Plug Power, Kodiak Copper, NIO - The shortage as an opportunity
Commodity markets are always subject to the forces of supply and demand. The energy transition and the achievement of climate targets pose new challenges for society. With the expansion of electromobility and renewable energies such as wind and hydropower, demand for some mineral raw materials will increase sharply. This is offset by an extremely tight supply and trade conflict with the leading producer China. There is a threat of further rising prices and, to be seen with the current chip shortage, even production losses.

Enapter, NEL, Plug Power, FuelCell - Hydrogen under cross-examination!
The sharp rise in prices for heating energy and fuels keeps Germany's inflation rate at a high level. With an increase of 2.3% compared to the same month last year, inflation slowed slightly in June, but it had risen in each of the previous five months, reaching 2.5% in May, the highest level in almost 10 years. The efficient production of hydrogen and its industrial utilization would make our energy supply affordable and environmentally sustainable in the long term. Unfortunately, current technologies are still costly and not suitable for mass production. However, hydrogen remains a hot topic on the stock market. We take a look at the main actors in the H2 thriller.

BYD, Plug Power, White Metal Resources - Watch out at the platform edge!
At some point, the market must also consolidate! Almost daily, the S&P 500 had climbed to a new high in recent weeks. Despite individual inflation warnings from the central banks, the shares continued to climb blithely: "The trend is your friend!" - and so it is not a big deal to have to give up 2%. The time had come yesterday - investors took cover for the time being. Now it must be seen whether strong trends can withstand a temporary downturn. We look at three interesting stocks.

NEL, Enapter, Plug Power: Three hydrogen stocks - two opinions
Hydrogen is a technology of the future. If renewable energies are used to produce hydrogen, then the energy carrier is even really clean. Especially when it comes to large vehicles, such as ships or trains, hydrogen can show its strengths. Hydrogen can also be used in trucks. Other areas of application include decentralized energy supply. We introduce three companies around hydrogen and explain how to view their respective shares.

NEL, Plug Power, dynaCERT - Hydrogen, here we go again!
What momentum! In just 6 weeks, hydrogen stocks have gained up to 60% again. Of course, those who missed the first wave are happy. Maybe it will work out now with the second one. The framework parameters are suitable because both the EU and Joe Biden have agreed on more hydrogen within the climate targets. Germany's significant contribution to climate protection can create applications in these sectors that operate with low emissions using hydrogen. An important focus in developing a German hydrogen economy and strategy should therefore be the commercialization of applications.

NEL, Plug Power, Royal Helium - Things could get explosive here!
The energy turnaround in Europe is tied to several factors. On the one hand, it is about reducing emissions, especially of harmful climate gases. On the other hand, companies want to leave a green footprint because it is good for the public reputation and opens other doors of refinancing on the investor level. Concerning ESG criteria, we certainly want to attribute ethical, ecological reasons to most companies. Nevertheless, the road to greater climate neutrality is still rocky and cost-intensive for most. Another prerequisite is that substitute materials and environmentally friendly precursors are equally subject to scarcity since supply chains have been broken. Therefore, the pivotal point for climate-oriented business is the factual competence of the "how," then the necessary means, and finally, the material availability.

Plug Power, NEL, Pure Extraction: Hydrogen on hold - here is what's next
Hydrogen is clean and suitable for storing large amounts of energy. Especially around trucks, ships and even airplanes, the technology is under discussion. Moreover, if the hydrogen is produced using renewable energies, the energy source is even essentially climate-neutral. Nevertheless, the sky is not currently full of violins for all hydrogen companies. Why? The competition is growing, and not every area of application is proving to have a promising future.

BYD, Plug Power, Saturn Oil & Gas: Take a close look at the energy transition!
Everyone is talking about electromobility and hydrogen - but what does it look like in reality? There are still many combustion engines in good condition on the roads. Scrapping them cannot be sustainable. The global energy mix also shows that renewable energies are a welcome trend but by no means the rule: As reported by the International Energy Agency, oil accounted for 31.5% of primary energy supply in 2018. It is followed by coal at 26.8%, and gas at 22.8%. Fossil energy sources thus had a share of more than 80% in 2018. These energy sources will still be needed in the coming years.

Nel ASA, Plug Power, Deutsche Rohstoff AG: Oil explosion or hydrogen hype?
Brent prices are going through the roof! The stock markets have to digest their COVID trauma, and China is hoarding oil and other commodities to satisfy the upcoming boom. Many consumers worldwide are waiting for the delivery of their long-ordered products. Problem: Shortages of raw materials and chips are causing massive delivery delays around the globe. Then there were events like the blockade of the Suez Canal or the restrictive stance of OPEC. One would like to keep prices high; at least the Federal Reserve recently sounded the alarm: 5% inflation in a monthly rate! Warning shot or starting trend?

Plug Power, Troilus Gold, TUI - Step on the gas pedal
While the G7 summit agreed almost unnoticed on global taxes to make the big tech companies pay in the respective countries where they made profits, this news practically did not interest the markets at all. On the one hand, this may be because the introduction will still take years; on the other hand, such news takes a while until it has penetrated fully. Currently, one should therefore exercise a little caution with the large tech stocks. Today, we have picked three companies independent of this and whose share prices should rise in the near future, spurred by good news.
