- Afternoon of October 22: Gold ring price at one company suddenly drops sharply
On the afternoon of October 22, gold bar prices at SJC, PNJ, DOJI, Bảo Tín Mạnh Hải and Bảo Tín Minh Châu were unchanged from the morning, while Phú Quý cut 300,000 VND per tael on both buy and sell sides. Among 9999 gold rings, prices diverged: SJC lowered its buy price by 1.1 million VND per tael and its sell price by 600,000 VND, while DOJI raised both by 200,000 VND to 138.2–142.2 million VND per tael. Sell prices for gold rings across the surveyed brands ranged from 140.3 to 142.2 million VND per tael, a gap of 1.9 million VND. Internationally, gold traded around $4,100–4,130 per ounce, under pressure from prospects of further Fed rate hikes and supply uncertainty in the Strait of Hormuz.
- Gold eases as investors await Fed signals on rate path
Spot gold fell 0.6% to US$4,115.50 an ounce in early Asian trade on Thursday, after hitting its lowest since Oct 15 the previous day, as investors awaited the Fed's Oct 27–28 policy meeting. Nearly all economists polled by Reuters expect the Fed to skip a hike in October and raise rates in December, and CME's FedWatch Tool shows a 90% probability of a December increase, which typically weighs on non-yielding gold. Saudi air defences intercepted a drone aimed at Saudi Aramco's Shaybah oil field, killing 2 people, and the U.S. has ordered some diplomats and family members to leave its Saudi missions. Spot silver fell 1.1% to US$57.33 an ounce, while platinum and palladium also declined.
- Gold Fund Gains 0.34% as Silver Fund Rises 0.27% | Gold & Silver, Oct 21
The gold fund GLD rose 0.34% to US$378.90 and the silver fund SLV gained 0.27% to US$52.26 on Wednesday 21 October, while the gold-miners fund GDX rose 0.72%. A dealer report from USAGOLD put spot gold near US$4,120 an ounce and spot silver near US$57.30, down about 1%, so the fund and spot readings for silver moved in different directions. The article could not confirm an official spot price or a single trigger for the day's move. Traders are weighing further US interest-rate rises ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting on 27–28 October. Polymarket bets gave 69.0% to two Fed rate rises in 2026, on US$1.13 million traded; the article stresses these are bets, not forecasts.
- Gold gains , silver slips as oil prices rise , Fed rate hike expectations persist - Kitco AM Report
Spot gold edged up to about $4,136.70 an ounce (up 0.31%), while spot silver slipped to about $57.510 (down 0.64%) in early Wednesday U.S. trading. Inflation stayed firm, with September consumer prices up 3.7% annually and producer prices up 6.3%. Traders priced about an 83% chance the Fed holds rates at its Oct. 27-28 meeting and about a 94% chance of a higher rate by the Dec. 9 meeting. The 10-year Treasury yield fell to near 5.1% from above 5.3%, supporting gold, though the firm dollar and prospects for further Fed tightening limit gains. Brent rebounded above $110.00 a barrel after reports of more attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, where direct shipments remain about 33% below prewar levels.
- Gold price today, Wednesday, October 21, 2026: Gold prices down 5.2% YOY one week ahead of the Fed's rate decision
December gold futures opened at $4,143.40 per troy ounce on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, flat from Tuesday, and slid to $4,132 by 6:28 a.m. ET. The opening price is down 1% from one week ago, 6.1% from one month ago and 5.2% from one year ago. Most expect the Fed to keep rates steady next week, but many still expect at least a 25 basis point increase after its December meeting. The article links the outlook to the war in Iran, which is fueling inflation concerns as Brent crude stays above $110 a barrel, and says higher rates could weigh on gold, which pays no interest to investors.

- SpaceX stock slips as tech trade tumbles
SpaceX (SPCX) shares slipped early Thursday, giving back more than half of Wednesday's 7.8% post-earnings gain as the broader tech trade fell after Meta's results and fresh headlines about the US/Israeli war with Iran. SpaceX guided fourth-quarter capex to $35 billion to $40 billion, up from $19.6 billion in the third quarter, and ended the quarter with $36.1 billion in debt; its CFO said the company is investment grade. Musk said a SpaceX–Tesla tie-up would be a “good idea,” but both companies have formed special committees, and insiders worry the resulting scrutiny could delay talks by several weeks. Bloomberg reported the companies aim to announce a deal in the first half of 2027, while JPMorgan more than doubled its price target to $500 from $240 and BofA raised its target to $275 from $235.
- Tesla earnings beat puts SpaceX merger speculation back in focus
Tesla reported third-quarter earnings of $0.48 per share, beating the $0.44 estimate on better automotive profitability, and cut its 2026 capex forecast to about $20 billion from $25 billion. Bank of America said more than 75% of North American customers opted for paid FSD at delivery, up from more than 55% in the second quarter, and Tesla now has over 1.7 million paid FSD users worldwide. The company is nearly sold out of Megapacks for 2027 and has started producing Optimus robots in Fremont, though reaching 20,000 units a week would take at least a year. Meanwhile, UBS said investor attention is largely focused on a potential SpaceX combination, and Tesla shares may stay sensitive to sentiment about any deal.
- Pepsi renews contract with Taco Bell days after KFC switches to Coke in the U.S.
PepsiCo and Taco Bell announced on Thursday that they have renewed their long-running partnership through 2036. The renewal came a week after Taco Bell's sister chain KFC said it would switch to Coca-Cola as its U.S. beverage supplier, a move seen as a symbolic win for Coke over its rival. A KFC U.S. memo obtained by CNBC said Pepsi remains an important partner for parent Yum Brands' international markets. Taco Bell has long served Pepsi-exclusive items such as Mountain Dew Baja Blast and Doritos Locos Tacos, and under the renewed deal its international markets, including Canada, the UK, Ireland and Thailand, will serve Pepsi products.
- Prediction: Here's What a $1,000 Investment in Archer Aviation Will Be Worth by 2030
Archer Aviation (ACHR), a developer of eVTOL aircraft, went public through a SPAC merger in September 2021 and opened at $9.90 per share the next day, but now trades below $4. The stock has fallen because the FAA has not yet approved its first commercial flights, the company trails Joby Aviation in certification, and it has little near-term commercial revenue, ongoing losses, high valuations, and lawsuits with Joby and Vertical Aerospace. Analysts expect revenue to rise from under $1 million in 2025 to $507 million in 2028, when the $3 billion market cap equals six times sales. The article's scenario assumes analyst estimates are met through 2028, 20% revenue CAGR through 2030, and 10 times sales in the final year, which would lift the market cap to $14.6 billion, nearly fivefold, but the stock could sink much lower if it misses near-term goals.
- Bill Ackman says 2027 will be an amazing year for stocks as wars, inflation ease
Pershing Square CEO Bill Ackman said the Ukraine-Russia and U.S.-Iran wars, along with elevated inflation and interest rates, are holding back an otherwise “booming market environment.” He argued that once the war overhang ends, and with signs of progress on Russia-Ukraine, energy prices could fall sharply, which would help inflation and markets. Speaking to CNBC’s “Money Movers” on Thursday, he said, “We’re going to have an amazing 2027.”
