dynaCERT, Volkswagen, Siemens Energy - Growth drivers in renewable energy: Who is leading?
In the hydrogen business, countries are providing government incentives to further promote this innovative technology. For instance, the US Department of Energy is providing around USD 750 million for 52 projects in 24 states. The goal is clear: to make clean hydrogen affordable and to gain international leadership in this sector. The Canadian company dynaCERT has developed an emission-reducing technology to retrofit conventional diesel engines to make them emission-free. This bridging technology combines the best of both worlds: the efficiency of diesel engines and the retrofittable and switchable CO₂-reducing drive form. The engine itself remains untouched in its functionality. One reason for the slow progress of large-scale hydrogen projects is the still lacking infrastructure. Siemens Energy can look forward to significant growth in its Grid Technologies division. Volkswagen, on the other hand, is learning that subsidies are not always advantageous, particularly regarding electric vehicles. The plant in Brussels is on the brink of collapse. And then there is a multi-million-dollar compensation claim from a completely different sector.

BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Mercedes-Benz - Electromobility is being driven forward despite all the prophecies of doom
Electromobility is becoming increasingly important against the backdrop of climate change and sustainability. Electric drives offer a clean, efficient alternative to combustion engines and reduce CO₂ emissions. Consumers and investors are showing increasing interest in this technology. Key companies such as the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, which specializes in innovative battery materials, and Mercedes-Benz, with its EQ series in the premium segment, are leading the way and significantly shaping the dynamic electromobility market. This is reason enough to take a closer look at these three stocks.

Innovation meets tradition: How Mercedes-Benz Group, Desert Gold, and Amazon are shaping the future
The global economy is facing a variety of challenges and opportunities. While vehicle manufacturers such as Mercedes are adapting their strategies, new opportunities are opening up in other sectors. Mercedes is expanding the combustion engine range of its S-Class and offering models with both a petrol engine and an electric battery. The German Association of the Automotive Industry is concerned about the EU's punitive tariffs on Chinese electric vehicle imports. It predicts that the impending trade conflict will intensify, particularly with regard to rare earth metals. In these uncertain times, it is all the more important to add some gold to the portfolio as a hedge. One candidate with high growth potential is the exploration company Desert Gold, which is investigating an outstanding area with over 1 million ounces of gold resources in Mali, Africa. Those who prefer data to new gold will be pleased with Amazon's latest strategic move. The Seattle-based company has not only brought on board a smart AI leader but also the entire team along with AI. Where is an investment worthwhile?

Euro 2024 Round of 16 - A Summer fairytale on the stock markets, too? BYD, VW, Power Nickel and Rheinmetall qualify early
Football has always been a great way to distract the masses. People love sports because it relaxes them even when they are just watching - a tried and tested remedy for the multiple crises that continue to spiral into our minds. Fortunately, the stock markets are trading so high that the looming banking crisis in China and Japan is not working its way through to Europe in the media. The EU financial markets have lost a lot of ground since the election because while the NASDAQ is rushing from peak to peak, the EURO STOXX is making an almost unnoticed 5% correction, and France is even down 10%. EU spreads on German government bonds widened further, a scenario that seemed to have been forgotten since 2008. And in football, Germany is hopeful going into the Round of 16, and our stock picks are also bursting with strength.

Opportunities upon opportunities: sell AI now! Nel ASA, Royal Helium, Plug Power, and BYD
19,887 is the new record high of the NASDAQ 100 index. Dream returns from Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft could accelerate the stock market's growth into the summer once again. This could also make the second quarter of 2024 a good month for equities, as the saying "Sell in May and go Away" does not seem to apply this year. However, there are plenty of lagging stocks with great potential. They are currently on one side, as the attraction of the "Magnificent Seven" is too strong. We take the euphoria as an opportunity to take a closer look at a few promising stocks.

BYD has to pay punitive tariffs - How will this affect Altech Advanced Materials and Volkswagen?
In the midst of turbulent trade disputes, the situation in the global electric vehicle market is coming to a head. The EU has announced punitive tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles from July 4, and manufacturers such as BYD, Geely, and SAIC are therefore in the spotlight. The EU Commission accuses the Chinese vehicle manufacturers of benefiting from state subsidies, thus entering the European market with a competitive advantage. The level of duties depends on the manufacturers' willingness to cooperate with the investigations. Duties can range between 17.4% and 38.1%. The planned measures are shaking up the industry and further escalating the trade conflicts with China. German vehicle manufacturers fear retaliatory measures.

After the election, buy a combustion engine now? Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Globex Mining and BYD on the test track
The crushing defeat of the green camp in the EU elections has caused a stir in the automotive industry. Will the ban on combustion engines be overturned in favour of a general openness to technology? It is well known that the best conventional vehicles come from Germany, and they are demonstrably no more harmful to the climate than current e-vehicles. Voters have finally lifted the green veil, and the doctrine of the know-it-alls is now in retreat. From a climate perspective, investing in battery storage systems makes sense, but they do not necessarily have to be installed in vehicles. How can investors benefit from the current situation?

Volkswagen changes strategy! Can Power Nickel and Rheinmetall benefit?
In an increasingly volatile global economy, companies face unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Although Volkswagen, Power Nickel, and Rheinmetall may appear to represent different industries at first glance, the companies are often interconnected. Now that Volkswagen, as an automotive giant and key player in the mobility sector, is suddenly adjusting its strategy, it is worth taking a closer look at the impact on other companies. We explain Volkswagen's adjustments and where there are overlaps with Power Nickel and Rheinmetall.

Invest in these stocks now! BYD, Varta, Royal Helium!
Those who invest in latecomer stocks now could be rewarded. After all, the high-flyers of 2024 from the fields of artificial intelligence and armaments are anything but cheaply valued. Here are three stocks that could be worth buying now, at least at first glance. BYD has bucked the industry trend by publishing positive sales figures, is making progress in autonomous driving, and analysts are optimistic. Those looking to benefit indirectly from the boom in armaments or quantum computers should consider Royal Helium. A capital increase has injected fresh money into the Company's coffers, and the helium producer can take off again. And what about problem child Varta? The struggling battery manufacturer has found a new CEO, but the old problems remain.

Globex Mining, Samsung Electronics, BYD: Commodity rally and innovations from Asia
Increasing demand for generative AI, consumer electronics, and innovations in the automotive industry are significantly boosting demand for raw materials. These are golden times for explorers like Globex Mining. The Canadian company has such a broad-based commodities portfolio that it can be seen as a minerals land bank. For investors, this means reduced risk thanks to high diversification. Samsung Electronics is currently facing several challenges. Not only have they been overtaken by NVIDIA in chip production, but the workforce is also becoming restless. In South Korea, this would be the very first strike in the Company's history. Although the brand value is highly regarded globally, things seem to be quite off-kilter in Suwon. Innovations are produced in Asia. Car manufacturers such as BYD, Geely and Toyota are focusing on the next evolutionary stage in the development of electromobility. The EU, on the other hand, appears helpless and is trying to undermine competition with punitive tariffs. Will they succeed?
