Saturn Oil + Gas, Bayer, Amazon - Big business on a growth path

  • Mining
  • Oil
  • Pharma
  • entertainment

The oil industry is booming again: since Russia has been severely sanctioned, EU companies are fleeing to their international production sites to operate cost-efficiently. The winner in the energy poker is Saturn Oil & Gas. The Canadian company is now presenting its results for fiscal year 2022. What is clear is how hard the Company has worked on substance to grow steadily. Change is also felt at Bayer in the wake of the CEO change. Research in the field of women's health is discontinued, only one new blockbuster is still in the pipeline, but it is a big one. The fact that the stock market is associated with fear and greed is shown by the jump in AMC's share price. Just one piece of news from Amazon takeover rumors has investors jumping at the chance.

Scarcity threatens energy transition - BYD, Canadian North Resources, Encavis

  • Mining
  • Lithium
  • Batteries
  • Electromobility

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.

Copper massively missing - what to do? Nordex, Orestone Mining, JinkoSolar - Greentech shares in the focus of investors

  • Mining
  • Copper
  • Gold
  • GreenTech
  • Technology

The energy transition in Europe can only work if critical metals such as copper, lithium or nickel remain available. For an almost complete electrification of road traffic from 2035 onwards, quantities of copper 3 to 7 times the current consumption are required. At present, however, hardly any new mines are coming on stream. It will therefore be exciting to see which copper source the EU will soon tap in order to supply industrial sites with the coveted metal. So the EU Council of Experts should urgently look for a few mining consultants and have the current decisions verified by the Fairy Tale Department. How do we manage it after all?

Defense Metals, Rock Tech Lithium, BYD - Shares for the energy transition

  • Mining
  • RareEarths
  • Tungsten
  • Lithium
  • Electromobility

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.

Market failure! Highs and lows at BASF, Myriad Uranium, Vonovia

  • Mining
  • Uranium
  • chemicals
  • RealEstate

We all know efficient markets from the textbook. There, buyers and sellers always come together - and in the end, there is no apple left over. In reality, markets are highly complex and are sometimes dependent on external factors that can change everything overnight. Today we look at BASF's business in China, the real estate market and the emerging market for uranium.

Critical metals existential - Plug Power, Almonty Industries, Nordex

  • Mining
  • Tungsten
  • renewableenergies
  • Batteries

The electric car market is poised for further exponential growth in the current decade. Supplier Bosch predicts that by 2030, two-thirds of all newly registered cars in Europe will be electric. As demand for e-vehicles grows, so does the need for the materials to make batteries. In addition to lithium, the critical metal tungsten is playing an increasingly important role due to its high density and high melting point. Up to now, production has taken place almost exclusively in China. However, a Canadian company that could become a supplier to the western world in the future is causing quite a stir.

E-cars - Out of a dream! BYD, BMW, First Phosphate

  • Mining
  • Phosphate
  • Electromobility
  • Sustainability

While German politicians are still discussing the end of the internal combustion engine, major car companies have long since made up their minds. The future is electric. But the mobility revolution is far from being a done deal! We explain where there are still pitfalls and why a small company from Canada could soon be sitting at the big levers to make the dream of clean e-mobility come true for everyone.

American Lithium, Blackrock Silver and Standard Lithium - Lithium is increasingly scarce

  • Mining
  • Silver
  • Gold
  • Lithium
  • Uranium

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.

In recent weeks, two major banks, Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse, have caught the attention of investors as both institutions struggle with various problems. These developments have rekindled fears of a possible banking crisis, prompting investors to seek safe havens. One of the winners of this development has been the price of gold, which has surged in recent days. So today, we look at two precious metals companies and Deutsche Bank.

First Phosphate, Volkswagen and Vonovia - Winners in climate poker

  • Mining
  • phosphate
  • Electromobility

On March 26, the residents of Berlin will vote on whether their city should become climate neutral by 2030 - 3.6 million inhabitants travel daily by car, bus and train. For mineral explorer companies like First Phosphate, the potential acceleration in demand is already a win-win, as demand for basic materials for batteries increases dramatically. Volkswagen, for example, may soon launch large-scale industrial production of cathode materials (CAM) and precursor materials (PCAM) in Europe, thanks to the go-ahead from regulators. Vonovia is also getting enterprising: the group owns 136,000 apartments in Berlin.
