By Tae Kim Surging demand for artificial intelligence might exacerbate a copper shortage later this decade, J.P. Morgan warns. Copper is an essential component for power infrastructure upgrades based upon its electrical conductivity, use in wires, and relative low cost. Data centers will need to revamp their power and cooling systems as AI servers draw more power per square foot.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows: JPM share price has done well, and we think there is more room to run with a healthy U.S. economy and consumer, low unemployment, and stable credit.

Second, we think mid-size companies are looking to shift loans and other services to larger banks like JPM. Third, JPM has a
