Cars have a future - Here is how investors can invest: Mercedes-Benz, Altech Advanced Materials, Varta
Mobility is a valuable commodity - despite high fuel prices. Studies show that Germans have continued to drive their cars since the end of February. For some, there is no other choice; for others, independence is too important. If demand for a product or service is so little dependent on price, this is known as low price elasticity of demand. For investors, this insight can be an important orientation that is worth hard cash.

Defense Metals, Nordex, Rheinmetall - The world does not work without rare earths
Even if many people do not know much about the term rare earths, every one of us uses them. Without rare earths, there would be no smartphones, no wind turbines, no solar energy, cars and other high-tech devices. China has a virtual monopoly on rare earths. We first saw what would happen if China stopped supplying rare earths in 2010 when Japan stopped receiving supplies for a month. Prices for products containing rare earths shot up by a factor of 10. For this reason, the raw material also appears on the list of strategic metals in the USA and Europe. The EU plans to present the Raw Materials Act this fall to reduce dependence on China for critical raw materials.

Extreme growth in demand for Ganfeng and Edison Lithium, XPeng and NIO with solid sales figures
The auto industry faces a massive supply problem in the coming years. The reason for this lies in the exploding demand for lithium, an elementary raw material for electromobility. While the lithium market was 33,000t per year globally in 2015, it rose to 85,000t by 2022. By 2030, when the German government plans to have 15 million electric cars on German roads, experts predict an annual demand of up to 400,000t. There is already a clear shortage of supply. The profiteers here are the lithium producers. After a sharp correction in the lithium sector, new opportunities are opening up in the long term.

Biotech blockbusters: BioNTech, XPhyto Therapeutics, Valneva, CureVac - What to expect from these stocks?
Now that we have arrived in summer, the pandemic is weakening, and the media presence of the flu disease is also declining. That means less attention for pure-play vaccine makers, and now investors are asking how perhaps alternative money can be made. Is the pipeline of the protagonists strong enough to attract further investor capital, or will the whole industry go underground for the time being? We try our hand at being a truffle pig and dig beneath the surface. Which biotech stock has something up its sleeve?

BYD on board with Apple? Rebound at Nordex and Defense Metals?
The end of the combustion engine is the next driver of electromobility and thus also of renewable energies. After all, the electricity for e-cars has to come from somewhere. The EU has agreed to ban the sale of diesel and gasoline-powered cars from 2035. That should give further impetus to carmakers like BYD. This is just one of the many good news stories from the Chinese group. In the future, it is reportedly known that it will supply Apple. But from a chart perspective, investors need to pay attention. Nordex also has to be careful not to miss the boat with the competition. To this end, the wind turbine manufacturer has raised fresh capital. Both electromobility and wind and solar technology need selenium earths. And Defense Metals is benefiting from this.

Almonty Industries, Plug Power, BASF - Energy becomes the most valuable asset
Europe is at a crossroads: The energy supply crisis is hitting Germany particularly hard due to its dependence on Russian gas. Alternatives must be found as quickly as possible. In Belgium, a hydrogen plant is being built to make one of the largest industrial ports more CO2-neutral - Plug Power is the development sponsor. BASF is already feeling the gas loss and is changing its strategy. Investors are fleeing the stock despite an 8% dividend. And electric top dog South Korea is also building on economic independence. A metal for nuclear energy is of particular value here - and so is Almonty Industries.

Tocvan Ventures and BYD with outstanding news - TeamViewer plunges into a bottomless pit
The current correction has hit interest-sensitive growth stocks particularly hard. The US technology exchange NASDAQ, for example, has lost around 34% of its value since the beginning of the year and its high of 16,670 points. Investors did not even stop at shares in future technologies such as electromobility. But in contrast to top dog Tesla - Musk's shares have halved in value within six months - Chinese competitor BYD is rushing from one high to the next. There is also strong news from a promising gold and silver exploration company. A gold price that experts expect to be positive in the long term could help the company to outperform.

Rheinmetall on the verge of a breakout, and MAS Gold and K+S with rebound opportunity
Due to the uncertain geopolitical situation regarding the Ukraine conflict and concerns about inflation getting out of hand, the most important stock market indices are again turning downward. Germany's leading index, the DAX, is once again struggling with the psychologically important 13,000-point mark. With the exception of defense stocks, there is downward pressure across the board. Fertilizer manufacturers, which initially benefited particularly from the sanctions against Russia, are also correcting sharply and offering interesting entry opportunities for long-term investors. The precious metals markets are also running into attractive buying zones.

Buy or sell? Nel, Zalando, Aspermont under analyst review
After the heavy losses of the past months, a countermovement seems to be starting at the moment. Whether this will turn into a real summer rally remains to be seen. Buy or sell is the question. Analysts see a price potential of over 50% for Nel ASA. Even though competition from China and India is increasing. Aspermont also appears attractive at the current price level. The latest quarterly figures were positive, and the positioning of the small-cap in the booming commodities sector is promising. At Zalando, analysts react to the profit warning, and the price targets are significantly reduced. Nevertheless, some advise buying the online fashion retailer, but not everyone.

The super battery is coming: Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD, VW - Who will supply it?
In times of energy scarcity, storage is essential in addition to generation. Engineering firms worldwide are currently searching for the "super battery." It should contain fewer pollutants, be rechargeable many times, allow for a high capacity and not cause problems during later disposal. We will not be able to reconcile all of these criteria anytime soon, but in the overall process, even incremental steps are having a significant effect as the energy storage sector evolves into the next trillion-dollar market. Here is a selection of companies that are already making a major contribution.
