel and Stadtwerke München, have raised their prices in recent months, in some cases significantly: The kilowatt-hour has become between 8% and 82% more expensive. What will happen now?

Daimler, Yorkton Ventures, Volkswagen: Is the lithium takeover merry-go-round about to start?
When Tesla knocks on the door, you don't keep your guest waiting long, even if the visit is spontaneous. Usually, the e-car maker brings solid plans and the necessary means to implement them. That is what happened recently with Liontown Resources. The small Australian Company plans to start commercial production by 2025. Tesla wants to get its foot in the door today and has worked out an agreement that allows for a flexible order volume, depending on how much lithium-spodumene concentrate Liontown can deliver. The deal shows even small lithium companies are in the sights of the big players. We present three stocks that could also fit the picture.

Deutsche Bank, Mercedes-Benz, Memiontec: Investors take action
Tech is out. In uncertain times, investors turn to conservative stocks. This is the case at present. The environment is characterized by the Ukraine crisis, high inflation and rising interest rates. Numerous high-flyers from the technology sector have been brought back down to earth. At the same time, conservative shares from the financial sector, for example, are making a comeback. Deutsche Bank is one of them. The share has made significant gains in recent weeks. The same applies to the shares of Mercedes-Benz, where analysts see further room for improvement. In addition, the automotive sector is benefiting from a failed emergency motion by the Green Party. In recent weeks, water treatment specialist Memiontec has also held up well, and investors speculate on an upward breakout.

Almonty Industries, Mercedes-Benz Group, Varta - Highs and lows, what to do?
Without raw materials, life in many sectors of the economy comes to a standstill. The economically most important raw materials with a high supply risk are referred to as critical raw materials. The European Commission counts 30 elements in this group, including tungsten and lithium. Demand rising sharply above supply has caused prices to increase significantly for some time. Raw material producers are on the winning side. Buyers have to do their homework.
