CHIPS, WAFERS, AND BATTERIES: TSMC DOMINATES, SILTRONIC STRUGGLES, HPQ SILICON GOES ON THE OFFENSIVE
The global technology industry is facing its greatest test yet. The battle for supremacy in microchips and battery materials has long since taken on a highly explosive geopolitical dimension. While nearly the entire tech sector is dependent on the Taiwanese giant TSMC, the operational hurdles faced by the German wafer specialist Siltronic reveal just how vulnerable Western supply chains really are. But away from the billion-dollar conglomerates, a new generation of challengers is quietly emerging. A prime example is the Canadian cleantech company HPQ Silicon, which is preparing to tackle dependence on Asian raw material monopolies at the root through disruptive plasma technologies.

Between the AI Boom and the Battery Revolution: HPQ Silicon, Siltronic, and Aixtron Are on the Winning Side
The next tech wave is rolling through the stock market, and it could stem from an unassuming raw material of all things: silicon. Silicon is a key component of numerous future-oriented industries, ranging from solar cells and semiconductors to batteries for electric vehicles. While the AI boom is driving demand for high-performance chips to skyrocket, and thus increasing the need for wafers, new battery technologies featuring silicon anodes are also capturing investors' attention. Initial breakthroughs promise significantly higher energy densities and could take electric mobility, drones, and AI applications to a whole new level. This is where the Canadian company HPQ Silicon comes into play with its innovative solutions.

Bayer, Siltronic, XPhyto - is it worthwhile to invest now?
Tuesday began with green lights for most listed companies in Germany. The opinions of analysts and company announcements make the stock prices - or they are driven by the mood of economic data. The Ifo Business Climate Index, for example, rose by 2.2 points to 92.6 points in August 2020 compared to July. The survey data is collected every month from around 9,000 companies and makes it the most important leading indicator in Germany. "The German economy is on course for recovery," Ifo President Clemens Fuest announced. In this context, stocks that still have potential are now exciting.
