BP, Deutsche Rohstoff, Encavis - Is that it?
Nothing works without energy. But the world also needs to keep an eye on resource extraction and climate protection. ESG is a big investment topic. Even if the ideal target includes primarily renewable energy, that is simply out of touch with reality. Oil and gas producers are an attractive investment due to the high prices of the extracted raw materials. When will the next price jump come?

Pure Extraction, BallardPower, JinkoSolar, Siemens Energy - The makers of the future!
The most efficient ways to generate energy are being discussed almost daily. With nearly 8 billion people on the planet, we need to put energy-intensive mobility on a viable and sustainable footing. The shift to post-industrial economies and rapid changes in information technologies, for example, have greatly simplified the coordination of work. In terms of jobs, there is potential for greater flexibility and dispersion, according to Eurostat. The relationship between home and workplace is being redefined. Mobility and energy concepts that adapt to the new forms of work and production are therefore in demand.

Defense Metals, Varta, Nordex - Scarce metals are the new gold!
Whether gallium, chromium or rare earths - many metals are indispensable for modern technology. Where supply bottlenecks or shortages threaten, researchers have now determined the criticality of 62 elements in the most comprehensive analysis to date. As it shows, the supply risk is particularly high for the metals needed for the highly specialized tasks in high-tech devices. Iron, copper, nickel and tin, and almost all other metals of the periodic table, make our modern civilization possible. Most technical applications would not exist without them - from cars and computers to televisions and cell phones. How do companies deal with fragile supply chains and shortages?

SAP, White Metal Resources, Nokia - Markets facing a decision
The global economy is celebrating a turnaround, and corporate profits are bubbling. Consumer spending is jumping due to austerity during the Corona lockdowns. In addition, growth is fueled by billions of dollars in infrastructure projects from policymakers. Golden times for the stock markets, if it were not for concerns about rampant inflation. According to the Labor Department, consumer prices in the USA rose by 0.9% to 5.4% in June. It is the most significant price increase since August 2008. The FED is being challenged.

Newmont, Troilus Gold, Steinhoff: How much substance is needed?
Rising prices, ever higher national debts - many people are shifting parts of their savings into gold because of this. At first glance, that sounds plausible. Gold has retained its value over thousands of years and has outlasted states and monetary systems. But investors should not just assume the worst. While physical gold paired with silver is a good alternative in the biggest crisis, bars and coins show weakness when things don't end up quite so bad. If only a little inflation threatens and states and governments continue to muddle through in cooperation with central banks, physical holdings are not the best idea. It is here where shares in gold companies can score points. We explain how this works with two examples. Finally, we reject blunt gambling.

K+S, Silver Viper Minerals, First Majestic Silver - Something is happening here!
Whereas in the past central banks were quick to stop rising inflation through a restrictive monetary policy, this has now changed fundamentally. In fact, this is the hour of precious metals. Nevertheless, silver, a precious metal that is becoming increasingly important in industry, has been fluctuating between USD 20 and USD 30 for the past year. Below are three papers that can be used to take advantage of the cyclicality in the commodities sector.

BYD, GSP Resource, Volkswagen - Follow the trend
The future is to become climate-neutral and low-carbon. With the energy concept and the energy turnaround, Germany is phasing out nuclear energy and switching from oil to renewable energies. Today, the entire mobility sector is still highly dependent on oil, but this is now to change as quickly as possible. The car industry has already sung the farewell song of the combustion engine in favor of battery-powered vehicles. But we are only at the beginning of long-term development.

Enapter, NEL, Plug Power, FuelCell - Hydrogen under cross-examination!
The sharp rise in prices for heating energy and fuels keeps Germany's inflation rate at a high level. With an increase of 2.3% compared to the same month last year, inflation slowed slightly in June, but it had risen in each of the previous five months, reaching 2.5% in May, the highest level in almost 10 years. The efficient production of hydrogen and its industrial utilization would make our energy supply affordable and environmentally sustainable in the long term. Unfortunately, current technologies are still costly and not suitable for mass production. However, hydrogen remains a hot topic on the stock market. We take a look at the main actors in the H2 thriller.

Cardiol Therapeutics, CureVac, Bayer - Where is the journey heading?
One might think that the pharmaceutical industry is the big winner of the Corona Crisis. However, according to a study by EY, this is not the case. Sales did increase by an average of 4.4% at the largest pharma companies, a much better result than in many other industries, but compared to 2019, growth actually fell by 8.4%. That is due to the postponement of medical treatments due to the Corona Crisis. The industry benefits from the ever-increasing number of elderly people worldwide and, at the same time, the development of new drugs. As a result, sales and profits have increased even during the crisis. We, therefore, highlight three companies from the pharma sector.

Standard Lithium, Blackrock Silver, NIU: Investing below the radar
Electric cars, wind turbines and solar cells: They all cannot do without critical raw materials. While lithium is closely associated with the boom in consumer electronics and electromobility, silver is familiar as an industrial metal at a second glance. Gold's little brother is still running in step with the best-known of all precious metals. However, analysts, such as those from Commerzbank, emphasize the growing importance of silver as an industrial metal and expect industrial demand for silver to reach record levels. We present three values around new technology and raw materials.
