Could copper be the next oil?

'The CRU research demonstrates that global copper demand is forecast to grow from 28.3 million tonnes (Mt) in 2020 to 40.9Mt in 2040 with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) of 1.85 percent. This growth is anticipated to come from traditional demand sectors as well as from new sectors driven by the green energy transition, such as growth in electric vehicle adoption, renewable energy integration, and grid infrastructure expansion and maintenance.

Speaking on the regional variation in copper demand, panelist Juan Brihet, CRU Senior Consultant, remarked that “while demand is expected to grow across all regions globally over the forecast time horizon, there are disparities in growth across different regions.” This was echoed by Charlie Murrah, Executive Vice President/Chief Supply Chain Officer of Southwire Co., who asserted that “copper and aluminum demand is often driven by the regional macro-economic environment. The supply of the natural resources needed to satisfy demand is often disjointed.” This regional variation is outlined in the CRU study, which identifies major growth for copper demand in India, with a CAGR of 7 percent, closely followed by the ASEAN region with forecast growth of 6 percent. While these regions are expected to lead the way, CRU projects demand growth will reach 3 percent in North America, 2 percent in South America and less than 1 percent in both China and Europe.'

NVIDIA Announces Blueprint for AI Retail Shopping Assistants

Intraday Stock Chart

NRF—NVIDIA today announced the NVIDIA AI Blueprint for retail shopping assistants, a generative AI reference workflow designed to transform shopping experiences online and in stores.

The blueprint — built on the NVIDIA AI Enterprise and NVIDIA Omniverse™ platforms — helps developers create AI-powered digital assistants that work alongside and support human workers. These digital assistants can deliver the expertise of a company’s best sales associate, stylist or designer, elevating customer satisfaction and workforce efficiency.

Using NVIDIA NeMo™ microservices provided within the blueprint, these highly skilled AI shopping assistants can understand text- and image-based prompts, search for multiple items simultaneously, complete complicated tasks such as creating a travel wardrobe, and answer contextual questions like whether a product is waterproof.

Developers can use the Omniverse platform in conjunction with a spatial-scanning solution to enable AI agents to present products in physically accurate virtual environments. For example, customers looking to buy a couch could preview how the furniture would look in their own living room.

AI agents with advanced capabilities like these are designed to enhance customer experiences, drive higher conversion rates, lower product return rates and increase the average size of orders through highly intelligent, personalized suggestions of complementary products or upgrades.

“AI agents can elevate shopping experiences, turning what can be impersonal transactions into smarter, more enjoyable interactions,” said Azita Martin, vice president of AI for retail, consumer packaged goods and quick-service restaurants at NVIDIA. “Shoppers everywhere want intelligent product recommendations, personalized interactions and lightning-fast response times. AI agents built using the NVIDIA AI Blueprint for retail shopping assistants can deliver this kind of exceptional, always-on service to every customer.”
