Driven by the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure, prices for "computing metals" skyrocketed in H1 2026. Core minor metals like tin, tantalum, and indium saw gains exceeding 40%, 158%, and 60%, respectively. These materials are critical for advanced semiconductor packaging, optical modules, and liquid cooling systems in AI servers. Major metals like copper and aluminum also maintain high price levels. This surge reflects a fundamental demand shift from traditional real estate to emerging tech sectors, significantly boosting profits for upstream mining companies while squeezing margins for downstream manufacturers.
