The days when Chinese companies imitated German products and even copied them brazenly are long gone. At best, Chinese companies are still borrowing from German products in terms of design. When it comes to the technology itself, the Chinese have long been leaders - especially when it comes to batteries for electric cars. BYD, for example, has been producing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries for a long time and uses them in its cars. Now the technology is spilling over into the West. We show what opportunities could arise from this.

  • climatechange

Since Western governments have finally started to get serious about climate protection, the media have focused on the areas of energy, mobility and health. It is clear to all participants that the changes in the world climate will lead to undesirable developments. Glaciers are melting, the earth's temperature is rising, and the oceans are already too warm for many species. Huge investments are being made in renewable power generation and modern mobility solutions, and it requires access to metals. Some companies are making a name for themselves, and shareholders can profit from this.

Mercedes-Benz, Canadian North Resources, Varta - Shortage of battery resources

  • Electromobility

Electromobility and the energy transition are essential to creating a more sustainable future. However, we need raw materials such as copper, nickel, cobalt and lithium to achieve these goals. These resources are an obstacle for many companies. Therefore, car companies are trying to secure access to these scarce resources to secure supplies for their production. In some cases, they are even developing their own batteries. The best example is Volkswagen, which wants to build 6 battery factories in Europe. So today, we look at Mercedes-Benz, analyze a possible supplier with Canadian North Resources and conclude with Varta, Germany's largest battery manufacturer.

Bayer AG, First Phosphate, Porsche - In the fast lane with the right stock mix

  • Mining
  • phosphate
  • Batteries
  • Pharma
  • Electromobility

Can sustainability and profitability go hand in hand? When looking at First Phosphate, a company that recently went public, this is true. The Company has found its place in the niche of LFP batteries for the global energy transition. Porsche AG also knows that electromobility is winning the race. The eMacan is selling so well that CFO Meschke has set a target return of 19%. Is that what Bayer's new CEO, Bill Anderson, is thinking? The conglomerate of Consumer Health, Crop Science and Pharma has more potential than the market is currently pricing in.

Commerzbank, Blackrock Silver, JinkoSolar - Banking crisis fuels demand for precious metals

May 3 was marked by the decision of the FED. The experts expect this to be the last interest rate hike for the time being. The interest rate increases of the past months have led customers to withdraw their money from the banks, which, however, had put the money into long-term government bonds that had fallen in value. Accordingly, First Republic was the next victim and the assets were sold to JP Morgan. Despite the interest rate hikes, inflation remains at a high level. This is one of the reasons why precious metals such as gold and silver have made significant gains recently. Silver is essential in many industrial sectors, especially in the production of solar panels.

The growth rates of electric car companies continue to be enormous, as the recently published sales figures of the Chinese market leader BYD show. The trend will likely continue at least until the end of this decade. According to a forecast by Statista, there will be 116 million electric vehicles worldwide in 2030, representing an increase of 1,800% since 2020. However, the transformation of the transport sector is causing an enormous demand for industrial metals. For some critical raw materials, demand is already outstripping supply.

We explain in three minutes what threatens banks and the economy and why in the end, some shares could rise particularly sharply.

Drought in southern Spain, gloomy weather in Germany - that climate change will also make itself felt in 2023 is already apparent now, at the beginning of May. In view of climate change, some authors are already calling for an end to the pursuit of growth. But is that worth striving for, and can it even be implemented in liberal democracies? We shed light on the limits of cuts and where technology could make climate protection possible without cuts.

The copper war! Nordex, Orestone Mining, Nel ASA, ThyssenKrupp - Shortage of copper weighs on Greentech expansion

The World Copper Conference 2023 took place in Chile in mid-April. According to the experts, the global energy turnaround requires huge investments in new industrial metal mines, especially copper. The red metal has become very rare, and the large deposits are working at their capacity limits. One figure made the conference participants turn pale. According to estimates by the International Copper Association (ICA), at least USD 105 billion must be invested to provide enough mining capacity for the upcoming demand. Converted into quantities, this means 6.5 million tonnes more than the production from 2022. Anyone hearing these figures doubts the successful solution to climate change. Some stocks are to be considered in this context.
