Gold rose from about $1,800 per ounce at the start of 2022 to an all-time high above $5,500 in January 2026, then fell to roughly $4,060 by late October 2026, with the article citing persistently high inflation and the freezing of about $300 billion in Central Bank of Russia reserves as early drivers. An October 27 Reuters poll cut its average gold-price forecast to $4,495 per ounce but raised its 2027 annual-average forecast to $4,650. Higher Treasury yields and a firm dollar are cited as headwinds, while central-bank purchases offer support. Over the past year, Yahoo Finance's industry snapshot shows a 24.68% gain for the sector versus 13.71% for the S&P 500. Pan American Silver (PAAS) traded at $41.66 on October 28, against a consensus analyst target of $65.00, implying 56.02% upside.

- Chile Resources Explained , Copper , Lithium , Water and Salmon
Chile's resource base centres on copper, lithium, iodine and molybdenum from its mines, while fruit, wine, forestry and farmed salmon dominate the centre and south, and most oil and gas is imported. Mining drives exports: goods exports reached US$110.4 billion in 2025, including US$58.7 billion from copper, and copper earned US$49.2 billion from January to September 2026, up 18.7%. Chile mined about 23% of the world's copper in 2025 and holds the largest lithium reserves.

- Fed Rate Decision: What Markets and Bitcoin Traders Can Expect
The Fed announces its rate decision at 2 p.m. ET today, with Chair Kevin Warsh's press conference to follow, and futures and prediction markets put the odds of a hold above 90%. The target range is 3.75%–4.00% after September's 12-0 hike, and inflation was 3.7% in the 12 months through September, with oil near $100 a barrel. Hiring is slowing, with employers adding just 29,000 jobs in September against forecasts of about 90,000. Higher inflation pushes up Treasury yields, with the 10-year near 5% after peaking at 5.31% on Oct. 5, which pulls money from riskier assets, and bitcoin trades around $80,700. Markets give 75% to 80% odds of another quarter-point hike at the Dec. 8-9 meeting, and analysts call the likely outcome a 'hawkish hold'.

- US threatens to attack Iran again, 4 countries hold emergency talks to find a way out: Last-minute meeting in Tehran
The US and Israel are weighing a resumption of strikes on Iran, while officials from Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey met in Tehran on October 26 to try to prevent a new conflict, and the four countries agreed to continue dialogue. It was the first meeting between Iran and the three other countries since the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement was formed in August, and Saudi participation stands out because Iran had attacked the kingdom during Operation Epic Fury. According to Reuters, Iranian officials told Field Marshal Asim Munir that Tehran would not negotiate with Washington until its demands are met. Trump said he has to decide between a deal and ending matters with an attack, while a US official said Washington is in a strong position as it controls the Strait of Hormuz.

- Strategy Shareholders Approve Daily Dividends on Preferred Stock, With 99.3% in Favor
Strategy shareholders approved an amendment letting its four preferred stocks, STRF, STRC, STRK and STRD, accrue dividends every calendar day, including weekends and holidays, with 99.3% of votes cast in favor according to preliminary results. STRC will move first, with its first daily record date on November 1 and payment on November 2, while the other three switch over with a first record date on January 1 and payment on January 4, subject to filing amended terms for each stock. Record dates falling on non-trading days will be treated as the previous business day, so dividends are effectively grouped and paid on the next business day; for STRC, record dates rise from 24 a year to 365. STRC traded at $99.86 against its $100 par value, and last week Strategy paused Bitcoin purchases for the first time since mid-September to spend $204.9 million buying back STRC. Separately, Strategy faces possible removal from MSCI's widely tracked equity indexes, after MSCI finalized a rule treating companies whose balance sheets are dominated by a single asset as ineligible and will publish affected companies on November 11.
- Finance Minister: “Can Vietnam grow without FDI? The answer is simple: No way!”
At the Group 5 session on the draft amended Investment Law on 24/10, Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn said Vietnam cannot reach double-digit growth without FDI. FDI disbursement reached about USD 21 billion in the first nine months of 2026, and the full-year target is at least USD 30 billion. Reaching double-digit growth would require total social investment of about 40% of GDP and an ICOR falling from 6.4 to 4.5–4.8, with 2026–2030 capital needs expected to be 2.67 times those of 2021–2025. He said incentives should shift toward high technology, R&D, and linkages between FDI firms and domestic businesses, as the global minimum tax reduces the effect of traditional tax incentives. As of August 2026, about 47,796 FDI projects were operating, with registered capital of roughly USD 561.6 billion.
- Untold story behind the rejected visits in 1999 and the SSC's passport to integration
Chairman Lê Văn Châu, the first head of the State Securities Commission (SSC), insisted on opening the market in 2000 despite calls to delay. With no companies ready to list, SSC staff began visiting firms in 1999, but many feared public disclosure, and the initial list of 14 companies dwindled to REE and SAM. The first trading session took place on 28/7/2000 at 45–47 Bến Chương Dương, with two stocks, trading three times a week, one call auction per day and a 2% price band, and the trading system was supported by Thailand. Châu also backed private sector participation from the start, which paved the way for Sài Gòn Securities Joint Stock Company (SSI), established on 30/12/1999. The article argues this was only the beginning, as the market needed more financial intermediaries and listed companies to grow.
- Surprising Profits at Bách Hóa Xanh in Q3
According to MWG's consolidated financial statements for Q3 2026, the Bách Hóa Xanh chain remained profitable in the quarter, so the tax losses carried forward it used to offset taxable income rose by about 563 billion VND to nearly 1,469 billion VND as of September 30, 2026. The article stresses that these tax losses are a measure for determining tax liabilities and are not equivalent to after-tax profit; as of end-September, the company still had about 3,504 billion VND in unconverted tax losses. For the first nine months, Bách Hóa Xanh posted revenue of about 45,900 billion VND, up nearly 34% year on year, equal to roughly 83% of its 2026 target of 55,500 billion VND, with growth driven mainly by fresh food and FMCG. The chain has 4,267 stores nationwide, and stores opened in 2026 recorded positive operating profit at store level after depreciation and logistics costs. At group level, MWG reported Q3 after-tax profit of 3,521 billion VND, up 97%, and nine-month after-tax profit of 9,634 billion VND, already exceeding its full-year profit target.

- Why Chefs' Warehouse Stock Popped Then Dropped
Chefs' Warehouse (CHEF) fell 12% at the open despite reporting a third-quarter earnings beat, then briefly rose near 5% before giving back most of those gains. Adjusted earnings were $0.66 per share versus analysts' $0.58 estimate, and sales rose 11% year over year to $1.14 billion. Free cash flow for the year so far reached $115.7 million, 44% above reported net income and more than five times the year-earlier figure. CEO Christopher Pappas said momentum continued after the quarter, and management raised full-year guidance, with sales approaching $4.6 billion and full-year earnings implied at $2.55 per share, up 34%. The article suggests current profit may not fully justify a 43 price-to-earnings ratio, though the news is good for shareholders.
