JinkoSolar, Kodiak Copper, BASF - Caution: This market will explode!
Due to the energy transition, the raw materials sector is undergoing a historic upheaval. Due to a CO2 reduction in the economy and transport, coal, gas and crude oil will lose importance in the future. The demand for metals such as copper will increase exorbitantly in order to expand the capacities for the generation and storage of renewable energies. Copper is and will remain irreplaceable in the electrification of the global economy due to its chemical properties. In 2020, the supply deficit rose to 560,000 metric tons, the highest in a decade. And transportation electrification is just getting started.

The following three companies are all involved in the circular economy in different ways. Shareholders can also benefit from this.

White Metal Resources, BASF, K+S: How to react to 4% inflation
As reported by Handelsblatt, the German Bundesbank expects an inflation rate of up to 4% by year-end. Within the eurozone, for which the central bank ECB is responsible, it could be well over 2%. This mixed situation is particularly tricky for Germans. While inflation in Germany is already very high, the lower price momentum within the eurozone could ensure that the ECB leaves its money floodgates open for even longer. In the long term, this could encourage inflation to overshoot. How can investors react to this? We present three stocks.

BASF, White Metal Resources, Deutsche Telekom - The winners of future trends
By 2025, there will be around 1.5 billion vehicles on the road worldwide. This figure is alarming since today we have to contend with rising air pollution and the consequences of climate change. However, the energy transition, which is being accelerated more and more by both politics and business, will increasingly require scarce raw materials and novel technologies. These requirements give rise to young companies that will benefit in the long term from rising sales and bubbling profits.

Kodiak Copper, BASF, Varta - Copper study ignored
The International Copper Study Group (ICSG) sees a slight oversupply of the copper market in 2021 and 2022. The main reason for this is said to be dwindling Chinese demand. The demand is decreasing because China is expanding mine production and copper refining by about 3% each. After the study's publication, the price per ton of copper rose again to over USD 10,000. Possibly driven by the news from Chile, which produced 2.2% less copper than last year. Similar news can be heard from other major copper producing countries such as Peru. Copper concentrate supply is low at the moment. We, therefore, look at one copper explorer, one copper producer and one consumer.

Steinhoff International, Aspermont, BASF - Things are moving mightily!
The power of the media as opinion leaders has once again been demonstrated during the Corona Crisis. But the media have changed in recent years. Whereas it used to be enough to announce a "news" item in the daily print edition, nowadays, news outlets are firing from all guns. On social networks like Twitter, YouTube or Facebook, the press is omnipresent and, whether we like it or not, fires us with the most important information throughout the day. The multi-channel strategy will open up new sources of revenue, recently unknown, which will significantly increase the value of companies.

BASF, Saturn Oil & Gas, K+S: Three stocks for a yield kick
Investors who want to add a few yield drivers to their portfolio have several options. In addition to solid blue chips, which offer little share price excitement but steady dividends, investors can also focus on growth stocks and small caps. Although there are always those who categorically rule out growth stocks for cautious investors, this is not entirely true. Those who control risk via position size can also invest speculatively without having to abandon their fundamental strategy.

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, BASF - Fuel for the portfolio: lots of good news!
Opinions on the markets about where the oil price will stand in the short, medium and long term are becoming increasingly diverse. But there is also a lot happening strategically and operationally, which is easily lost in the jumble of information. Last week, British oil giant BP reported that it would reach its planned net debt target much earlier - as early as the first quarter. The highlight: The Group announced that it would again be buying back a large number of shares when it reached its target. How does Moody's rating change fit into the picture with an upgrade for the short-term and a downgrade for the long-term outlook? Below, we will take a closer look at the BP share, BASF's oil and gas shareholding developments and Wintershall Dea and its stock market plans. Also exciting is the opportunity presented by emerging Canadian oil and gas producer Saturn, which could enter a new dimension with a takeover.

BASF, Bayer, Enapter: From top dogs to young guns
When it comes to chemical products or other engineering services, the Germans are not easily outdone. Although emerging companies worldwide are sometimes hyped on the stock market, in practice, the motto is often still: Germany first!
