BYD, Fisker, Kodiak Copper, Varta: Nothing works without Copper!
Electromobility is becoming increasingly crucial for the energy transition in transportation. And with it the research, development and production of drives, batteries and components. In addition to electricity storage, however, vehicle cabling and the assembly of e-components are also coming to the fore. Today, an electric vehicle requires three to four times the amount of copper as it did 20 years ago, plus the demand in industrial manufacturing processes. The earth's deposits are exhaustible, and copper, in particular, is pretty much on the edge. A spot price of just under USD 10,000 per kilo clearly shows how the markets are processing this situation. Rising prices!

GSP Resource, Varta, Rio Tinto - The post-fossil age has begun
The phase-out of fossil fuels is already underway. If we want to do something for the climate, this step is unavoidable. The phase-out is to be offset either by nuclear power or renewable energies. In Germany, we are saying goodbye to both nuclear power and fossil fuels. At the same time, the introduction of renewable energies means that more metals are now needed. Whether silver, rare earths, nickel, cobalt or copper - these metals are necessary for technological progress. Copper, in particular, is essential for electrification, and demand is rising steadily. That is due to the growing sales of electric cars, for which more copper is needed than for combustion engines. Today we look at three companies that have a lot to do with copper.

Barrick Gold, Tembo Gold, Varta - Where is the crisis gold rally?
A lot is going on in the markets. Asia is stumbling; here, the real estate markets had recently euphorically soared, now there are serious concerns. China has been struggling with high vacancy rates in its industrial cities since the pandemic broke out. People have fled the city for fear of infection and returned to the countryside. The resulting de-leveraging puts downward pressure on prices and, ultimately, with interest rates rising slightly, causing significant skewing in a highly leveraged shadow banking world. The imbalance of China Evergrande shows these excesses in pure form. Yesterday, there were wild price falls. The problem: Evergrande has to make high-interest payments, which are due this week. Some investors think back to Lehman Brothers and press the sell button first. What will the Fed say tomorrow in the USA on this subject?

Triumph Gold, First Majestic, Varta - Inflation is getting worse than we think - How to safeguard your assets!
Inflation in the US eased slightly in August from July's 5.4% to 5.3%. Nevertheless, this is a high value. It would be premature to derive a trend reversal from this. Far more dramatic are the rates of inflation in wholesale prices in Germany. As the Federal Statistical Office recently reported, these rose by 12.3% year-on-year in August. It was the most substantial increase since October 1974, during the first oil crisis. Investors should invest in tangible assets such as shares, real estate, commodities, or precious metals to protect their assets. Who offers the best risk-reward ratio?

Daimler, Aztec Minerals, Varta: How growth investments succeed
New technologies are currently transforming the economy. The triumphant advance of electric cars is a done deal, and even buildings will soon be largely climate-neutral. First and foremost, carmakers, manufacturers of photovoltaic systems and energy storage systems are driving this development. But other beneficiaries are currently receiving little attention from the market. We present three stocks.

BYD, Teck Resources, GSP Resource, Varta - Commodity rally three point zero!
There is a growing concern in the German economy that rapidly rising raw material prices will jeopardize the upswing in the future. Thus, the head of the Munich-based economic research institute Ifo, Clemens Fuest, warns: "If commodity prices continue to rise significantly across the board in the coming years, this could become a problem." He is referring to the upswing because supply chains are already severely disrupted by the pandemic. The temporary failure of the Suez Canal has even led to a delay of several months in the delivery of high-tech products.

Varta, EuroSports Global, BYD: New growth opportunities around e-mobility
The future is electric - at least for cars and bicycles. The pedelec boom is ensuring that bike stores are working overtime and have been busy for months. Thanks to the e-motor, entirely new customer groups are suddenly interested in aerodynamic frames, comfortable carbon seatposts or trendy paint finishes. What is already underway in the bicycle sector could also be in store for motorcycles. In Asia, electric bikes with powerful acceleration are all the rage. We take a look at three stocks related to the electric boom.

Central African Gold, Nordex, Varta - Performers for the second half of the year!
Climate and energy transition are more than just buzzwords. They affect us all to an ever increasing extent. The production of green energy and the currently also politically favored spread of electric mobility place considerable demands on the availability of raw materials, the sufficient production of green energy and the existence of an area-wide infrastructure. As steering mechanisms, states offer extensive support measures. A market for emission certificates creates incentives as well. It is also important to keep an eye on the development of increasingly stringent ESG standards in the investment sector. Companies that do not do their homework will sooner or later lose out. These three companies have the potential to profit from the energy transition. Who will win the race?

Varta, Nordex, Saturn Oil & Gas - Buy or Sell?
It was a generally positive week on the stock market last week; however, things seem to be more unsettled this week. After the jump above the 16,000 point mark in the DAX, profit-taking is to be expected. On Monday, negative news from Asia weighed in on the mood: In China, the retail and industry's economic data were weaker than expected. In addition, the spread of the Delta variant of the Covid-19 virus is worrying market participants. On the corporate side, analysts are speaking out. Varta, for example, has failed to meet expectations, and the forecast hangs on Apple. In contrast, the shares of Nordex and Saturn Oil & Gas have been recommended as a buy. A 200% price potential beckons.

Alcoa, FYI Resources, Varta, Nordex - Ready for takeoff in the high-tech sector?
The current climate trend makes a necessity obvious - our planet needs relief from CO2 and further investments in sustainable energy generation. Global warming is already well advanced, and we will likely no longer stop the dangerous basic trend. Therefore, the decisive factor for our future actions remains the "impact", i.e. the intensity and quantity of the production of pollutants. Many companies have already taken hold of the baton and are converting their processes, while others are trapped in old operating procedures and are acquiring pollution certificates. The industrial value chain starts with explorers and mining companies, followed by the basic materials industry. We look at some representatives of this supply chain.
