This raw materials latecomer scores with quality: Power Metallic Mines, Albemarle, Ford
Stagnation looms! After the Dutch government replaced the Chinese CEO at chip manufacturer Nexperia, chip deliveries from China to the EU have come to a halt - production stoppages are now a real threat. The supply of critical raw materials is also anything but secure today. China is tightening the reins not only on semiconductors and rare earths. Beyond strict export controls or outright bans, industry insiders report that a multitude of bureaucratic hurdles are making day-to-day operations increasingly difficult. We take a look at how Western mining and industrial companies are adapting to this new environment and explain why Power Metallic Mines has recently moved into the spotlight for many investors.

Indonesia shock for car manufacturers – NISK offers hope: Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Power Metallic Mines
Indonesia is the global hotspot for nickel. According to the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, around 50% of the global supply comes from this Asian country. But recently, the media and NGOs have put the country's "dirty" nickel in the spotlight. Environmental organizations are sounding the alarm: in the mining regions of Sulawesi and the Moluccas, the soil and coastal waters are reportedly contaminated, and in some places the sea is turning red due to mining residues. As reported by German broadcaster ZDF a few weeks ago, Mercedes-Benz also indirectly sources nickel from Indonesia. We take a look at what the consequences of these allegations are and why a promising nickel location may now return to the focus of industry.

Climate Crisis: Copper is the new oil! BYD, Orestone Mining, Ford, Nio - 100% acceleration in Greentech
At the beginning of May, analysts at Bank of America declared a new "super cycle" for basic and raw materials. What they mean by this is that a whole series of important materials will be in great short supply for years. The prime example is the red metal copper. The price of the industrial metal has almost doubled in the past 12 months. It is currently quoted at around USD 8,350 per tonne, not far from the historic high of USD 10,750. During the pandemic, the metal briefly fell to USD 4,500. Currently, however, forecasts are once again pointing upwards. Bank of America expects the price to more than double again to around USD 18,000 in the next three years. We take a look at some hot stocks.

Almonty Industries, Standard Lithium, Ford Motors: Want a technology pickup?
The Ford F150 is the "American Way of Drive" in its purest form. To this day, this monument to US automotive history is the benchmark for pickups in this category and stands for superior driving pleasure on a grand scale. In the US, the legendary F150 has been one of the best-selling cars in the 2.2-ton and above category for decades. With a total of 34 million units produced worldwide, it ranks second behind the Toyota Corolla. Of course, the green wave will also change things in the USA. It will just take a few more years for Tesla to match Ford's sales figures, as total Tesla global production is far behind Ford's US deliveries, with over 2 million vehicles in 2020 alone. Still, a comparison in the 2020 stock performance is striking, with Ford shares up 14% and Tesla making it to 580%. Which would be a good fit for America: Invest in Tesla and enjoy the F150 cult!
