The 30-year yield climbed more than 1 basis point to 5.3200%. CME FedWatch data showed a 90.6% probability that the FOMC will keep rates unchanged at 375-400 basis points, while expectations for a 25 basis point hike at the Dec. 9 meeting stood at 76.5%.

- Greenback eases from 18 - month high as US Treasury yields fall ; Fed hike bets ease
The US dollar index slipped 0.2% to 102.03 after hitting an 18-month high the previous day, as sharp falls in US Treasury yields weighed on the greenback. The 10-year yield dropped to 5.085% and the 30-year to 5.428%, both near three-week lows. Hot US inflation data had lifted bets on an October Fed rate hike to 50%, but Fed officials including Michelle Bowman and Mary Daly said the central bank could wait for clearer data, tempering those bets. The euro rose 0.5% to $1.1216 and sterling gained 0.5% to $1.3253, while the Australian dollar fell 0.7% to US$0.6919 after local employment unexpectedly slid in September. Investors will watch remarks from Fed chair Kevin Warsh at the IMF-World Bank meetings in Bangkok on Friday.

- Asia FX muted, yuan at 4-yr high; dollar drifts lower ahead of c.bank-packed week
Most Asian currencies moved little on Monday as the dollar drifted lower ahead of a week packed with central bank meetings, most notably the Federal Reserve. The dollar index fell 0.17% in Asian trade after hitting an 18-month high earlier in October. The Fed is widely expected to hold rates at 4.0% on Wednesday, after raising them by 25 basis points in September, its first hike in over three years, as U.S. inflation stays well above its 2% target. Traders will watch comments from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, along with U.S. third-quarter GDP and September PCE data. The yen was muted before a Bank of Japan meeting, where rates are expected to stay at 1.25% but with a hawkish outlook, while the yuan rose to a four-year high with support from the People's Bank.
- Gold Prices Rise Above $4,200 in Futures Trading as Fed Rate Hike Expectations Ease
Gold rose above $4,200 an ounce in US futures on Monday as traders scaled back expectations of another Federal Reserve rate hike after comments from Chair Kevin Warsh. Spot gold gained 0.4% to $4,180.29, while US gold futures rose 0.5% to $4,200.92. The implied probability of a 25-basis-point hike at the next meeting fell below 20%, after US inflation data released the previous week exceeded expectations. Silver, platinum and palladium also gained, while the US Dollar Index was roughly flat at 101.80. ANZ maintains a positive long-term view and expects gold to rise above $5,000 an ounce during 2027, though elevated bond yields and a strong dollar could pressure prices in the near term.
- Fed Chair Warsh Avoids Speculation On Rate Hikes
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said he would not speculate on future interest rate changes at the IMF and World Bank annual meetings in Bangkok on Friday (October 16), while reaffirming the Fed's commitment to price stability. The Fed raised its key rate to 3.9% in September, its first increase since 2023, as consumer price inflation rose to 3.7%. Warsh called the AI boom probably the most important development in the global economy, saying it could fundamentally change monetary policy and the real economy, and a Fed task force will hold a public hearing in November on AI's impact on the labor market. He expressed optimism that the U.S. will come out stronger, even as the Fed's recent actions have defied President Donald Trump's calls for rate cuts; the next rate meeting is October 27 and 28.

- Nearly 90% of large businesses are embracing tokenized cash to speed up payments: DBS
A DBS-commissioned EY survey of 422 finance leaders at companies with annual revenue above $500 million across 11 markets found that 88% are using or piloting tokenized money.

- VN-Index Reverses Higher as Digiworld Shares Unexpectedly Hit Floor
VN-Index reversed to gain in the afternoon session on Oct. 28, closing around 1,767 points, up 4.78 points (0.27%), led by banks, though liquidity remained below the previous week's average. Digiworld (DGW) shares hit the floor at 42,350 VND despite third-quarter net revenue of 11,022 billion VND (up 49%) and after-tax profit of 276 billion VND (up 66%). At Novaland (NVL), the sister of chairman Bùi Cao Nhật Quân registered to buy 30 million shares (about 312 billion VND) from Nov. 2 to Nov. 13, while CEO Dương Văn Bắc registered to sell over 10.6 million shares. The same day, the National Assembly debated draft amendments to the Securities Law, with Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn stressing the goal of protecting investors' legitimate rights and interests.
- 12 Companies That Launched Bitcoin Treasuries in 2025 Have Sold All Their Bitcoin. Here's the Potential Impact.
A dozen digital asset treasury (DAT) companies that began buying Bitcoin in 2025 have sold all their coins, mostly to repay debt or return cash to investors after their stocks fell, according to Bitwise's October 2026 market report. The DAT model pioneered by Strategy relied on issuing shares or debt to buy more coins while the stock traded above the value of its holdings, and the process reversed once that premium disappeared. Sequans Communications, for example, accumulated more than 3,200 coins from June 2025 and sold its last by Sept. 24 of this year after using the proceeds to eliminate convertible debt. With public companies' average cost at $80,500 per coin in September 2026, many sellers likely took losses after Bitcoin entered a bear market in October 2025. Corporate buyers absorbed a net 18% of new supply in Q3, so the sales had little effect on price, but Strategy, holding 848,517 coins (about 4% of the 21 million supply cap), could have a large impact if it became a major seller.
- GoldMining Commences Pre-Feasibility Study and Begins Infill Drilling with Three Drills at the São Jorge Project, Brazil
GoldMining has begun a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) and an initial 6,000-metre infill diamond drilling program at its 100%-owned São Jorge Gold Project in Pará State, Brazil, using three drill rigs. The drilling aims to upgrade inferred resources within the PEA pit shell to indicated classification and to provide fresh core for metallurgical and geotechnical work. The company expects the PFS to be completed in the first half of 2028. The PEA released June 11, 2026 modelled a 5,500 tpd open-pit operation over a 10.6-year mine life, with an after-tax NPV at a 5% discount rate of US$532 million, an after-tax IRR of 42.4% at a US$3,500 per ounce gold price, and average annual output of 51,250 oz. The company notes the PEA is preliminary and includes inferred resources, and there is no certainty it will be realized.

- If You Own A 401(k), You May Already Own A Piece Of Anthropic Before The IPO
Anthropic filed for an IPO on October 26, 2026, and three widely sold funds (Growth Fund of America, Fundamental Investors and Fidelity Select Technology Portfolio) already hold private Anthropic shares, giving some 401(k) savers indirect exposure. Each Anthropic position is 1.5% or less of fund assets, and SEC rules cap illiquid investments at 15% of net assets, so the stake is small compared with holdings such as NVIDIA, which was 19% of Fidelity Select Technology's roughly $37 billion in net assets. Funds value these private shares at estimated fair value, and Fidelity Select's values for its three positions rose between May 31 and August 31 with unchanged share counts. Anthropic's S-1 says redeemable convertible preferred shares will convert into common stock before the offering, and holders of substantially all existing stock agreed not to sell for 180 days after the prospectus date, with some exceptions.
