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.

What is the future of copper? This chart concerns everyone! Nordex, Alpha Copper, Mercedes-Benz
The copper price is relevant for all investors. Why? It indicates how inflation is developing and hints at where the economy might be headed in the coming months. But is the industrial metal once again living up to its reputation as "Dr Copper", i.e. as an economic indicator that is more reliable than many an economist? We explain the situation surrounding copper, derive a possible scenario for the coming months from this and then take a look at the three shares of Nordex, Alpha Copper and Mercedes-Benz. Let's go!

Rheinmetall, Alpha Copper, K+S AG - Leaders in the industries of the future
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock faces major challenges in the global fight against the climate crisis. "We simply cannot afford further postponement and compromise as a world as a whole," the Green politician warned in Berlin on Tuesday ahead of the conclusion of the Petersberg Climate Dialogue. Thus, the German government is accelerating the shift to renewable energies, whatever the cost. As a result, demand for copper will rise sharply. The red metal is currently correcting, and a new entry opportunity with attractive producers is again given. Demand for fertilizers is also likely to increase. Here, too, investors are likely to sense a new opportunity after the past correction.

New opportunities for copper - Rheinmetall, Alpha Copper, Nordex
Last year, the expansion of renewable energies, for which copper is elementary due to its conductivity, proclaimed a new supercycle. The result was a new 10-year high for the red metal and prices above the USD 10,000 mark per ton. Currently, the specter of recession hovers over the markets, and the correction of the base price passed the 25% mark this week. However, copper will remain a scarce commodity in the coming years and the already tight supply will not be able to keep up with the substantial increase in demand. Thus, there is a second chance for investors in the long run.

Nel ASA, Nordex, Nevada Copper, Siemens Energy: Energy Crisis 3.0 - Copper is the solution!
The copper market is constantly on the move. Along with Shanghai and New York, the London Metal Exchange (LME) is now one of the world's largest metal trading centers. In Europe, the LME is the benchmark for copper prices and metal trading. In contrast to other exchanges, part of the trading is still done by call and floor trading by brokers in an open ring. The LME copper contract is the second-largest exchange-traded contract on the London Metal Exchange. The demand volume for copper has been at a very high level since 2018, currently even at a 25-year high. Last week, prices came under slight pressure as the specter of recession flew through the trading halls. Where are the biggest opportunities at the moment?

Shares: Plug Power and BYD with exclamation points! Patience is needed at Nevada Copper
Hydrogen or battery, which is better? This question is often asked. The answer is simple: both technologies will play an essential role in the energy and mobility revolution. While batteries seem to be gaining ground in the passenger car sector, hydrogen has numerous other potential applications, such as commercial vehicles and ships. Plug Power and BYD put exclamation points on incoming orders and vehicle sales. At the beginning of the value chain are commodity companies like Nevada Copper, which has now suffered a setback on its way to becoming a copper producer. However, the price slide could also represent an opportunity for investors.

Varta, Nevada Copper, E.ON - Shares for the electrification of tomorrow
More and more people are gaining access to electricity. In order to make this possible, copper is needed because this industrial metal is the best conductor of electricity. Due to the upheaval in the energy industry towards renewable energies and the electrification of vehicles, demand is increasing. Supply cannot keep pace. Although 2021 copper production has increased by 2.2%, it is only 0.3% above the pre-Corona level. That explains the significant increase in copper prices, and we can expect a supply deficit in 2022 as well. We look at three companies for the electrification of tomorrow.
