$COPX ~ Investment Bank “Bernstein” thinks the copper market breaks in 2027 and by 2040 the hole is 13 million tonnes deep which is nearly half of everything the world produces today in Sept 2026 (Save this). The chart below shows a roughly balanced copper market from 2018 through 2026, then bars that turn negative in 2027 and never recover, widening sharply after 2035 unless we see a global depression killing demand (not impossible). ~ “Copper matters hugely for the 3 trillion “Off Balance Sheet” AI Infrastructure debt boom because it is the physical substance electricity travels through & there is no substitute at scale as of Sept 2026. An AI campus needs roughly 27 to 33 tonnes of copper per megawatt across electricity wiring, transformers, gas turbines, switchgear, & cooling systems so a 150 MW site consumes about 4,500 tonnes of copper. Most of that is power distribution rather than data cable which is the key detail that gets missed in the optics debate.” $QQQ $GDX $CPER $SPY
