Blackrock Silver, Amazon, FREYR Battery - Is now the time to get in?
The increasing demand for lithium in the fast-growing market for electric vehicles and electronic devices is helping to make the US state of Nevada a leader in the lithium industry with its abundant lithium deposits and favourable business climate. The exploration company Blackrock Silver has secured a lithium site there and is thus well-positioned for the unbroken demand for this raw material. The recently launched lithium-ion battery plant of FREYR Battery also proves the high demand. Another advantage for investors at FREYR Battery is already the more than 98% CO2-free production. This is exactly where Amazon seems to have a problem with its data centres in Oregon.

Scarcity threatens energy transition - BYD, Canadian North Resources, Encavis
Critical raw materials are becoming increasingly important with the global challenge of climate change and the need to drive the transition to renewable energy. However, these raw materials, which are essential for manufacturing technologies such as solar cells, batteries and electric motors, are limited and often difficult to access. Securing a stable and sustainable supply of critical raw materials is, therefore, one of the key challenges of climate change.

Defense Metals, Rock Tech Lithium, BYD - Shares for the energy transition
The energy transition is a major challenge for the world, as it requires transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy. In order to switch to renewable energies in the long term, large quantities of critical raw materials such as rare earths and lithium are needed. However, these raw materials are important not only for the energy transition but also for numerous other applications in modern industry. Rare earths are particularly important for the production of powerful magnets used in electric motors and generators. Lithium, on the other hand, is an essential component of lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Today, we look at three companies that can help drive the energy transition.

American Lithium, Blackrock Silver and Standard Lithium - Lithium is increasingly scarce
Lithium-ion batteries are the most common battery technology for electronic devices, electric vehicles and energy storage due to their high energy density and long life. In addition, the critical metal is used in the aerospace industry, medical technology and metal processing. Demand is rising dramatically, while supply can hardly keep up, mainly due to the mobility shift. Producers of the scarce commodity will undoubtedly emerge as the beneficiaries of this overhang in the future.

First Majestic Silver, Blackrock Silver, Xiaomi - Is the silver price about to rise again?
Silver significantly outperformed gold from September into February. In 2022, silver demand set a new record of 1.24 billion ounces at an average price of USD 21.70. This year, the Silver Institute projects an average price of USD 23. Increased interest rates mean investing in precious metals is less attractive. If the interest rate policy of the FED changes, which is expected for the second half of the year, silver should also increase significantly again. Especially since industrial demand is growing due to the expansion of renewable energies and the electronics industry cannot do without silver, to name just two sectors. We, therefore, take a look at three companies around silver.

BYD with share price jump and sales figures: What are American Lithium and Tocvan Ventures doing?
While the investor event at Tesla was eagerly awaited yesterday, the shares of competitor BYD were among the day's winners, with a price jump of over 5%. After the sell-off of the previous days, the share benefited, among other things, from good economic indicators in China. Operationally, there are also positive things to report. There is also good newsflow at Tocvan Ventures. The gold and silver explorer has completed a capital increase and presented promising drill results. The news flow should continue as the year progresses, and the share could celebrate a strong comeback. Investors are waiting for news at American Lithium. The recent sell-off seems to be over, and the stock is picking up again. When will the uranium IPO come?

First Majestic Silver, Blackrock Silver, American Lithium - Long-term opportunity
The transformation towards greenhouse gas-neutral technologies leads to a significant metal demand for corresponding critical raw materials. In addition to copper, nickel, lithium and cobalt, silver, in particular, is experiencing steadily increasing demand. In addition, the precious metal is increasingly required in medical devices, smartphones and microchips, among other things. After a correction that has lasted since 2020, the next upward wave will likely follow after a bottoming out. For investors, this is an opportunity for long-term price gains.

Nordex, American Lithium, Globex Mining, Nel - New stock favourites?
The energy transition is fuelling the raw materials boom. Solar and wind energy, hydrogen and electromobility - raw materials such as nickel, rare earths, lithium and cobalt are needed for all future technologies. Companies like Nordex and Nel ASA need the raw materials. The Nordex share has had a challenging year. But analysts see the light at the end of the tunnel. The wind turbine manufacturer is introducing a new product. At Nel, experts advise selling, and the annual figures are due soon from the Scandinavians. In contrast, Globex Mining continues to be traded as an outperformer even after the 50% rally since November 2022. The quality of the resource projects is high, and the share is being revalued. American Lithium has also performed strongly since Q4 2022. The uranium subsidiary is expected to provide the next share price jump. However, bad news is coming from China for the lithium sector. This time, Tesla is not instigating the price war.

K+S, Tocvan Ventures, Rock Tech Lithium - Shares with doubling potential
On February 22, the meeting of the US Federal Reserve FED will take place. The results are eagerly awaited, as economic data have recently been mixed and difficult to interpret. The Consumer Confidence Index recently climbed significantly. However, since inflation has fallen less than expected, this could point to another interest rate hike. Rising interest rates are bad for the equity markets, as some investors may prefer to put their money into US government bonds. Regardless of the news, some stocks offer great potential at current levels. We take a closer look at three of these stocks today.

Rare earth revolution instead of China dependency: BYD, Auxico Resources, American Lithium
China's rise has been long planned. Thanks to strategically aligned five-year plans, the former agricultural state now has a dominant market position in many areas. Examples include the Greentech sector and the business with modern electricity storage systems for electric cars. But alternatives are slowly emerging. Alternatives that also give hope to German industry.
