Copper is used in data centers for power cables, electrical connectors, power strips and more, Jefferies noted in an April 10 note. It estimates that global copper demand by data centers will increase from 239 kt (thousand tons) in 2023 to at least 450 kt per annum in 2030. "Hopes for GenAI / data centre copper demand growth are adding to investor bullishness on copper, against a backdrop of constrained supply," it wrote. For those looking to buy into the sector, CNBC Pro screened for stocks in the Global X Copper Miners ETF. In addition to the Global X Copper Miners ETF, those who want to invest in this sector via exchange-traded funds can consider the Sprott Copper Miners ETF and the iShares Copper and Metals Mining ETF.

☆ Keen on harvesting tax losses? Scotiabank names 10 Canadian stocks as 'prime candidates'
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-15 | by ( Ganesh Rao | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

As the end of the year approaches, investors are likely to be reviewing their portfolios and considering which stocks to sell to harvest tax losses. Tax-loss harvesting is a strategy to offset capital gains tax from stocks that have run up in share price with losses from non-performing stocks. To aid investors, Scotiabank identified several stocks on Canada's TSX Composite index that are down significantly this year but are still rated as "Sector Outperform" by its analysts. "These are prime candidates to keep long-term exposure to despite recent weakness," said Scotiabank analysts led by Hugo Ste-Marie in a note to clients on Nov. 13. Scotiabank pointed out that the top 20 stocks in the S & P 500 index are up significantly this year, while the remaining 480 stocks are showing losses on average.

Copper prices are at their lowest levels in almost a year, but it could provide investors with a buying opportunity. In another May report, Goldman Sachs gave copper prices 25% upside over the next 12 months, rising to $11,000 per ton. Copper prices suffered a nearly 6% decline in May — on pace for the worst month in almost a year since June 2022, according to CNBC analysis. But the market is currently in a "significant deficit" phase, said Goldman analysts. Filo Mining , another Canadian miner, had the highest buy rating at 91%.

The Voladores of Veracruz in Mexico have a history that goes back at least 1,400 years. “The flying ritual has never had a learning age, it is a project of a lifetime,” he says. Nearly all of the Voladores train in or around Papantla, where the flying schools prepare young people to take over for those who are eventually aging out. Coffee, ancient ruins and an overlooked capital cityMen with ankle ropes flying deftly around a pole are not the only export from this state, though. The big draw, however, is Mexico’s second most important archaeological museum after the one in Mexico City.

The demand surge in metals such as copper, nickel and lithium "has only just begun," according to Goldman Sachs. Demand for copper in particular is set to rise to 17% of total demand for so-called green metals by 2030, according to Goldman, from 7% currently. Meanwhile, UBS in a separate March note was also bullish on the outlook for copper demand, saying there is a $60 billion opportunity in EV charging infrastructure. This will lead to a significant rise in copper demand, the bank added. Copper and gold miner SolGold was the only other firm with a 100% buy rating, although its upside was more limited at over 10%.

Au fost însă excluse din testament rudele femeii, care au încercat anul trecut să o interneze într-un centru pentru îngrijiri. Sper că Bunul Dumnezeu nu va voi să mă pedepsească pentru asta”, a scris dr. Torelli în testament. Din testament nu lipsește asistenta fostei dentiste, iar soțului ei i-a rămas o casă din Prato Nevoso. În februarie, tot la Genova, o profesoară ieşită la pensie a lăsat moştenire 25 de milioane de euro pentru 16 instituţii, printre care spitale şi organizaţii de caritate, dar şi persoane fizice. Edmonda Marisa Cavanna nu a uitat nici de femeia care a asistat-o în ultimele luni de viaţă, căreia i-a lăsat 3,7 milioane de euro.
