BYD, Orestone Mining, SMA Solar - Copper is the lifeline of the energy transition
Copper is an essential component of the energy transition. It has proven to be a key material for the production and operation of electric cars and solar plants because it is conductive, flexible and durable. It is also used in many other applications. The copper price has been in an intact upward trend since July last year. Copper serves as a leading indicator for the economy, and even if the price has recently come back a little, experts expect a further increase in the 2nd half of the year. Electric vehicles are on the rise worldwide and especially in China. The Middle Kingdom is hungry for raw materials. In the past few months, more gold has been bought. Today we look at three companies for which copper is important.

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.

Plug Power crashes, SMA Solar share plus 60%, and when will Almonty Industries start?
What is going on at Plug Power? Hydrogen shares are not among the investor favourites at the moment, but all dams are breaking at the US company. The share is now trading below USD 10 and EUR 9. Is an improvement in sight? The situation is different at SMA Solar. The share price of the German solar company is higher than it has been for 10 years. This year alone, it went up more than 60%. Time for a breather? The Almonty Industries share has taken such a breather in recent weeks. However, the tungsten producer is doing well operationally, and analysts see almost 200% upside potential as the Company faces a milestone.

BYD, Defense Metals, JinkoSolar - Energy transition reloaded! This is what matters now
If you order a new photovoltaic system today, you cannot avoid products from China. Even German brands often work with Chinese partners and benefit from local technology at favorable prices. But the energy transition is facing a turning point: The gap between East and West is getting deeper and deeper. We look at what this means for companies in the sector and where opportunities could arise.

Bayer, BYD, TubeSolar: Stocks for the year-end rally and beyond?
Investors are currently positioning themselves for the year-end rally. To that end, today, we look at three exciting and very different stocks. BYD has become Tesla's biggest competitor. But the "honeymoon" for electric vehicles in China is coming to an end, analysts say. What is the story? Bayer has increasingly emerged from the shadow of the glyphosate issue this year. Analysts continue to see upside potential for the DAX company. Just like the new German solar hopeful TubeSolar. If the energy turnaround is to succeed, companies like this are needed. After all, the Augsburg-based company is convincing with its innovative technology and could achieve rapid sales growth in the coming years - does this also apply to the share price?

China as a risk factor? Here is how it looks: Uniper, TubeSolar, BASF
China has repeatedly been a source of risk in recent years: We think of the real estate bubble or the trade war with the US. Now, one of China's supposed plus points could become a risk factor: the authoritarian central regime in Beijing. In just four minutes, we explain what the nationwide protests against Chinese lockdowns mean and how investors can use foresight to gain information advantages.

TubeSolar, Nordex, Siemens Energy - Energy drivers for the portfolio
German Engineering is a seal of quality, also abroad. What sometimes takes a little longer in development pays off in the long run. Solar system manufacturer TubeSolar from Augsburg can be pleased about a TÜV certification for its patented products. In Germany, the share of photovoltaics in the power grid rose by 11.2%, and worldwide the CAGR of PV installations increased by 32%. JinkoSolar, a leading Chinese manufacturer of solar modules, has also played a significant role in this growth. However, China shares entail risks. Siemens Energy is not without risk at the moment either. The management heads are changing in the internal takeover game of the Spanish wind energy company Gamesa.

Energy supply in Germany: Nordex, Siemens Energy, TubeSolar, JinkoSolar - With green power ahead!
The calendrical winter is not far away. The German government proclaims that with the measures taken, wintering is possible in Germany. Given the currently 98.5% filled gas storage facilities, the emergency has been overcome. However, experts expect supply bottlenecks by January at the latest and the need to distribute the available gas fairly among its customers. Will BASF then receive its required gas volume and all households 8.7% less - or what will the calculation look like? Difficult - this is where the dilemma facing Central Europe becomes apparent. The loss of Russian energy supplies cannot be remedied in the short term - but in the long term, GreenTech alternatives could create our security of supply. Let us take a look around for suitable investment opportunities.

Rock Tech Lithium, TubeSolar, JinkoSolar - Breakthroughs in green innovation
The European Commission plans to reduce CO2 emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990. This ambitious target for the current decade should lead to steady progress on the EU's path to climate neutrality by 2050. The key to achieving the climate turnaround is to increase the share of renewables in the overall energy mix. This should contribute at least 32% in around 8 years. But what sounds simple in theory is all the more difficult to implement in practice. That is because, in addition to raw materials that are already in short supply, there is a lack of open space for solar energy. Nevertheless, young companies, in particular, are achieving breakthroughs through innovation, which should be reflected in increased company values in the future.
