This seems to be changing as of late, following improving leading economic indicators, particularly in the copper market,&#8221; highlights Carsten Menke, Head of Next Generation Research at Julius Baer, who notes that prices have risen more than 6% since the beginning of the month.<\/p>\n<p>For Julius Baer, the growth of data centers amid the AI boom is not one of the reasons for the appreciation. &#8220;Most of the copper used in data centres is related to power distribution, with the remainder being related to the cooling system. This should result in less than 1% of additional demand growth during the next decade,&#8221; concludes the expert, who considers the decrease in supply growth as a point to be monitored.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From : investing.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The demand in the\u00a0copper\u00a0market has been improving, with a more positive cyclical outlook, according to Julius Baer, which points to the energy transition as the strongest growth driver, including electric vehicle production and the installation of solar panels and wind turbines. &#8220;Some have been labelling artificial intelligence data centres as another source of demand, but [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vinacopper.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2130","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vinacopper.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vinacopper.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vinacopper.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vinacopper.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2130"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/vinacopper.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2130\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vinacopper.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vinacopper.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vinacopper.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
