Daimler, QMines, Freeport McMoRan, Glencore, BMW - The Gold of Energy Transition
It is not without reason that copper is currently at a 10-year high. On the one hand, the recovering economies in China and the USA have enormously boosted demand for the metal. On the other hand, copper is one of the most important metals in the energy transition. Demand for solar modules, wind turbines and electric cars already exceeded supply last year. Yet, the new technologies are only at the beginning of a new cycle. The copper shortage is expected to increase dramatically in the next ten years. Profit from the new gold.

BYD, Nevada Copper, AT&T - Nothing works without copper
More and more people worldwide have access to electricity. The electrification of the world is progressing and this requires copper - the non-precious metal that conducts electricity best. Copper was one of the most widely used industrial metals even before the advent of renewable energies and e-mobility. It is found in consumer goods such as air conditioners, telephones and everything around power grids. Increased sales of e-cars are also increasing demand for the "red gold" here, as more copper is needed for these than in conventional passenger cars. Added to this is the charging infrastructure for e-cars, which still has to be built nationwide. Demand will certainly not decrease, but since the supply is not growing at the same time, rising prices are the result.

XPeng, Kodiak Copper, NIO - Megatrend scarcity
Bitcoin, Etherum and the entire crypto family are rushing into the basement. The reason for this is once again the Middle Kingdom. After a statement by the Chinese central bank that one may not use digital currencies for payment purposes, they lost more than 20% in value yesterday. China's market power is even greater when it comes to raw materials for the energy transition. Due to the scarcity of the corresponding metals, prices will rise enormously in the long term. Producers who offer alternatives in the Western industrialized countries can profit significantly from this.

BYD, NIO, Nordex, Sierra Growth - Copper soon at USD 20,000?
The meaningfulness of global efforts to curb global warming becomes all the more transparent when one considers the devastating destruction caused by cyclone "Tauktae" in the Indian state of Gujarat. Something has to be done! German industry is attempting decarbonization through various green technologies, aiming to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. Copper is an essential component of electrification; since early 2021, there has been a run on the metal and its suppliers.

QMines, Leoni, Siemens Energy - Top picks for the energy turnaround
Surveys show that the majority of Germans believe the energy turnaround is necessary. Climate change is manifesting itself in increasingly extreme weather conditions: exceptional cold, extreme heat spells, massive flooding and ever more pronounced droughts are causing hardship for people around the world. Most experts agree that further aggravation of the problem can only be mitigated by limiting CO2 emissions. The companies that stand to benefit massively from this are those that provide the resources needed to do so. Below are three candidates with the 'through-the-roof' potential.

Varta, NIO, Standard Lithium, QMines: Total Copper Boom - Watch out!
Availability of copper is one of the bottlenecks in electromobility. Its price hit a new record high last week at USD 10.445 per ton. Other commodities such as iron ore and uranium have also been in high demand recently. There are reasons for the price boom on both, the demand and supply side. Demand is currently highly driven by the prospect of rapid economic improvement. The accelerating rate for Corona vaccinations gives hope for fewer restrictions and an upturn in economic activity. Supply is currently unable to keep up, especially for technological commodities such as copper, nickel and lithium. We take a look at key industry players.

Kodiak Copper, BASF, Varta - Copper study ignored
The International Copper Study Group (ICSG) sees a slight oversupply of the copper market in 2021 and 2022. The main reason for this is said to be dwindling Chinese demand. The demand is decreasing because China is expanding mine production and copper refining by about 3% each. After the study's publication, the price per ton of copper rose again to over USD 10,000. Possibly driven by the news from Chile, which produced 2.2% less copper than last year. Similar news can be heard from other major copper producing countries such as Peru. Copper concentrate supply is low at the moment. We, therefore, look at one copper explorer, one copper producer and one consumer.

BYD, Nevada Copper, Varta - A dedicated line for share price gains?
Electromobility is an important component of mobility concepts. To what extent other types of drive will overtake the electric car, or whether we will have to realize in 10 years that the whole topic was politically misguided, is another matter. The fact is that the demand for electric cars and batteries is growing enormously. The demand for the raw materials used in them, such as lithium and copper, is also increasing. We present three promising investments that reflect different facets of the investment trend.

BYD, NIO, Varta, Kodiak Copper: No e-mobility without copper!
The copper price is just about to climb the USD 10,000 mark. For many market participants, the scenario for the industrial metal is set. Because since the public declaration of the automotive industry to make the e-vehicle the No. 1 means of transportation, the demand for copper and battery metals is shooting through the roof. Mine operators worldwide are alarmed, but how do you increase capacity in the short term when there are too few developed projects? We dive into the market.

BYD, NIO, Nikola, Nevada Copper - The Tesla hunters step on the gas!
The appointment of the candidates for chancellor in Germany has led to a significant increase in the Green Party. While at the same time, the current government parties have been punished. For consumers, this means continued tax incentives of the highest magnitude for so-called "environmentally friendly technologies," which, in addition to solar panels and wind power, include above all battery-powered mobility and hybrid vehicles. The German Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA) is subsidizing the purchase of electric cars throughout Germany until the end of 2025 - this year, the bonus is particularly high. This environmental bonus supports not only the purchase but also the leasing of electric cars. One half of the subsidy comes from the manufacturer, the second half from BAFA. The stock market likes to hear this, and the manufacturers' shares are selling like hotcakes. It seems that this bull market can start again with every political statement.
