Almonty Industries, ThyssenKrupp, Volkswagen - Tungsten: The raw material for high-tech applications!
Tungsten is a rare and valuable metal with a high melting point, hardness, corrosion resistance and good electrical and thermal conductivity. It is widely used in industry, national defence and high-tech applications. An important use of tungsten is in alloys, especially steel, where it increases the melting point, hardness and wear resistance. Now applications could be expanded even further. Researchers have developed a cathode material made from a molybdenum tungsten niobate alloy that can be used to charge electric cars in minutes.

Cameco, Tocvan Ventures, Barrick Gold - Shining in new splendor
The era of hefty interest rate hikes is coming to an end, but high inflation remains. That is bad news for the economy and society. But for precious metals, which serve as inflation protection, this is grist to the mill. In addition to the gold price, another metal has celebrated a comeback recently. Uranium was able to bottom out after a bear market that lasted for years. With demand rising due to climate change, stocks in this sector should promise sustainable gains.

Apple, Power Nickel, Volkswagen - New flights of fancy due to lithium resources
Apple shines with its new Mac Mini. Gone are the days of Intel processors. With their in-house M2 chips, a new consumer group of young creatives such as influencers, podcasters and other media professionals have an entry-level model at a fair price. No wonder the demand for metals like lithium is multiplying. The Canadian company Power Nickel can make excellent use of this boom. In its current drilling program, the results indicate high nickel deposits. This raw material is also of particular interest to Volkswagen. The group wants to invest in Canadian mines and is building six battery plants to produce and equip its EVs.

K+S, Alerio Gold, American Lithium - Which commodity stocks offer the most potential in the supercycle?
Commodities will outperform the other major asset classes, equities, bonds and currencies, in the new year. Goldman Sachs has been predicting a commodities supercycle for some time. Of course, not all commodities will perform equally well. There is a supply problem in some areas. In the US, for example, experts are critical of corn or soybean inventories. Therefore, we look at three companies and shed light on whether the commodity produced could experience a boom in 2023.

Blackout warning in the south - here's what's behind it: BASF, Manuka Resources, NEL
Last Sunday, operators of power grids in Baden-Württemberg advised people to refrain from unnecessary power consumption from 5 pm onwards because otherwise, energy would have to be imported from abroad.

Commodity stocks poised for a comeback? Barrick Gold, American Lithium, Globex Mining, Standard Lithium
Inflation is weakening, and the interest rate cycle is nearing its end. This argues for a comeback of gold mining stocks. In any case, the gold price is already pointing in the right direction. Now heavyweights like Barrick Gold must follow. Explorer shares offer disproportionate opportunities. However, Globex Mining is an interesting alternative for those who shy away from individual risks. With more than 200 investments in the commodity sector, the Canadians are positioned similarly to a fund. Currently, the cash balance alone corresponds to half of the market capitalization. In addition, there is positive news from the projects. The lithium sector is also starting to recover. Companies like Standard Lithium and American Lithium are recovering from the sell-off at the end of the year. In addition, takeover fantasy attracts.

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - Is a new price cap for Russian oil coming?
The price cap of USD 60 for a barrel of Russian oil has been in place for just over a month. According to high-ranking diplomats from both countries, Poland and Lithuania already want to lower the current maximum price once again. It is not yet clear whether the sanctions will actually have any effect. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Novak said Russia had no export problems despite the sanctions. Positive signals for oil came from the US, as inflation continues to weaken and inflation expectations also fell for the fourth month straight. In addition, according to energy traders, demand from China and Europe is picking up. We, therefore, take a closer look at three oil producers.

Last Generation in Lützerath - Greentech shares jump! Siemens Energy, Auxico Resources, JinkoSolar, and Nordex in focus
Fossil energy supply is becoming increasingly uncertain and is a red rag for the "Last Generation". What is currently happening in Lützerath could become a blueprint for Germany's energy problems in the future. The political loss of the supplier and raw material giant Russia creates a dangerous undersupply, especially for Central Europe. Due to the mild winter, gas reserves are still abundant, but public pressure is on the industry. Production processes must become more sustainable, even if this initially increases costs in the short term due to necessary investments. In the long term, however, this will sustainably renew the German industrial landscape and make it much more competitive again. Which Greentech stocks should you keep an eye on?

Auxico Resources, Rheinmetall, Rock Tech Lithium - Important news
Fears of a global recession are still pervasive, and commodity prices are at moderate levels after the sell-off of recent months. In contrast, the price of lithium remains high. The reason is the continued strong demand from the electric car industry. However, the existing supply of lithium resources is scarce. The primary beneficiaries of this shortage, in addition to existing producers, are exploration companies that have already secured attractive properties. A similar phenomenon is occurring now with the critical commodity of rare earth metals.
