• Why have fresh investments into gold FoFs been halted , and what should you do ?

  About 20 mutual fund houses have reportedly halted fresh lump-sum investments, new SIPs and top-ups into gold fund of funds (FoFs) following regulatory directives issued on 15 and 16 October. The aim is to curb gold import demand and ease rupee pressure during the festive season, while direct gold ETF investments and existing active SIPs are unaffected. Navneet Damani of Motilal Oswal said high crude prices strain the rupee and balance of payments, so gold and silver imports could be curtailed, though import duties raised from 6% to 15% have not halted inflows. Gold FoF industry size stood at ₹47,359 crore in August, down from ₹53,638 crore in March, and experts advised investing based on needs rather than FOMO. Secondary-market sovereign gold bonds (SGBs) no longer qualify for tax-free maturity gains and now face 12.5% long-term capital gains tax.

• Gold, silver prices on October 20: Check latest rates in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, other cities

  Leading Indian jewellers kept gold prices mostly unchanged on October 20, 2026. Joyalukkas and Malabar Gold & Diamonds quoted 22K gold at ₹13,570 per gram across most states, while Tanishq listed ₹13,575; for 24K, Malabar quoted ₹14,804 per gram and Tanishq ₹14,809, with small differences due to store pricing, inventory costs and regional logistics. Prices follow international spot bullion, the USD/INR exchange rate and festival-season demand, with higher interest rates and Middle East tensions as headwinds for non-yielding gold. Retail purchases attract 3% GST on the metal and 5% GST on making charges, and 22K is preferred for ornaments because of its greater durability.

• Sensex , Nifty extend losses as crude surges to USD 114 , all sectors close in red

  The benchmark Nifty 50 closed at 22,600, down 87.65 points or 0.39%, and the Sensex ended down 0.17% at 73,123.83. Geojit's Vinod Nair said the sharper fall in mid- and small-caps relative to the Nifty, valuation concerns, unwinding of leveraged positions, surging crude and weak global cues were the key pressures. Almost all NSE sectoral indices ended lower, led by a 2.98% drop in Nifty Metal. Brent crude rose 1% to USD 114.31 a barrel amid Middle East tensions, weighing on the rupee, and a rise in India VIX suggests near-term volatility could persist. Among other Asian markets, Japan's Nikkei 225 fell 0.51%, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng, Singapore's Straits Times and South Korea's KOSPI gained.

• Seven Answers to One Question: Who Decides Whether Your Agent Can Pay?

  The article argues that control over whether an AI agent can make payments has moved upstream into authorization artifacts such as contracts, directory registrations and tokens, which whoever owns them can meter, gate or revoke. Between October 13 and 16, 2026, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citi, Schwab and Wells Fargo moved to restrict agents, with four hard blocks and one contract rewrite; Schwab says it blocks agents “in the tens and twenties” each week. Wells Fargo's Online Access Agreement, effective November 24, 2026, deems agent-initiated instructions and transactions authorized by the customer in advance and disclaims any duty to monitor agent activity. By contrast, a Visa, BILL and Billtrust pilot launched on October 20, 2026 executes only payments already approved by the buyer, with registered agents authenticating through Visa's Trusted Agent Protocol and Agentic Directory.

• Draft Housing Law (amended): Tightening conditions for transferring social housing

  The Government's draft amended Housing Law tightens rules on reselling social housing after 5 years to prevent policy exploitation. Under the draft, once the full purchase price is paid and 5 years have passed, owners may resell social housing only to people eligible for social housing support, whereas the current law allows market-based transfers with no restriction on buyers. For rent-to-own social housing, a tenant who no longer needs the unit may have to terminate the contract and return the home, rather than transfer it freely as under current rules. Sales, rent-to-own and lease transactions for social housing would also need to be recorded in the national housing and real estate market information and database system.

• Latvia targets tokenization rules in 2027 with commercial property in focus

  Economics Minister Viktors Valainis says rules for tokenizing real-world assets could arrive in the first half of 2027, with commercial property a possible starting point and government bonds on the priority list. A legal assessment due October 1 is still ongoing, and the work is expected to stay on the agenda of the next government, as Valainis's party won no seats in this month's election and Latvia forms a new administration. He stresses that anti-money-laundering risks must be understood and managed before new rules are introduced, and says about 40 companies are seeking licenses under the EU's MiCA framework. He also reiterates personal support for a small national bitcoin reserve, though no approved proposal or purchase timetable has been identified.

• Here are 4 big things we're watching in the stock market this week

  This week brings the busiest stretch of third-quarter earnings season, along with a Federal Reserve policy meeting and fresh inflation data, while the AI trade, the engine of the full-year bull market, continues to lose steam. The midterm elections are less than 10 days away, and Middle East headlines keep oil prices elevated. Among the 11 Club names reporting this week, Boeing has a consensus revenue estimate of $23.8 billion and a loss of 21 cents per share, with third-quarter free cash flow expected at $330 million after a $700 million payment to the Justice Department. Azure is the key metric for Microsoft, and investors will also start getting an exact quarterly revenue figure rather than just a growth rate; its cloud backlog stood at $678 billion at the end of June, up 84%. FedEx reports a four-month period from June to September as it shifts to a January-to-December fiscal year, while Eli Lilly must deliver another beat-and-raise quarter to sustain its stock momentum.

• Could Stabilising Bond Yields Support Equities Through Year-End? JPMorgan Sees Scope for Recovery

  JPMorgan strategists, led by Mislav Matejka, say the rise in government bond yields this year may be nearing its limit, which could ease pressure on global equities through the final months of 2026. They note yields had become extended and bond markets showed signs of being oversold. During the peak of the yield increase, forward price-to-earnings ratios fell by about three points for the MSCI All-Country World Index and the S&P 500, and by about two points in Europe. The bank believes changes in US monetary policy expectations already explain most of this year's rise in 10-year Treasury yields, and it sees inflation expectations as relatively contained, even though recent US inflation readings beat expectations. It does not expect AI-related debt issuance to crowd out sovereign bond demand, but still flags France as a risk requiring monitoring, citing key differences from the 2010–2012 eurozone debt crisis.

• Can ‘Reddit Max’ Save RDDT From Slower Growth Guidance on Oct. 29?

  Reddit reports third-quarter results on October 29, with shares down 37.25% year to date and down 7.61% over the past week to $144.25. Last quarter, EPS came in at $1.25 against a $0.9673 consensus, and revenue rose 61% to $805 million. Management guided Q3 revenue to $860 million–$870 million, or 47%–49% growth, while the revenue consensus sits above the top of that range. Reddit Max is seen as a key factor, with advertisers using Max up over 60% from Q1 and Max revenue up over 150%, though U.S. logged-in user growth was just 1% last quarter and search referrals have declined as AI Overviews from Alphabet threaten drive-by traffic.
