The Fed is expected to hold its policy rate at 3.75-4% at its 27-28/10 meeting, even though September CPI and PPI both rose more than forecast and inflation has made little progress back toward the 2% target. Chair Kevin Warsh gave no signal on 16/10 that would change market expectations, cutting the odds of an October hike to about 15%. Robert Kaplan of Goldman Sachs said doing nothing is the option with the fewest hurdles, while Claudia Sahm argued the Fed has enough reason to act this week. The 10-year Treasury yield, which topped 5.3%, the highest in 24 years, fell 0.19 percentage points to 4.95% on 22/10 as tech stocks were sold off. Fed officials remain divided, with Logan, Hammack and Kashkari having opposed the July decision to hold rates.

- Fed Minutes Show Another Rate Hike Is Likely This Year as Kevin Warsh FOMC Battles Persistent Inflation . Here Why That Signal Matters for Stocks and Bonds Heading Into Year - End .
Minutes from the latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, released Oct. 7, indicate Kevin Warsh and fellow policymakers are considering another rate hike in 2026. Inflation remains sticky, with CPI up 3.7% year over year in September 2026, so after September's increase the Fed may raise rates again before year-end, by a small or moderate amount. The article explains that higher rates raise borrowing costs, which can curb consumer spending and business investment and typically weigh on stocks. It argues the current tightening appears smaller than in 2022, when the S&P 500 fell about 19% and the Nasdaq-100 about 33%, so investors should be cautious but not panicked. For bonds, rising rates typically push yields up and prices down, which can make bonds more attractive when U.S. government yields reach 5% or higher.
- Fed Minutes Show Another Rate Hike Is Likely This Year as Kevin Warsh FOMC Battles Persistent Inflation . Here Why That Signal Matters for Stocks and Bonds Heading Into Year - End .
Minutes released on October 7 show that Kevin Warsh and other FOMC members expect another rate hike in 2026 to fight persistent inflation, with meetings on October 28 and December 9 as key decision points. The September CPI rose 3.7% year over year, and after its September hike, the Fed may lift rates by another 0.25% or 0.5% by year-end. Higher rates typically weigh on stocks through higher borrowing costs, but Vanguard research suggests rates may need to rise at least 1 percentage point before stock markets suffer significant negative effects. The article recalls that in 2022, when the Fed hiked aggressively, the S&P 500 fell about 19% and the Nasdaq-100 fell about 33%. Since bond prices fall when yields rise, bonds may look more attractive than they have in recent years.
- Breitbart Business Digest : The Bond Market Is Already Doing Warsh Work
The author agrees with Greg Ip of the Wall Street Journal that AI investment is vulnerable to tighter financial conditions, but notes that such tightening can come from capital markets rather than only from the Fed. At his September 16 press conference, Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh attributed rising long-term Treasury yields to stronger growth and competition for capital from hyperscalers building AI infrastructure. Fed officials including Lisa Cook and Philip Jefferson have argued that the natural rate of interest may be rising because of AI-driven investment and faster productivity growth. The article suggests that if long-term yields are already rising, the Fed may not need to raise its overnight rate as much, while higher yields are already making mortgages more expensive.
- Is Fed Chair Kevin Warsh About To Pop CoreWeave Bubble ?
CoreWeave (CRWV) shares fell 24% over the past week to their lowest level since shortly after its IPO, after venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya posted a chart showing its debt yields had risen as high as 15%. The neocloud operator borrows to buy GPUs and rents out their computing power, a model that drove second-quarter revenue up 112% to $2.58 billion. However, it posted a $626 million net loss, largely due to $640 million in interest expense, and negative free cash flow of $10.5 billion in the first half of the year. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, who took over in May, aims to bring inflation back to the 2% target, including through rate hikes that have pushed Treasury yields higher. Since most of CoreWeave's debt is floating-rate and it has $10.6 billion due by the end of next year, rising rates pose a refinancing test, and its November 11 earnings report is seen as pivotal.
- Gold steadies near $4,160 as stock selloff drives bond rally, Treasury yields fall
Gold held near $4,160 an ounce after rising 1.6% in the previous session, its biggest gain in more than two weeks, as an equity selloff pushed investors into bonds. Concerns over AI investment weighed on chipmakers, while U.S. Treasury yields fell by as much as 12 to 15 basis points across the curve, which typically supports non-yielding gold. Still, gold has been pressured by elevated borrowing costs and has lost around a fifth of its value since the U.S.-Iran war erupted in late February. A stronger-than-expected CPI reading, followed by producer-price and retail-sales data, has raised expectations of a Fed rate hike in October, and investors are awaiting remarks from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh.
- President Donald Trump Just Threw Fed Chair Kevin Warsh Under the Bus , and Things Could Get Ugly for Wall Street
President Trump criticized the Fed and the FOMC after the committee raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points on September 16, calling the voting board 'very hostile' and 'very political'. Under former Chair Powell, the FOMC cut rates six times between September 2024 and December 2025, to 3.50%-3.75%, but Trump has repeatedly called for 1%. In a Time interview, Trump said he did not blame Warsh and that he probably would have voted against the board if he were Warsh, which the article reads as displeasure with Warsh's vote for rate hikes. Inflation has topped the Fed's 2% target for 67 straight months, reaching a three-year high of 4.2% in May, which the article attributes to tariffs and the Iran war; a New York Fed study estimates tariffs added 2.9 percentage points to consumer price inflation. Lower rates would also cut the cost of servicing the U.S.'s more than $40 trillion in total debt.

- One bank's Q3 profit falls nearly 80%
As of 26 October, Q3 pre-tax profits of Saigonbank, KienlongBank, BAOVIET Bank and PGBank all declined year on year, with Saigonbank's falling nearly 80%. Saigonbank reported Q3 pre-tax profit of VND 17.8 billion and nine-month pre-tax profit of nearly VND 66 billion, down nearly 75%, mainly due to weaker services and foreign exchange trading and sharply higher operating costs. Its loans to customers stood at VND 21,754 billion as of 30/6/2026, slightly lower than at end-2025, while customer deposits fell to VND 25,171 billion. BAOVIET Bank's Q3 pre-tax profit fell 41% to VND 17 billion, KienlongBank's dropped 12.7% and PGBank's fell over 10%, although KienlongBank and PGBank still posted nine-month growth. Positive results in some business lines were not enough to offset the factors weighing on profits.
- US ready to strike Iran within 96 hours if President Trump gives the order
Sources say US forces in the Middle East are ready to launch new military operations against Iran, possibly on a large scale, within 96 hours of receiving orders from President Donald Trump. The operations could go well beyond earlier strikes that targeted radars, launchers and other Iranian assets that could be quickly restored. The target list reportedly includes energy infrastructure, military sites and nuclear facilities, and officials believe an order could come before year-end, most likely after the midterm elections. Intelligence assessments suggest Iran and the Houthis would likely retaliate against US personnel and facilities if Iran is attacked first. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly pushed for new strikes, but US officials have asked him to delay.
- Wave of interest rate cuts is gaining momentum
Many banks continue to cut deposit rates and launch preferential lending packages worth tens of thousands of billions of dong, in response to the State Bank of Vietnam's directive to lower interest rate levels. VPBank cut deposit rates by a further 0.4 percentage points for 6–13 month terms, and online deposits under VND 10 billion for 6–11 months now earn 6.6% per year. Sacombank launched a VND 20,000 billion package for individual customers, cutting lending rates by 1.5–2 percentage points, after a VND 40,000 billion corporate program. MSB, VIB and VPBank also have packages of VND 10,000–15,000 billion, with lending rate reductions of 1.5–2 percentage points depending on conditions. Under Official Dispatch No. 9736/NHNN-CSTT dated 21/10/2026, banks must cut average deposit rates for new transactions of 6 months or more by at least 0.5% per year, and non-compliant banks could face penalties, including reduced credit growth targets.
- Ripple wins final US approval for national trust bank
Ripple has received final approval from the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) for Ripple National Trust Bank (RNTB), completing a chartering process that began with conditional approval in December 2025. The trust bank can manage reserves backing the RLUSD stablecoin, act as collateral trustee for RLUSD holders and provide digital asset custody, while RLUSD will continue to be issued by Standard Custody & Trust Company. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said crypto and banks work better together. Circle secured final OCC approval in July, while Coinbase, Crypto.com and Bridge remain at the conditional approval stage. According to the OCC, most national trust banks do not accept deposits or make loans and do not carry FDIC insurance.
- 30 September 2026 Quarterly Activities Report
Barton Gold Holdings (ASX: BGD) completed 38,760m of 'Phase 2' drilling at its Tunkillia Gold Project in South Australia, bringing total drilling over the past 12 months to 57,653m, with several new high-grade assays reported.

The Tolmer silver discovery has been extended to a 500m strike length, and the company holds $23.2 million in cash with no debt.
- Bank of Japan is expected to hold rates this week — but stay hawkish: CNBC survey
A CNBC survey of 16 economists and analysts found all expect the Bank of Japan to keep its policy rate at 1.25% at the end of its two-day meeting on Friday. Most expect a rate hike in December or January next year as domestic inflation and wages keep rising, with core inflation excluding fresh foods at 2.1% and inflation-adjusted wages up 1.5% from a year earlier. Some analysts see no clear sign inflation is accelerating enough to justify consecutive hikes, and say the policy board may lack consensus given the fragile domestic bond market. The 10-year JGB yield is expected to reach 3% to 3.1% by year-end, up from 2.809%, while the terminal rate is seen at 1.75% to 2% by around mid-2027.
