- Tech Layoffs 2026 : Job cuts near 2 lakh globally as big tech like Microsoft , Google , Oracle , Meta & more pivot to AI
Tech job cuts continued through 2026 as major firms restructure around AI, with nearly 196,000 tech workers affected globally as of late October. May was a peak month, when nearly 29,000 tech jobs were eliminated. The cuts are concentrated at highly profitable companies and are often rewarded by investors, as they signal margin expansion. The main driver is shifting capital toward AI data centres, foundation models and specialised talent. Indian IT services firms have also reported muted headcount growth, slowed fresher hiring and emphasised upskilling and automation, with revenue per employee and AI readiness now key measures of corporate health.

- Meta and Google are about to have a consumer AI showdown
Meta (META) and Google (GOOG) are heading for a showdown over consumer AI assistants, a race to control the next dominant tech platform. Meta's Muse, which launched last month as the first popular AI agent for everyday users, has hit a download milestone, but cautious users may wait for Google or Apple (AAPL) given how much trust is needed for emails, calendars and wallets. Bank of America analysts said Google is well positioned with proprietary models, custom silicon and broad distribution, and a competitive agent or broader Gemini 4 launch could be catalysts. The two firms account for more than half of global digital ad revenue, yet AI agents could move users away from the screen-phone-app model that underpins those businesses.

- Gold price today 30/10: Sinks to one-month low
Domestic gold prices fell 800,000 to 1.3 million VND per tael on the morning of 30/10, hitting their lowest level in a month. SJC, PNJ and Bảo Tín Mạnh Hải quoted bid prices of 138.4 million VND and ask prices of 141.4 million VND per tael, while Mi Hồng's bid was 139.9 million VND; gold rings also dropped by 800,000 to 1.3 million VND per tael, with prices varying by brand. Spot gold in the early hours of 30/10 traded at 4,023.8 USD per ounce, down 6.6 USD (0.16%). Gold has been under pressure as the US economy grew faster than forecast and inflation remained high, reinforcing expectations that the Fed will keep tightening and raise rates by year-end, while lower oil prices and new US-Iran diplomatic signals eased energy inflation concerns. The Fed held rates steady with a 10-2 vote, and a stable US labour market could leave room for a rate hike in December.
