There are hardly any goods left that have not become more expensive. Inflation in Germany has now risen again to almost eight percent. In the coming months, even double-digit inflation rates are expected. As calculated by the Federal Statistical Office, heating oil, fuel and electricity were around 35 percent more expensive in August than in August 2021. For food, the inflation rate was a good 16 percent. And higher inflation rates reduce consumers' purchasing power. Many already have to save in view of the high energy costs in the coming months. The fact that inflation is now set to rise is due to the end of the fuel rebate and the nine-euro ticket. In October, the gas levy will be added. The inflation rate of two percent targeted by the European Union is thus becoming a distant prospect.
That the days of low inflation are over is also believed by a growing number of well-known financial groups. Labor costs are higher, and globalization is no longer in such demand, the world economy is changing. The international sanctions against Russia are causing disrupted supply chains. That's when investments in commodities and natural resources should be increased. In the long run, green metals should offer very good opportunities for investors, as do gold and silver. Lithium, which is used in lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles, has risen in price to near-record levels in China and the United States.
According to forecasts, 64 million electric vehicles will be sold worldwide by 2040. In 2021, the figure was still 6.6 million. An investment in companies with lithium such as Alpha Lithium or ION Energy could therefore be worthwhile.
Alpha Lithium - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyBOY72WjuM - is developing the Tollilar salar (27,500 hectares in size, only 33 percent explored) and Hombre Muerto in Argentina ("lithium triangle").
ION Energy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu0HcV0vEdA - is looking after two lithium projects in Mongolia, a mining-friendly country.
