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?

Alibaba, Hong Lai Huat, BYD - Asia as a safe haven for investments?
The war in Ukraine is causing falling stock indices on both sides. The sanctions against Russia will be extensive; even Nord Stream 2 has been stopped for the time being, although Olaf Scholz did not want to name the pipeline for a long time when it came to possible sanctions. Many countries are calling for Russia to be excluded from the SWIFT system. However, this would mean that many countries would be harming themselves, as energy imports from Russia would no longer be affordable. The war will have losers on both sides. Investors who still want to make their money work for them can take a closer look at companies from the Asian region. China is neutral in the showdown. Which stocks offer opportunities?

Shake-up in the auto industry - who loses, who benefits: Porsche, Altech Advanced Materials, Volkswagen
Porsche's planned IPO created a mood of celebration on the market at a turbulent time. The mood among the Porsche and Piëch families is also likely to be one of expectation. After all, they are to receive a blocking minority and would thus once again have more power over their Company. VW is also hoping for advantages from the IPO of its profitable subsidiary: For example, in investments in electromobility and in the valuation of the entire Group. Here's what the deal means for the companies involved and what the consequences could be for smaller technology providers.

Analysts on TeamViewer, Allianz, Altech: Game-changer potential
The Ukraine crisis is currently shaking up the capital markets. But such a time also offers the opportunity to analyze one's portfolio and make changes where necessary. The assessments of analysts can help here. With TeamViewer, Allianz and Altech Advanced Materials, we present opinions on companies of different sizes and sectors. The figures and outlook of insurance giant Allianz have convinced analysts. TeamViewer's stock has recovered from its lows in recent weeks, but analysts are still predominantly cautious. When people think of German battery technology, they usually think of Varta. But there is also an exciting microcap. Game-changer potential is seen in Altech.

Nel ASA, Power Nickel, Varta - Positioning for the price explosion
In the last two years of the pandemic, both private households and commercial enterprises felt the impact of blown supply chains, from chip shortages to lack of lumber, to packaging materials. Extreme consumption is also taking place due to the ambitious achievement of climate targets. Electromobility is gobbling up enormous resources of key raw materials such as copper, lithium and nickel. Due to the significantly increasing demand for batteries, the demand for nickel is expected to continue to rise strongly in the coming years.

BYD, Phoenix Copper, Freeport-McMoRan - The supercycle is on
Inflation has risen again in the US, posting its highest level since February 1982 at 7.5%. Experts do not yet see any easing in the face of high energy and commodity prices. On the contrary, the inflationary spiral continues to spin and is being further fueled by policymakers' increasingly ambitious climate neutrality targets. Here, especially the required materials such as copper, lithium and cobalt could multiply. Due to high demand and low supply, further bottlenecks, delays in supply chains and thus rising prices are only a matter of time. Profit from it.

1000% possible: Varta, Standard Lithium, Power Nickel: The super battery is coming!
In view of advanced stock market valuations, rising inflation and disrupted supply chains, many market participants wonder whether the 1000% is possible in 2022. It is! Because right now, there are many young companies with revolutionary approaches to solving the climate crisis. Innovation and fortune are needed here to launch the ultimate solution to our future problems at the right time. Battery technology remains a good starting point because the issues of range, service life, and recycling have not yet been satisfactorily resolved. Maybe the tenbagger is among the following 3 companies?

Varta, Nel ASA, Almonty Industries: Get in now?
The electric car is currently outpacing the combustion engine: around 350,000 pure e-cars were registered in Germany alone in 2021. According to the Center of Automotive Management (CAM), this means that the market share has almost doubled to 13% in one year. Germany is now the third-largest single market for pure electric vehicles after China and the United States. However, according to CAM, China is ahead with around 2.7 million electric vehicles. Nevertheless, due to global subsidies, the trend toward electromobility will continue, creating opportunities for investors. The winners in electromobility include battery and raw material producers such as Varta and Almonty Industries. Demand for hydrogen - and therefore Nel - will also increase. All three stocks have lost significant ground. But there are positive developments. Is it worth getting in now?
