Sustainability has long been more than just a buzzword. The former core issue of the Greens has now reached all parties. Today, it seems clear that resources should be used intelligently. It is also essential to use regenerative energy. But to manufacture solar panels and store the green electricity generated in this way, raw materials are necessary. Those who have secured these can hope for good business.

    JinkoSolar: Quality prevails

    Good business is also in store for the Chinese solar module manufacturer JinkoSolar. The Company recently reported a 25% yield for one of its modules - a world record. JinkoSolar also scores in terms of longevity. The German testing Company DEKRA has issued a certificate to the double-glass module Tiger Pro, attesting to the module's longevity even under challenging conditions. With high performance and quality, the signs are good that JinkoSolar will maintain and expand its already very good market position.

    Such a perspective is also noticeable on the market: In the past five trading days alone, the JinkoSolar share climbed by almost 20%. Although there is still a loss of around 30% on a three-month horizon, this must be seen in the context of the long-term upward trend. In one year, the share has gained more than 120%. JinkoSolar is considered the world market leader in solar modules. Since many investments in renewable energies are expected in the coming years, including a solar obligation for new buildings in Germany, the business of the Chinese should continue to boom for a long time.

    The share is preparing to leave the medium-term downward trend. However, it is not yet possible to foresee where the journey will lead.

    BYD: Where is the journey heading?

    The outlook for BYD is also somewhat opaque. The Chinese are already very well positioned in the manufacture of batteries for electric cars and their production. BYD also has its semiconductor division, which helps the Company in the short term - after all, chips are in short supply right now. In the long term, BYD's chip division also arouses imagination, especially concerning autonomous driving and the growing importance of sensor technology and networking in the automotive industry. But what is the stock doing?

    Over the past five days, the stock has posted double-digit gains. BYD is thus preparing to leave the weak phase of the past months behind. The Company announced the IPO of its chip division but simultaneously told that it wants to retain control. This move was received very positively by the market, as BYD is raising capital in this way without giving up its own chip manufacturing advantages. The Company is well-positioned for the long term. However, there is one downside: Even the Chinese find brands such as Volkswagen more attractive, so whether BYD will become a major carmaker in the long term and globally is not yet clear.

    SunMirrror: Many critical metals in just one Company

    Regardless of what happens with BYD or JinkoSolar in the long term, the Swiss Company SunMirror is ideally placed to profit from renewable energy and electromobility developments. SunMirror has focused on the development of raw material projects that are essential for these future technologies: Lithium, tin, nickel, iron ore and also gold. SunMirror operates in Australia and is advancing its three projects there step by step. The analysts of Sphene Capital attest the share potential of up to EUR 174.30.

    In the long term, the share could go even further up: SunMirror recently successfully raised EUR 10 million through a convertible bond. This capital could also flow into new projects. The thrust of the Swiss is promising: critical metals are in demand, and the need for these metals is even more likely to increase in the coming years. Globally, climate protection is a major issue, and the USA, a powerful player, has now even become the spearhead in the fight against climate change. More consistent climate targets are, therefore, very likely. The beneficiaries will be innovative companies with good products and commodity companies, such as SunMirror.

    Software giants are longing for a new gold rush! SAP, ServiceNow, TeamViewer, and DRC Gold are stepping into the spotlight

    The stock market is currently showing no mercy. Against a backdrop of growing belligerence, excessive debt, and rising inflation, growth stocks are repeatedly making a run toward higher valuations. "Asset inflation" is the buzzword. It actually reached a short-term peak in early June with the IPO of Elon Musk's marvel, "SpaceX." Since then, the market has been moving sideways, and occasionally downward, amid high volatility. While chip stocks celebrated an explosive summer rally, software stocks like SAP, TeamViewer, and ServiceNow took a steep nosedive. Are there already serious hopes for a rebound here? Even gold, which had been performing exceptionally well, reaching a new all-time high of over USD 5,400 in January, came under pressure. DRC Gold, an advanced explorer on Africa's east coast, is reporting good progress and is weathering the correction in the precious metals sector well, as evidenced by its share price performance. It is hard to imagine where the market might go if investors jump back on the gold bandwagon!

    Gold: Positioning for the Fed with Equinox Gold, Lahontan Gold, and Aya Gold & Silver

    The Federal Reserve's leadership will meet again on September 16, and the outlook remains highly uncertain. Some market analysts expect interest rate hikes. Conversely, however, some anticipate an interest rate cut—their argument: the US midterm elections are coming up in November. Donald J. Trump wants lower interest rates. He has already made this clear to the new Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, in a post on Truth Social. Our view is straightforward: low interest rates are bullish for the stock market. The past 18 months have shown that the President places considerable importance on supporting financial markets. The decision is likely to be a close one, however, and keeping rates unchanged should not be ruled out, especially since the Fed could still act at its October meeting. Either way, we expect interest rates to fall. By then at the latest, the price of gold should start to recover. For weeks, the precious metal has traded in a narrow range around USD 4,000 per ounce. Positive signals from the Fed could provide the catalyst for a breakout. For investors, however, gold mining stocks often offer greater upside than the metal itself. That is why we are taking a closer look at Equinox Gold, Lahontan Gold, and Aya Gold & Silver.

    Benefit from the scarcity of energy and raw materials through Occidental Petroleum, Globex Mining, and MP Materials

    The days of speculating on commodity prices are over. Anyone betting on energy and metals today must understand the underlying power dynamics. Who is supplying, who is processing, and who still has access to the key production sites in an era of bloc formation and sanctions? Demand for strategic goods is skyrocketing, while investment in new mines and refineries has stagnated for years. This gap between political will and physical production limits opens up a new playing field for investors. Three completely different business models demonstrate how to capitalize on this trend: Occidental Petroleum, Globex Mining, and MP Materials.
