Newmont, White Metal Resources, Volkswagen: This is where the future is traded
New, "green" trends are turning the raw materials market upside down. The boom in electric mobility means that we need more copper. Other industrial metals are also in demand. Precious metals, such as silver, are moving into focus because of the growing demand for solar and photovoltaic systems. At the same time, central banks around the globe remain relaxed despite rising inflation - this could be water on the mills of gold. We present three stocks and evaluate their opportunities.

First Majestic Silver, Kodiak Copper, Orocobre - Metals for e-mobility offer great growth potential
Tesla, NIO and Polestar, the pioneers of e-mobility. But the global climate crisis and the realization that it can only be combated with the help of a consistent reduction in greenhouse gases has also led traditional car manufacturers to realize that alternative drive concepts are necessary, not least as a result of legal requirements. Electromobility has currently established itself as the most promising option. Manufacturers are now hastily trying to steer their product development in this direction and are making announcements about the end of the internal combustion engine: Jaguar wants to phase out the engine by 2025. Fiat, Volvo and Ford have announced the end of the engine by 2030. VW has set the period between 2033 and 2035 as its target, at least for Europe, and Audi wants to phase out entirely by then. Mercedes also has a similar date in mind. However, all e-cars have one thing in common: they are very hungry for raw materials. An e-car requires about four times as much copper as a combustion engine. Consumption of gold and silver (onboard electronics) and lithium (batteries) will also increase significantly.

Alibaba, Memiontec, MorphoSys - Now the rally after the sell-off!
The regulator's pressure is getting bigger and bigger. China has tightened the thumbscrews on technology giants and especially their online education companies - triggering a stock market quake on its own stock market. In some cases, well-known tech stocks lost double digits, even though the affected areas only affect fractions of annual sales. Government regulation of the USD 100 billion-plus education market is likely to weaken confidence in China's stock markets for the long term. And the fact that China's trade relations with the US have also reached a low point does not make things any better. Are there still opportunities?

JinkoSolar, Carnavale Resources, BASF - Beware of shortages!
The change from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources due to climate change means that raw materials such as copper, lithium and nickel are increasingly in demand. The increasing demand due to new economic sectors such as wind power, electromobility or photovoltaics is offset by an extremely scarce supply. The result is sharply rising prices and an expected shortage in the coming years. In addition, the trade conflict with China is visibly worsening the shortage. The primary beneficiaries of this dilemma are commodity producers who can at least partially cover the supply deficit outside the Middle Kingdom.

Blackrock Silver, K+S, Barrick Gold - China first!
The Chinese government is demonstrating with all its might who has the last word. The regulation of industries and business models, which, as recently seen in the Chinese education sector, destroys the existence of companies and has weighed heavily on Chinese stocks in recent days. If the situation continues to escalate, it could easily negatively color the world's stock markets' mood. That is when it is worth looking at precious metals stocks, as they usually benefit disproportionately from rising commodity prices in times of crisis. Who will come out on top?

Alibaba, Kainantu Resources, Yamana Gold: Asian Investments? Here is how it goes!
Asia is the boom region par excellence. However, China, in particular, has weakened in recent months. For years, China was considered an anchor of stability for the region - and even the world. Since February, however, Chinese shares have lost around EUR 1 trillion in market value. The market is speculating about US capital controls, which could hit China in particular. The restructuring of China's education system, which many private providers are suffering from, is unsettling. We explain why long-term investors need not fear.

Commerzbank, Aztec Minerals, MorphoSys - Save yourself!
The fear of rapidly rising interest rates was taken away from investors at the past meetings of the central banks. In addition to the ECB's change in monetary policy strategy, where the inflation target of "below or close to 2%" was set aside, the Federal Reserve is blithely continuing its money printing. Despite a 5.4% increase in prices in June, US monetary watchdogs continue to focus on a growing economy and a robust labor market and continue to hold off on a monetary policy response. These hesitant measures put financial stability at risk - the best conditions for investment in precious metals.

Tencent, Prosus, Troilus Gold, Baidu - The big China slump!
If you compare it with the US stock markets, the stock market in Hong Kong is already almost in free fall. While Europe and the US keep climbing to new highs, the HangSeng has lost a full 20% since February. Is the great Asian rally now over? The reason for the panic on the markets is the ever stronger intervention of the Chinese regulators. These regulators do not want to tolerate the flourishing business of large domestic corporations. More or less unfounded and drastic measures to restrict the tutoring industry have also unsettled investors. We calculate whether the current prices may be considered entry prices.

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Gazprom - Oil companies offer great opportunities
The oil price came under pressure in mid-July following an OPEC meeting. Starting in August, production will be increased by 400,000 barrels per day. This arrangement is to apply initially until September 2022. From May 2022, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Russia all want to increase their production capacities, which would mean additional production of around 1.6 million barrels per day. The price of crude oil subsequently slumped by around USD 10 to USD 65. However, the downward trend was already broken on July 20, and the price has since climbed back up to USD 72. Today we highlight three companies that produce oil.
