Standard Lithium, Power Nickel, Varta - Shares for the e-mobility of the future
Decarbonization is a done deal among the major industrialized nations. Fossil fuels are to be used less and less, thus reducing emissions. The climate targets can only be achieved through a show of strength. The revolution began in early 2021 when the major car companies said goodbye to internal combustion engines. The future belongs to electric vehicles, which rely on batteries or rechargeable batteries. Since then, the prices for lithium, nickel and the like have skyrocketed. Smaller companies that want to take advantage of the imbalance in supply and demand also benefit from this. Today, we take a look at three companies that could be important for the mobility of the future.

BASF, Standard Lithium, Almonty Industries, BYD - Industrial shares in focus: Now it matters!
Poland and Bulgaria no longer receive gas from Russia because they cannot pay in hard rubles. Feat: No one has larger stocks of this exotic currency because until now, all energy deliveries could be paid for in foreign currency. The situation has reached a new level of escalation between the Russian government and resource-hungry Central Europe. With further arms deliveries, this political issue will become even more acute. We look at existing dependencies and the dangers for German industrial stocks.

Mercedes-Benz, Edison Lithium, K+S - Strong gains from the start
Mercedes-Benz AG scores with a good return on cars and vans in the first quarter of this year. Luxury and electric, in particular, are selling like hotcakes. Despite the pandemic, delivery problems and the lapsed Russian business, shareholders are benefiting from the current share price. To meet the demand for electromobility, areas with mineral resources such as lithium and cobalt are becoming increasingly valuable. These metals are used in batteries to power electric vehicles. The fertilizer company K+S is also providing drive in the agricultural sector. With its products, farmers generate almost twice as much crop yield. However, this disturbs a delicate balance, prompting the German Federal Ministry of Research and Education to take action.

Never invest like Elon Musk! Twitter, Phoenix Copper, BYD
Data is the raw material of the 21st century. Looking at the war in Ukraine and the pandemic, one could also speak of information as an important raw material. After all, data has to be interpreted. In a world that is becoming increasingly complex, some data can be used to draw different and sometimes contradictory conclusions. That makes it all the more important for data to become information and for competent experts to interpret data. Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter is expected to encourage this. But what does this mean for investors?

Nordex, Triumph Gold, Varta - Which shares are coming through the current crisis well?
The current market environment is anything but easy. Inflation is galloping, and while the US is gradually raising interest rates, the EU is exercising restraint and hoping that inflation will fall on its own. However, this scenario is more than questionable, especially since the exit from Russian energy imports is additionally fueling inflation. In addition, there is the Ukraine crisis. The conflict has blocked the land route from China to Europe, leading to supply chain problems. The only options left are by air, which is not economical in most cases, or by sea. Due to China's Zero-Covid policy, further major delays for shipping are currently occurring at their ports. Today, we look at three companies and analyze who should do well through the crisis.

Stocks for bargain hunters: Mercedes-Benz, Power Nickel, Netflix
Share prices are falling. The mix of inflation, the war in Ukraine and the Corona problem in China is weighing on share prices. Even positive economic data in the form of a friendly ifo Business Climate Index does not help. For savvy bargain hunters, falling prices in the face of friendly economic data may even be a good sign. If the market exaggerates on the downside, there could be opportunities in quality companies. We take a closer look at three stocks.

Turn of the times: Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD, NIO - Batteries over oil and gas!
The Ukraine crisis reveals a dangerous dependency. Central Europe is on Russia's energy drip. It is not easy to threaten Russia with sanctions when the oil and gas giant is also the leading supplier. For the primary supply of our population, any change in German-Russian relations is dramatic as long as we do not manage to build up alternatives. Of course, this cannot be done in just a few months but involves an investment cycle of the next 5 to 10 years. It will therefore be critical for the coming winter. The automotive industry has long recognized what threatens heating and district heating today. Move away from fossil fuels - towards batteries! Only who can build them?

Nevada Copper, Aurubis, Nordex - Fueling the energy transition!
A study commissioned by the International Copper Association (ICA) concludes that copper demand will be strongly driven by the massive expansion of cabling for solar, wind power and electric vehicle infrastructure. Experts estimate that the volumes demanded from the solar and wind sectors will multiply by 2040. A projected increase in the number of charging ports for electric vehicles from 3.2 million in 2021 to 152.3 million in 2040 will exponentially increase copper demand in this sector. As a result, an increasing supply shortage is emerging, which in turn will lead to further price increases for the industrial metal. Copper producers such as Nevada Copper or recycling companies such as Aurubis will benefit from these general conditions.

Nel, Standard Lithium, Power Nickel: Shares for the electric boom
BYD and Tesla are celebrating new delivery records in 2022 - and the trend continues to rise. German automakers are also trying to keep pace with electromobility with new models. But success has long since ceased to depend solely on technology and brand; the supply of raw materials is increasingly becoming a critical factor. Lithium and nickel, in particular, are in short supply, and prices are going through the roof. The shares of Standard Lithium and Power Nickel, among others, are benefiting from this. While Standard Lithium has been able to win groups as partners, the spin-off of Power Nickel's gold activities is providing additional share price potential. Hydrogen also has great potential, regardless of whether it will play a role in cars in the future or not. With the latest cooperation with the energy supplier Iberdrola, Nel is taking a further step to secure a piece of the pie.

Lithium explosion: BYD, Standard Lithium, Edison Lithium - Explosives for e-mobility!
Whether e-mobility, aircraft technology or renewable energies, virtually all high-tech segments seek suitable energy storage. The development driver is climate protection, which will put mobility and energy generation and distribution on a new footing in the future. In order to bring e-mobility to a level of efficiency similar to the most modern diesel technology, on the one hand, significantly more environmentally friendly battery production processes are required, as well as a massive increase in performance. The electric boom is thus creating an incredible pull for battery metals, above all, lithium. With a 500% increase in 24 months, the price of the white metal recently reached a new high. But producers are scarce!
