- Gold prices reverse, rising by 1 million VND
Domestic gold bar prices rose by 1 million VND to 140-143 million VND per lượng (tael) on the morning of 28/10, following a recovery in global gold. Spot gold rebounded to USD 4,050-4,060 per ounce after trading below USD 4,000 earlier in the week; converted at Vietcombank's selling rate, domestic gold bars were about 16 million VND per lượng higher than the global price. Fed officials signaled no further rate hikes at this week's meeting, but CME FedWatch shows markets pricing an 83% chance of a Fed hike in December. A Reuters poll of 30 analysts cut the median full-year gold forecast to USD 4,495 per ounce from USD 4,509 three months earlier, the second straight quarter of downgrades. Analysts expect gold to recover next year as dependence on the US dollar declines.
- Gold price today, Tuesday, October 27, 2026: Gold prices slipping closer to $4,000 ahead of Fed meeting
Gold futures for December opened at $4,032.80 per troy ounce on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, down 0.1% from Monday's close, and slipped to $4,025.50 by 6:57 a.m. ET. Prices have fallen for a week and opened in the $4,000 range for three straight days ahead of the Fed's FOMC meeting. Standard Chartered's Suki Cooper described gold at a “critical juncture,” warning that support could fade quickly if the metal fails to hold technical support at $3,886 an ounce. Opening prices were down 3.1% versus last week, 6.4% versus last month and 1.7% versus last year. Darrell Fletcher of Bannockburn Capital Markets said buying high to hope for short-term gains is a tough strategy, while Thomas Winmill of Midas Funds views gold positions as speculative.
- Gold Falls Below $4,000 as Investors Await Federal Reserve Rate Decision
Gold briefly fell below $4,000 an ounce on Tuesday as investors weighed the U.S. interest-rate outlook ahead of the Federal Reserve's Wednesday decision and monitored U.S.-Iran diplomatic developments. At 05:58 ET, spot gold was 0.5% lower at $3,998.23 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures fell 0.6% to $4,013.17. Market pricing implies roughly a 10% probability of a rate increase at this week's meeting, though elevated energy prices keep expectations for further tightening before year-end. The Fed raised rates in September for the first time since 2023, and oil prices fluctuated amid renewed diplomatic efforts.
- Gold slips near $4,010 as traders await Fed decision, Iran diplomacy offers hope

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.

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.

- Vertiv stock surges as orders double amid AI build-out: 'Evolving faster than ever'
Vertiv (VRT) shares jumped 15% in premarket trading as the data center power and cooling maker benefits from heavy capital spending by Google (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT). The company said its orders doubled year over year as AI fuels demand for its infrastructure, and it counts Alphabet, Microsoft, Nvidia and Amazon among its customers.

- Moody's Rates Ripple's $2.6B RLUSD Stablecoin A2, a Day After OCC Bank Approval
Moody's assigned A2 long-term and P-1 short-term deposit ratings to Ripple USD (RLUSD), the dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Ripple subsidiary Standard Custody & Trust Company, citing reserves held mainly in short-term U.S. government assets and cash, with a 103% coverage target. Moody's noted that Standard Custody is not bankruptcy-remote and RLUSD holders have no direct ownership interest in the reserves, although the GENIUS Act, due to take effect in 2027, will exclude required reserves from an issuer's bankruptcy estate. The rating was requested by the issuer and came a day after final OCC approval for Ripple National Trust Bank, which will manage the reserves. Launched in 2024 with a market capitalization of about $2.6 billion, RLUSD is still a small share of a stablecoin market worth some $300 billion, and Ripple is pitching it to institutions.

- How Anthropic's IPO structure could become the AI blueprint
Alex Morris, CEO and CIO of F/m Investments, discussed with Yahoo Finance's Brooke DiPalma what Anthropic's IPO could mean for the broader AI landscape. He said the company's revenue is not where a multi-trillion-dollar company would be expected, but it is selling a promise of the future, and its filing discusses potential existential risks to humanity. Wall Street will focus on the new governance structure, in which seven people would have power to largely control and appoint the board of trustees, a setup he called novel despite Google's different voting rights. He also flagged financing risk, more for Nvidia than Meta, as Meta announced a $100 billion share sale to fund AI. He said Anthropic is very likely to be substantially oversubscribed.
