Vietnam's domestic gold opened lower on the morning of November 2 after a sharp drop the previous week, with SJC gold bars offered at VND 139 million per tael and gold rings quoted at VND 135.8–138 million across brands. Spot gold stood at USD 3,895/oz, up 0.55%, after falling more than 3% last week and losing the USD 4,000 level, having hit its lowest in over a year amid a hawkish Fed, strong US data and a tech stock sell-off. In a Kitco survey, 63% of 16 professionals expected prices to keep falling, while 53% of 184 individual investors expected a rise. Marc Chandler said gold could retreat to USD 3,750–3,850/oz if it sets new lows this year, while Alex Kuptsikevich noted the downtrend has lasted nearly two and a half months and some investors may be forced to sell to meet margin calls.

- If I Could Only Buy and Hold 1 "Magnificent Seven" Stock Through 2030, It Would Be This One
The author judges Nvidia the best pick among the Magnificent Seven through 2030, as its GPUs are widely used for AI workloads and many companies in the group are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on AI infrastructure each year. Nvidia projects global annual data center capital expenditures will reach USD 3–4 trillion by 2030 and expects 70% revenue growth in 2027. The five largest AI hyperscalers are estimated to spend nearly USD 800 billion this year and USD 1.3 trillion next year. If revenue grows 70% in 2027 and doubles again from 2028 to 2030, total growth would reach 240%, far above Meta, the next fastest grower at 26%. The article also notes Nvidia's stock has not had its best year and that the company reports earnings near the end of November.
- Binance sees $3.64 billion in net outflows as withdrawals resume after massive hack
Binance reported $3.64 billion in net outflows after reopening withdrawals on Sunday, as customers rushed to move funds following a $6.3 billion hack. Between 6 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. UTC, the exchange processed $4.65 billion in withdrawals and $1.01 billion in deposits. The net outflows equaled 2.1% of its $171 billion in total assets, based on its latest proof-of-reserves data. Most of the outflows happened in the first couple of hours, and withdrawal volumes have since stabilized, with services restored in phases across 15 networks while testing continues for the rest. The FBI attributed the hack to North Korean hackers known as TraderTraitor, and Binance said it had covered about 95% of the lost funds and would absorb the losses rather than pass them on to users.
