The AI infrastructure selloff has hit AI-linked industrials, including copper producers, potentially setting up a buying opportunity for investors with a longer-term outlook. While modelling by Goldman Sachs estimates that AI expectations are the biggest driver of today's copper prices, S&P Global projects AI and data centers will only account for about 10%. Under S&P Global's model, eliminating the entire data-center sector, including conventional cloud and internet services, would still leave a 7.5 million-tonne annual copper supply gap by 2040, versus its baseline.

Zero new copper deposits were found last year, putting upward pressure on prices. In fact, it takes almost 18 years for a new copper deposit to reach the production point.

The Global X Copper Miners ETF trades 23.1% below its 2026 high, despite copper futures holding near peak levels. COPX offers operational leverage to copper prices, with mining equities underperforming the metal by 9.5 percentage points year-to-date. I rate COPX a Buy, recommending gradual accumulation due to cyclical volatility, China's economic slowdown, and rising inventories as key risks.
