E-mobility poised for the next boost! Focus now on Mercedes-Benz, Geely, BASF, and Graphano Energy!
The market for electric vehicles is heavily influenced by current battery technology. Advances in high-performance materials and solid-state batteries are significantly improving range, performance, and safety. Faster charging times and longer battery life are leading to greater consumer acceptance. The development of silicon anodes and new cathode materials is enabling more efficient and cost-effective batteries. Sustainable recycling methods are also important, as they strengthen the circular economy and reduce environmental impact. With the expansion of charging infrastructure, range anxiety is decreasing, and EV usage is becoming more convenient. This highly innovative environment opens up opportunities for both manufacturers and investors alike. Those who understand the key players in the space can achieve substantial returns.

Serbians don't want mines – Are Europe's battery supply chains at risk? BYD, BMW and European Lithium
A recent article in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) reveals that the vast majority of Serbians oppose lithium mining in the country. The Journal for International Politics and Society cites a survey according to which 55% of Serbians are against a lithium mine in the Jardar Valley – only 25% are in favor of it. The latest media report paints an even bleaker picture. According to the report, the various population groups in Serbia have rarely been as united as they are in their opposition to the mine. But what does this mean for European battery supply chains? Which companies will be penalized, and which will benefit? We analyze the situation.

BYD expands, Pasinex Resources acquires, Puma attracts buyers: How you can profit from the latest news
While global markets are in flux, two companies are pursuing proactive strategies for future growth. An e-mobility pioneer is skillfully circumventing trade barriers by expanding local production. A mining explorer is securing control of valuable resources through a complete takeover. At the same time, a major sportswear brand has become a takeover target itself, facing increased speculation. The strategic moves by BYD and Pasinex Resources, as well as the ongoing debate about Puma's future, offer key insights for investors. We take a closer look at where to invest right now.

Margins war and soaring commodity prices! Caution advised on BYD, Mercedes, RENK, and European Lithium
So far, September has turned out to be a month of bliss. It appears that the stock market already underwent its full correction back in April. Investors are still buying high-tech and AI stocks, seemingly unconcerned by valuations of historic proportions. In the wake of this super bull market, automakers BYD and Mercedes have recently suffered significant price corrections. At the same time, the wave of euphoria surrounding defense stock RENK now appears somewhat exaggerated. The rally around critical metals has also driven European Lithium and its US subsidiary Critical Metals significantly higher. With commodity prices recently exploding, however, the rally here is likely only just beginning. We take a closer look at the numbers.

German-Canadian raw materials alliance: Graphano Energy, Volkswagen, Magna International
February 1, 2025, came as a shock to many Canadians. On that day, US President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canada and repeatedly suggested the country could become a US state. In response to these trade barriers, Canada sought to reduce its dependence on the US. An obvious partner is the EU. The two economies already entered into a strategic raw materials partnership in 2021. In this article, we explore the prospects for joint supply chains for electric vehicle batteries and highlight which companies stand to benefit.

From ore to energy: How BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Siemens Energy are benefiting from the energy transition
The global energy transition is not only sparking hope but also a race for scarce raw materials. Nickel, cobalt, copper, lithium, and rare earths are becoming the backbone of batteries and wind turbines, while geopolitical tensions over supply chains are driving up prices. Those who position themselves in time could benefit from the redistribution of global power. This is particularly exciting for companies that either secure access to these resources, develop technologies for their use, or play a decisive role in the value chain, such as BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Siemens Energy.

High-profile projects as a zinc turbo: Glencore, Mercedes-Benz, Pasinex Resources
Zinc is a highly sought-after industrial metal — but its price can fluctuate significantly at times. There is about a 25% difference between this spring's yearly low and the average annual price of USD 3,400 forecasted by analysts at Wood Mackenzie. Why is that? Just a few months ago, the market was concerned about an industrial downturn. Today, it is clear that inventories are low and demand from China is anything but weakening. Still, the zinc market remains challenging. We explain which companies are good investments in this environment and which are not!

Top news and price target raised! Plug Power, Standard Lithium, and BMW partner European Lithium
In the run-up to the IAA, BMW is stealing the spotlight from other automakers. The focus of attention is clearly on the Munich-based company's "Neue Klasse". If the new electric models are a success, European Lithium stands to benefit - they are set to supply the lithium for the batteries. But this raw materials gem has a second ace up its sleeve: rare earths. The stock is being driven by positive news flow, which is likely to continue. Standard Lithium is also seeing strong momentum. Analysts have recently raised their price targets significantly. In contrast, the alarm lights continue to flash at Plug Power. While revenue is rising and costs are falling, cash burn remains a concern. Nevertheless, analysts are recommending the hydrogen stock as a "Buy".

Trump under pressure, markets wobble – Technically position now with BYD, Almonty, and Palantir for the next 100% gains!
The stock markets are in yet another bubble, but unlike the tech bubble in 2000, investors are more prepared for the impending correction. The warning signs could not be more evident: inflation, wars, numerous global conflicts, surging interest rates, massive deficits, tariffs and trade wars! Anyone who sees short-term growth under these conditions is likely mistaken. And yet, the market is still holding on to the megatrends of artificial intelligence and defense. Admittedly, 1,000% or more could be earned here, which is good for those who rode out these trends. But caution is advised: The Shiller P/E ratio for the S&P 500 rose above 40 last week – well above the historical norm of 12 to 25. So, where is the celebration continuing? We offer a few clues.

BYD under fire: How First Hydrogen, SMR Technology, and Nel ASA aim to disrupt the Hydrogen Market
The mobility of the future will be shaped by more than just one technology. While electric batteries dominate in passenger vehicles, hydrogen offers enormous potential in heavy-duty transport, light commercial vehicles, and industrial applications. Its breakthrough depends on affordable, green production. Innovative small modular reactors (SMRs) could be the game changer here, radically reducing costs and guaranteeing long-term production. In this context, we take a closer look at BYD, the industry leader in electric mobility. First Hydrogen has already tested hydrogen-powered vehicles on the road and is now increasingly focusing on SMR development. Last but not least, we analyze hydrogen veteran Plug Power.
