The summer has caused a lethargic mood on the stock market. There are inflation concerns, and also, the pandemic is again leading to many hospitalizations in many countries. Nevertheless, the markets seem to have weathered the worst. The closer we get to fall, the more likely future issues will dominate the market again. Whenever issues of mobility or regenerative energy come up, commodities also come into play. We take a look at three shares related to popular commodities.

    Teck Resources: The right mix

    Teck Resources is a well-known producer of raw materials. The Company mines copper, zinc and coal for steel production and energy raw materials. The latter commodities have fallen out of focus in the wake of the ESG discussion, but they are still needed. Today, more than 50% of the global energy mix still consists of fossil fuels. While the share of renewable sources will grow, sustainably produced and wisely used fossil fuels will remain important worldwide. Teck Resources is therefore not on the sidelines with its business.

    In addition, copper and zinc, in particular, are in high demand. New technologies such as electric drives and the batteries they require depend on industrial metals - Teck mines these metals in North America, among other places. Strict environmental regulations here ensure that mining is as sustainable as possible. In addition, raw material companies in this region are motivated to implement ESG criteria even more vehemently. Teck is working on electrifying even heavy equipment. The stock has weakened somewhat in the past three months but is still in stable waters. However, investors should not expect any major surprises.

    GSP Resource: Mini valuation - Maximum opportunities

    A company that operates in the immediate vicinity of Teck Resources is the small Company GSP Resource. Virtually surrounded by Teck's Highland Valley copper and molybdenum mine, GSP Resource holds a promising property. The Highland Valley mine represented USD 993 million in sales in 2020, and GSP Resource is looking to build on that success with its Alwin project or develop the project to the point where larger companies, Teck Resources being the obvious one, will make a takeover bid. Teck Resources' results to date indicate that the deposits that exist at Teck's mine also extend into GSP Resource's area. GSP drilled high grades of 0.313% copper equivalent over a distance of 61.7 meters in 2020. The 2019 ore grade (head grade) was 0.278% at the Highland Valley mine next door.

    GSP Resource's stock is currently valued at less than EUR 5 million. The Company is currently drilling and doing everything to further develop the property near Teck Resources' mine. In addition, Olivine Mountain is a second copper project in British Columbia, located only a few kilometers away from the producing mine of Copper Mountain. The stock is highly speculative but has not yet been bought up by gamblers. As soon as industrial metals become a topic again, speculative-oriented investors should have the share on their radar.

    Standard Lithium: Now going downhill

    Many gamblers have the shares of Standard Lithium on their minds. The Company is pursuing the goal of becoming the lithium supplier for the US automotive industry. The share quickly surged and held steady around EUR 7 for weeks in the wake of this news. Recent, however, the value slipped below the EUR 5 mark. That suggests another sell-off, or at least that the hype value has run out of steam for the time being. Innovative lithium companies that mine sustainably and possibly focus on recycling have a great future - but investors should be cautious about short-term hype like that of Standard Lithium.


    Especially during a sour period in the market, it is a good time for investors to do their homework. The risk of prices running away is low during this market phase. Those convinced of industrial metals and their importance for new technology can seize opportunities, especially in smaller companies with low capital investment. GSP Resource is a stock that can be profitable due to promising projects and small market capitalization.

    Endless Rally Ahead? 150% Upside Potential? LPKF Laser, SÜSS MicroTec, Power Metallic Mines

    The semiconductor rally has also lifted German stocks. LPKF Laser surged nearly 40% over the past week, while SÜSS MicroTec has gained a solid 40% since the end of March. However, analysts are urging caution - could the rally be running out of steam? In contrast, Power Metallic Mines may still offer significant upside. Some analysts see 150% upside potential. The commodity stock could also benefit from the exploding semiconductor demand, as large quantities of copper have been discovered in Canada. After all, copper remains indispensable not only for semiconductors but for a wide range of industrial applications. This positioning also makes Power Metallic Mines a potential takeover candidate.

    Automotive Supply Chain Reset: Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and ESG Leader Power Metallic Mines

    The automotive industry is under immense pressure: its supply chains for essential battery raw materials such as nickel, copper, and cobalt urgently need to become independent of Chinese imports. According to reports from the International Energy Agency (IEA), China currently controls around 80% of global production capacity for lithium-ion batteries and as much as 97% of the value chain for anode materials. A one-month supply stoppage would result in losses of over USD 8.5 billion in the European Union alone, according to the agency. While automakers such as Ford are transitioning production at their Cologne plant to all-electric fleets and require secure sources of raw materials in stable jurisdictions to do so, Mercedes-Benz is pursuing a strategy of direct participation in mining projects to ensure compliance with the strict environmental standards of its Ambition 2039 initiative. In this tense market environment, Power Metallic Mines is specifically exploring copper, nickel, and platinum group metal deposits in Canada. The flagship project is the Nisk project in Quebec, which is set to supply the entire range of key metals. By utilizing modern exploration technologies, the company is precisely identifying the resources that are indispensable for the next generation of high-performance batteries and catalysts for the automotive giants.

    The Strait of Hormuz is currently one of the most frequently cited geopolitical buzzwords in international media. At the same time, potential supply chain bottlenecks involving critical metals have been the subject of intense discussion for months. The valuation of high-tech and AI companies is largely based on the continuous expansion of computing capacities and the necessary electrical infrastructure. This transformation process requires enormous quantities of industrial metals and strategic raw materials. In the ongoing war scenario, however, everything is being put to the test! Against this backdrop, Power Metallic Mines is positioning itself with its NISK project in a market environment increasingly shaped by raw material security and supply chain stability. On the other hand, Heidelberger Druck and LPKF Laser are betting on an operational turnaround with different technological approaches. We analyze the relevant drivers, risks, and valuation prospects in detail.
