BYD, Nevada Copper, Mercedes-Benz Group: Price shock also at the charging station
The fact that prices at gas pumps are constantly rising is nothing new for drivers. But with the price shock now also looming at charging stations, it is a new experience for many e-car drivers. Providers of charging infrastructures, such as EnBW, Tesla, Enel and Stadtwerke München, have raised their prices in recent months, in some cases significantly: The kilowatt-hour has become between 8% and 82% more expensive. What will happen now?

BYD, Nio, Nordex, Phoenix Copper: Nothing works without copper!
Electromobility is becoming increasingly crucial for the energy transition in transportation. And with it, the research and development of drives, batteries and power-saving components. However, in addition to electricity storage, vehicle cabling and the fitting of high-tech components are also coming to the fore. Today, an electric vehicle requires 3 to 4 times as much copper as it did 20 years ago. Still, the earth's deposits are exhaustible, and copper, in particular, is pretty much stretched to the limit. A spot price of just under USD 10,000 per kilo clearly shows how the markets are processing this situation. A current conflict, such as Ukraine, provides additional fuel and further rising prices! Where are the opportunities?

E.ON, Nevada Copper, Nordex - The only way it works
In the course of the energy transition, renewable energies such as hydroelectric and solar power, wind energy, geothermal energy and renewable raw materials are replacing fossil fuels. By 2050, renewable energy sources are to cover around 60% of national consumption. Another key challenge is to increase energy efficiency. New storage concepts and intelligent energy networks play a central role here. Not to be forgotten are the essential raw materials such as copper, from whose expected price increases commodity producers can profit.

Allkem, Kodiak Copper, BHP - Profiteers of high commodity prices!
The growth of electromobility will cause the prices of copper, lithium and other battery metals and critical raw materials to rise in the long term. Supply and demand are the determining influencing factors. Whether interest rates rise or not, whether stock markets wobble or not, the price trend will continue. Profiteers are (prospective) commodity producers.

Glencore, Nevada Copper, Newmont - Commodities as an investment
An escalation of the situation in Ukraine and a possible war directly in Europe is keeping the stock markets in turmoil. In addition, a faster than expected rise in interest rates in the US is causing uncertainty among investors. As a result, the precious metal gold has risen to its highest level since mid-2021 and, at least in the short term, will live up to its status as a crisis currency. Companies from the commodities sector are also performing strongly. The price of a ton of copper, for example, once again exceeded the psychologically important USD 10,000 mark. Due to the strong demand resulting from the energy transition, this trend is also likely to prevail in the longer term.

TeamViewer, Kodiak Copper, XPeng - Opportunities after the setback
It is numbers season again. The Goeppingen-based company TeamViewer achieved its forecasts, which had been revised downwards twice. Whether the remote maintenance business is sustainable after the pandemic has subsided remains to be seen. By contrast, demand for raw materials for the energy transition is almost sure to be sustainable. In particular, the eminently essential copper is likely to be subject to a further increase in demand for years to come.

Nordex, Nevada Copper, JinkoSolar: Earning in the copper decade!
According to a 2020 study by the International Copper Study Group (ICSG), 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. While most mines have copper concentrations between 0.2 and 0.8%, there are even deposits in Central and South Africa that can contain 5 - 6% copper. In Europe, the largest copper deposits are found in Russia and Poland. Expert opinions differ considerably when calculating the copper market for the next few years. According to a study by Wood Mackenzie, primary copper demand will increase by 30% to about 25 million tons by 2030. And ore is already in more than short supply today. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Aurubis, Nevada Copper, Daimler - Copper: Fueling the mobility and climate shift
No metal represents the step into our electrical century more than copper. The reddish shimmering metal with excellent conductivity is in demand wherever electricity is concerned. Experts estimate that about three to four times as much copper needs to be installed in e-cars than in a conventional combustion engine for mid-range cars, which currently comes to about 25kg of copper. Due to the high demand, copper consumption could increase more than tenfold in the next ten years.

BYD, Nevada Copper, Nordex - Copper, the next run
After a prolonged sideways movement and a bottoming out in the USD 9,000 area, copper celebrated the recapture of the psychologically important USD 10,000 mark last week. The triumphant march of the red metal is likely to continue in the coming years due to the energy transition. Stronger demand is offset by scarce supply, which is being further fueled by the electrification of transport, among other things.

Varta, Nordex, Kodiak Copper: The 100% opportunity with copper in 2022!
The climate decisions made in Glasgow in November are casting their shadows far ahead. It is becoming clear to the protagonists: electromobility and efficient electricity storage are increasingly important for the energy transition. Consistent decarbonization requires research, development and production of drives, batteries and components. The red conducting metal copper is an essential component of electrical components of all kinds. Today, an e-drive vehicle requires three to four times the amount of copper as an internal combustion model, plus the great demand in industrial manufacturing processes. The earth's reserves are exhaustible, and copper, in particular, is pretty much on the edge. We take a look at some interesting investment opportunities.
