Rheinmetall, Altech Advanced Materials, K+S - Seizing the momentum
Since the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict about three weeks ago and the announcement of sanctions against Russian goods and companies, the winners and losers on the stock market have clearly emerged. While defense companies were not an investment object for fund managers or private investors from an ethical point of view in the recent past, there is now a strong investment in companies such as Rheinmetall, Hensoldt & Co. At the same time, no defense contracts have yet been awarded by the German government, nor is it clear whether the necessary raw materials will be available. Therefore, it would come as little surprise if the currently inflated valuations were to implode soon.

Nevada Copper, Mercedes-Benz, BYD - Price increase for copper expected
The battle for raw material supply chains is intensifying in light of the Ukraine crisis. Copper as a raw material is an indispensable component for electric vehicles. According to Goldman Sachs, due to the geopolitical upheavals, the price of copper may rise rapidly in the coming months. To ensure smooth supply chains, the Company is revisiting Cold War strategies and focusing on local resources. Nevada Copper, a copper supplier in the US, can support Mercedes-Benz's new battery plant. In China, Tesla competitor BYD Electronics is also working with the Stuttgart-based automotive giant to test the luxury segment.

BYD, First Hydrogen, Continental - Hydrogen and e-mobility: Shares with huge potential
Germany must become more independent in terms of energy supply in the future. The war between Russia and Ukraine in the middle of Europe ruthlessly demonstrates how much the Federal Republic of Germany is at the mercy of fossil fuels. Now, at the latest, it should be apparent to every skeptic that the expansion of renewable energies and the transformation in the transport sector must proceed all the more quickly. The opportunities for the companies involved are enormous.

Volkswagen, Edison Lithium, BYD - Important and expensive raw materials
The electromobility industry is growing rapidly, and automakers are accelerating their electric strategy. However, this requires the necessary resources such as cobalt, copper, lithium and nickel. Increased demand is meeting a more than scarce supply. The result is sharply rising prices. The primary beneficiaries are the producers, who can expect growing sales and profits in the coming years.

The battery sensation: Varta, BYD, NIO, Power Nickel: Shares down, oil price above USD 150?
Since the invasion of Russian troops in Ukraine, the changes in the world are now clearly noticeable. Above all, it is tragic that thousands of people have died, and millions are once again forced to flee their homes. There is despair and compassion all over the globe because most nations have been blessed with peace for decades. The standard of living has also increased significantly in 95% of regions. Now, time seems to be running backward again: raw materials, food and everyday necessities are becoming dramatically more expensive, leading to substantial inflationary spurts sector by sector and pushing the level of prosperity back again. But it also shows: We humans must become more independent of fossil energy and advance alternative technologies. We show you shares that are in line with this trend.

Saturn Oil + Gas, BYD, Bayer - Winning with strong companies
When oil futures were trading in negative territory even for a short time at the outbreak of the Corona pandemic in the spring of 2020, many experts assumed that the black gold would remain at a low level in the long term. Only JPMorgan spoke at that time of a possible supercycle and prices over USD 100 per barrel. The analysts cited the supply shortage due to the swing towards green energy production as the reason. Due to the Ukraine crisis, supply has once again been drastically reduced, which is likely to fuel oil prices in the long term.

Nordex, Phoenix Copper, E.ON - Under power
The Ukraine war is making the stock markets nervous. Once again, we realize that normality can end overnight. Massive sanctions have hit Russia. The dependence on our eastern neighbor for energy and raw materials is becoming abundantly clear. The oil and gas prices are soaring, which again strengthens the desire to rely on renewable energies. The growth of electromobility should gain further momentum due to current developments.

Panic oil price USD 130: Volkswagen, Porsche, Nevada Copper, Mercedes - Next push for e-mobility!
The panic moves in the oil and gas markets are making a trend increasingly apparent: For raw material importers, the historical dependence on fossil fuels is becoming unaffordable. Consequently, alternative energy and drive concepts are enjoying a renaissance, and GreenTech stocks are already the big winners. The same applies to copper: It is an essential metal for the high-tech industry due to its extreme conductivity. There has been a supply deficit since 2019, and the price has already quintupled in the years 2020 to early 2022. Who will close the dramatic gap?

Rheinmetall, Altech Advanced Materials, Varta, Standard Lithium - Who can deliver?
Oil, gas, steel, and wheat - these are the goods that are becoming extremely scarce due to the Ukraine crisis. Scarce in the sense of expensive. Because, in the case of oil, OPEC does not yet want to adjust its production quotas. After all, they are currently earning splendidly with prices of up to USD 135 for Brent. Russia and Ukraine are important producers of steel and wheat, in addition to their 11% market share in oil and gas production. Steel is likely to be real short supply, as the start-up of several idle blast furnaces will take the West some time. And as for wheat, the futures market tells us it is up 46% this year. So it is clear the commodity rally and supply chain theme continues. Which companies should we be paying attention to?

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?
