The recent surge in the non-ferrous metals sector is not driven by improvements in fundamentals or supply pressures, but rather is highly tied to the AI technology boom. This has caused assets like copper and related commodities to perform particularly strongly within the non-ferrous category—they are essentially investment amplifiers under the AI narrative.
But there is a critical problem: high correlation is a double-edged sword. Once the AI concept experiences a correction or decline, copper prices will definitely follow, and the reaction could be even more intense. Therefore, funds that are purely riding the AI hype will also be the first to fall when the market turns.
By comparison, traditional safe-haven assets like gold and silver are truly defensive weapons. They do not rely on any single narrative and tend to be the most stable choices during periods of uncertainty and risk release. In facing future variables, these seemingly "low-profile" assets actually provide investors with the greatest certainty.

The recent surge in copper prices is indeed outrageous, but it's just the shadow of the AI concept. Once the trend shifts, it will all come back down, and those following the trend will have nowhere to cry.

Copper's recent surge is fierce, but honestly, it's just the AI concept's bagholder. Once the trend shifts, it'll fall even harder.
Gold and silver are the real kings; old-school assets are actually more resistant to drops.
Following the trend always leads to losses. This time, everyone should remember that.
One sentence: chasing hot topics is like chasing the bagholder; it's better to play it safe.

This wave of copper price increase is entirely driven by the AI bubble. When it crashes, gold and silver will be the absolute safe havens.

theoretically speaking, the correlation coefficient here is basically just a leveraged bet on sentiment, not fundamentals... once the ai narrative deflates (and it will), copper holders gonna learn what negative convexity actually means the hard way. gold's looking pretty optimal from a risk-adjusted standpoint tbh
