- US - Iran Peace Deal Hopes Rise as Bitcoin Eyes $90K
A US-Iran peace deal could be announced within days, according to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, though neither government has officially confirmed a breakthrough. Talks reportedly cover military de-escalation, sanctions relief and Strait of Hormuz restrictions, while Iran's nuclear program remains a major obstacle. Bitcoin traded near $82,500 and would need to rise about 9.1% to reach $90,000, while Brent slipped toward $108 per barrel and WTI hovered near $101. Analysts noted Bitcoin's mixed performance after past US midterm elections, which fall on November 3, and Michael Saylor predicts a recovery above $100,000.
- Bitcoin seeks support above $81K as Brent crude oil hits highest level since March
Bitcoin dipped below $81,000 as US stocks slipped and Brent crude rose to $116 per barrel, its highest since March 19, amid Middle East tensions. Concerns that the US may renew military strikes on Iran around the midterm elections pushed WTI above $102 per barrel. BTC fell to $80,988 before recovering to around $81,600, while bulls were trying to reclaim the 50-day simple moving average at $81,781. Analyst Keith Alan said that if that fails by the close, he is looking for a support test in the $78k–$80k range. Cointelegraph noted that $80,000–$81,500 is where investors in spot Bitcoin ETFs have their aggregate cost basis, making it a notable support zone.
- Stock Market Midday, Nov. 2: Stocks Rally as Oil Prices Tumble on Diplomatic Hopes
As of 11:31 AM ET, the Dow Jones rose 1.05% to 52,314, the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.76% to 25,631 and the S&P 500 climbed 0.64% to 7,629 as risk appetite returned. Crude oil fell more than 7% as investors bet on a diplomatic resolution to the conflict with Iran, while gold rose 1.97% to $3,975.80. Oracle dropped 6.2% after announcing a $20 billion fundraising plan, while Amazon rose more than 4% as investors reassessed its record cloud growth. The article says Oracle's filing for $10 billion in stock and $10 billion in bonds to fund AI infrastructure shouldn't have surprised investors, as it followed capital spending plans announced last week.
- Lower Oil Prices Help Gold Market Recover
Global gold prices recovered on Nov 2 after the previous session's sell-off, as crude oil fell more than 3% following reports that Iranian negotiators had joined a third straight day of talks with Qatari mediators in Doha aimed at ending the US-Israel-Iran conflict. At 13:33 Vietnam time, spot gold rose 0.9% to USD 3,907.94 per ounce, after hitting a one-year low in the previous session. Kyle Rodda of Capital.com described the move as mainly a technical rebound, as cooling oil prices eased inflation concerns. High energy prices tend to raise expectations that the Fed will keep rates higher for longer, increasing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold, while investors also watch the US midterm elections on Nov 3. Domestically, SJC gold in Hanoi was quoted at 137.00-140.00 million VND per lượng (buy-sell) on the afternoon of Nov 2.
- Gold rebounds toward $3,900 as dip buyers emerge, Iran risks persist
Gold rose on Monday as lower oil prices eased inflation concerns and bargain hunters returned after bullion's steepest monthly decline since 2008. Spot gold gained 0.6% to $3,900.05 an ounce, while silver rose 1.4% to $49.83 and platinum fell 3.4% to $1,434.65. The metal had plunged 3.7% in the previous session to a one-year low. Risks remain as Trump has repeatedly threatened to resume strikes against Iran after the midterm elections, and Tehran has warned of a broader retaliatory response. A tech-led stock selloff has also led investors to sell gold to cover equity losses.
- Despite stalled talks, Trump yet to decide on new Iran strike
On October 31, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said President Donald Trump has not yet decided whether to strike Iran again, amid reports the U.S. could resume attacks after the November 3 midterm elections. Rubio accused Iran of openly and deliberately targeting commercial vessels, while stressing that Trump prefers a diplomatic solution, and declined to comment on negotiations or give a timeline for a deal. Iranian negotiators are meeting Qatari mediators in Doha; Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran has reviewed a letter from U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and called it a “positive step.” According to Reuters, Iranian officials reportedly dislike Qatar's seven-day plan and have proposed their own: the U.S. would lift its blockade of Iranian ports, release frozen assets and approve an Iran-backed shipping arrangement through the Strait of Hormuz. Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned the U.S. and Israel not to carry out further attacks and ordered the armed forces to be ready to respond immediately.

- Intel foundry push faces critical test after stock's 45% plunge in October
Intel shares plunged 29% on Friday, their worst day since the 1970s, after the company forecast this quarter's revenue would be $1 billion to $2 billion below analysts' estimates amid a weak PC market hit by rising memory costs. The stock had already dropped 45% in October, the steepest monthly decline on record according to FactSet. Despite spending a large chunk of its $108 billion in capital expenditures over about five years to challenge TSMC in foundry, Intel still has no marquee customer for its most advanced chips. Data center revenue rose 78% to $7.3 billion in the third quarter, but Intel says it can't make enough chips to meet demand and is shifting some Oregon capacity from 18A to the older Intel 3 node, which could complicate efforts to win outside foundry customers. CEO Lip-Bu Tan said “a couple customers” would be announced within the next two quarters.
- Prediction: Nov. 3 Will Be a Huge Day for the Stock Market
On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, midterm elections will determine whether Republicans keep control of Congress or Democrats gain enough seats to check President Donald Trump's agenda. With 49% of the S&P 500 tied to AI, the outcome could have an outsized effect on the stock market. According to Capital Group, the S&P 500 has gained an average of 15.1% excluding dividends in the 12 months after midterm elections since 1950, and markets tend to favor the stability that divided government brings. Because data center builders rely heavily on borrowing, bond yields shape AI spending: larger players like Meta and Amazon might pull back, while smaller, indebted firms such as CoreWeave and TeraWulf could struggle to get financing. The author notes Democrats have been more opposed to data center construction, so a Democratic sweep could bring more regulatory difficulty for AI, and argues that Treasury yields may reveal more than the S&P 500's moves.
- Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) Delivers Strong Azure Growth as AI Demand Exceeds Supply
Janus Henderson's Global Sustainable Equity Fund returned 1.86% in the third quarter of 2026, matching its benchmark and outperforming the IA Global peer group's 0.38%. In its investor letter, the fund highlighted Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), where revenue rose 18% to $90 billion and Azure growth accelerated to 43% from 39%, with management forecasting around 45%. Copilot reached 30 million seats after adding 10 million in the quarter, and management committed to remaining free cash flow positive through fiscal 2027. The letter said demand for Azure continues to exceed supply. Over one month the stock fell 2.21%, closing at approximately $521.19 on October 29, 2026, with a market cap of about $3.82 trillion, and traded between $349.20 and $551.15 over the past 52 weeks.
- Scott Galloway: Zuckerberg Is “Clearly Coming for YouTube” and Its 16% of TV Time
Instagram is testing “Features,” horizontal videos up to 90 minutes long, with a small group of creators in Brazil and the US, and its app is now available on Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Google TV and Samsung sets. Scott Galloway argues Meta is targeting YouTube, which he estimates accounts for 16% of TV viewing time, twice Netflix's 8%. He sees Meta's 3 billion users and AI-driven algorithm as a real opportunity, although Meta stumbled with long-form video through IGTV and has not said how it will share ad revenue with creators as YouTube does. Meta's revenue topped $200 billion in 2025, and analysts expect it to reach $373 billion by 2028, while management expects 2026 capex of $135 billion to $145 billion. Excluding a legal charge, Meta's third-quarter operating margin was 35.4%, down from 40.1% a year earlier.
- Coca-Cola Is the Most Boring Stock I Own. After 64 Years of Dividend Raises, I'll Never Sell.
The author holds Coca-Cola as nearly 5% of their portfolio, their fourth-largest position, and says they have no plan to sell. Coca-Cola has raised its dividend for 64 consecutive years, qualifying it as a Dividend King, with a forward yield of 2.3% versus 4.9% on the 10-year Treasury and a trailing payout ratio of 62%. Its capital-light model, which sells concentrates and syrups to bottling partners, helped it spend 79% of free cash flow on dividends over the past 12 months, while rival PepsiCo operates at lower margins by bottling its own drinks. Over the past 30 years, Coca-Cola's total return including reinvested dividends was 720%, below the S&P 500's 1,750%, though the author believes returns should smooth out over the coming decades.
- The 3 Best Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks to Buy in November
After late-October earnings reports, shares of Amazon and Alphabet sold off, and the author believes the market is missing the bigger picture for both. Google Cloud's revenue grew 103% in the third quarter, lifting Alphabet's overall growth to 25%, yet the stock fell over 10% the day after earnings. AWS grew 39% and accounts for 63% of Amazon's operating profit, so faster AWS growth should lift operating profit faster than revenue. Nvidia told investors to expect 70% revenue growth in 2027 following its second-quarter report, while trading at 26 times trailing earnings and 13 times next year's earnings. The author argues that if Nvidia returned to its current 26 times earnings level, the stock would need to double.
