- What is the SJC gold ring price today, October 16?
At 8:30 a.m. on October 16, SJC quoted gold rings at 139.8–142.8 million VND per tael (buy–sell), unchanged from the previous day, with a 3 million VND spread. DOJI quoted 139–143 million VND, while Phú Quý and PNJ 999.9 matched SJC's ring prices. SJC gold bars were quoted at 140.3–143.3 million VND, also unchanged. On Kitco, world gold rose 45 USD to 4,150.10 USD per ounce, helped by lower Treasury yields, a weaker dollar and returning safe-haven demand. FXEmpire's technical analysis flags 4,200 USD as key resistance and 4,103 USD as support, with 4,028 USD the next level if support breaks.
- Silver Falls Below $50/Ounce: What Lies Ahead?
Silver has broken below $50/ounce and is weakening more than gold, with prices hitting the lowest levels since the start of the year. A Metals Focus report expects the market to shift from deficit to surplus in 2027, as inventories rise and jewelry and industrial demand slow; high prices and efforts to use less silver, especially in solar panels, also weigh on demand. Interest rates add pressure: the Fed held rates in October but signaled readiness to tighten further, markets price an 80% chance of a 25 basis point hike in December, and rising yields reduce the appeal of precious metals. London vault stocks reached 932 million ounces, with about 267 million ounces available for trading excluding ETP holdings, nearly double the October 2025 low, as silver held in ETPs fell by about 60 million ounces this year. The report says silver will likely keep following gold over the next 12 months, and the outlook could change if expectations of tighter monetary policy in 2027 ease.
- Gold Coins vs. Silver Coins: Which Has Accumulated More Value Since 2020?
Gold and silver prices have pulled back from the all-time highs set in early 2026 but remain well above their levels at the start of the decade. Coin values depend on more than spot price, including type (bullion, certified, proof or uncirculated), size, professional grade and metal content. Spot gold rose from $1,520.55 per ounce in January 2020 to $4,154.30 in October 2026, about 173%, while spot silver climbed from $18.01 to $60.39, about 235%. In dollar terms, gold has accumulated more value: an ounce bought in January 2020 would have gained about $2,634, whereas silver would have needed about 65 ounces to match that profit.

- What Investors Got Wrong Before Wheaton Precious Metals' Rally
Wheaton Precious Metals shares, which cost CA$136 at the start of the period, now trade at CA$173 after a 26.7% return over the past year including dividends. Before the rally, the bullish view put fair value at CA$150 based on 12.3% revenue growth, while the cautious view put it at CA$126 due to concerns about weaker long-term precious metals demand. Q2 2026 revenue was US$929.2 million and net income was US$543.2 million, with net margin edging up to 58.5%, though falling precious metal prices in parts of 2026 kept commodity risk in focus. The article also highlights the largest silver stream in the company's history. It concludes that the current price depends on whether these larger, high-quality streams can support long-term cash generation above what the share price implies.

- Mobilizing 2,000 People, Vietnam's Neighbour Finds About 1,000 More Tonnes of Gold
On 31 October, China's Ministry of Natural Resources released results of a re-evaluation of strategic mineral resources, showing gold resources rose by an amount equivalent to 50 large mines, or at least about 1,000 tonnes using the 20-tonne threshold for a large gold mine. Most of the increase came from re-assessing low-grade, previously hard-to-mine resources at known deposits rather than from new discoveries. The survey began in 2024, mobilizing nearly 2,000 surveyors from more than 100 units across 27 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, covering 17 strategic minerals and more than 1,800 mines. Nickel resources rose by roughly 30 large mines, and rhenium resources more than doubled. A new assessment programme for 2026-2030 has also been launched.
- I Graded Microsoft's Latest Report on 3 Things. Here's My Verdict on the Stock.
Microsoft reported fiscal first-quarter 2027 results (three months ending Sept. 30, 2026): revenue rose 19% to $92.3 billion and adjusted EPS grew 18%, while the stock barely moved. Azure revenue grew 48%, beating the company's 44% to 45% constant-currency forecast, even though some third-party data center capacity arrived late. However, capital expenditures reached $45.2 billion, free cash flow fell about 27% to $18.6 billion, and Microsoft Cloud's gross margin dipped to 66%. For the next quarter, management expects Azure growth of 49% to 50% and capex above $50 billion. The author grades Azure an A, spending and margins a C+, and the outlook a B+; with shares near $530, about 29 times adjusted earnings, the author feels the stock already reflects most of the good news and wants a lower price.
- Hundreds of Millions of USD Withdrawn From Bitcoin, ETH ETFs After Binance Hack
U.S. spot Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana ETFs recorded net outflows of nearly 790 million USD on October 30, as the crypto market came under pressure after a cyberattack led to the theft of about 6.3 billion USD in digital assets from Binance. Bitcoin ETFs alone saw 643 million USD withdrawn, concentrated in BlackRock's IBIT (233.7 million USD) and Fidelity's FBTC (201 million USD). According to Reuters, most of the assets were taken within about 20 minutes, while Binance said the incident involved a breach of its transaction approval system and that it would use company resources to cover losses. Bitcoin fell to 76,368 USD and Ethereum touched 2,178 USD before partially recovering. One expert said the bigger risk lies in liquidity disruption if Binance restricts deposits and withdrawals.
- J.P. Morgan Just Made a Bold Prediction About Bitcoin. Should You Buy It?
In its 2027 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions report, published in October 2026, J.P. Morgan projects Bitcoin will return 10% annually over the next decade, versus 7.5% for large U.S. stocks, with volatility of 55% compared with 18%. It is the first time the report includes a Bitcoin return forecast, though it does not suggest a specific allocation. The article cites BlackRock's findings (a 2% Bitcoin allocation in a 60/40 portfolio accounted for 5% of total risk) and Morgan Stanley's view (at most 4% for the most aggressive portfolios), arguing that an allocation below 5% fits most investors. It also stresses that investors who struggle with large price swings may find Bitcoin hard to hold.
- Microsoft (MSFT) Lands $25 Billion Bond Deal As AI Push Deepens
Microsoft completed a record US$25 billion multi-tranche bond sale, its first major issuance in nearly a decade. The company said the proceeds will support long-term funding for AI infrastructure and its cloud platforms, alongside an expanded AI collaboration with The Estée Lauder Companies. The fixed and floating rate senior unsecured notes mature in 2 to 40 years, raising total debt while staggering repayments, and the AAA rating and strong earnings support interest costs. The article explains that borrowing despite strong cash flow helps lock in long-term funding for AI data centers and spreads the cost of planned US$170b to US$190b capex for calendar 2026. It names free cash flow and Microsoft Cloud margins over the next four quarters, along with net debt to free cash flow, as indicators for judging the AI financing.
