Drumbeat in the lithium sector! BYD, Standard Lithium and Grid Metals
A major merger is brewing in the lithium sector: Australia's Alkem has announced its intention to take over its US competitor Livent. This is further impetus for lithium shares to complete their sharp correction. The Bank of America, among others, sees light at the end of the tunnel. The price of lithium has stabilized, battery manufacturers have reduced their inventories, and the reopening of China is causing demand to rise. Against the background of the threatened nationalization - or at least partial nationalization - of lithium projects in Chile, investors should closely examine where the mining areas are located. This is where Standard Lithium, active in the US, and Grid Metals, active in Canada, come into play. Are carmakers like BYD, Volkswagen or Tesla grabbing hold of exciting projects in North America?

Turnaround stocks with a 300% chance do not come along every day - BASF, Defiance Silver and TUI
Whenever the stock market reaches new highs, investors look for lagging stocks. This is not so easy because a weak price performance has its reasons. But often, things are simply overlooked. We present three stocks with a good story to tell but have been left behind. BASF, Defiance Silver and TUI were conspicuously undercut. And amid all the turbulence in the financial system, silver is stealthily making its way upwards and easily overcoming the USD 25 mark. Watch out at the edge of the platform!

BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, NIO - Battle for the battery of the future
Electromobility is considered a key technology in the transformation of the transport sector. In 2021 alone, the number of new registrations, as well as the market share of battery-powered vehicles, more than doubled. In addition to the charging infrastructure, efficiency plays a decisive role in the spread of e-cars. BYD is currently the leader with its Blade battery. However, a newcomer entered the market in recent months that could shake up the battery market with a novel technology.

Kodiak Copper, Nordex, BYD - Copper price indicates recovery of the economy!
Copper is considered a leading indicator of the economy. The red metal is built into almost all electrical products and is needed in many industries. If we compare the spot price of copper with the futures, we can see that the premium per metric ton has increased significantly. This is matched by the fact that China imported 8.1% more copper through August, despite the country's Zero-COVID strategy. In contrast, Chile, one of the largest copper producers, exported less than last year. So supply remains tight, partly due to demand from Europe, which is significantly expanding renewables. So today, we look at three companies around copper.

BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Varta - Breakthrough in the battery market
Electromobility is considered a key technology in the transformation of the transport sector. In 2021 alone, the number of new registrations and the market share of battery-powered vehicles more than doubled. In addition to the charging infrastructure, efficiency plays a decisive role in the expansion of e-cars. Another obstacle to rapid growth is likely to be the shortage of lithium, an essential raw material for the production of lithium-ion batteries, due to the high demand. A German company is about to start a revolution with new innovative technology. The main component of the new battery is regular table salt, which is available in extremely large quantities and is produced in highly diversified regions.

BioNTech, BYD, Altech Advanced Materials: Excitement is rising
So much for the summer slump. The stock markets are generally friendly at the moment, and many shares are reacting with significant price swings to news, both negative and positive. Like with BioNTech, the share price fell sharply after an impressive rally after the quarterly figures. There are good reasons for rising prices in the coming weeks. BYD is also going full throttle operationally. The e-car manufacturer is reporting one sales record after another, and details are emerging about the launch in Germany to knock Tesla off its electric throne. E-cars, possibly also from BYD, are expected to incorporate battery technology from Altech Advanced Materials in the future. The Company is working on revolutionary technology, and new details are expected by the time of the AGM.

Tocvan Ventures and BYD with outstanding news - TeamViewer plunges into a bottomless pit
The current correction has hit interest-sensitive growth stocks particularly hard. The US technology exchange NASDAQ, for example, has lost around 34% of its value since the beginning of the year and its high of 16,670 points. Investors did not even stop at shares in future technologies such as electromobility. But in contrast to top dog Tesla - Musk's shares have halved in value within six months - Chinese competitor BYD is rushing from one high to the next. There is also strong news from a promising gold and silver exploration company. A gold price that experts expect to be positive in the long term could help the company to outperform.

The super battery is coming: Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD, VW - Who will supply it?
In times of energy scarcity, storage is essential in addition to generation. Engineering firms worldwide are currently searching for the "super battery." It should contain fewer pollutants, be rechargeable many times, allow for a high capacity and not cause problems during later disposal. We will not be able to reconcile all of these criteria anytime soon, but in the overall process, even incremental steps are having a significant effect as the energy storage sector evolves into the next trillion-dollar market. Here is a selection of companies that are already making a major contribution.

Metal rally: BYD, Almonty Industries, BASF, Nordex - Which shares will be climate change winners?
Germany is bracing itself for a difficult winter. Gas supplies from Russia are dwindling. The reason that Siemens Energy is not getting a move on with urgent maintenance here is more likely to be interpreted politically. If Germany continues to join the international arms deliveries to Ukraine, things will likely get tense in the winter. Minister Habeck is calling on the German people to save energy and wants to offer corresponding rewards, but nuclear power plants are still being left out. It is all a bit confusing, but France is already standing by to compensate for Germany's botched energy policy with high-priced electricity supply contracts. So the citizen will have to pay for the red-green climate policy. Where are the opportunities for investors in this environment?

Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD - Full focus on the battery of the future for e-cars
The farewell to the combustion engine is a done deal. In the future, passenger cars will be powered electrically. The battery is crucial for success. Elon Musk said years ago, "The battery is our biggest bottleneck." It is still true today, as the batteries limit range and charging times remain high. Whoever succeeds in producing a better battery with less weight, longer durability, and faster charging can clearly set themselves apart from the competition. Today, we take a look at three companies that are tackling the development of the e-car battery of the future.
