AI has become a new, very voracious consumer of raw materials, comparable in scale to entire industries. This triggers a commodity supercycle and redistributes capital in favor of those who control the basic resources of the new economy. Vitaly Kononov, an analyst at Freedom Broker's commodities sector, named the new beneficiaries of this supercycle.
