Zhuhai Huafa Group, almost wholly state-owned and carrying interest-bearing debt of RMB 413 billion (VND 1.5 million billion), missed payments on two trust products and asked to extend some bank loans, triggering the sharpest selloff in China’s credit market in two years. Within two sessions to November 2, yields on benchmark Chinese corporate bonds rose 10.3 basis points, and the Huafa real estate unit posted a net loss of RMB 6.44 billion in the first nine months. Fitch placed Huafa on rating watch negative at BBB, while Huafa has since repaid one of the two delayed trust products. According to China Zheshang Bank, if Huafa keeps paying public bonds in full, the episode could be a temporary liquidity crunch, but extensions or restructuring could force markets to reassess risk across the state-owned enterprise sector.

- Rising rates make risky corporate bonds even riskier
Yields on corporate bonds from the lowest-rated companies have risen faster than those from safer issuers over recent months, as higher government bond rates push up borrowing costs across the economy. High-yield bonds, or junk bonds, pay more interest to compensate lenders who may not recover their money if borrowers default. Experts cited companies rated CCC, including retailers PetSmart, Michaels and Guitar Center, where interest expense takes up a large share of cash flow. Higher costs can force companies to cut investment, and investors may shy away from these bonds, making it harder to refinance debt and raising the risk of bankruptcy.

- XAU Resources Announces Planned Soil Sampling Program at the Noseno Gold Project, Guyana, Following Airborne Geophysics Interpretation
XAU Resources (TSXV: GIG) plans to start a field exploration program in early November 2026 on the Noseno gold property in northwest Guyana, where it holds an option to acquire 100%. The first stage is a soil sampling campaign of approximately 790 samples over 39 line-km in the core of Target Area 1, part of a planned program of about 4,325 samples over two priority areas. Interpretation of 5,247 line-km of airborne magnetic and radiometric data, acquired in 1994 and covering 865 km², identified a major NW-SE structure and at least two interpreted intrusive bodies, which the company considers prospective targets. Selective grab samples from an artisanal working near the historical Williams prospect returned 51.55 g/t Au and 6.13 g/t Au from quartz veins, though the company notes these are not necessarily representative of mineralization on the property. The company could not independently verify the original 1994 data, so the airborne interpretation is indicative only and requires ground verification.
- Chinese Tape Maker Soars 787% in Market Debut as Beijing Moves to Halt New IPO Filings

- Five Ways North Korea Breaks Into Crypto Firms—and How Binance Was Hacked
Alleged North Korean hackers drained $6.3 billion from Binance in just 20 minutes, the largest crypto hack on record, according to the exchange. The attackers compromised an engineer's work computer through a fake job interview, used an internal AI tool to take over other engineers' computers, and then hijacked an internal wallet signing service with stolen credentials. The article also describes other tactics linked to North Korean groups, including fake employees, fake job interviews and poisoned code libraries, and Binance said it detected and prevented 57 suspected North Korea-linked cases in 2026. One group reportedly infected at least 30,000 devices in more than 100 countries between December 2025 and July 2026, took funds or credentials from over 7,000 crypto wallets, and moved around $10.71 million to North Korea. One estimate attributes 60% of all losses last year to DPRK-linked groups.
- Nvidia Stocks Rebound 2.84% Before November 17 AI Earnings Check
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) rebounded 2.84% to $207.80 at 11:00 a.m. ET on November 3, ending four straight losing sessions, after the prior session had pushed the shares below their 200-day moving average. The company will report results and hold its conference call on November 17. Its previously disclosed third-quarter revenue guidance is about $108 billion, plus or minus 2%, versus roughly $96.2 billion in the previous quarter, and reaching the midpoint would require about 12.3% sequential growth. The GuruFocus GF Score is 96 out of 100, with strong readings for profitability, growth and momentum, while the valuation component trails those strengths.
- Forget Nvidia: Eli Lilly Will Become “the Most Valuable Company in the World,” Says Macro Investor
Eli Lilly (LLY) hit a record high on Friday, with market value around $1.1 trillion, level with Berkshire Hathaway, after third-quarter sales rose 39% and the company raised its 2026 revenue forecast to $91-$92 billion from $85-$87 billion. Macro investor Jordi Visser argues Lilly will become the world's most valuable company, as its growth comes from healthcare spending that recurs every year, while Nvidia is more exposed to disruption. The article notes that passing Nvidia, which was worth $4.9 trillion, would require Lilly's value to rise far beyond its current level and would require Nvidia's earnings estimates to break down. Lilly trades at about 34x forward earnings, below its five-year average of 40x, though tirzepatide (sold as Mounjaro and Zepbound) made up 65% of its revenue in the first half of 2026, and generic makers have filed to sell copies of both in July.
- Top VC Warns: “Depreciation Is Going to Start Hitting” Microsoft, Google and Meta. Here’s Where Things Get Ugly
Big Tech lost nearly $900 billion in market value last week after another jump in AI spending. Alphabet fell 13% after reporting negative free cash flow of $9.1 billion in the third quarter, while Meta spent $34.9 billion on capex against $32.8 billion of operating cash flow. Scale Venture Partners' Rory O’Driscoll expects depreciation from roughly $500 billion of spending this year to start hitting earnings in 2027. Meta is already feeling it: its depreciation rose 44% in the third quarter, and its operating margin before a $9.89 billion legal charge fell about 5 points from a year earlier. Microsoft and Alphabet can offset this with cloud growth, such as Google Cloud revenue jumping 103%, but Meta has no cloud business to rent out its new capacity.
