- Copper is outshining gold this year. Investors say the rally can survive an AI correction
Copper is becoming more strategic for governments and industries as AI, power-grid investment and defense spending boost demand, investors say. Copper has risen 15.8% year-to-date and more than 30% over the past 12 months, while gold futures have fallen 4.11% year-to-date. Ivanhoe Electric CEO Taylor Melvin said demand from technology and defense is almost inelastic and expects copper to withstand recent tech-stock volatility. The rally is also supported by uncertainty over a possible U.S. tariff on refined copper, which the Commerce Department recommended at 15% from Jan. 1, 2027, though no final decision has been announced. Aberdeen's Iain Pyle noted that a large share of the world's copper is now stored in the U.S. and Chinese inventories look exceptionally low, while still seeing underlying fundamentals as clearly bullish.

- Gold prices today, Monday, October 19, 2026: Little change in gold prices as oil sailed to May highs
December gold futures opened at $4,185 per troy ounce, up 0.1% from Friday's close, and were at about $4,190.50 by 7:06 a.m. ET. Brent crude remained above $110 a barrel at the open after first topping that level since May on Friday, but slipped back after President Trump announced waivers on sanctions and tariffs on Russia to boost its oil exports. Compared with one week, one month and one year ago, the opening gold price was 0.8%, 4.5% and 3.8% lower, and the article says high oil prices have not changed expectations that the Fed will keep rates steady next month.

- Tesla Just Put a $158 Billion Price Tag on Elon Musk’s Pay for Last Year
Tesla's proxy filing puts Elon Musk's 2025 pay at $158,359,009,867, all in stock awards valued at grant date under accounting rules, and Musk has received no cash or vested shares from it. Most of that figure is a performance award covering about 423.7 million shares, valued at maximum, which pays out only when both market-cap and operational milestones are met and shares are held for five years. Tesla shares rose 3.76% to close at $368.06, giving a market cap of $1.45 trillion, but are still down 18.16% for the year. Shareholders vote on pay and board members at the December 3 meeting, while second-quarter operating margin of 1.4% and non-GAAP EPS of $0.33 versus a $0.5367 estimate make the October 21 third-quarter report a key test for long-term owners.

- Investors pledge 230 billion euros at German summit: Merz
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said major companies at an economic summit hosted by his government pledged about 230 billion euros ($258 billion) in investment. Amazon committed 16 billion euros, the government has a partnership with Nvidia, and Schwarz Group, Blackstone, Microsoft and Sanofi also made unspecified commitments. The two-day summit, attended by more than 200 corporate leaders, aims to draw more foreign money into Europe’s largest economy, which has struggled with sluggish growth; growth is projected at 1.3% for 2026, driven mainly by public investment. Merz pledged to cut bureaucracy, speed up approvals and improve infrastructure, while business leaders have grown impatient with the slow pace of reforms.
- Nike Now Yields More Than Procter & Gamble and Twice as Much as Coca-Cola. Is It the Most Overlooked Dividend Stock? Here's the Clear Answer.
The author notes Nike yields 4.4%, above P&G’s 2.7% and Coca-Cola’s 2.2%, but this high yield mainly reflects a falling share price, with a quarterly dividend of $0.41 per share. Nike is in a turnaround, with fiscal 2027 first-quarter revenue down 4% to $11.2 billion, net income down 2% to $712 million, and guidance for a high-single-digit revenue decline. The stock has dropped 41.6% in 2026 and 76.7% over five years, and if sales keep falling, the dividend’s sustainability could be questioned. The author would avoid Nike for now and favors Coca-Cola and P&G instead, which are up 34.3% and 11.1% this year, respectively.
- Chinese Tech Giants Order $35 Billion In Compliant Nvidia Chips
Two sources told Reuters that ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent have ordered more than 3 million RTX PRO 5500 cards from Nvidia, worth over $35 billion at about $11,400 each. The workstation chip is less powerful than the H200 and B300 data center chips, but it is among the most powerful Nvidia chips Chinese buyers can still obtain. Nvidia may not fill all orders: partners might get only 5% to 10% of what they asked for, total Chinese orders have topped 6 million cards, and one source said Nvidia could make no more than 3 million cards globally in 2027. Early samples are expected in December, with commercial deliveries starting in the first quarter of 2027, mainly for AI inference. Nvidia blamed outdated US export controls and China's own limit on US imports, and its outlook does not include any China data center compute revenue.
