Gold bar prices reversed course again after a slight recovery on the afternoon of October 20. In the morning of October 21, bar prices at SJC, PNJ, DOJI and Bảo Tín Mạnh Hải were mostly VND 139.6–142.6 million per tael, while Bảo Tín Minh Châu was lower at VND 138.0–142.0 million. Plain gold rings were quoted at VND 138–138.5 million to buy and VND 141–142.5 million to sell. Spot gold fell sharply toward US$4,100 per ounce, as persistent inflation and higher oil prices reinforced expectations that the Fed would keep tightening monetary policy. Weaker US housing data, with housing starts down 5.2% to 1.221 million units in September, partly eased inflation pressure.

- Gold Declines Towards $4,120 as Iran Conflict and Federal Reserve Outlook Remain in Focus
Spot gold dropped 0.2% to $4,117.31 an ounce on Wednesday, while US gold futures fell to $4,134.92, as investors weighed uncertainty over ending the US–Iran conflict and US interest rate expectations. Silver, platinum and palladium also traded lower. Gold has fallen more than 1% since the start of the week and is about 20% below its level when the conflict began in late February. The conflict has pushed up energy prices and inflation worries, and oil eased on reports of possible talks, though a diplomat later dismissed a quick settlement. The Fed is expected to hold rates at its Oct. 27–28 meeting, with traders pricing about an 85% chance of another hike before year-end, as inflation remains above its 2% target.
- 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.
- “Giant” fund aggressively buys more than 5 tonnes of gold in just one day
SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold fund, bought more than 5 tonnes of gold on 16 October, lifting its holdings to 1,059 tonnes after a series of reversals in recent sessions. Spot gold closed at $4,165 an ounce, down 0.1%, after briefly nearing $4,200. Prices had peaked near $4,700 in late August and dropped to around $4,100 in early October. Investors are weighing persistent inflation against worries about high borrowing costs, and markets now price about an 83% chance the Fed holds rates at its 27–28 October meeting. Oil above $100 a barrel adds to inflation expectations, which the article says could limit gold's recovery.
- Gold gains on softer dollar , but heads for weekly fall - The HinduBusinessLine
Spot gold rose 0.2% to $4,177.82 an ounce as the dollar weakened, but it was still down 0.5% on the week as investors weighed Fed rate signals. OANDA analyst Kelvin Wong said gold has been trapped in a range with its bottom at $4,075, and hotter-than-expected September core CPI and PPI data show inflation broadening. The dollar was heading for its first weekly fall in five weeks, while traders priced in an 89% chance of a December rate hike per CME's FedWatch Tool. Higher rates reduce gold's appeal, and several large Indian mutual funds suspended bulk subscriptions to gold ETFs ahead of the festive season. Silver, platinum and palladium also rose on the day but were all headed for weekly losses.
- Gold Lost $100 an Ounce in Hours After the Inflation Report
Spot gold lost nearly $100 an ounce intraday, falling below $4,100 after a September CPI report rose 0.6% in a month, hotter than expected, and lifted money-market odds of an October Fed rate hike from about 22% to about 42%. Late in US trading gold was at $4,098.80, down 1.47%, and SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) fell 1.49% to $375.99. Gold pays no yield, so higher Treasury yields (10-year at 5.251%, 2-year at 4.865%) and a 0.69% rise in the Dollar Index to 102.90, its strongest in about a year and a half, made bullion less attractive. Silver fell about 6% to $55.41, and iShares Silver Trust (SLV) dropped 6.11% to $50.22, a move the article attributes to silver’s industrial demand and thinner market. The article argues gold is currently trading more as a rate asset than as an inflation hedge.
- Gold holding overnight gains above $4 , 100 even as US PPI rises 6 . 3 % in September
US producer prices (PPI) rose 1.3% in September, far above the 0.6% forecast and the largest advance since March 2022, when it rose 1.7%. Over 12 months, headline PPI increased 6.3%, above the 5.3% expected and the biggest annual rise since December 2022. Core PPI, excluding food and energy, climbed 0.7% against a 0.3% forecast, while annual core inflation reached 5.0% versus 4.4% expected. Spot gold still held its overnight gains, trading at $4,151.90 an ounce and up more than 1% on the day. Analysts say persistent inflation raises the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold, though it could become a positive driver if markets doubt the Fed can get ahead of inflation.

- Why Isn't IBM's Stock Bouncing Back After Strong Earnings Results?
IBM shares fell about 25% in July, their worst day in 115 years, after the company said customers had shifted spending to memory and storage products and delayed major contracts. The third-quarter report on October 21 showed revenue up 5% to $17.1 billion, operating earnings per share up 11% to $2.95, and software growth of 9% at constant currency. The author estimates organic software growth was closer to 4% after excluding the roughly $11 billion Confluent acquisition, and that meeting the roughly $32 billion full-year software target implies fourth-quarter software growth of about 4%. Debt rose to $63.8 billion after $11.4 billion of acquisitions this year, though the dividend appears well covered by free cash flow. The author still sees IBM as a long-term holding for its enterprise AI position and customer base, despite the market's muted reaction.
- IBM Is America’s Worst Big Tech Company
The article argues that IBM, which CEO Arvind Krishna credits with disciplined execution and transformative AI, has missed most major tech shifts over the past fifty years. Quarterly revenue rose 5% to $17.1 billion and net income reached $2.2 billion, up from $1.7 billion a year earlier. The author compares these figures with Nvidia's $60 billion net income last quarter and Microsoft's $90 billion revenue in its most recent quarter. IBM's market cap is $237 billion versus Microsoft's $4 trillion, and the company, the fourth-largest in America in 1993, ranked 66th on the Fortune 500 last year.
- Tesla's Profit Drops 43% as Musk Starts Building Robots and Plans to Sell Driverless Cabs
Tesla's third-quarter net income fell 43% to $787 million from a year earlier, as revenue held flat at $28.05 billion, operating profit dropped 56% to $718 million, and deliveries fell about 2%. Research spending rose 69% to $2.76 billion and capital expenditures more than doubled to $4.73 billion, aimed at humanoid robots and driverless taxis. Tesla has begun producing Optimus robots in Fremont, California, where Musk targets 20,000 a week but says that will take at least a year, with outside deliveries around the end of 2027. Tesla aims to get Cybercabs to customers by the end of 2026, though every one built so far goes to its own robotaxi fleet, no buyer or price has been named, and a federal safety audit is open. Musk also said the Tesla and SpaceX boards have formed committees to study a possible combination, but no terms have been agreed.

- Why Micron Stock Is Falling Hard Today
Shares of Micron Technology (MU) fell about 5.2% by 1:33 p.m. ET as investors worried AI spending could slow. Concerns grew after Nvidia's CEO said capital is scarce for further growth in the AI cloud market, and Meta's shares slid despite beating estimates because it plans $135 billion to $145 billion in capital expenditures this year. Since Micron supplies memory and storage for AI data centers, fears of overspending weighed on its stock. Economic pressure added to the sell-off: the Federal Reserve recently raised rates and hinted at more, oil prices rose on the U.S. war with Iran, and inflation was reported rising faster than expected.
- Taiwan Semiconductor and ASML Are Incredible, but 1 of These Monopoly Chip Stocks Is Far Safer.
The article argues that Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) and ASML are both near-monopolies, but Taiwan Semiconductor is the safer investment. ASML is the only maker of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines, while Taiwan Semiconductor accounted for about 72.5% of chip fabrication revenue in Q2, a scale no rival matches. The author warns that ASML's business depends on chipmakers expanding capacity for the AI build-out, which may slow once that wave ends. ASML also trades at a sizable premium to Taiwan Semiconductor on both 2026 and 2027 earnings estimates.
