The Swiss National Bank (SNB) reported a profit of CHF 44.2 billion for the first nine months of 2026, driven mainly by CHF 29.79 billion in currency gains as the franc weakened against the dollar, euro, yen and pound. Equity valuation gains of CHF 23.70 billion were partly offset by CHF 22.58 billion in price losses on interest-bearing securities. Third-quarter profit was CHF 19.07 billion, down from CHF 27.93 billion a year earlier, after a CHF 0.5 billion loss in the first quarter. Total assets rose to CHF 945.83 billion as of September 30, from CHF 893.86 billion at the end of 2025.

- Dollar Slips Against Franc After Briefly Dipping Below 0 . 8225
On Oct. 20 the U.S. dollar briefly slipped below 0.8225, a support level in FXStreet’s technical analysis, before rebounding ahead of the Federal Reserve’s next decision. At 4:04 p.m. ET it bought 0.8245 Swiss francs, down 0.24%, within a session range of 0.8223 to 0.8271. Swiss data showed September imports rose 24.9% from August to CHF 21.881 billion and exports rose 1.5% to CHF 23.234 billion, narrowing the surplus to about CHF 1.4 billion mainly on an 87.8% jump in chemical and pharmaceutical imports.

The Fed raised its target range by 0.25 percentage point to 3.75%–4% on Sept. 16 and will announce its next decision on Oct. 28.
- 2026-10-30 - Interim results of the Swiss National Bank as at 30 September 2026
The Swiss National Bank (SNB) reports a profit of CHF 44.2 billion for the first three quarters of 2026, before allocation to provisions for currency reserves. Most of this came from foreign currency positions, which earned CHF 43.3 billion, including CHF 29.8 billion from exchange rate gains, while gold holdings recorded a valuation gain of CHF 1.2 billion. Swiss franc positions contributed CHF 0.1 billion, mainly from remuneration of sight deposit account balances and liquidity-absorbing operations. The SNB noted its financial result depends heavily on gold, foreign exchange and capital market movements, so only provisional conclusions are possible for the annual result, and the allocation to currency reserve provisions for the year will be determined at year-end.

- Canada raises interest rates for the first time in over 3 years
On Oct. 28, the Bank of Canada raised its policy rate by 25 basis points to 2.5%, as expected and its first hike since July 2023. Inflation hit 3.2% in September, above its 1-3% target, mainly due to energy prices and related transport costs. The bank raised its 2027 inflation forecast to 3.1% from 2%, and expects growth this year of 1%, up from 0.7% in July. Governor Tiff Macklem said further tightening may be needed but the bank will proceed cautiously, expecting inflation to reach 3.5% by year-end, while markets expect another 25 basis-point hike by January 2027. Some economists argue core inflation is near 2% and fear higher rates could hinder a fragile recovery amid trade tensions with the US.

- What Eldorado Gold (EGO) Said on Its Q3 Earnings Call
Eldorado Gold said commercial production at its Skouries project is now expected in late 2026, with total project capital rising to about $1.425 billion, though the company says the project remains fully funded. Third-quarter revenue rose 18% year over year to $512 million, supported by an average realized gold price of $4,326 per ounce versus $3,527 a year earlier, and adjusted earnings reached $0.49 per share compared with $0.41. Consolidated free cash flow was negative $191 million as the company continued investing in Skouries and McIlvenna Bay. Eldorado cut 2026 gold production guidance for its established mines to 410,000–430,000 ounces, excluding the two new projects, which are expected to reach nameplate capacity around mid-2027. The company has offtake contracts covering most expected Skouries output over the next two and a half years.
- Could Apple's First Touchscreen MacBook Pro, First Foldable iPhone Duo Phone, and HomeView Pole Vault Apple Beyond Nvidia to Become the First Company in the $10 Trillion Club?
Nvidia became the first company to reach a $5 trillion market capitalization last year on the back of the AI boom, but its shares have recently been pressured by concerns over AI financing, while Apple has hit record highs and at one point in a recent session passed Nvidia as the most valuable company. Apple's rally is driven by consumer devices, including the foldable iPhone Duo, the HomeView smart home display and a touchscreen MacBook Pro. Apple's fiscal third-quarter revenue rose 16%, and between Oct. 6 and Oct. 23 its market value rose about 4% while Nvidia's fell nearly 12%. Reaching $10 trillion would require Apple's value to climb nearly 100% from about $5.1 trillion today, and the stock trades at about 37 times forward earnings, with analysts expecting roughly 8% earnings growth next year. The author views $10 trillion as a long-term possibility rather than a near-term outcome, and says Nvidia may be just as likely to reach it first.
- Oracle Just Capped How Much New Money It Will Raise. I'd Consider Buying a Small Stake in the Stock.
At its investor day, Oracle repeated targets of at least $225 billion in fiscal 2030 revenue and $21 per share in non-GAAP earnings. Oracle will cap new stock and debt at $20 billion over fiscal 2027–2030, split $10 billion each, on top of $20 billion of stock already sold, versus $48 billion raised in fiscal 2026 when free cash flow was negative $23.7 billion. Management expects free cash flow to turn positive in the second half of fiscal 2028 and reach $30 billion or more in fiscal 2029. The author notes shares near $145 are down about 56% from their record close, and that at about 18 times the $8.10 adjusted earnings expected this fiscal year, the price looks reasonable. The author would consider a small stake and add more once capital spending starts to fall.
- 'Whale' Investors Rush to Pull Crypto Off Exchanges After Binance Hack
Institutional investors are rapidly withdrawing assets from centralized exchanges after the Binance hack to reduce security risks, according to CoinDesk, though the size of these outflows and their destinations have not been determined. Binance estimates total stolen assets at about 6.3 billion USD, of which around 3 billion USD has been frozen, including 2.3 billion USD in the stablecoins USDT and USDC. The main cause may involve a compromised laptop belonging to an engineer; Binance has temporarily suspended withdrawals, and co-CEO Yi He said the platform will cover all losses from the attack. Bitcoin dipped to a low of about 76,460 USD, and total liquidations reached 1.53 billion USD over 24 hours, nearly 84% of them long positions.
- The Smartest AI Stock to Buy on Anthropic's IPO Filing Isn't Anthropic
Anthropic has filed an S-1 with the SEC, signaling a future IPO, and lists Nvidia among its major industry partners. The author notes Anthropic uses multiple chips, and Nvidia's GPUs are heavily used in cloud environments where customers run Claude-based products. Nvidia expects global AI data center capital expenditures to reach $3 trillion to $4 trillion annually by 2030 and has guided for 70% revenue growth in 2027. Yet the stock trades at about 23 times this year's earnings estimates, 13.6 times next year's, and 27 times trailing earnings, which the author says does not reflect growth beyond 2026. The author argues Nvidia remains a strong AI investment, and other companies' 2027 spending plans could confirm that view.
- Trump Reveals Why the US Sent a Letter to Iran's Leaders
President Donald Trump denied directing Vice President JD Vance to send a letter to Iran to explore resuming peace talks, saying Vance proposed it to offer medical supplies. The Wall Street Journal, citing a source, reported the letter was sent on Trump's instructions and aimed to persuade Trump against a sudden, large-scale strike on Iran. Iran's Tasnim news agency said Tehran received the letter but has not responded, and repeated conditions including lifting the US naval blockade of Iranian ports and ending sanctions on its oil exports. A senior Iranian official said proposals from Qatar were unacceptable, while US military options remain under consideration after Admiral Brad Cooper briefed Trump at the White House.
