The future calls for battery metals! BYD, Grid Metals, VW - The international pecking order in e-mobility is reshuffling!
Since Western governments have finally started to get serious about climate protection, the media have focused on the areas of energy, mobility and health. It is clear to all participants that the changes in the world climate will lead to undesirable developments. Glaciers are melting, the earth's temperature is rising, and the oceans are already too warm for many species. Huge investments are being made in renewable power generation and modern mobility solutions, and it requires access to metals. Some companies are making a name for themselves, and shareholders can profit from this.

Mercedes-Benz, Canadian North Resources, Varta - Shortage of battery resources
Electromobility and the energy transition are essential to creating a more sustainable future. However, we need raw materials such as copper, nickel, cobalt and lithium to achieve these goals. These resources are an obstacle for many companies. Therefore, car companies are trying to secure access to these scarce resources to secure supplies for their production. In some cases, they are even developing their own batteries. The best example is Volkswagen, which wants to build 6 battery factories in Europe. So today, we look at Mercedes-Benz, analyze a possible supplier with Canadian North Resources and conclude with Varta, Germany's largest battery manufacturer.

Star Navigation Systems, AMD, Freyr Battery: Where high-tech stocks are shaping the future
This week, there was unrest over the Russian presidential palace in Moscow as two drones reportedly violated the airspace. This makes the monitoring and optimization of airspace even more critical. High-tech companies such as Star Navigation Systems are taking action precisely where Moscow seems to be cutting corners a little too much. Thanks to modern technology, real-time data can be analyzed, and responses can be made accordingly. High-tech also requires the necessary chip and cloud technologies. Investors were thus able to follow AMD's first results this year with excitement. Are they really ahead of their competitor NVIDIA? The latter company finds its use in the new partnership between FREYR Battery and Siemens.

Bayer AG, First Phosphate, Porsche - In the fast lane with the right stock mix
Can sustainability and profitability go hand in hand? When looking at First Phosphate, a company that recently went public, this is true. The Company has found its place in the niche of LFP batteries for the global energy transition. Porsche AG also knows that electromobility is winning the race. The eMacan is selling so well that CFO Meschke has set a target return of 19%. Is that what Bayer's new CEO, Bill Anderson, is thinking? The conglomerate of Consumer Health, Crop Science and Pharma has more potential than the market is currently pricing in.

Buy or sell? TUI, BASF and Defence Therapeutics
BASF share a buy or sell? Analyst opinions on the chemical giant diverge widely. The DAX-listed company has just reported quarterly figures, but it did not provide clarity about the prospects. However, some speculate on a forecast increase. Analysts have not commented on TUI for quite some time. After the turbulence surrounding the capital increase, new impulses are being sought, perhaps through a deal with the German government? There is plenty of impetus for rising prices at Defence Therapeutics. The biotech high-flyer of the past months is increasingly positioning itself as a partner to BioNTech, Moderna and Co - and perhaps even a takeover candidate.

Commerzbank, Blackrock Silver, JinkoSolar - Banking crisis fuels demand for precious metals
May 3 was marked by the decision of the FED. The experts expect this to be the last interest rate hike for the time being. The interest rate increases of the past months have led customers to withdraw their money from the banks, which, however, had put the money into long-term government bonds that had fallen in value. Accordingly, First Republic was the next victim and the assets were sold to JP Morgan. Despite the interest rate hikes, inflation remains at a high level. This is one of the reasons why precious metals such as gold and silver have made significant gains recently. Silver is essential in many industrial sectors, especially in the production of solar panels.

Clear signals at BYD, Globex Mining and Plug Power
The growth rates of electric car companies continue to be enormous, as the recently published sales figures of the Chinese market leader BYD show. The trend will likely continue at least until the end of this decade. According to a forecast by Statista, there will be 116 million electric vehicles worldwide in 2030, representing an increase of 1,800% since 2020. However, the transformation of the transport sector is causing an enormous demand for industrial metals. For some critical raw materials, demand is already outstripping supply.

Lose the German goggles and profit? Plug Power, Myriad Uranium, RWE
Drought in southern Spain, gloomy weather in Germany - that climate change will also make itself felt in 2023 is already apparent now, at the beginning of May. In view of climate change, some authors are already calling for an end to the pursuit of growth. But is that worth striving for, and can it even be implemented in liberal democracies? We shed light on the limits of cuts and where technology could make climate protection possible without cuts.
