Copper continued its recovery with the rise in artificial intelligence stocks

Copper extended its rebound after last week’s sharp selloff, with the metal tracking gains in technology shares because of its use in electrical infrastructure and data centers. The recovery highlights how copper prices are increasingly sensitive to AI-related equity sentiment as investors bet on power and cooling buildouts tied to data-center expansion. Last week’s steep decline had raised concerns about demand momentum, making the latest bounce a key test of whether the pullback was temporary. Traders are now watching whether tech shares can hold their advance and whether physical copper demand from grid and data-center projects confirms the market’s optimism.
