Infineon, Edison Lithium, BYD - Raw material shortage for electric cars
The shift from combustion engines to electric cars poses new challenges for production. An electric vehicle requires significantly more chips, more copper and more raw materials such as nickel and lithium for the batteries. Most recently, the nickel price climbed to over USD 100,000 per ton, partly due to the sanctions against Russia. But the price of lithium is rising. The demand for batteries is still significantly higher than the supply after the rethinking of the automotive industry. Today, we highlight two problem areas and look at an electric vehicle manufacturer.

Power Nickel, BYD, Alibaba - Prices continue to rise
The electric mobility market is picking up steam, with the world's third-largest EV maker BYD entering into a joint venture with Nvidia to push autonomous driving cars. In California, the Company is recording the deployment of zero-emission buses - all battery-powered. The energy transition is dramatically increasing the demand for nickel. Power Nickel is exploring for nickel outside China in particular. The highlight: the nickel there is ideally suited for electric car batteries. And then every Alibaba (BABA) investor can consider themselves lucky: the Company sees its share price jump.

Is this the end for e-car stocks like Tesla? Rock Tech Lithium, Edison Lithium, Volkswagen
More and more e-cars are on our roads, but Handelsblatt sees the e-car boom in danger. What's going on? The leading German medium for business and markets is concerned about the rising prices for battery metals and points, among other things, to the price of nickel, which almost doubled within a few days in March alone. Is there now a threat of a damper on the e-car hype? Or are developments in the sector separating the wheat from the chaff? We take a look at three stocks and explain what they are all about.

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.
