Back to basics: JinkoSolar, Alpha Copper, Varta
Without energy, everything is nothing. Every craft business, for example, in metal processing, depends on energy. The need in industry is much greater. But how can investors profit from the energy turnaround? Are the obvious stocks really the best choice? Or is it more promising to think very fundamentally? Here is an analysis between groundbreaking opportunities and solid basic investments.

Forget lithium! Now comes vanadium! Nordex, Manuka Resources, ThyssenKrupp
Since February 24 at the latest, a new era has also begun in Germany. While before that, it was still possible to avoid the energy turnaround somewhat, the war has changed everything. Fossil fuels are no longer just considered dirty, but also expensive. The energy turnaround that has been triggered is also shaking up the stock market. We present companies that could surprise positively and clarify how investors should best invest.

Fuel price explosion: 200% jump in profits for stocks - BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell, BYD
Energy consumption in Europe is currently declining slightly, partly due to the new savings mentality, especially in Germany, but also to a weighty extent due to a slowdown in economic momentum. In their latest estimates, the German research institutes have also made clear reductions; expectations for 2022 are now only just in the black, and a recession could be on the cards next year. That would not be surprising, as the consumer has to bear inflation rates of an official 7-10%, which cannot be compensated for on the revenue side. The obvious winners so far are the big oil multinationals because they do not have to do anything but sell the oil they produce at a high price. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Defense Metals, Thyssenkrupp, Rheinmetall - New problems with critical raw materials
Many people are currently suffering from high energy costs, which are also affecting companies. Some of their products are becoming significantly more expensive as a result. Added to this is the smoldering trade conflict between the USA and China. Most recently, Nvidia was no longer allowed to export two of its chips to China. China and Russia are rich in raw materials and, in some cases, have a monopoly. There are already many critical metals whose demand can currently only be met by China. The most important of these are rare earths, over 90% of which are processed in China. The EU and the US are trying to become more independent but are encountering new problems. The critical metals industry urgently needs new skilled workers. In many companies, experienced engineers have long since reached retirement age. There is an acute need for action here.

Barrick Gold, Barsele Minerals, Nordex - This will now be important
The strong US dollar, rising US yields and increasing fears of further major interest rate hikes are weighing on the precious metals markets. In this context, the precious yellow metal is facing an important test. Thus, the USD 1,680.59 per troy ounce gold mark is a prominent support level. If the low for the year is broken, there is a threat of a further drop to the region around USD 1,620 per ounce. In the long term, this level should serve as an entry level because containment of inflation through further interest rate steps can hardly be assumed in the current situation. This results in timely anticyclical entry opportunities in selected producers and exploration companies.

1.5 trillion Dollar crisis or special boom? K+S, Globex Mining, JinkoSolar
Jochen Stanzl of trading house CMC Markets warned at the beginning of the week of a "Lehman Moment" in the energy sector. In Wednesday's Handelsblatt, this scenario was explained in detail. According to the Norwegian energy company Equinor, the total volume of all margins on the European electricity and gas market amounts to USD 1.5 trillion. Margins are security deposits in futures transactions. In this article, we outline the explosive power this offers, which supposedly safe sectors could suffer and where the blissful islands are.

SGL Carbon, Viva Gold, Formycon - Strong news in the bear market
The stock markets are reeling, and uncertainties and tensions have increased in recent days. Thus, not only did the stock market corrected, but the DAX sank again significantly below the 13,000 mark due to the stop of gas deliveries via Nord Stream 1, and other asset classes such as precious metals, cryptocurrencies and even oil dropped significantly. Nevertheless, even in the bear market, there are companies that can shine with excellent reports and should be among the winners in a possible upward movement.

Commodity shares K+S, Barrick Gold, Manuka Resources: Gold price at 50,000?
The price of a troy ounce of gold rises to USD 50,000. This scenario is probably the dream of every gold bull and also for companies like Barrick Gold and Manuka Resources. John Butler has proclaimed this price target. The Head of Treasury of TallyMoney and author of The Golden Revolution has described the scenario to reach this price target in an interview. The prerequisite is that the world moves to a gold standard monetary system. And this is not as unlikely as one might think because the economic dominance of the USA has been declining for years, and the BRICS countries are reportedly already working on a reserve currency. K+S is also currently under pressure. Price targets of analysts differ significantly.

Edison Lithium, Rock Tech Lithium, BYD - Shares of the entire lithium value chain
Since all car companies have entered the e-mobility market, the demand for batteries for electric vehicles has skyrocketed. An all-out battle has broken out for the components needed for this, which is reflected above all in the price of lithium. While the price was around USD 5,000 per ton at the end of 2020, it was most recently quotes around USD 73,000. Experts even consider further price increases up to USD 100,000 possible because demand is significantly higher than supply. The German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources also comes to this conclusion. The lithium market promises to remain exciting in the coming years. Therefore, today we look at three companies along the value chain.
