The green wave keeps rolling! Siemens Energy, Nel ASA, Alpha Copper, Plug Power - Copper now at 7,800!
Not enough copper is being mined! Despite this, the price has recently corrected by about 25%. It is mainly due to the worse economic expectations for the coming years. The orders are therefore falling, and the price is also falling slightly. However, the warehouses, due to many strong basic trends such as electromobility, will soon ensure that there will be a renewed shortage. These recurring economic trends, the increasingly difficult supply chain issue and the now high-interest rates are causing high planning uncertainty. Ultimately, they also weigh on mine output locally. We look at the opportunities and risks of the green wave!

Nel, Steinhoff, Viva Gold: What is going on?
Is the rebound coming for the Nel share, or are all the dams breaking? At the moment, this is the situation with the popular hydrogen specialist. After the quarterly figures, Credit Suisse, among others, lowered their thumbs and the share is also clearly battered on the chart. The latter also applies to Viva Gold. Operationally, things are going well for the Canadians. Can a stabilizing gold price turn investors' attention to the low valuation? Investors have been debating for years whether Steinhoff is favorably valued or not. Recently, the share price jumped significantly. What is going on?

Allkem, Infinity Stone, FREYR Battery - Nobody can avoid these stocks!
The current energy crisis makes us painfully aware of how much we have slept through the restructuring of our energy supply in recent decades. The famous scientist Carl Sagan explained in a speech already in 1990, 32 years ago, why a restructuring of the energy supply makes sense completely apart from the effects of the greenhouse effect. Namely, reducing dependence on difficult supplier countries, increasing energy security by extension of fossil resources, and stimulating the economy by creating new industries. Now, finally, we seem to be on the right track. Shareholders can also benefit greatly - if they back the right horses.

Rock Tech Lithium, Edison Lithium, Albemarle, Allkem - Defying the recession
Fears of a global recession continue to grow, with prices for commodities such as copper, lumber, cotton and even grains correcting sharply. In contrast, the lithium price continues to hold at a high level after the explosive rise at the beginning of the year. The reason for this is the continued strong demand from the electric car industry. In China alone, sales of electric cars amounted to 3.2 million units last year, and 5 million vehicles are expected to be delivered this year. In contrast, the existing supply of lithium resources is scarce. In addition to existing producers, the primary beneficiaries of this shortage are the exploration companies, which have already been able to secure attractive properties.

BYD, Varta, Globex Mining: Shares with diversification
Diversification reduces risks. This applies not only to investments but also to companies. BYD, for example, sells not only cars but also batteries, commercial vehicles and more. The focus is currently clearly on the car division, but the Chinese group is also stepping on the gas in its foreign expansion in other areas. With more than 200 holdings in the commodities sector, Globex Mining is also broadly diversified, and its cash holdings alone now account for a good half of its market capitalization. In addition, there is positive news from the projects. Varta is trying to diversify with its entry into battery production. However, the Company is not making any progress in this. Perhaps there will be news at an investor conference next week.

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - Oil stocks benefit from the colder season
There was a lot of news relevant to the oil price in September. Earlier in the month, Gazprom announced it would no longer send gas through Nord Stream 1 due to an oil leak. Shortly thereafter, the G7 countries decided on a price cap for Russian oil to take effect in December. OPEC announced on September 5 that it would cut production. The reason given was fear of an economic slowdown. The EU also decided on various measures to cope with the energy shortage, including a solidarity contribution by companies for fossil fuels to support socially vulnerable households. Even though the oil price has softened somewhat recently due to recession fears, the seasonalities show that the price will likely pick up again in December. Winter is creating additional demand for oil.

Trade war and new world order: BYD, NIO, Almonty Industries, Airbus
Just a few weeks ago, US carmaker Tesla succeeded in signing long-term contracts in China for the supply of crucial battery metals. At the same time, market experts emphasize that the situation for Western customers in China is becoming increasingly uncertain. The US is also not helping to ease the situation with subsidies for e-cars and batteries, most of which come from the United States. We highlight three stocks and explain how things could go in the current situation.

Siemens Energy, Barsele Minerals, Nordex, HelloFresh - Markets under the spell of the Fed
The all-dominant topic this week is the interest rate decision of the US Federal Reserve. On Wednesday, a further tightening of interest rates is considered a certainty. However, experts even assume the largest interest rate step for over 40 years with an increase of a whole percentage point. Of course, this would weigh on the precious metals and crypto sectors in addition to the stock markets. In the medium term, however, a change in strategy by the monetary guardians could be on the horizon.

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Newmont - Eyes are on the FED
On Wednesday, September 21, the FED is expected to raise interest rates again. After the poor inflation rates in the past week, the fear of a large interest rate step of 100 basis points is going around. The indices reacted immediately and priced in the possible rate hike. So did the gold price, which has been suffering from rising interest rates and the strong dollar for weeks anyway. It does not help that gold has long been considered a hedge against inflation. The precious metal cannot currently take on this function, but that could change if the expectation of Stanley Druckenmiller, a billionaire and former hedge fund manager, is correct that the stock markets will hardly yield any returns in the next 10 years. So today, we look at three gold companies.
