    NewPeak Metals - Flexible in all areas

    By investing in the Australian mining Company NewPeak Metals, investors can benefit in many ways through broad diversification. The experienced management team around CEO David Mason, former SolGold CEO Nick Mather and Neil Stuart, formerly with Cerro Negro and Orocobre, is focused on exploring promising gold deposits. In addition, the Company is developing projects suspected of containing strategic industrial metals. The country allocation of mining regions is global. With projects in Argentina, Finland, Sweden and New Zealand, management has access to a well-diversified portfolio of properties. Flexibility through year-round work in various properties around the globe and a continuous news flow is NewPeak Resources' strategy.

    Drilling planned for this year at the Cap Burn Gold Project located in New Zealand has already been completed. Results are expected to be released in July at the latest. Drilling at Argentina's Las Openas Gold Project is scheduled to start at the end of the second quarter. At Cachi, the second Argentine property, drilling to date has discovered a mineralized precious metal system approximately 10 km in length, which will lead to further follow-up drilling.

    In the summer of 2021, the next drilling is scheduled at the two Finnish gold projects Hopeavuori and Satulinmäki. At the 11,012-hectare Bergslagen tungsten project in Sweden, the strategic metals tin, molybdenum, copper, tungsten and silver were discovered in addition to promising gold deposits. Historical data around the project is currently being compiled here, and an exploration approach is being developed. An exploration program is planned here for the fall.

    The Australians have a more than valuable hidden reserve in their portfolio in the oil and gas sector. Through the sale of a property to Lakes Blue Energy, they received a 30% stake in the ASX-listed company. The share is currently suspended from trading and had a market value of AUD 45 million before the suspension. On June 30, a moratorium imposed by the government of the Australian state of Victoria on onshore exploration for oil and gas will end. With assets according to the preliminary fiscal year balance sheet of AUD 15.6 million, NewPeak Metals' market capitalization would be covered by this business alone.

    Based on the management experience and the promising approach, the shares of NewPeak Metals offer great potential. However, the projects are at the beginning of their development. Therefore, the stock is suitable purely for speculative investors. Limiting should not be forgotten due to the tightness of the market.

    Promising partnership

    After turbulent weeks, the situation of the hydrogen company Plug Power continues to ease. The Americans had come into the firing line of the authorities because of balance irregularities. In the meantime, the adjustment of the financial statements has been completed. The positive effect was that the corrections did not influence the enterprise's liquidity situation and profitability. The easing rally pushed the share price, which was quoted at a low of EUR 14.27, into the area at EUR 28. The next resistance area is at EUR 30.

    Fundamentally, things are also going well for the US Company. The world market leader for turnkey hydrogen solutions is founding a joint venture with none other than the French carmaker Renault, which will operate under the name Hyvia. The 50:50 partnership is intended to break new ground in the direction of low-carbon mobility. According to Renault's press office, Hyvia will be responsible for "the development and deployment of turnkey hydrogen mobility solutions in terms of a complete ecosystem." The main focus will be on light commercial vehicles powered by fuel cells, charging stations and the supply of renewably produced hydrogen. In addition, the maintenance and management of vehicle fleets will be made possible.

    BYD and XPeng strong

    Investors are following the monthly sales figures of the Chinese electric car manufacturers with great excitement. Here, the Company BYD, which Warren Buffett backs, was able to shine once again. A total of 46,295 units were sold, which is even more than the 45,234 vehicles sold in the previous month. In May 2020, the figure was just 31,821 vehicles. In the NEV segment, which includes hybrid and pure electric cars, a total of 32,800 vehicles were sold in May 2021, a significant increase compared to April with 25,662 units. Compared to the previous year, this means an increase in sales of almost 145%.

    While industry competitor NIO, which experienced delays in its production and delivery schedule due to the chip shortage, recorded a 6% decline compared to the previous month, XPeng Motors continued to show an increase in deliveries in May. A total of 5,686 smart e-cars were sold. Compared to the previous year, this corresponds to an increase of 483%, compared to the previous month, an increase of 10%. The sound barrier of a total of 50,000 smart EVs delivered was reached as early as March 2021, launching sales of the P7 Wing Edition unveiled in November last year.

    XPeng has also launched the lithium iron phosphate-powered G3 SUV and the P7 sedan in China. XPeng's stock is on the verge of generating a buy signal after a correction that was completed by forming a double bottom in mid-May. A breach of the USD 39.40 mark could lift the value to the USD 50 range.

    Moderna has already made the big leap. Yet the best trial data in the company's history sent the shares tumbling, because the success was already priced in. The situation is different for two stocks that have also reached crucial milestones but still attract little attention on the stock market. Desert Gold Ventures is on the verge of its first gold production in Mali. Nuclear power specialist Oklo has commissioned its first reactor, but still needs a little more time before its commercial breakthrough. Analysts' price targets for both shares are several times their current prices.

    Audi Invests in the US – Avoiding 100% of Tariffs with VW, Mercedes, Power Metallic and Porsche AG

    US instead of Europe! Facing potential costs running into billions on vehicle exports, Volkswagen subsidiary Audi is now going on the offensive and announcing the construction of its own USD 4 billion SUV plant in the US state of Georgia. This is not an isolated case, as the global automotive industry is facing a fundamental crisis fuelled by collapsing sales in China, once its flagship market, and the US government's protectionist tariff policy under Donald Trump. This strategic investment, worth billions, not only secures substantial local tax breaks for the premium manufacturer but, above all, serves as a shield against Trump's import tariffs. The consequences for the entire sector are far-reaching, as pressure on European automakers to radically localise production is mounting. While competitors such as BMW and Mercedes have been manufacturing in the US for decades, Audi must now catch up at considerable financial expense. For the European home market, however, this shift in value creation is intensifying the debate over factory closures and job cuts. At the same time, weak sales in China, where German brands are increasingly losing out to local electric vehicle competitors, are forcing painful strategic changes. It is worth taking a closer look at the sector!

    Higher – Faster – Further! Unprecedented euphoria currently prevails on global equity markets, driving prices from one record high to the next. Buoyed by technological progress and unshakeable optimism, investors are boldly snapping up risky assets. However, this exuberant mood largely overlooks a fundamental macroeconomic challenge. Persistently high interest rates weigh on lending over the long term and send financing costs soaring. Higher interest rates also erode profit margins over the medium term, making the current market situation akin to dancing on a volcano. Amid this volatile mix, forward-looking investors are increasingly concerned about a sudden, sharp setback. To protect their portfolios from unpredictable market turbulence, strategic diversification matters more than ever. In this scenario, precious metals, especially gold, are once again coming into focus for asset managers as the ultimate, proven safe haven. There are suitable solutions for this investment idea too. Ultimately, the right mix will likely determine portfolio returns.
