- Gold Prices Rise Above $4,200 in Futures Trading as Fed Rate Hike Expectations Ease
Gold rose above $4,200 an ounce in US futures on Monday as traders scaled back expectations of another Federal Reserve rate hike after comments from Chair Kevin Warsh. Spot gold gained 0.4% to $4,180.29, while US gold futures rose 0.5% to $4,200.92. The implied probability of a 25-basis-point hike at the next meeting fell below 20%, after US inflation data released the previous week exceeded expectations. Silver, platinum and palladium also gained, while the US Dollar Index was roughly flat at 101.80. ANZ maintains a positive long-term view and expects gold to rise above $5,000 an ounce during 2027, though elevated bond yields and a strong dollar could pressure prices in the near term.
- Gold Bar and Plain Gold Ring Prices at Midday 19/10 at SJC, PNJ, DOJI, Bao Tin Minh Chau and Bao Tin Manh Hai All Fall Together
At the midday update on 19/10, domestic gold prices fell across the board by 500–800 thousand VND per tael. Early on 19/10, gold bars at SJC, PNJ, DOJI and Bao Tin Manh Hai were quoted at 140.6–143.6 million VND per tael, while Bao Tin Minh Chau was at 138.6–143.6 million. From 16/10, gold businesses must use non-cash payment for buy and sell transactions of 5 million VND or more per day under Decree 390/2026/NĐ-CP. Internationally, gold traded around 4,160–4,180 USD per ounce as investors watched U.S. economic data and the Fed's rate outlook, and the market still leans toward the Fed holding rates at its October 27–28 meeting. S&P Global's preliminary October composite PMI is being watched as a signal of inflation pressure.
- Gold rises as Warsh remarks curb Fed hike bets
Spot gold rose 0.2% to $4,173.59 an ounce on Monday after Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s remarks were read as supporting a hold at next week’s meeting. Traders cut the implied chance of a rate hike to below 20%, reversing the revived hike bets that followed a stronger-than-expected U.S. inflation reading. Gold has stayed above $4,000 an ounce since August, but it is down about a fifth since the U.S.-Iran conflict erupted in late February. ANZ sees gold’s upside capped in the short term, though it expects prices to top $5,000 an ounce in 2027, supported by Chinese investors and central-bank diversification.
- Gold prices rebound over the weekend
On the morning of 17 October, SJC, PNJ and Bảo Tín Mạnh Hải quoted SJC gold bars at VND 140.6 million per tael to buy and VND 143.6 million to sell, up VND 300,000 from the previous morning. Gold rings rose by VND 100,000–300,000 per tael across brands, with SJC and PNJ quoting buying at VND 140.1 million and selling at VND 143.1 million. On the global market, gold on Kitco reached $4,165 per ounce, up $2 after three straight sessions of decline, supported by a 0.5% drop in the dollar and the 10-year US Treasury yield falling to a three-week low. Outlook remains under pressure as markets price a 72% chance the Fed holds rates in October and a 92% chance of a rate hike in December. On the supportive side, demand from central banks and Chinese investors remains notable, with the People's Bank of China adding 23 tonnes of gold to reserves last month.
- Gold Reverses Early Gains as U . S . 10 - Year Treasury Yield Climbs to 5 . 15 %
Gold gave back an early Monday gain as the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield rose to 5.15%. The article cites two quotes: $4,182.30 an ounce, up 0.4% (Reuters), and $4,140, down 0.54% (FXStreet), reflecting different points in the trading day. The 10-year yield was 5.15% on Oct. 19, up 0.06 percentage point from 5.09% on Oct. 16, and FXStreet linked gold's late pressure to higher yields and a firmer dollar. Producer prices rose 1.3% in September, the largest monthly gain since March 2022, and 6.3% over 12 months. Fed minutes showed the target range was raised 0.25 percentage point to 3.75%-4%, with the next meeting on Oct. 27-28.
- Gold declines as bond yields stay elevated despite oil drop
Gold slipped as bond yields stayed high even though oil prices fell from a five-month high, with thin liquidity on Monday (Oct 19) and traders weighing the Fed's rate path. Bullion fell as much as 0.7% to US$4,136.71 an ounce during US trading, and spot gold was down 0.6% at US$4,140.66 an ounce in New York. TD Securities said the metal's weakness may persist in the near term, as hedge funds and money managers cut their bullish Comex bets. Traders priced a 17% chance of a rate hike at the Fed's meeting next week, after comments from chairman Kevin Warsh were read as supporting a steady rate in October.

- China Q3 Growth Picks Up to 4.5% as AI-Driven Exports Surge
China's economy grew 4.5% in the third quarter, rebounding from a three-year low and sitting at the lower edge of the government's 4.5–5% annual target. AI-related demand lifted exports, with high-tech goods sales up 14.3% and battery and industrial robot production up more than 29%. The trade surplus is on track to exceed last year's record $1.2 trillion. However, property investment fell by over 20% in the first nine months. Oxford Economics' Sheana Yue said weak investment and subdued domestic spending still weigh on growth, while Moody's Analytics' Dave Chia noted that the impact of support measures introduced in September has yet to be fully realised.

- Indonesian exchange seeks to calm market after record 2-day rout
Indonesian stocks suffered their steepest two-day sell-off on record after MSCI said on Friday (Oct 16) it was considering moving Indonesia from “emerging market” to “standalone” status. The benchmark index fell 11.6% on Friday and 3.6% on Monday, hitting a six-year low, while the rupiah weakened to 18,030 per US dollar and the 10-year yield rose to 7.4%. The exchange said it remained committed to capital market reforms, excluded stocks with highly concentrated ownership from the Jakarta Composite Index, and cut the daily down limit to 7% from 15%. Goldman Sachs estimated a full MSCI removal could trigger US$5.6 billion in passive outflows, and foreign investors have net sold US$4.98 billion of Indonesian stocks so far this year.
- Sophon sets Nov. 25 withdrawal deadline ahead of mainnet shutdown
Sophon has set a November 25 deadline for users to withdraw their assets before it shuts down its mainnet, with key infrastructure and related websites going offline that day. Assets left on the Sophon Chain could become permanently inaccessible, so users are asked to withdraw SOPH, ETH, USDC and other assets and claim any outstanding staking or Guardian rewards. In June, developers said maintaining a standalone blockchain no longer justified its benefits and shifted focus to consumer finance and AI applications on Base. The shutdown follows Abstract’s announcement that it will close on December 15 after Igloo lost tens of millions of dollars supporting the network.
