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.

NEL, Varta, Kodiak Copper: The market has missed this news
The mobility revolution is real. Last year, stocks like NEL sparked hydrogen fantasy among investors, but battery-powered electromobility will come back into focus in 2022. The reason: Companies such as Volkswagen and Daimler are increasingly committing to electromobility. And that opens up opportunities. We present three stocks.

BMW, Nevada Copper, Geely - The supercycle is unstoppable!
Since January of last year, the copper price has more than doubled and is currently trading at a 9-year high. The trend is clearly towards further rising prices. Due to the switch to alternative energy such as wind power or solar energy and the displacement of the combustion engine by the electric car, a multiple of the carrier metal is needed. Experts from major American banks such as Citigroup or JP Morgan are already talking about a new "supercycle" on the commodities market, a sustained upward price trend. Demand is rising and supply is falling. Back the winners of the energy turnaround!

NIO, Varta, Nevada Copper: Where the best opportunities lurk in the value chain
The theory around value creation is simple: the more a raw material is refined or processed, the greater the margin a company can ultimately achieve. While a kilo of Kobe beef fillet costs around EUR 400, a savvy chef will conjure up ten dishes from it and take in four-figure sums. There are many reasons to invest at the end of the value chain, but the risk also increases. If the chef cannot cook, he will not make sustainable sales even with the best ingredients. The situation is similar in the value chain around electromobility.
