For raw materials like copper and silver, significant demand comes from industrial processes, particularly in modern data centers. Modern AI data centers consume large amounts of copper wiring both internally and for external connections.

Just more AI fucking everyone over.

10% is par for the course of greedflation, that is nothing compared to the 500% increase on RAM in 6 months.

But it's cumulative. Owning a computer is about to be like home ownership out having kids: something that used to be totally normal that now only rich people can afford.
