Copper's media sentiment is bullish:

→ Copper coverage skews towards a shortage: MarketPsych's supply-vs-demand forecast index has shown sentiment is net-negative (shortage references outweighing surplus references) for most of this year.

→ Demand expectations tied to AI infrastructure and electrification have kept copper's coverage tone steady through repeated macro shocks.

→ Miner finances are strong. Agnico Eagle's CEO cited "yet another quarter of record net income, driven by record operating margins" and raised the buyback authorization to $2 billion.

→ Freeport's CEO told analysts that US customers continue to report demand growth from AI data centers and energy infrastructure, offsetting weakness in construction and the auto industry, alongside renewed Chinese demand and inventory drawdowns.
