Covestro, Globex Mining, and Deutz with significant momentum
The rising demand for industrial metals from the renewable energy sector and the increased demand from the defense industry due to the current geopolitical shift pose significant challenges for the Western world. In addition to exploring its own deposits, an improvement in trade relations with China would be desirable. However, following the visit of the Minister of Economic Affairs to China's most important trading partner, this wish has receded into the distant future.

Rapid energy transition, metals remain in demand! JinkoSolar, Globex Mining, BYD and VW under scrutiny!
"Goodbye Hydrogen" - that is how investors in H2 stocks might title their investment success in 2023. On average, shares in the booming sector lost up to 85% in 2021. But the year is not over yet. Plug Power shares were hit hard last week, experiencing a sell-off of over 35% after the Q3 figures. The fundamental environment was ignored for many months, but now gravity is returning and sending overvalued stocks into the cellar. It is an environment for buyers willing to conduct some analysis. We help navigate the figures.

Clean energy clearly in buy mode! Plug Power, Siemens Energy, Regenx Tech, Nordex - Clean returns instead of summer blues!
The energy turnaround will be challenging, as is now well-known in Berlin. Those who wish to completely abandon fossil energy supply must make significant investments in the future. Alternative technologies for energy generation are already on the horizon, but the implementation up to the grid connection is complicated and requires resources. Unfortunately, the anticipated reduction in CO2 savings will only materialize after more than 15 years of operation, so the expected positive environmental scenario is also a long way off. It is also evident that high-quality and rare raw materials must be transferred to a circular economy, as their availability is limited. Where are the opportunities for investors in the long process of energy rebalancing?

Raw materials war - is China getting serious? BASF, Mercedes-Benz, Almonty Industries
Energy transition, smartphones, semiconductors, armaments and more are driving our hunger for critical raw materials. But woe betide if China gets serious and severely restricts the export of critical raw materials. There is already a foretaste: the minerals gallium and germanium can no longer be exported without Beijing's approval. China is by far the leading producer of critical raw materials and rare earths. The EU gets 71% of its gallium and 45% of its germanium from China. So it urgently needs alternative suppliers. In the case of tungsten, Almonty Industries could provide supply. The Company is on the verge of starting operations at a huge mine in South Korea. From 2024, sales and profits are expected to climb sharply. Mercedes could also benefit from this. The Stuttgart-based company has just announced plans to invest billions more in electromobility. BASF, on the other hand, is going straight to China.
