Spot gold fell 1% to $4,026.12 an ounce in the 29 October session after US inflation data showed price pressures remained high, reinforcing expectations that the Fed will raise interest rates later this year. The PCE price index rose 0.5% in September after a 0.3% gain in August, as consumers paid more for gasoline and other goods. According to CME Group's FedWatch tool, traders are pricing in about an 83% chance of a Fed rate hike in December. Higher rates raise the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold, and David Meger of High Ridge Futures said persistent inflation above the Fed's target is the main pressure on the market. December gold futures slipped 0.3% to $4,037.60, while silver fell 2.7% to $52.54, platinum dropped 3.7% to $1,486.47 and palladium lost 0.7% to $1,003.58.

- Gold slips near $4,010 as traders await Fed decision, Iran diplomacy offers hope
Gold edged lower on Tuesday as investors awaited the Federal Reserve's policy decision this week, while diplomatic efforts to ease the U.S.-Iran conflict offered some relief to energy markets. XAU/USD fell 0.2% to $4,010.39 an ounce, and U.S. gold futures declined 0.3% to $4,023.57. Markets priced in roughly a 10% chance of a Fed rate hike at this week's meeting, though high energy prices kept expectations of a hike before year-end alive and inflation concerns continued to weigh on bullion. The U.S. Dollar Index rose marginally to 102.04.
- Gold Rises Nearly 1% Ahead of Fed Meeting
Spot gold rose 0.6% to 4,020.60 USD/ounce on October 26, recovering from a low of 3,975 USD/ounce the previous day, the lowest since July 20, as falling oil prices eased inflation worries. Markets largely expect the Fed to keep rates unchanged at its Wednesday decision, while CME's FedWatch tool puts an 80% probability on a rate hike in December. Investors are also awaiting US PCE data due Thursday and the November 3 midterm elections. Silver gained 0.2% to 54.01 USD/ounce, platinum fell 1.2% to 1,532.55 USD/ounce, and palladium rose 0.5% to 1,048.70 USD/ounce. Russia's Nornickel said a planned major overhaul of a large smelting furnace could reduce output of its key metals in 2027-2028.
- Gold prices today, Monday, October 26, 2026: Gold opens at 3-month lows at the start of Fed week
December gold futures opened at $4,012.20 per troy ounce on Monday, up 0.1% from Friday's close, and rose to $4,028.30 by 7:05 a.m. ET. The opening price was the lowest since July 20, 2026, as the two-day FOMC meeting concludes this week. Most expect the Fed to hold rates despite inflation above its 2% target, with CME FedWatch showing a 90.6% chance of no change this week and a 72.1% chance of a 25 basis point hike after the December meeting. The opening price was down 4.1% from a week earlier, 6.9% from a month earlier and 3.2% from a year earlier.
- Gold steadies near 3-mth low as elevated oil prices weigh; Fed meet eyed
Gold held steady in Asian trade on Monday after falling more than 4% last week, at $3,995.42 an ounce. The metal slipped below $4,000 on Friday for the first time since mid-July, mainly due to an oil surge amid elevated Middle East conflict, with Brent up 6.2% last week to its highest weekly close since mid-2022. Higher energy costs could prolong inflation pressures and limit central banks' room to ease policy. Investors widely expect the Fed to keep rates unchanged at its Oct. 27–28 meeting, while CME FedWatch data showed about a 78% probability of a December rate hike. The 10-year US Treasury yield near 5% keeps pressure on non-yielding gold, and the PCE inflation report due Oct. 29 will be the next test for the inflation outlook.
- Gold prices break $4,000 as investors brace for crucial test
Spot gold closed Friday, October 23, at about $3,995.80 an ounce after dipping as low as $3,975.64, slipping below the $4,000 level. For the week it fell roughly 4%, its worst performance since June, and it sits nearly 29% below January’s $5,595 peak. The sell-off came as technology stocks also fell, with the Vanguard Information Technology ETF down 5% for the month, and as oil prices jumped on Middle East supply fears that revived inflation concerns. Bank of America’s technical strategist sees the July low at $3,943 as the key level: holding it could form a double bottom, while a break could point toward $3,886 and eventually $3,700. Investors are now looking to the Federal Reserve’s October 28 decision and the October 29 PCE inflation report for clues on rates and the dollar.
- World's Largest Gold Fund Dumps Over 10 Tonnes of Gold as Prices Slide
SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold fund, continued net selling of nearly 12 tonnes of gold in the 22/10 session, bringing total sales over 2 sessions to nearly 15 tonnes and cutting its holdings to about 1,046 tonnes. Spot gold fell more than 2.8% to around USD 4,025 per ounce at the close of 22/10, and briefly dipped below USD 4,000 per ounce in the morning session of 23/10. Tensions in the Middle East pushed crude oil prices higher, raising concerns about inflation and further Fed tightening, and gold has still not attracted sustained safe-haven demand even as US Treasury yields fell. US September CPI rose 0.6% month on month and 3.7% year on year, while PPI rose 1.3% and 6.3%. Markets price about an 84% chance the Fed holds rates steady at its 27-28/10 meeting and a 16% chance of a 25 basis-point increase; September PCE data due on 29/10 is the next key factor to watch.

- Gold price today 30/10: Sinks to one-month low
Domestic gold prices fell 800,000 to 1.3 million VND per tael on the morning of 30/10, hitting their lowest level in a month. SJC, PNJ and Bảo Tín Mạnh Hải quoted bid prices of 138.4 million VND and ask prices of 141.4 million VND per tael, while Mi Hồng's bid was 139.9 million VND; gold rings also dropped by 800,000 to 1.3 million VND per tael, with prices varying by brand. Spot gold in the early hours of 30/10 traded at 4,023.8 USD per ounce, down 6.6 USD (0.16%). Gold has been under pressure as the US economy grew faster than forecast and inflation remained high, reinforcing expectations that the Fed will keep tightening and raise rates by year-end, while lower oil prices and new US-Iran diplomatic signals eased energy inflation concerns. The Fed held rates steady with a 10-2 vote, and a stable US labour market could leave room for a rate hike in December.
- One Stock Snaps 29-Session Floor-Price Losing Streak; One-Third of Companies Change Hands
Shares of Kosy Corp (KOS) hit the daily limit up at 4,060 VND per share in the morning session on Oct 30, ending a streak of 29 consecutive floor-price sessions that began on Sept 21, with over 74 million shares matched. During the slide, the stock fell from above 30,000 VND per share on Sept 18 to 3,800 VND at the close on Oct 29, losing more than 87% of its value and shrinking market capitalization by about 5,700 billion VND. Selling pressure came from margin-call forced sales by several major shareholders and related parties, including Chairman Nguyễn Việt Cường, but only about 2.44 million shares were sold this way because many sales failed for lack of matching buyers. Kosy attributed the drop to investor sentiment, brokerages reducing margin lending ratios and forced selling, and said its core real estate and renewable energy businesses continue as planned. In H1 2026, revenue reached nearly 723 billion VND (up 9% year on year) and after-tax profit was about 15 billion VND, while borrowings of nearly 2,000 billion VND made up over 73% of total liabilities.
- More than $5.5 billion in crypto stolen as Binance faces biggest hack in history
Binance may have lost more than $6 billion in crypto in an attack that analysts describe as the largest in the industry's history. Chainalysis estimates the losses at $5.9 billion and TRM Labs puts them above $6 billion, while some security experts suggest the actual figure could be between $2 and $5.5 billion; the exchange has not disclosed the cause or total losses. Binance halted deposits and withdrawals and has frozen about $3 billion in related assets, with Tether, Circle and Ripple also freezing funds. Founder Changpeng Zhao said the incident appears to be a cyberattack and that user assets are safe, while co-founder Yi He said the company will cover all losses. Bitcoin fell about 2% to $77,646, BNB dropped more than 8% over 24 hours, and Coinbase shares fell 4.8%.
- Binance hack could accelerate shift to DEXs: Standard Chartered
Geoffrey Kendrick of Standard Chartered says the Binance hack could accelerate a shift toward decentralized exchanges, benefiting Uniswap over the longer term. He expects the DEX share of trading relative to centralized platforms to keep rising, though investors should wait until the impact of the attack plays out in the markets. CoinGecko data show the top 10 spot DEX-to-CEX ratio reached 23.5% in the second quarter of 2026, up 2.1 percentage points from the first quarter. Kendrick keeps his $100 price target for Uniswap's UNI token for 2030 and says the hack is another reason that forecast may be too low, while also expecting further negative price action in the near term. Meanwhile, AAVE fell 11.3% to $118.54 and UNI dropped 10.4% to $6.48.
- Asian currencies mixed as dollar retreats, yen steadies ahead of BOJ decision
Asian currencies were mixed on Friday, with the yen steady ahead of the Bank of Japan's policy decision while the US dollar weakened alongside Treasury yields amid a fresh AI-stock selloff. The dollar index fell 0.3% to 101.76 but is still on track for a 0.3% gain in October, and USD/JPY slipped 0.2% to 157.51. The BOJ is widely expected to hold its policy rate at 1.25% despite persistent inflation, with markets looking for a relatively hawkish message and pricing in around an 80% chance of a December rate hike. The Fed, ECB and RBNZ all kept rates unchanged this week, and elevated energy prices and the Middle East conflict mean further tightening has not been ruled out. The Australian dollar was little changed at $0.7033, and investors are weighing producer-price data against September inflation ahead of the RBA meeting.
- Is AI Killing Google's Golden Goose?
Alphabet shares fell 12%, wiping out about $500 billion in market value after third-quarter results missed expectations even as revenue rose 25% to $127.6 billion (versus $127.9 billion expected). Operating income increased from $31.2 billion to $40.6 billion, but GAAP EPS fell from $2.87 to $2.12 due to a $12.4 billion loss on equity securities, primarily tied to its SpaceX investment. Google Cloud revenue jumped 103% to $30.7 billion, while Search revenue rose just 12% to $63.4 billion, its slowest growth since 2023, as queries shift to AI Mode or other chatbots. Management described the search slowdown as transitional as it expands ads in AI Mode, and noted queries grew at their fastest rate in five years. The company reported a $9 billion free cash flow loss in the quarter, reflecting planned capex of $195 billion to $205 billion, which also worried investors.
