Varta, Kodiak Copper, Nordex, BYD: Copper rally 3.0 - showstoppers for climate change looming!
The sharp rise in energy raw materials is an opportunity to accelerate electrification. However, in order to really relieve the atmosphere of harmful gases in this process, we need a lot of GreenTech ideas that allow us to generate energy sparingly from our existing natural resources. Copper is one of the central raw materials around which innovations revolve. Without this red metal, building electric motors and transporting huge amounts of electricity over land would be impossible. They must now be explored and developed. The race against time is already in its third round! Which shares are at the forefront?

JinkoSolar, Alpha Copper, Rheinmetall - Green revolution pushes the market
Over USD 10,800 was paid for a ton of copper last year. Rising demand due to climate neutrality lifted the red metal to new highs. However, the metal, which is known as an economic indicator, is currently undergoing a correction due to rising fears of recession. It has lost around a quarter of its value since the beginning of the year. In the long term, however, demand is enormous due to the achievement of climate targets. Experts forecast that more copper will be mined in the next 25 years than in the entire history of humanity. Thus, copper companies at corrected levels offer attractive long-term investment opportunities.

Precious metals producer Manuka Resources facing transformation, what are Barrick Gold and Newmont doing?
The precious metals gold and silver were able to start a rally with the beginning of the Ukraine crisis. With high inflation rates, gold was supposed to be the safe haven, but the strength of the US dollar and interest rate hikes pushed the gold price back down. Additionally, according to Wirtschaftswoche, Ukraine sold USD 12.4 billion worth of gold, more than the country officially owned. However, since gold bounced up at the important USD 1,680 level and was also able to break the downtrend line, now might be the time for gold. Today we look at the two big players, as well as an emerging precious metals producer.

Nordex, Alpha Copper, Uniper - Forward-looking change
The demand for copper will increase rapidly in the coming years due to the shift to renewable energies. By 2030, 250% more copper will be needed for chargers in electric vehicles. Wind turbine manufacturer Nordex also needs the highly conductive metal. A wind farm in Ireland is being topped up with new turbines, but other factors are affecting the Company's figures, so there seems to be no end in sight to its red figures this year. Energy group Uniper is also still struggling. Despite the gas levy, maintaining ongoing operations remains a real test. Where is an investment worthwhile?

Kodiak Copper CEO Claudia Tornquist: The long-term picture for copper remains extremely strong
Copper is one of the important metals in modern life. When it comes to the energy transition and the change in mobility, the red metal is of great importance. In the global competition between industrial market players, access and price therefore play an important role. Raw material nations such as Canada supply the market with the ingredient of countless technical devices, which are often produced in the Middle Kingdom. For this reason, it is particularly interesting to hear the opinion of an expert. Claudia Tornquist is the CEO of Kodiak Copper Corp. and is exploring for new copper deposits in British Columbia.

GreenTech shares: BYD, Alpha Copper, Nordex, JinkoSolar - Top stocks for the climate fight!
According to a study by the International Copper Study Group (ICSG) from 2020, Chile, Peru, China and the US were the largest copper producers in the world. Other significant deposits can be found in Australia, Indonesia, Russia, Canada, Zambia, Poland, Kazakhstan and Mexico. In Europe, the largest copper deposits are concentrated in Russia and Poland. When it comes to calculating the copper market in the next few years, expert opinions differ widely. According to a study by Wood Mackenzie, primary copper demand will increase by over 30% to around 25 million tons by 2030. And ore is already in more than short supply today. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Alarm at Plug Power, problems for Nordex is good for Alpha Copper
It is the summer of renewable energy stocks. Russia's attack on Ukraine, high oil and gas prices, and climate change are just a few arguments why investors are so electrified by the sector. However, there is also a lot of advance praise being handed out. That is the case with Plug Power. When a company makes more losses than sales, alarm bells start ringing. But the Plug Power share is taking this surprisingly well. According to analysts, Nordex continues to suffer from high purchase prices, and an impending copper shortage will not reduce the problems. Alpha Copper should benefit from scarce copper. Drilling programs are giving the share a tailwind.

Gold? What matters is what you make of it: Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Amazon
"Perfect time to buy gold?" That was the question posed by Handelsblatt a few days ago while at the same time providing good arguments for the precious metal. Although the interest rate turnaround could once again weigh on gold in the short term, the focus could then turn to the future. Experts believe that gold has opportunities again in the medium term. The experts at Goldman Sachs see the precious metal at USD 2,500. We explain how investors can invest in gold and whether there are other inflation investments.

Alpha Copper, Nordex, Volkswagen - Has the copper price found its bottom?
On July 15, the copper price briefly traded below USD 7,000 per ton. Since then, the price has risen strongly again to over USD 7,800 per ton. Copper has the reputation of being a leading indicator for the economy, as the metal is used in almost all industrial sectors and electrical products. Fears of a recession have been present in the markets for some time, driven by inflation and recently rising interest rates. Added to this is the zero-Covid policy of the Chinese, which leads to falling demand from commodity-hungry China. The latest statements by FED Chairman Jerome Powell give the markets hope that the worst is over. The copper price so far confirms this view.

Barrick Gold, Tocvan Ventures, Newmont - Gold stocks facing a renaissance?
The strong dollar has weighed on the gold price in recent weeks. However, the strength of the US dollar is rather a weakness of the euro. While the FED raised interest rates to fight inflation, the ECB hesitated. While the ECB recently raised interest rates by 50 basis points, it was 75 in the US. In addition, the energy crisis in Europe, especially Germany, is putting additional pressure on the euro. For US exports, this is not good news. Therefore, the markets gratefully accepted Jerome Powell's statements. The chairman of the FED wants to slow down the pace of interest rate increases. The gold price also jumped in response. We look at three companies that should benefit from a rising gold price.
