Vonovia, Desert Gold Ventures, Daimler Truck - Solid growth surprises investors
Vonovia has secured a strong US partner to further secure its real estate business in Germany. Proceeds from the investment will support Vonovia's capital allocation plans while giving Apollo's insurance and institutional clients access to a portfolio of long-term, high-quality assets. High quality is also the acreage Desert Gold Ventures is exploring in Mali, Africa. New gold exploration areas have been defined that show promise. Gold will continue to gain importance in the near future, as it is a valuable component of numerous solutions in the energy transition. According to Daimler Truck CEO Daum, progress is still far too slow. But the Q1/23 result exceeds all expectations.

Caution at Nel ASA and drumbeat at Volkswagen: Can Canadian North Resources profit?
Things are getting exciting for shareholders of Nel ASA. The hydrogen pioneer will publish its figures for the first quarter tomorrow. A current buy recommendation does not help the share price. At least the expectations for the figures are anything but high at the moment. Is there anything positive to report on the order book? Plug Power recently placed an order with a competitor. In the battery sector, Volkswagen has caused a sensation. The Wolfsburg-based company has announced its intention to build its largest battery factory to date in Canada. The Canadian government is subsidizing the project and expects thousands of new jobs at VW and its suppliers. The latter could include Canadian North Resources. The Company is currently developing a vast area and has already found copper, nickel, cobalt, platinum, and palladium there. Another drilling programme has just been launched. It is hoped that lithium will also be found.

Copper is becoming more and more interesting: Mercedes-Benz, Orestone Mining, Plug Power
The price of copper is also known among investors as "Dr Copper". The reason: the price of copper predicts economic crises more reliably than an economist and can be considered an indicator of economic activity. Currently, the demand for copper is exceptionally high because of its role as a jack-of-all-trades among metals. We explain which companies are dependent on copper and who can provide supplies.

Electromobility on the verge of a new era - Freyr Battery, First Phosphate, Nio
In recent years, electromobility has become increasingly important. This is due to the increased demand for environmentally friendly vehicles and the progress in battery technology, which enables a longer range and shorter charging times. The development of new battery technologies remains an essential factor for the future of the industry. Even more existential, however, is access to the raw materials needed, such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and phosphate.

BYD overtakes Volkswagen! Do Manuka Resources and Varta benefit from battery demand?
Changing of the guard in the world's largest car market: for the first time since the 1980s, the Volkswagen brand is no longer number 1 in China. BYD sold more vehicles in the Middle Kingdom than VW in the first quarter. And while BYD sold only electric models, the German manufacturer also sold combustion engines. If the world's largest car market is to be a blueprint for Europe and the USA, Volkswagen, BMW & Co. are in for hard times. But the latest sales figures also show that demand for batteries is not going to collapse any time soon, as one or two experts predicted for this year. Those who want to bet on the raw materials for batteries should look at Manuka Resources. The Australians also have a second hot iron in the fire with gold projects. And what is the German battery pioneer Varta doing? Next week should be exciting.

Orestone Mining, Nikola, Volkswagen - Where solid work still counts for investors
The global demand for electric transport vehicles is increasing, and with it, the demand for precious metals such as gold and silver. Whether in cockpit electronics or as an application in luxury BEVs, companies like Orestone Mining Corporation are well-positioned to serve the global markets. In contrast, all that glitters is not gold at Nikola Motors. The share price continues to plummet as the management team seems good at only one thing: Burning money. One of the accused confessed this week on the subject of the combustion engine in the Volkswagen Group's Dieselgate scandal. Accordingly, the target price of VW shares has now been adjusted.

With the shutdown of nuclear power plants comes the end of nuclear power! Siemens Energy, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall, E.ON - Greentech stocks on the rise
Now it is done. The German government is implementing the decision from 2011 with a slight delay due to the crisis and is taking the last three remaining nuclear power plants off the grid. Those who expected a blackout were proven wrong, at least over the weekend. Federal Economics Minister Habeck predicts a complete CO2 renewal for Germany and believes that Germany as an industrial location does not need nuclear power to be profitable. He also believes that electricity prices will fall again in the long run. The primary utility E.ON, however, did not hesitate to combine the nuclear phase-out with a hefty increase in electricity prices by about 45%. After all, what is currently easier to sell to end consumers than an imposed price squeeze that they no longer want to carry on their own books? Politically highly questionable, but a good opportunity for Greentech shares.

E-car surprise in China: Mercedes-Benz, BYD, Grid Metals
E-cars? Yes, please! At least, that is the case for Mercedes CEO Ola Källenius. He sees his company clearly focused on the electric drive - regardless of technology openness. This seems to be paying off at Mercedes: In the first quarter, the Swabians sold almost twice as many e-cars as in the previous year. But how far can this growth go? What do the absolute figures say? We make the comparison and outline investment opportunities.

Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, Mercedes-Benz Group - Why the metal tungsten is pushing the energy transition
South Korea is supporting its economy by building new nuclear power plants. In this context, the country has entered into a cooperation with Great Britain to jointly use and further develop renewable energies and their technologies. For Almonty Industries, this means two more potential customers for its mineral, tungsten. Due to its extreme resistance, tungsten is also used in the construction of nuclear reactors. Meanwhile, Rheinmetall has won a new major order from China. And the Mercedes-Benz Group share also bodes well for global sales thanks to Q1/23 results.

Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD - Which Greentech stocks are poised for a boom?
Greentech focuses on technologies and solutions that protect the environment and are sustainable. Since the car industry wants to focus on electric mobility in the future, a race for the best battery has begun. With new technologies, electricity storage systems can be built to store surplus renewable energy instead of letting it go to waste. Electric vehicles have gained popularity through continuous development as they can be used to get around with zero emissions. Growth opportunities are plentiful in this segment. We, therefore, take a look at three companies in the sector.
