Infineon, Nevada Copper, Nvidia - The high-tech industry in the copper trap!
Copper is an essential metal for the high-tech industry because of its extreme conductivity. Since 2019, there has already been a supply deficit, and from 2020 to 2021, the price has increased fivefold. A study on copper commissioned by the International Copper Association (ICA) shows that by 2030, more than 250,000 tons of copper per year will be used as part of the windings in electric traction motors in electric vehicles on the road. The increase in copper demand follows the development of the global automotive market, as electric and plug-in hybrid cars will account for around 19% of the total market by 2030. How is the gap closing?

BASF, Kodiak Copper, Salzgitter - Inflation stays longer
For the first time in almost 30 years, the German inflation rate rose above the 5% mark in November. According to an initial estimate by the Federal Statistical Office, goods and services cost 5.2% more than a year earlier. Energy and raw material prices, which have risen sharply, account for a major share of this increase. Given the increased demand for special materials to achieve the energy turnaround, the trend is likely to be confirmed in the coming years.

NIO, Nevada Copper, Volkswagen - Business is booming
It is hard to imagine climate change without electromobility. The shift from combustion engines to battery-powered vehicles promises bright growth prospects for the automotive lobby. Despite the rosy outlook, a problem is emerging, one that has been known for years and is likely to become even greater in the future - the shortage of raw materials. Above all, the sharp rise in prices for essential metals is expected to eat into the margins of the automotive industry.

Nevada Copper, Varta, Aumann - Catching up!
Electromobility is inextricably linked with raw materials such as copper and lithium. The demand for e-cars and batteries is increasing enormously. This megatrend is also pulling up the relevant raw material prices. How can investors profit from this development, and which of the three stocks has the best opportunities in the coming year?

The copper sensation continues! Nordex, Nevada Copper, JinkoSolar, Daimler
When it comes to calculating the copper market in the next few years, expert opinions differ. According to a study by Wood Mackenzie, primary copper demand will increase by 30% to approximately 25 million tons by 2030. The main argument for further rising prices remains the global copper shortage because demand continuously exceeds supply, and recycling rates cannot cover industrial stockpiling either. The German copper smelter Aurubis is trading at an all-time high and wants to build a multi-metal plant in the USA. Such news is confirmation of an awakening among investors to allow new mining and processing operations to emerge. There are few new mines in sight at the moment, but there is news from Nevada.

Nordex, Kodiak Copper, Xiaomi - Long-term trend
The current copper chart could have been copied from the textbook "Technical Analysis of Financial Markets" written by John J. Murphy. After a ten-year high at USD 10,720.15, the red metal corrected to the support zone at around USD 8,800. After several months of sideways movement, it is now heading north again. Once the USD 9,700 mark has been overcome, a new attempt to reach the five-digit range should only be a matter of time. Copper is in demand as never before and will remain so in the coming years.

Varta, Nevada Copper, BYD: Fast 100% with this future trend?
What does the future look like in German inner cities? If we take a survey of Hamburg residents as a blueprint, a lot will likely change in our cities very soon. Hamburgers would prefer to see their city centers car-free and promote electromobility even more strongly. So far, it is primarily city dwellers who are leaning toward the future. But as soon as e-cars paired with autonomous driving bring the surrounding areas closer to the centers, rural residents are also likely to renounce their diesel quickly. Don't believe it? Then let us convince you and find out how you can invest in tomorrow's trends today.

Positive news at BYD, Nevada Copper and BMW
It is a first, delicate signal from the Fed concerning the tightening of the ultra-loose monetary policy. Starting in November, the purchases of securities to stimulate the economy are to be tightened somewhat. However, the Fed is still far from thinking about raising key interest rates. The monetary watchdogs are still insisting that inflation is only temporary. Given the high energy prices and holey supply chains, this problem will likely last far longer than previously assumed.

Daimler, GSP Resource, Ballard Power - Far-reaching consequences
Exactly six years ago, at the 2015 climate conference in Paris, it was agreed to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. However, there is a considerable gap between the plan and reality. According to climate protection experts, much more ambitious action plans are needed from countries to achieve the envisaged target. The first step, and not just in Germany, is to achieve climate neutrality from the second half of this century. At the summit in Glasgow, the reins are set to be tightened, with far-reaching consequences for the economy.

Varta, Standard Lithium, Sierra Grande Minerals, Nordex - The next hype rolls in!
In Germany, politics is becoming significantly greener! But what do the mobility concepts of the climate protectors look like? In addition to the publicly demanded reduction of unnecessary business flights, the bicycle would also be an alternative for 30-kilometer journeys. Fossil energy has already become 50% more expensive in 2021, and gas prices are going through the roof. There is still a high demand for energy in Germany because we are currently buying cheap nuclear power abroad. This is how it can go when a botched energy policy is associated with climate protection goals. No matter how things go, the world needs copper for modern technologies, and this raw material, along with lithium and other critical metals, is just terribly scarce. How are the typical industry players doing?
