Uranium, lithium or gold? The climate conference tells us which way to go! BYD, Globex Mining, VW and Mercedes!

  • Mining
  • Uranium
  • Lithium
  • Gold

At the international climate conference in Dubai, several Arab countries sharply criticized and ultimately rejected the global move away from fossil fuels. The move by Western countries is an "aggressive attack", said Kuwaiti Oil Minister Saad Hamad Nasser al-Barrak yesterday, Tuesday. "I am astonished by this extraordinary insistence on depriving people and many countries of their basic source of energy. This approach is racist and colonialist," al-Barrak continued. This means that there will be no decision on a global phase-out of oil and gas with the OPEC states. Therefore, the current World Climate Conference is likely to be inconclusive or conclude with unilateral declarations from the EU. However, there is much to suggest that commodities that positively impact the global climate will remain on the import list of industrialized countries. Which shares should be considered in this mixed situation?

Next lithium boom in 2024? Freyr Battery, Edison Lithium, VW, Mercedes - Where are the 100% gainers?

  • Mining
  • Lithium
  • RareEarths
  • Batteries
  • Electromobility

The year 2024 promises to be highly interesting, that much is certain. The so-called electric boom has not yet taken place, and the falling lithium price of minus 80% in the current year speaks volumes. Of course, major investments such as a relatively expensive electric vehicle depend on the general situation and subsidies. However, neither of these contextual factors bode well. On the contrary, state subsidies are falling, and high inflation is weighing on private household budgets. So why not get the good old diesel through the MOT again? After all, continuing to drive an old vehicle is 100 times more sustainable than buying a new electric vehicle with rare and difficult-to-extract metals. While green thoughts are commendable, the costly construction of so-called gigafactories continues. On the stock market, the question arises: Who will ultimately emerge as the winner?

Power Nickel, Mercedes-Benz, BYD - No electromobility without nickel

  • Mining
  • Nickel
  • Batteries
  • renewableenergies
  • Electromobility

Nickel has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years and has become a key component of electromobility. While the demand for environmentally friendly vehicles is steadily increasing, nickel is becoming increasingly important as an indispensable component in batteries. Nickel contributes to achieving higher energy density in batteries, which translates into greater driving range. It also allows for a reduction in the amount of cobalt in the batteries, making electric vehicles even more environmentally friendly. Therefore, we look at a future nickel producer and analyze Mercedes-Benz and BYD in terms of opportunities and risks.

Canada's First Phosphate Corp. has secured USD 170 million in potential financing from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) to advance its ambitious plans to create a strategic reserve of purified phosphoric acid in the North American lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery market. FREYR Battery is also pushing into the US market, moving forward with the merger of its Delaware subsidiary. In Germany, road tolls will be introduced as a CO2 tax starting December 1, 2023. Mercedes-Benz is not fully reimbursing the tolls to its haulers. On the contrary, they have something truly monumental in mind...

Cars still play a significant role in Germany. Many households have two vehicles, some even more. However, sales of new cars have weakened recently - the question of whether to buy a combustion engine or an electric vehicle, along with inflation, have deterred many buyers. German brand manufacturers are now being attracted to the US. There, they are enticed by subsidies and an intact market. Find out what the latest plans of Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and others entail and which relatively unknown company could benefit.

Mercedes-Benz, Manuka Resources, Nordex - How vanadium is advancing the energy transition

  • Mining
  • Vanadium
  • renewableenergies
  • Electromobility

Vanadium, a chemical element, plays a vital role in numerous industries, with particularly high demand in the wind energy and electric vehicle sectors. Its exceptional properties make it an ideal choice for these industries. As a metal alloy, vanadium significantly increases the strength and durability of steel, making it the perfect material for manufacturing wind turbines and electric vehicles. In addition, vanadium is used in batteries to provide higher energy density and longer life. Vanadium is, therefore, increasingly recognized as a crucial raw material for shaping the future of energy and mobility supply.

Raw materials war - is China getting serious? BASF, Mercedes-Benz, Almonty Industries

  • Mining
  • Tungsten
  • Electromobility
  • rawmaterials

Energy transition, smartphones, semiconductors, armaments and more are driving our hunger for critical raw materials. But woe betide if China gets serious and severely restricts the export of critical raw materials. There is already a foretaste: the minerals gallium and germanium can no longer be exported without Beijing's approval. China is by far the leading producer of critical raw materials and rare earths. The EU gets 71% of its gallium and 45% of its germanium from China. So it urgently needs alternative suppliers. In the case of tungsten, Almonty Industries could provide supply. The Company is on the verge of starting operations at a huge mine in South Korea. From 2024, sales and profits are expected to climb sharply. Mercedes could also benefit from this. The Stuttgart-based company has just announced plans to invest billions more in electromobility. BASF, on the other hand, is going straight to China.
