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.

K+S, Edison Lithium, BASF - Explosives for the stock markets
Inflation is rising sharply, and there is uncertainty due to the increasing geopolitical tensions with sanctions, which are supposed to hit Russia in particular but are having a one-to-one impact on our wallets. For example, energy prices are rising enormously, with gasoline increasing by more than 50 cents at the pump within a few days. The switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources will take time, but it will almost certainly not be cheaper. The price of lithium alone, an elementary metal for electric mobility, has quadrupled since the summer of last year. The primary beneficiaries of the runaway inflation are undoubtedly the producers of the in-demand raw materials.

Daimler, Yorkton Ventures, Volkswagen: Is the lithium takeover merry-go-round about to start?
When Tesla knocks on the door, you don't keep your guest waiting long, even if the visit is spontaneous. Usually, the e-car maker brings solid plans and the necessary means to implement them. That is what happened recently with Liontown Resources. The small Australian Company plans to start commercial production by 2025. Tesla wants to get its foot in the door today and has worked out an agreement that allows for a flexible order volume, depending on how much lithium-spodumene concentrate Liontown can deliver. The deal shows even small lithium companies are in the sights of the big players. We present three stocks that could also fit the picture.

Varta, Standard Lithium, Edison Lithium - The demand for lithium is going through the roof!
E-mobility is permanently changing today's automotive industry. More and more electrified passenger cars are finding their way onto our roads, and the growth prospects for this booming industry are expected to improve even further in the coming years in light of increasing climate concerns. The Boston Consulting Group estimates that electric cars will account for 47% of global markets by 2025, up from 12% in 2020 - that is a very bold forecast! But it does show a way forward. Thanks to the accelerated acceptance of environmentally friendly vehicles among consumers, one metal, in particular, is moving into the spotlight: lithium. And it is here that investors should pay attention.

BYD, Edison Lithium, Rock Tech Lithium: Investing in the Saudi Arabia of electromobility
Ever since this year's Super Bowl, it has been clear that the future of mobility will be electric. What does one have to do with the other? Advertising space during mega-sports events is in high demand. This year, seven companies from the sector advertised e-cars and accessories, including BMW with a spot featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Other companies that spent up to USD 6.5 million for 30 seconds of advertising included Polestar and Nissan. But e-cars are not yet a foregone conclusion. The technology poses challenges for suppliers and raw material producers. We present three companies that are well placed to score points with their products despite adverse conditions.

BYD, Yorkton Ventures, Standard Lithium - Winners of the mobility revolution!
The shift from fossil fuels to battery-powered vehicles is underway, and policymakers are keeping up the pressure with targets to reduce emissions from cars by at least 55% and trucks by 30% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. Demand for New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) is growing tremendously. In addition to Tesla, Chinese manufacturers such as BYD, XPeng and NIO were also able to report double-digit growth rates in the past fiscal year. The prerequisite for this trend is the procurement of the existential raw material lithium. But this is becoming increasingly scarce.

Standard Lithium, Yorkton Ventures, Deutsche Bank - The new favorites
For many years, shares of banks and financial service providers underperformed the overall market. With the end of the ultra-loose monetary policy of the central banks and several possible interest rate hikes due to continued high inflation, stocks are benefiting disproportionately and sometimes break through their downward trends that have prevailed for years. In addition to high energy costs, the blame for the enormous price increases lies with the further rise in raw material prices. Because of the demand side due to the energy transition, lithium, in particular, is rushing from high to high.

Edison Lithium, Standard Lithium, Varta - Winners of the lithium shortage!
Electromobility is only at the beginning of enormous growth. The primary beneficiaries are companies that produce or are on the way to producing the imperative raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, copper and nickel. Demand is significantly outstripping supply, with an increasing tightening. As a result, commodity prices are rising, and so are producers' profits.

Allkem, Edison Lithium, NIO - The battery of the future
The transformation from diesel- or gasoline-fueled vehicles to battery-powered electric vehicles is underway, the market is growing strongly, and automakers are increasingly adopting an electric strategy. However, this requires the necessary raw materials such as cobalt, copper, lithium and nickel. Increased demand meets a more than scarce supply. The result is sharply rising prices. The primary beneficiaries are the producers, who can expect growing sales in the coming years.

Siemens Energy, Nordex, Noram Lithium, Standard Lithium - After the crash, new hype ahead?
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. In order to jointly achieve the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, a reduction of CO2 emissions in the transport sector is necessary. A significant contribution is being generated in the shift to e-mobility. Manufacturers in Europe and Asia are countering the industry leader Tesla with high double-digit billion sums for research and development. With 350,000 electric vehicles sold in Germany, 2021 will be a new record year for the industry. In 2022, experts estimate that there will be 450,000 plus hybrids. However, the green plans of the traffic light government require 1.6 million electric vehicles per year. Where are the opportunities lurking for climate-oriented investors?
