ACG Metals expects full commercial sulphide production at Gediktepe in the first quarter of 2027, after expanding tailings storage and water management works, and has raised its gold-equivalent oxide output forecast. Heavy rainfall and more unconsolidated material than expected have increased excavation requirements to about 6 million cubic metres from 1.2 million. The sulphide plant has completed cold and hot commissioning, but the production ramp-up depends on tailings works targeted for year-end, subject to weather conditions. The 2026 oxide guidance was raised by 43% to 25,000 gold-equivalent ounces, with nine-month output of 22,717oz, although production fell 22% year-on-year during the transition to sulphide ore. Financial net debt stood at US$185 million at September 30, comprising a US$200 million Nordic bond less US$15 million of cash and doré.

- Russian satellites helped Houthi forces guide missiles to Saudi Arabia
According to AP, citing data from analytics firm AURORAH, Russian intelligence satellites flew over target areas days before and after each of 40 missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia between July 1 and October 19, carried out by Houthi forces and Iraqi armed groups. Before drones struck three pumping stations on September 10, a satellite passed over the East-West pipeline, halting oil pumping along its 1,200 km length, a route that lets Saudi Arabia export crude to Red Sea ports and avoid the Strait of Hormuz. A Houthi spokesperson confirmed that Iranian advisers in Yemen passed satellite-derived information to the group to identify targets, and a Saudi official said Russian satellite intelligence also aided Iran in a March attack on Prince Sultan Air Base that damaged one US reconnaissance aircraft. AURORAH also said Russian satellites monitored King Fahd Air Base in Taif, where an Italian Eurofighter Typhoon was damaged in an attack.
- Uh-Oh! A New Inflation Forecast Suggests Trumpflation Is Evolving and Worsening.
The article argues that tariffs and the Iran war are pushing inflation higher, after the Consumer Price Index hit 4.2% in May, a three-year high, though headline inflation has since eased from that peak. A New York Fed report cited in the piece says tariffs had added 2.9 percentage points to goods price inflation by February 2026, and a 10% across-the-board tariff would lift consumer goods prices by 2.6% after one year. The Cleveland Fed’s October headline inflation forecast edged down to 3.75% from 3.77%, but forecasts put Core PCE, the Fed’s preferred gauge, at 3.05% in September and 3.13% in October. The author argues that Iran-war-driven costs, from altered shipping routes to higher costs for petroleum-based products, are spreading into the broader economy, and that if Trumpflation becomes entrenched, the Fed could raise rates more aggressively, a risk for a historically expensive stock market.
- Further Fed rate hikes may not necessarily be a mistake
In a CNBC interview on October 28, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said further Fed rate hikes are “not necessarily” a policy mistake, just hours after the Fed held rates steady at its October meeting. He said he and President Trump trust Fed Chair Kevin Warsh to balance maximum employment and price stability, and that the energy-driven supply shock should be viewed as temporary. The U.S.-Iran conflict has sharply cut global crude output and pushed U.S. annual inflation further from the Fed's 2% target. Bessent also said the “Operation Economic Outcast” campaign to isolate Iran's economy has yielded very positive results, with internal estimates that Iran's economy could shrink by up to 25% within a year. On AI-related bond yields, officials are monitoring but see no alarming signs, and Bessent said neocloud firms, which Elon Musk warned on October 25 could face a wave of bankruptcies and large-scale mergers at more than 200 companies, make up only a small part of the ecosystem.
- Big Funds Buy the Dip in Gold, Silver After Sharp Selloff
After a sharp correction in precious metals, SPDR Gold Trust bought 1.7 tonnes of gold on Oct. 28, lifting holdings to about 1,043 tonnes, its second straight day of net buying. iShares Silver Trust (SLV) added about 42 tonnes of silver, bringing its total to 15,542 tonnes. Gold closed around 4,067 USD/ounce after rising for a third straight session, while silver was near 54 USD/ounce. The Fed held rates at 3.75%-4%, with a 10-2 vote; two members wanted a 25 basis point hike. Futures markets priced about an 83% chance of another 25 basis point hike at the Dec. 8-9 meeting, and the article notes higher rates could pressure gold and silver, with Q3 GDP and September PCE data being watched.
- Gold slips after Fed holds rates, PCE inflation data in focus
Spot gold fell 0.4% to $4,051.91 an ounce after the Fed held its benchmark rate unchanged in a 10-2 vote. Chair Kevin Warsh said the Fed could cut its scheduled policy meetings from eight to six annually starting next fall. Traders still expect a rate increase in December as high energy prices complicate efforts to control inflation, and they are waiting for Thursday's September PCE data. Gold has fallen 2.5% in October and is on track for a second straight monthly decline, after some investors sold bullion to cover losses from last week's AI-driven stock rout. Goldman Sachs estimates central banks bought 79 tonnes of gold in August, with China accounting for 25 tonnes; Rick Kanda of The Gold Bullion Company said sustained central-bank demand could support prices over the long term.
- The U.S. has spent nearly $50 billion on the war with Iran
According to a U.S. Central Command estimate submitted to Congress, military spending on the Iran war reached $47.1 billion as of mid-October, according to analysts citing the Telegram channel Military Chronicle. Of this, over $29 billion went to replenishing munitions such as interceptor missiles and air-to-air weapons, about $12 billion to operations and support, and $6.1 billion to replacing lost or damaged equipment. These figures exclude the cost of rebuilding U.S. bases in the Middle East damaged by Iranian missile and drone attacks, so the total could be substantially higher, possibly doubling. Analysts estimate continued operations would cost an extra $2-3 billion per month, while Moody's Analytics says each American household has lost about $2,000 through higher fuel prices, freight costs and borrowing costs. Trump is reportedly weighing a resumption of large-scale operations after the November 3 midterm elections.

- Prediction: This Cryptocurrency Will Outperform Bitcoin in 2027
The article argues NEAR Protocol could outperform Bitcoin in 2027, after Bitcoin soared more than 40% in Q3 while NEAR rose 173% over the past 90 days and nearly 200% for the year. The author says NEAR is a Layer-1 blockchain built for the AI agent economy and is now the top AI crypto with a $6 billion market cap, ahead of Bittensor at $3 billion and Venice Token at $1 billion. Risks cited include an AI bust that could hit NEAR hard and a shift in the AI agent narrative, as happened to Virtuals Protocol, which fell sharply in 2025 after being a top performer in 2024. Supporting factors include a spot NEAR ETF launched in September and protocol revenue being used for token buybacks, while the author suggests Bitcoin investors may have to settle for annualized returns of around 10%.
- Muse Goes Regional: Singapore Becomes Meta’s Fourth AI Agent Market as Enterprise Pricing Stays Unpublished
Meta's newsroom says its Muse personal AI agent went live in Singapore on October 27, 2026, making it the fourth market after the United States, Canada and Japan in seven weeks. Early connectors include Shopee, Grab, Singapore Airlines, Agoda, ShopBack, Klook, Trip.com and Lazada across shopping, groceries, dining and travel, with more connectors switching on progressively. Meta says Muse keeps credentials on a dedicated cloud machine and checks with users before sending emails or making purchases, and describes the product as free for most needs with subscription plans, but has not published any pricing. Meta's enterprise platform has been announced but not shipped or priced, so businesses still lack a rate card even as the consumer product expands into new markets.
- Alphabet, Microsoft earnings in focus; Warsh on AI, rates - what’s moving markets
U.S. stock index futures were mixed as investors digested a batch of megacap tech earnings and the Federal Reserve's latest rate decision. By 04:03 ET, Nasdaq futures had fallen 400 points, or 1.3%, S&P 500 futures were down 36 points, or 0.5%, and Dow futures were up 150 points, or 0.3%. Alphabet shares were set to drop more than 10% in premarket trading after its third quarter missed expectations, mainly due to weak services revenue and the slowest ad revenue growth in five quarters. Capital expenditures rose $6.5 billion from the prior quarter to $51.4 billion. Samsung's semiconductor operating profit fell short of expectations and its shares fell more than 4% in Korea, even though group-wide operating profit hit a record 100 trillion won (about $74.52 billion). Microsoft shares gained in premarket trading after first-quarter revenue rose 19% to $92.28 billion and Azure grew 48%. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh questioned whether higher interest rates could curb heavy AI spending.
- Opinion: While the Odds of a SpaceX-Tesla Merger Are Climbing, Combining 2 Wrongs Won't Make a Right on Wall Street
The author argues the odds of a SpaceX and Tesla merger are rising, as special committees of independent directors at both companies examine the possibility, and Polymarket traders assigned a 59% chance of a merger announcement by June 30, 2027, as of October 24. In theory, combining the companies could free Musk's time from dividing it among multiple public firms, add cash and pool AI resources, but the author believes the result would be a company with more questions than answers. Tesla, valued at nearly $1.5 trillion, is growing sales only 10% to 15% annually and trades at 172 times Wall Street's consensus 2027 earnings, while its quarterly revenue was flat at $28.0 billion. The author also notes that SpaceX trades at a price-to-sales ratio of 60, so a merger could slow SpaceX's growth and leave the combined entity highly vulnerable to a sharp drop in a market correction.
- Why Microsoft stock isn't getting crushed like Google stock after its earnings report
Alphabet shares fell about 10% in premarket trading after a weak third quarter, while Microsoft rose 4% as its results were seen as higher-than-expected growth that looks sustainable. Microsoft's Azure sales beat estimates by about 300 basis points, with cloud sales up 48% excluding currency effects, and the company guided to 49% to 50% Azure growth next quarter, while capex came in about $5 billion below estimates. Alphabet's search sales of $63.4 billion missed the $64.9 billion expected, and its negative free cash flow of $9.1 billion compared with an estimate of negative $3.5 billion. KeyBanc analyst Justin Patterson said search is decelerating and margins have peaked near term, which could create an air pocket over the next 1-2 quarters.
