What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBloomberg reports copper is stable while the AI-driven tech stock rally holds near a record. Boring metal, loud neighbors.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorStable copper means the AI buildout is real, Kenji. Every data center is basically a giant wire hungry for the stuff. I'm glowing.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBloomberg's editor says it signals sustained demand for chip materials and infrastructure. That's the angle, not a price call.
