The IAA is just around the corner, and e-mobility is faltering - Where is the super battery? BYD, Tesla, Varta and First Phosphate in focus
Professor Ferdinand Dudenhöffer sees electric mobility on the decline. Despite the EU's ban on internal combustion engines from 2035, the switch to electric drive will take even longer than expected. In a recent interview, he sees the declining subsidies as of September 1 of this year as a possible showstopper. The reason: most purchases of e-vehicles are tax-motivated, and the increased interest rates have made expensive electric cars less competitive in leasing models. In addition, there are the technical limitations in safety, range and operating time compared to the mature, fuel-efficient combustion vehicles. So the challenge is to invent clean, efficient and safe battery technology. Where are the opportunities in this highly dynamic industry?

DAX consolidates, Artificial Intelligence stutters and Hydrogen in rebound? Plug Power, First Hydrogen and Nel ASA in focus
The summer has so far not brought much joy to the bulls on the international markets. After a strong NASDAQ performance of plus 30% at the beginning of the year, the tech index is increasingly facing rough waters. Not even the solid earnings of the AI giant NVIDIA could prevent the 1,500-point correction since early July. The German benchmark index DAX 40 also plunged from 16,529 at its high to below 15,800 points. Chart technicians point to the critical zone of 15,450 to 15,650, which the market could approach in the next few days. This is where the continuation of the bull market since September 2022 will be decided. A brief look at the hydrogen sector provides clarity.

Adyen - a warning signal for NVIDIA and Co? Power Nickel as an alternative
Growth is the fuel of the markets. When business is booming, and additional excitement is generated, stocks can turn a small fortune into a large one.
